  • What animal makes the sound zh-zh-zh?

  • The пчела (bee) goes ж-ж-ж

    (plural пчёлы)

    That is, пчёлы жужжа�?т.

  • ЖУЖЖ�?ТЬ, mebbe.

  • Didn't they teach you to conjugate your verbs down under, o floppy-eared one? ЖУЖЖ�?ТЬ is the infinitive; if there are multiple bees all just ж-ж-ж-ing along in harmony, the third person plural form is called for.

  • You have a point. I was distracted by the sound of a fox stuck in the spokes of my front wheel, which makes the noise zh-zh-zh every round of the pedals.

  • Cheeky buggins! Back to your burrow, lest I should be tempted to gogh all van Gogh on those ridonculous aural appendages of yours.

  • As sionnach says, bees make the zh sound: Пчелы жужжат. (No need for word accents in Russian.)

    And speaking of "cheeky buggins," I just realized that the letter ж does look a bit (to my warped imagination) like the cheeks of a derriere. Which is appropriate, considering that the Russian word for "ass/arse" is жопа (zhopa)!

    But I'd better stop here.

    *Sticks foxy tongue out at bilby. Neener, neener!*
