Thread: Any Russian words spelled like English words???

OK, here's what I have so far of Russian words (using the English looking alphabet letters only) that are also English words:

МОРЕ. НОВО. РОЕТ. СОСКУ. HOPE, BOP, HOP

Can anyone think of any other words???


Thanks!

Well, using the Internet anagram server, excel and some internet translators (not to mention far too much of my time) I've got this list:

In English alphabetical order:

AC, ACE, ACT, BATT, BATTY, BAM, BATE, BEEP, BET, BETA, BOB, BOCK, BOT, CAM, CO, COB, COKE, COM, COP, HAP, HE, HEM, HO, HOB, HOC, HOT, MAKE, POE, POEM, POKE, POKY, POT, TAPE, TETE, TOKE, TOM, TOP, TOPE, TYPE, TYPY.

Notes:
1) This only covers word which appear in anagrams of AKOMTBCEPHYXAKOMTBCEPHYX in English (i.e. letters may only be used twice and some words are possibly ommited from consideration)

2) I didn't include KATE, since it is a proper name in both languages (the dative case in Russian of Катя)

3) This list considers Е and Ё as the same letter (e.g. Tете is actually Тёте - dative case of Тётя - aunt. There may be other examples in the list)

Still, I think this is enough to keep you going for the moment!

Actually, what you do is not words but their forms.

Один тщательный математик не смог напечатать на машинке выражение а+в=с, потому что у него не было на ней латинского регистра.

Конечно, не мог! В математических формулах пользуются не прописными буквами.

I don't think Y = У.
It's almost like to use 4 instead of Ч, or /\ instead of Л, or >|< instead of Ж.

No it's not. And look at the small forms: y у they are almost identical. And the handwritten forms are almost the same too.
That's like saying, м doesn't = m, or т doesn't = t

Впрочем, это не имеет отношения к делу.
