Thank you, but the problem is I can't read those words. What are they with a Latin alphabet without translation? Google Translate translates the words into English.
Theyre names so the latin alphabet form would be the translation, more or less.
Пятницкiй, Скиталецъ, М. Горький, Найденовъ, Л. Андреев, Шаляпинъ, Бунинъ, Телешевъ, Чирико
Would be...
Pyatnitsky, Skitalets, M. Horky (possibly gorky?), Naydenov, L. Andreev, Shalyapin, Bunin, Teleshev, Chiriko.
(Note, im a native english speaker studing to speak Ukrainian)
Thank you, that's what I was hoping for!
I speak Russian at a native level, but that's an archaic pre-revolution orthography that I'm not 100% sure about. But I'm 99% sure that most of those transliterations are correct. Except Gorky. In Ukrainian Г makes a rough H sound, while in Russian it's G, as in "good".
And a bonus fun fact for you, горький (gorky) means "bitter".
Thanks!
Also, definitely Gorky. He's the most famous.
You can use ChatGPT for that! Here's what it spit out when I asked it to romanize the names and write them inline.
Пятницкiй (Pyatnitsky), Скиталецъ (Skitalets), М. Горький (M. Gorky), Найденовъ (Naydenov), Л. Андреев (L. Andreev), Шаляпинъ (Shalyapin), Бунинъ (Bunin), Телешевъ (Teleshev), Чирико (Chiriko)
E: Apparently, it can also read the names on the picture! Just copy and paste it into the chat.
