Thread: Points

How do you say 'points' in Russian. I mean like a score, like "England has 10 points"

On my Aeroflot tickets it had a loyalty points scheme, and I think point was болл on that, but i can't really remember...

У Англии есть десять боллов ?

Очки is points in a game (like cards)
баллы is points in a contest (like eurovision)

Thanks! Yes, this was Eurovision context too!

So the nominative singular is Балл.

Очко means 'point' like in a game.

Балл is usually used in the context of an exam, a test etc.
Очко - in the context of a competition, a game (football etc).

В тему:
"Старик Рабинович, проходя мимо газетного киоска, читает заголовок в газете "Россияне вырвали очки у Лихтенштейна" и ворчит:
-Ну и как можно жить в этой стране? Интеллигентному человеку страшно выйти на улицу."

перестань!
