When you tell me who this is.

>>2147 it's Dostojevski

>>2159 Do Finns write "Dostojevski"?

>>2159 >When you tell me who this is.

>>2163 Why wouldn't we

>>2163 Scientific transliteration is best.

Shouldn't it be something like DOCTOËBCKNŇ

>>2194 It's an Е (je) not Ë (jo). Russian government would transliterate it as Dostoevsky in a passport. The academic transliteration would be Dostojevskij.

>>2195 I don't think the academic transliteration uses j, as it's a super ambiguous letter (Spanish kh sound, French voiced dsh sound, German i-sound). IIRC, the scientific transliteration simply uses e. English non-scientific uses ye, German non-scientific uses je.

>>2190 No, the correct laddin' transliterationis the beat: Dostojevski

>>2198 And why not Doßtojewskie?

In German I prefer Dostojewski, although most publishers use Dostojewskij nowadays.

You can't have a j at the end of a syllable Make it Dostojevskii if you're going to be like that
