Talk:пати

Suggested deletion or prove

Hi, I doubt this word is ever written that way, if used by Russians. It is used in Russian communities in English speaking countries and sometimes in Russia but it's considered an English word and pronounced the English way or [parti] - with a rolled "r". If I were to write the word in Russian, I would spell it "парти", (парти-тайм, парти-сервис, etc.). The spelling "пати" is relaxed and it won't go into dictionaries that way. Check for existence of Russian words on gramota.ru or Russian Wiktionary and Wikipedia. Anatoli 20:51, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

And it does exist at gramota.ru: here. It's included in В. С. Елистратов. Словарь русского арго. --Vahagn Petrosyan 21:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I am convinced now. I here "пати" (also "парти") from the Russian community in Melbourne but considered it Runglish. Normally the English words with the unpronounced "r" are transliterated with the Cyrillic "р". I asked a question in the Russian Wikipedia but since it exists in gramota.ru, it's not important. Russians in America are more likely to use "парти", rather than "пати" and I've seen this spelling on the web-sites, which are not blogs. Anatoli 00:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
