May 27, 2008 at 10:51 PMThanks, it would be interesting to find more words with a Chinese origin in the Russian language.
My father, when learning French in Evening school, found it very amusing to see so many French words in Russian: bottle, sausage, beach, ... (the equivalent of which in French).
Maybe there's is more Chinese words as well.
