Brush in Russian 🇷🇺

щетка info.

Tips to remember the Russian word:
– Associate the sound "щет" in "щетка" ("shchetka") with the bristles of a brush which could remind you of the repetitive brushing motion.
– Break the word into two parts: "щет" (shchet) sounds similar to "shut" in English, and "ка" (ka) often appears as a suffix in many Russian feminine nouns. This association might help in remembering the structure of the word.

Explanations:
– "Щетка" (shchetka) is a feminine noun in Russian and is used to refer to any type of brush, whether for cleaning, grooming, or painting.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– Кисть (kist') – used for a painter's brush
– Метла (metla) – used for broom, but can sometimes be confused as a type of brush for sweeping

Alternate meanings like slang:
