Thread: Embroided patch. (1, maybe 2 word)

Hello there !

Thanks for the forums entry, firstly.

It's about a patch I want to buy. (It wouldn't be as bad as a tatoo when you don't know what it means but still ^^)
I think I know for the first word, being the subject of that patch : "Stalker" (Is it?) But I don't know what the rest means.

I didn't found a way to use a translator with cyrillic, I tried by visually copying each letter but.. Well, got all over the place ^^

Thanks !

Ps: Oh yes, also : I'm not even sure it's russian, btw... Hope I will not be percieved as insulting ^^...

The text is:

СТАЛКЕР
ЖИТЕЛИ ЗОНЫ

which means ‘Stalker. Inhabitants of the Zone’.

The letter ‘з’ is written inaccurately on the patch. It looks more like ‘ә’ or ‘э’, but I think the word implied is ‘зоны’. I’m not really into the Stalker games or Strugatskys’ fiction though. Please correct me if I’m not right.

Yes yes it totaly makes sens ! It's that, for sure.

And it's fun because i was wondering for that letter !
When copy/pasting one per one, I didn't found any "inverted 6" like that !
Only remotely looking alike, like those you said.

Well, if there is a "embroiding typo" I'm not sure I want it anymore ^^

If I can add : Which word is which ?

Thanks !

Stalker is obviously сталкер. Жители is those who live somewhere as in inhabitants, зоны is "of the zone"

Thanks much, you two !

I feel ashamed thinking myself as a fan of the game's saga, "Inhabitants of the Zone" is precisely the definition of a Stalker in the lore, I should have figured it out by myself..
