I've been practicing saying some of the Russian expressions to fuel the immersion into the game.

For those willing to do the same, here are some terms that you might find useful!

brasayu granatu = throwing grenade (bas-sa-yo gran-ah-too)
prikroy menya! = cover me! (as it's spelt I think)
vrag ubit = enemy killed (V-rag ooo-beet)
teninstojina = enemy down (ten-in-schtorj-ina) ... sounds like the R in schtoRj is Rolled

Taken from Russians translating what the Ruskies say on Modern Warfare 2, so their modern useage might not be applicable, but never mind... at least it isn't "tango spotted" or the likes! lol If anybody has any others with the phonetics post up!

I wouldn't worry about it. There's no alternative answer anyway, so we'll assume compliance.

The only pig-latin you need to know is the German invitation to surrender:

"RUSS. KOMM"

I've got most of the Russian I know from Sven Hassel books! Some choice swear words and important stuff like "Fritz, idisodar, davai, rukki werch!" - Fritz, come here, quickly, hands up! I need to find out what the Russian is for "Fritz, I'm going to neck shoot you and all of your comrades" :twisted:



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

Russian for Medic is "Sanitar" so thats going to be fun :roll:

Better work on your best "Meerkat" accents or go with "Tovaaritch Sanitar" to avoid confusion! :giggle:

“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942

"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."
Joseph Stalin, November 1942

The meerkats on the TV sound Polish to me, not Russian.
