I knew a man who could play a balalaika.
I've never seen him doing that, though. He was a professional musician, and balalaika was his speciality. Most people laughed uncontrollably when he told them about that. It's a mystery why Russians find their most famous folk instrument to be so hilarious.
I wonder, is balalaika a Russian instrument at all? The word doesn't sound Russian to me. I wonder, could it have come to us from Tartar or, say, Romany (language of gypsies)?

For me its name sounds very much in Russian tradition of naming of such things. The words каравай or таракан sound funny too, but they are Russian words.
Я так думаю.
better to have fake teeth than to eat out of a straw like you!I knew you were an old git with dentures.

Если верить Фасмеру, заимствование из тюркских языков маловероятно.
Обычное звукоподражание бренчащему звуку; он приводит похожий пример, балаболька "бубенчики".

It's not the best example."Tarakan" is not a vernacular Russian word, it was borrowed from Tatar language.
"Balalaika" is Russian, though. Originally it was "balоbaika", which was made from "baly" (chatter, jokes) and "baika" (a tale).

The reason why I asked this question was because I am coming to St. Petersburg on Wednesday for a few days, and I should like to know where to find somebody who can really play the instrument.
I promise that I shall not be drunk.
Try going to a music school.
