There's also a couple things I don't have the slightest idea how to spell (so I'm just going to try to spell phonetically), and I'm not sure they're even Russian, but I know it's some sort of eastern-european language, I think Czech: "Yuck she mush" "Dovja". (My great-grandfather was Czech (IIRC) and taught my brother, sister and I that way back when he was still around.)


Answering here as no valid email is given.

The first means in Czech language "Jak se máš?" (How are you? or Howdy?),
pronounced e.g. here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQBsqWT90IU
and the second possibly  "Dobře" (Good or Well, as in 'Good, I'll do it').

And one little thing: the Czech Republic is part of the Central Europe.
Saying it belongs to the Eastern Europe is a reliable way to upset
the Czechs, for rather complex historical reasons.
