That's funny, it's one of the first words they teach you in Russian class, along with, "would you like a cigarette?" and "Where's the bathroom?"

English and Spanish to the top, and basics from a handful of languages [pure survival skills from my backpacker years]
Currently learning Finnish seriously and in a sistematic fashion.
Once I have a decent Finnish (in 2 years I expect) I will start
with Swedish, also Finland's official language.

Originally posted by c99uxWell, I guess it would be more correct to say that they have a sound which sometimes sounds more like 'r', sometimes more like 'l'. But it's most commonly transcribed as 'r', although I have seen the spelling 'Liliko' instead of 'Ririko' (it does sound more like 'Liliko'😉.
