자주 묻는 질문
How do I ask 'where is X?' in a 러시아어 supermarket?
Use the standard locative form — 'Where can I find…?' — which sounds more natural than the literal 'Where is…?' in 러시아어.
What's the 러시아어 word for 'a kilo' or 'half a kilo'?
Most 러시아어-speaking countries use metric weights. The vocabulary list includes the common deli quantities.
Are plastic bags free in 러시아어-speaking countries?
Increasingly not — many countries charge for plastic bags or have banned them. The scenario teaches how to ask 'Is the bag free?' and how to politely decline.
What's the etiquette at the 러시아어-speaking checkout?
Greet the cashier (a quick 'hello' is expected), bag your own groceries, and say goodbye on the way out. Skipping the greeting is read as rude.
