Rina's Russian Glossary

Why? Because.

A great site is Google Translator for the Cyrillic and Romanization. An added bonus: it's not too polite to translate swear words. If Google Translator can't come through for you, try working here (in shiny blue!): English Online Translator and TTS.

The syllable in bold italic is the syllable stressed.

• Da svidaniya, Kapitan
  1. До свидания, Капитан = Goodbye, Captain = Da s'vidahnya, Kapitahn or Da svidaniya Kapitan (my spelling, using my own version of transliteration.)

This site is truly filthy and unfortunately does not offer the Cyrillic, making it hard to backcheck the transliterations. Yebani v'rot!.
