| Excellent game! Probably it would be better without the transliteration in the Latin alphabet (I played it only reading the Cyrillic names that appeared over the box), but probably in this way it would be more a quiz about the Cyrillic alphabet than about chemistry.
After the easy ones (Germaniy obviously can only be germanium, and so many more), I knew zoloto (gold), serebro (silver) and zhelezo (iron). I got vodorod and kislorod for hydrogen and oxygen (I had never seen those names before, but I guessed them because they correspond exactly with the Greek etymology: "water generator" and "acid generator"; it was a surprise for me!). When there were a few left, I confess that I guessed them by chance (I typed "lead", "copper", etc., until they were right). Obviously the prehistoric metals are the hardest, as they differ completely from a language to another. In spite of its declensions, perfective and imperfective verbs, Russian is a beautiful language! |
