Лукас (pronounced as "LOO-kahs")

General Shepard says "Remember, no Russian" before the controversial airport massacre scene in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This phrase serves as a warning to the player about the upcoming violent mission.

singular: сестра - sih-STRAH

Russian only stresses one syllable in each word and vowels like "e" change their sound when they are not stressed. Therefore, it would not be pronounced "syeh" but rather "sih" as in the English word "sister"

Rabbit in Russian is "кролик" (pronounced kroh-LEEK).

In Russian, you say "персик" (pronounced: pehr-seekh) for peach.

"Krasivo" in Russian means "beautiful" or "beautifully." It is used to describe something that is aesthetically pleasing or pleasing to the eye.
