AboutNatasha Kozyreva Expertise You can ask me questions on the Russian language, literature and culture. As a resident of Saint-Petersburg, I'd be glad to answer questions about it as well.
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.
