Yes, I would think it would be "zaichik", but maybe there is a deeper joke than we can see

Rabbit? Should have created a profile with "Nu Pogodi" as your name.

Writing style is a dead giveaway.


OP, if you want a Russian wife, just like the others said, learn to speak it (which is difficult) or just frequent areas with large Russian population like Hollywood.

"Zaichick" or "Zaiyetz" are the correct terms? Maybe? I think. Just means Rabbit.

As a Russian myself, specifically Ukrainian, I would say: learn about and be respectful of the culture. There are many Russians in the U.S., east coast, west coast, even quite a few in the midwest, but I am curious about your reasons.

Not to nitpick, but actually it means "hare", with "zaichik" being a diminuative. "Rabbit" is "krolik".

Let's see, the sweet age of 12. That's about 6th grade. Morphology, basic syntax, but you missed all the fun with intermediate grammar of the 7th and 8th grades and advance grammar of the 9th and 10th. And chewing on your pen trying to figure out what you could possibly make out of the relationship of Mrs Anna K with her poor cuckold of a hubby...

Ok, back to the -eg ending. How would you explain this toon, for instance:

And can you read and understand, for example this thread on a Russian forum:

Hint: by some Russian grammar rules, there are no errors in the text above... Neither in the title of the thread.
