There is no word in Russian for "commuter" as a person. For commuter train - maybe, "пригородный поезд" - can be roughly translated as "near-city train", but for commuter as a type of passenger there is not a word. No short translation for "to commute" either. It's interesting because commuters who have to commute exist here.

welclome back fren. Where did you travel to?

Go back to Reddit

I won't. What are you going to do about it?

Welcome back, Bernd.

nya?

How was it? Tell us your experiences.

 

Will call them "ingázó". Inga = pendulum. From inog = wobble, sway; not from the female given name.

Interesting... Can't even think of a Russian slang for commuters. When addressing this, people would usually say "Bernd goes from X to Y every morning", or "Bernd rides the the suburban train every day", which is a much heavier construct than just saying "I commute".

 

Intriguingly huge linguistic gap for a thing so mundane and common.

Commuting is a new, contemporary thing. In state-socialism it wasn't much of a phenomenon, they rather built massive amounts of commieblocks to keep workers close to factories, and then people were employed at the same company in their 40 years of career.

Perhaps the upcoming years will come up with a term in Russia too. It's not late.

In fact why not coming up with a term, similarly how we did with the pendulum, just with whatever you like and spread it.

We don't either on clobenia. But we have a phrase for commuter settlements: spalna naselja. Because the only thing you do there is to sleep.

Settis are same's here with "spalny rayon" consisting of commieblocks.

 

It wasn't all that unusual with the USSR, in large cities like Moscow or Leningrad the morning suburban train ride to wrok wasn't very uncommon.

It's a noble quest you are proposing...
