Talk:Koschei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Russian there's an abstract concept and pronounced as koschunstvo, which means to do something really evil.
In Ukrainian as a joke I heard a translation of the Russsian Koschei Bessmertniy as Chahlik Nevmiruschiy. Chahliy means extremely old.

Koshei has something to do with gold "Там царь Кощей над златом чахнет..."(There is the Tzar Koshei loses health over his gold -Pushkin)–Gnomz⁰⁰⁷(?) 00:21, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I took out the part about American Gods because I could find no verification of Koschies presence in the book, I then read the book and could not find him

"In Russian there's an abstract concept and pronounced as koschunstvo, which means to do something really evil." - "koschunstvo" means blasphemy or abuse of somebody's memory--83.237.46.248 17:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move

To comply with WP:RUS, I propose moving this article to "Koshchey". Esn 11:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I think this would fall under the "Use conventional names" guideline. "Koschei" would appear to be a convention based on 44,800 Google hits as opposed to under 1000 for "Koshchey". Gr8white 19:42, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phonetics

Extremly useful would be a general pronounciation information, something like X-SAMPA or the like

[edit] Suicide Squad

Why is the Suicide Squad reference moved? It was a title published by DC comics like Sandman.

Please provide a reference. `'mikka 01:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
