What's the influence of English on modern Russian?
What I'm interested in is replacement of Russian words by English ones, like "boyfriend",rather than introducingg new concepts.Can you give me more examples of English words replacing Russian ones-like boyfriend,please?Интересно,спасибо. Я нашла три новые слова,читая комментари : оффтопик, эксклузив и сайт. В польском языке-'site' это 'strona',но 'роst' это тоже 'post' .
Мы говорим "płyta DVD",что обозначает мы дублируем слово "disk" как и вы.Thanks for the examples.I actually found three more: оффтопик, эксклузив and сайт. In Polish, "site" is "strona",but for instance "post" has no Polish equivalent.Olga mentioned redundancy in" DVD disk", and a similar process happens in Polish except we use the Polish woord for disk,which is "płyta".

Answer

Maybe "Флэшка", means flash drive. Or "Геймер" - gamer, player. And other words from the computer topics.

Answer

Да. На самом деле, в современном русском языке употребляется очень много англицизмов. И их с каждым годом становится все больше и больше. Я думаю, что лет через 100 настоящий русский язык можно будет услышать только в специальных лингвистических институтах. Надеюсь, я ошибаюсь...

Answer

We also borrow some  ways to create word forms . A funny word  читабельный just came to my mind:) It's like the English "readable" :)

Answer

A particular little instance of such influence that I find rather odd but curious is using Latin spelling for words (mostly abbreviations) that the Russian language has borrowed from English. We write DVD and CD , SPA and some other words in English inside Russian texts. Also there's a curious redundancy in usage of these words. We say DVD- диски and CD- диски, as if the speakers are not aware that the letter "D" in the abbreviation stands for "disk".

Answer

I wouldn't say this influence is very strong.
