And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Originally posted by cronodevir I am trying to say and write "Little Music Machine" in russian. So far I got: Меньшяя машина нот Is that right? How is it pronounced?

Not correct. What you have there is literally "Minor Machine of Notes".. not very catchy.

Correct translation. But also remember what sounds catchy in English won't necessarily sound catchy in any other language. The above is the equivalent of "Small Musical Machine".

Not entirely correct

машина - is more commonly used in russian as a "car", not a "machine". So, in essence this would be interpreted as "Small Musical Car". In Russian, "mashina" (machine) is not used as widely to describe a device - perhaps in industrial speech. In every day conversation a more appropriate word would be "apparat" (apparatus/device/machine). Therefore, more accurate translation leaving no room for misinterpretation would be:

Маленький Музыкальный Аппарат

Another option would be to use a diminutive form of word "Mashina" and use "Mashinka" instead - literally meaning small machine. That would be:

Музыкальная Машинка


p.s. I now remember why I was kicked out of Russian 3, while trying to sneak in an easy credit and boost my GPA. I corrected my teacher about his incorrect spelling with a pre-revolutionary alphabet.

/nerd mode: OOOOON!

Not sure why but "Машинка" always makes me think of a sewing machine for some reason lol
