The Russian language

Russian flagThe Russian language is the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia and the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages (though a part of the Indo-European family), ahead of Polish and Ukrainian. It is also the largest native language in Europe, with 160 million native speakers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. It is the first language of 175 million people and the second for another 115-125 million, so 300 million speak it in total. It is also spoken in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Moldova, Latvia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Estonia, and other old USSR states. Russian is the 8th most spoken language in the world by the number of native speakers and the 4th by total speakers. The language is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. There are more than 30,000 Russians in the UK and 10 times that of Russian descent.

Russian translation difficulties

Russian uses 6 cases whereas English no longer directly uses any. So the word дом (dom) in Russian can be "a house", "the house", "to the house", "of the house" etc depending on case ending.

In Russian, "I have" translates literally into "at (or by) me there is" (like Arabic uses "to me an object" to indicate "I have something"). Russian does have a word that means "to have": иметь (imet') — but it is very rarely used by Russian speakers in the same way English speakers use the word have; in fact, in some cases, it may be misinterpreted as vulgar slang for the subject rudely using the object for sexual gratification; for example, in an inept translation of "Do you have a wife?"

Vladimir Nabokov mentions that the Russian word пошлость (posh-lost') is one of the hardest Russian words to translate precisely into English. It roughly means a mixture of "banality, commonality and vulgarity".
