Usage notes[edit]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, this word was famously used as a shibboleth by Ukrainians to identify enemy saboteurs. People from Russia struggle to pronounce it correctly, usually producing something like [pəlʲɪˈnʲitsə] on their first try, with the stressed /i/ being an especially noticeable mistake.
