peer agreement (net): +2боец (Boyetz) - Russian for "fighter, combatant or militant" Explanation: At first I thought this was boychick too, but then I was puzzled as to why it wasn't בויץיקים. However, I then realised it could be (boyetzim) - "boyetz" - Russian for "fighter, combatant, or militant". http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Боец I then found this (http://www.doomedsoldiers.com/not-only-katyn-the-roundup-beg... which seems to verify my finding: "“I would like to speak to the commanding officer as my brother is here”. One of the ‘Boytsy' replied that there is nobody in there. The other one, a higher-ranking ‘Boyetz’ pulled her to the side and said, "[Listen] child, remember there is nobody here..." and... "Our liberators were not called soldiers (soldaty), but fighters (boytsy). At the sight of them, mother said that we should not worry about the Fonies (Yiddish nickname for Russians) coming in carts and trucks..." http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/volozhin/vol527.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2012-02-13 08:32:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just for clarification: Boytsy (бойцы) PLURAL - fighters Boyetz (боец) SINGULAR - fighter -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2012-02-13 08:33:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/боец#Russian -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2012-02-13 08:37:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops...Sorry for the typo in the first line |
