Pronunciation[edit]
You may here /pʌˈʐalstə/ often but it's not the only pronunciation and necessarily standard. /pʌˈʐalustə/ is OK too. й is invariably dropped Anatoli
Ah thanks Anatoli, that is the answer to my question :P User:Mallerd (Zeg et es meisje) 13:56, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Audio[edit]
The audio file is incorrect, both in the English and Russian page but I don't have another one. It seems (to me) like it was generated by a text-to-speech engine, not by a human. It has a clear [j] sound, which is never pronounced in this word. Anatoli 22:23, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- I think it’s a real woman, but she definitely mispronounces it. Maybe she’s Polish. I don’t know where to report audio-file errors. The file name is File:Ru-пожалуйста.ogg. —Stephen 22:34, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Since we don't have another one, it's OK to leave it as is, I think. I added a note on the Russian talk page. Anatoli 00:29, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
