Tips to remember:
• Think of the sound “re-BYOH-nok” as having a distinctive “yo” sound in the middle that you can associate with a joyful, playful child.
• Imagine a picture of a child saying “yo!” to help recall the middle syllable.

Explanations:
• Ребёнок (rebyonok) is a masculine noun meaning “child” in Russian. Despite its masculine grammatical gender, it refers to both boys and girls.
• It follows typical Russian noun declension patterns in the singular and plural (дети for “children”).

Other words that mean the same thing:
• Малыш (malysh) – an informal term for a young child or baby.
• Дитя (dit'ya) – a more poetic or formal term for a child.
• Малышка (malyshka) – often used specifically for a little girl.

Alternate meanings and slang:
• In informal contexts, ребёнок (rebyonok) can sometimes be used metaphorically to refer to someone who is inexperienced or immature.
• There isn’t a widely recognized slang meaning that drastically differs from “child,” but context can give it a playful tone.
