What Russian words that start with the letter w?

That is a little bit of a tricky question. The Russian language uses the Cyrillic alphabet and thus has different letters. On top of that, the sound the "w" makes in English does not exist in Russian. That is why, if listening to native Russian speakers speaking English, you will often hear them mispronounce English words with "w" as a "v". That being said, there are many Russian words that start with the Russian letter "в" (the English "v"): 1) вы ("viy") - means you (formal or plural) 2) Ваня ("vanya") - is a typical male name 3) верить ("vereet'") - is the infinitive of the verb "to believe"

Comparison of English and Russian adjectives?

Using adjectives in English tends to be simpler. English employs just one form of the adjective, whereas the adjective in Russian could change based on its use in the sentence or the other words around it. In addition, Russian classifies its adjectives into three categories: normal, short, and comparative. English does not divide adjectives this way.
