The suffix "grad" in Russian city names like "Leningrad" and "Stalingrad" comes from the Old East Slavic word "градъ" (grad) which means "city" or "town." In the modern Russian language, "город" (gorod) is the term for "city." The use of "grad" in city names is a historical and traditional feature.
Yeah and where does the grad come from. Not from grad school right?
Leningrad
Stalingrad
From back in the day when there was still hope
Ohhhhhh that makes more sense
I'm the same person this is just my alt
Imagine naming a city "Washington" :disgost:
Is grad Russian for town?
If you trust gpt4 enough then it answered yes:
So it's basically the same as English -ton. Lemmyton doesn't have the same ring to it though
Lemmyville
So basically the same as Danish -by
it is a pun on Leningrad (City of Lenin) because is a communist instance
I think it is "city" in russian, like in Leningrad.
