If ‘R’ is pronounced ‘arr’ then is ‘Я’ pronounced "rra’?
“Ya”. And the Cyrillic “H” is an N. So, ня = nya.
Nya!
НЯ!
ELIA: Explain like I’m American
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_alphabets#Common_letters НЯ -> Nya? (so sayeth google translate)
that cyrillic is probably spelt like cat.
Ah thanks
НЯ is pronounced nya which apparently can mean “cute” in Russian. Guess that might be the joke?
Cat is Кошка in Russian / кіт in Ukrainian
“Nya” is Japanese for “meow”.
Nya is an onomatopoeia for the sound a cat makes. Typically associated with pop culture representations of felines, catgirls/boys, and other cat-like beings.
Oooh I see. Thanks!
even better.
Slavic enough to read it, 196 enough to understand.
Я не понимаю.
Ну как? Кошки все-таки «ня» мяукают

(“You can also write English in other languages the way it’s read.” - Slovak.)Whenever I read this sort of Faux-Russian I pronounce it in my head like the kid in this Yeralash skit pronounces his english: https://youtu.be/-2LaVuvCj-I
Fuck this English!
That whole skit was brilliant :)
