[Slivkin, Yevgeniy A.]

Thank you Tatyana. Of course, baton vs. bulka and pod'ezd vs. paradnoe. How could I forget!

Regards,

Yevgeny

Hello,
Generally, people say it's bordiur in Moscow, hence the joke which I encountered several times:
Gde-to v raione Bologogo est' mesto, gde bordiur plavno perekhodit v porebrik.
Other examples:
Bulka in St. Petersburg and baton in Moscow (baton belogo). Paradnoe in SPb, pod'ezd in Moscow.
Regards,
Tatyana

> Dear All,
> Could any one give me a few examples of the differences between Russian spoken in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Differences such as phrasing (not phonetics). As far as I remember in Moscow people say десятый автобус, пятый автобус (desiatyi avtobus, piatyi avtobus), in Petersburg - десятка автобуса, пятерка автобуса (desiatka avtobusa, piaterka avtobusa); In Moscow a curb is called бровка( brovka), in Petersburg - поребрик (porebrik). Anything else?
