russian word of the day

"зонт" (pronounced 'zont') - umbrella. 

i like it because the word resembles the sound an umbrella makes when you open it.

(this is my effort to expand my vocabulary besides partaking in my usual my russian lessons.  i'll try to add more words, maybe not every day, but some.  you'll be able to search under the category of "порусски" (russian) if you want to see more in the future.)
