रूस (roos)

noun The country name Russia. A single proper-noun sense; no verb or adjective uses.
Sense 1 : Russia (the country)
noun, masculine
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: रूस (roos) is a everyday geography word that shows up often in news, history, and school textbooks in India, given the long-standing Indo-Soviet and Indo-Russian relationship. You will hear it constantly in discussions of the Cold War era, defense deals, or the war in Ukraine on Hindi news channels.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes add an extra vowel sound and say "रूस्या" or similar under influence of English -- the Hindi form is just रूस (roos), two syllables. 2) The adjective/demonym "Russian" is रूसी (roosii), not रूस (roos) itself -- do not use the country name where the adjective is needed, as in रूसी भाषा (roosii bhaashaa, 'the Russian language').
