It hasn't taken long for me to start learning a few words of Russian. I can't pronounce most of them yet but I recognize them in writing.
детская площадка: Children's playground, or just playground
карусель: Carousel
Граффити: Graffiti
Библиотека: Library
Памятник: Monument
Карта: Map
What words do you recognize that you didn't know before?
Comments
so hard xD
Баскетбольная площадка means Basketball Court
Деревянный Витязь means Wooden Knight
And I must say I love reviewing at Russia so far. I choosen Lake Baikal region (city Listvyanka).
I have mostly nominations from Irkuck, but even if I got something common to review, I always have some nice POI in duplicate list to see - and they're quite interesting too :)
Almost everywhere is streetview, most things are visible on map view and translation by Google Translate is working really well - so it's quite nice to review. I have mostly 1 of 10 reviews in Russia (other are from my playing location), but they're all quite nice :)
покестоп !! (Pokestop)
Oooh! Pokestop is a good one.
арт объект: Art object. I guessed this one correctly.
BOB: World War II (The Great Patriotic War) (великой отечественной войны)
Беседка: Gazebo.
пеший доступ: Pedestrian access.
общественный: Public
музей: Museum
поймать: Pokemon
поймать means to catch
An observation from another discussion: The word that translates to graffiti in English is used for all street art, not just vandalism/tagging.
That's a good catch on the Graffiti word. I've seen it used several times for really great art that I would not call graffiti over here.
Илона Маска: Elon Musk
Dont ask please xD
