Frequently asked questions

Are these Russian phrases formal or informal?

Most are neutral and safe for both casual and polite settings. When the difference matters in Russian, we choose the everyday-polite form.

How accurate is the romanization?

Romanizations are tuned for English speakers as a pronunciation aid, not a strict transliteration. Use them as a guide, then listen to a native speaker.

Can I copy Russian text into any app?

Yes. Every phrase copies as Unicode and pastes into chat apps, notes, email, design tools and word processors with no encoding issues.

Will my keyboard switch to Russian after copying?

No. Copy-paste only inserts the characters; your typing layout doesn't change. To type Russian regularly, install a system keyboard.
