Language Glossary

Dan, Risto, Greg, Jeff:- A few words which crop up in the books (and a couple which don`t).

Russian:-

Spasibo Thanks
Tovarich Comrade
Panjemajo? Understand?
Turak Idiot
Ulitsa Street or village
Paja hali Let`s go (or get moving)

Sabaka Dog
Prasstitutka Whore
Guano Shit

Job tvojemadj Go home and fuck your mother!

        Jeff:- Job Tvojematj is pronounced like this:

                job = yop - rhymes with `bop`
                tvoj = tvoy - rhymes with `troy`
                e = u - sounds like `you`
                matj = mat - rhymes with `hat`

German:-

Dan:- When Porta is dying in The Legion Of The Damned his last words are something like "Give old Adolf a kick up the arse for me. Servus!"

Well, I couldn`t find "Servus!" in any German dictionary so I checked with a German guy who works here and he says, "It`s not German, it`s Bavarian.... and it means `hello` or `goodbye` etc."

I guess this is like "Ciao" in Italian, you can use it as "Hi" or "Bye" whatever.

Thanks to Risto and Greg.
