Learn the sounds animals make in Russian! (VIDEO)

What do Russian cats say instead of 'meow'? And how Russian dogs bark? The most Russian American has raised his kids in Russia with these sounds! And he reveals some to you in this video...!

Did you know that even animals speak differently in Russia?

  • Dogs don’t go ‘woof’ – they say гав гав in Russian
  • Cats don’t ‘Meow!’ - they say мяу мяу and they answer to “кис кис” (which doesn’t mean kisses btw)
  • Pigs go хрю-хрю which is why a piggy would be a хрюшка
  • Geese go га-га and not honk, which is just silly.
  • Frogs don’t go ‘Ribbit’ – they say ква-ква
  • Ducks don’t quack they go Кря which sounds like a move in taekwondo.
  • Donkey don’t say hee-haw but Иa… 
  • Roosters go ‘Cock-a-doodle-doo!’ No! It’s кукареку!
  • Crow says not ‘caw’, but кар!
