> russian is insanely unaffected with loan words oh boy... my southern brother russian since imperial times is more or less an artificial language which mostly consists of loan words. i'm not even being political here. they've actively replaced slavic words with loaned ones to "modernize" the language, as you can see in how they name their months as compared to poland, ukraine or even croatia for that matter. there's a ton of french in russian language, as well as german, english, dutch and so on. that's just how the language came to be. russian writers were butthurting and joking about this even in the 18th and 19th centuries.  > everybody uses some form of "nuclear" but russians have some completely different word. they have both, they nave the word "yeap" which is how russian would write "nuclear" in russian adjective form. but it's most commonly used to describe a family, i.e. a nuclear family. their own word is just a russian one-to-one translation of nuclear, i.e. "ep" which is an russian adjective for saying "(of the) core/nucleus".
