την Ρωσία - Translation
by Guest User - Saturday, 5 May 2007, 04:25 AM
  Hi everyone,

I am going through my lists of countries, trying to revise for a test; and I realise I don't have written down (and can't find in a dictionary) which country την Ρωσία is in English. Can anyone help?
Ευχαριστο

  Of course! I have been studying so hard that my brain is fried. That makes perfect sense! Thankyou so much.

  No probs smile

I actually just found that both spellings seem to be acceptable: my dictionary has it Ρωσσία but http://www.neurolingo.gr/online_tools/lexiscope.htm has it as Ρωσία.

Good luck with your study! smile

  The monotonic accent reform of 1982 brought a number of other changes, including the elimination of a lot of (though not all) written double consonants. The older, pre-1982 spelling was η Ρωσσία; the new post-1982 spelling is η Ρωσία.

Regards,
