“Coffee” and “tea” (chai) are obvious enough, but then we have “polo”, which sounds like it links to Russian “plov” and from there, to French/Italian “pilaff”.

“Yä” — “yest” (Russian) — “essen” (German) — “eat”

“Män”—”man”—”I”

“Siz”—”Sie” (German)—”You”

“Bar”—”be”

“Aptobus”—”avtobus” (Russian)—”autobus”—”bus”

This is all guesswork… but could be useful as a mnemonic.

Good luck in any case!
