Hurrah! A Russian Cognate.

Filed under: Uncategorized — by chaibaby31 @ 8:00 pm

While looking at a website of Russian cognates (words that are similar in both languages) I came upon the strangely useless yet so interesting communality of the word ‘hurrah’. In Russian it is ‘ypa’. So now when I really want to do something but can’t express myself well I can just so ‘hurrah’ and everyone can think I am a huge dork. Perfect.
