Talk:False Friends of the Slavist/Russian-Polish

Untitled
I'd add the famous Polish-Russian "kawior z puszki". In Polish kawior is Russian икра (caviar), while Russian ковёр is a carpet (Polish dywan). Same with puszka which in modern Polish signifies a tin, while in Russian пушка is a cannon while tin is called банка.

So, in short, Polish phrase for Tinned caviar in Russia means A carpet out of the cannon, or something like that. Halibutt

You may want to compare this list with the one on Polish Wiktionary. --Derbeth talk 18:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

...of THE Slavist??
What's so specific about 'Slavist' here? It should be generic 'A Slavist' (=any Slavist). 89.231.110.85 (talk) 10:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
