I stayed at an old woman's flat in Russia called Фаина. It is a Tatar name.Quote:

But you should have known the answer to this question before you even posted; the teacher giving you grades is ALWAYS right. :wink:
the I prefer the truth.I don't care who give me grade. :D
My friend's grandmother's name is Фаина. I didn't know it was Tatar though, that's interesting. :)
It's ancient-Russian name. Not TatarQuote:

Файна - can be intentionaly used as a pun (игра слов).
There is Ukranian/Belorussian/Polish adjective файна (feminine gender).
lovely, charming, fine.
Ukranian:
Файна дівчина - beautiful girl.
Polish:
Faina dziewczyna
So english word fine and ukrainian файна are not just sound the same :)Quote:
