FOREWORD
This book is intended for students studying Russian with or without a
teacher (in study groups, at courses, etc.] outside Russian linguistic milieu.
It is a dictionary, i.e., besides lists oi the commonest Russian words (vo-
cabulary) with English translations, it gives grammatical characteristics of the
words and illustrative material, explaining not only the meanings of the words
but their uses as well.
The illustrative material consists of phrases and sentences showing the
meanings of the words, and brief contexts, which are traditional, ordinary,
semantically stable or, in any case, very commonly used, e.g. jiioSobf, k p6-
flHHe love for one*s country, c^^eJiaxB BLiBo;t to draw a conclusion, coBepmiixb no-
ciynoK to perform an action, KaK Bac 30ByT? What is your name?, Mbi onosfla-
JiH K na^ajiy cneKTaKJiH We were late for the performance, etc. A number of
words are followed by the sign <>, after which phrases, proverbs or figurative
expressions containing these words are given, e.g. JIlct KaK H3 Be^pa It is
raining cats and dogs, Bcero xoporaero All the best, Vm xopomo, a ABa jiynrae
Two heads are better than one, etc.
The vocabulary comprises some 3,000 of the commonest Russian words.
At the end of the Dictionary, thematic word lists are supplied, which
widen the scope of the vocabulary.
It is hoped that the study of the lexico-grammatical material of the Dic-
tionary will provide the necessary foundation for conversation on various
everyday subjects and reading of modern Russian fiction and periodicals
without consulting a Russian-English dictionary too often.
Every article in this Dictionary includes the word under consideration in
its initial form and defines it grammatically (either stating what part of speech
it is or giving its forms). If a word has several meanings, only the commonestof these are given, each under a separate figure. Homonyms are entered as
separate words marked 1, 2, 3, etc. Derivatives are not generally given in
the same article as their root words but as caption words, since the Dictionary
is based on an exact word count.
The part of speech is indicated only in the case of adverbs, numerals,
pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions and particles. Nouns, verbs and adjectives
have no such labels, as their grammatical characteristics given in the article
define them clearly enough.
Nouns are entered in the nominative singular, their gender andthe pecu-
liarities in the formation of the case forms, if any, are indicated. In the case of
an unstable vowel, the genitive singular (e.g. KOB\en, gen. -ua,end) or genitive
plural (e.g. naji|Ka, gen. pi. -ok, stick; okho, gen. pi. okoh, window) is supplied.
The paradigms of nouns declined irregularly are given in full.
Indeclinable nouns are marked indecl.
All those forms of nouns in which there is a stress shift are given, e.g. Bo^a,
ace. BoAy, water; ctojt, gen. ctoji^, pi. ciojiti, table; etc.
Adjectives are entered in the masculine; the feminine, neuter and plural
endings following the initial form. The comparative is given only if there are
1*
8/12/2019 Essential Russian-English dictionary
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/essential-russian-english-dictionary 8/188
irregularities in its formation (interchange of sounds, suppletion). Short form
adjectives are given in the same article as the long form ones.
Personal pronouns are followed by their declension paradigms. Possessive
and demonstrative pronouns are given in the masculine singular, followed bythe feminine, neuter and plural forms.
Verbs are entered in the infinitive, followed by the 1st and 2nd persons
singular and the 3rd person plural. Cases where a verb form is not used are
specially marked, e.g. npoaoJi>KaTbCH to continue, 1st & 2nd pers. not used; no-
6eAiiTb to win, 1st pers. sing, not used, etc. The peculiarities in the formation
of the past and the imperative are given. The past is supplied only if it is
formed irregularly or if its formation is accompanied by a shift of stress (BesTii
to carry — sea, Besjia; bbhtb to take — bbhji, BSflJia). Irregular formations of the
imperative are also supplied, e.g. 6HTb to beat— Sen.
Aspects of verbs are given in the following manner. In the case of perfec-
tive verbs only the infinitive is given, with reference to the imperfective formeaning. Articles containing imperfective forms also include the perfective
forms and illustrative examples explaining both forms.
After the imperfective forms questions are aupplied helping to determine
the government of the verb under consideration and of its perfective counter-
part in each of their meanings. If a verb has a different government in one
of its meanings, the questions are given for that particular meaning.
When a verb is used only in one aspect in one of its meanings, this is
always indicated, as well as the cases where the verb has one perfective coun-
terpart in one meaning and a different one in another.
Questions helping to determine the government of a word are also given
after certain nouns, adverbs and adjectives.Assuming that the student will work at the Dictionary simultaneously
with studying grammar, forms different from their initial forms are not entered
as separate words, e.g. meji (from h^th to go), Bwme (from blicokhh high),
MHC (from H /), etc. All such forms can be found in the articles on the ini-
tial forms. Exceptions are suppletive forms which are beginning to be used as
independent words with a specific meaning (e.g. jiioah people, jiynme better,
etc.). In such cases the suppletive forms are entered with reference to their
principal forms.
Participles and verbal adverbs are not entered at all.
In the Supplement, the words are grouped thematically.
In the section Names of Nationalities, the head words are the nouns de-noting nationality in the masculine and feminine singular and in the plural.
These are followed by the names of the countries and the corresponding adjec-
tives, e.g. ^^auny3 Frenchman, (^paunymeuKa Frenchwoman; ^paLRU,y3hi the French,
(DpanuHH France; (J)paHqy3CKHii French.
Forms which have not yet become quite stable are not given.
Stress is indicated throughout the Dictionary. The primary stress is marked
['], the secondary [']. All the words without independent stress should be
merged in pronunciation with the principal word, as xaK me, na ctoji, hc 6 bin,
He cxaji, etc. In some cases the pronunciation is given in square brackets.
