Question
My boyfriends second language is Russian.  He told me to translate a word that I cannot find anywhere.  It sounds like "minoga" but I do not have an actual spelling.  Can you help. Thanks

Answer
Hi Sarah,

I believe the word should be минога, a kind of fish (a lamprey). Otherwise you might have slightly misheard the word много (a lot), but this is unlikely. Hopefully, you can see if one of them fits from the context.

Kind regards,
Natasha
