Random Russian Words With Stress Marks and Latin Readings

How this list was compiled: Everyday Russian words. Each word's spelling, part of speech and meaning come from its own entry on English Wiktionary (wikitext read through https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php on 2026-09-30, 40 titles to a request, text under CC BY-SA 4.0; the entry's address is in x.src), Russian section. The stress mark and the reading in Latin letters are the ones printed on the entry's headword line, read by expanding the entry's own headword template through the same API and never worked out by our script; the reading is Wiktionary's transliteration of Russian (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Russian_transliteration), in which j is the y of yes, č is ch, š is sh, ž is the s of measure, x is the ch of loch and ʹ marks a soft consonant. Words of one syllable carry no stress mark, as on the entry. A noun's gender, a verb's aspect and its partner verb of the other aspect are read from the same headword line; where the line names two partners the first is given, and быть and стоить have none there. Деньги is plural only and кофе is given as masculine or neuter, as their entries say. The list is our own choice of everyday vocabulary and is copied from no exam body's or course's list. The English meanings are our own short wording; a script then checked that a word of each meaning stands in a definition line under the same part-of-speech heading of the entry, and words that failed were left out. Every English meaning was read for a school audience: no slang, insult, swear word, alcohol or adult term. After the file was written a script read it back and checked every row against the saved entry text again. Licence: own work
