While in Russia over the Christmas Holidays visiting for the THIRD time, our guy, who speaks VERY well for 2.5 would say a few things we couldn't figure out. He would pinch his older brother and say "Beuna"....come to find out is means "Hurt?" as in "am I hurting you?" He would also run around saying "Agoya Nada", which I guess, loosely translated, means "Time for fun"...

I am Russian and unfortunately the pronunciation of the phrases is incorrect. In some cases the child will still understand you, but some of the phrases I would have never understood being a native speaker. I encourage future parents to do more search in the internet. There are some web sites where you can put a phrase in English and the computer will give you the phrase in Russia (and the audio will play the phrase to you). I have no time to search for it now,but in general - do not rely on one source of information only.
