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
:happy2:
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.

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