Sure, we don't even exist.
If you had read some of the other posts, you would have seen that the person who told me that the Russians have no word for fun in the American sense of the word was a professor from Moscow University, who started studying English in her native city (Moska) when she was eight years old. She has lived in the US for at least 12 years and teaches Russian to American College students. I have since checked with a linguist friend of mine and the two words put forth by other Russians don't have the same idea of 'fun' in the American sense. I'm sure there are plenty of Russian words that will not translate into English because they are unique to the Russian experience. I'm sorry that my attempt at humor fell so flat. I guess cross-cultural humor is difficult if not impossible.
