Thread: Basketball Translations

coach=тренер
player=игрок
win(noun)=победа
fight(noun)=борьба
Lady Devils=дьяволицы (in russian sex is often determined by suffix, so there is one word required only)

And one more thing: russian is all about chaining words by prefixes, suffixes and endings. So you can easily choose wrong forms of the same word without proper context. I recommend to you describe not only meaning required but context of it's application also.

Thanks! What about "win" and "fight" as both verbs?

Also, would "Леди дьявола" be wrong? In English, our female team is the "Lady Devils" and our male team is just the "Devils."
