Thread: Ваше любимое русское слово?

Я очень люблю словы "корабль" и "карандаш". По-моему они звучат элегантные!




Apparently the famous Swiss pen makers had the same opinion!

Wow, looks great. I've never thought that a Russian word can be used in such a fashioned way by a foreign company.

That's one of the biggest pen makers in Europe. I have some fountain pens by them. They make all sorts of high quality stationary. Not sure how they choose that name.



Now you see why I don't say anything in Russian here! i get so discouraged and upset when I make stupid mistakes like that.

In principle I know that -o nouns are -a in plural. But I temporarily forgot it...
But why "элегантно"?? It's referring to something in plural............

Because элегантно refers to the verb here (звучат) and you need an adverb (элегантно) not an adjective (элегантные) that refers to the noun (слова).
