10,000 most common Russian words
Ranked by how often each word turns up in everyday Russian, with its meaning in English.
Russian nouns and adjectives change shape across six cases, so one dictionary word can appear here several times over. There is no equivalent of "the" or "a" — which is part of why the pronouns and prepositions sit so near the top.
