How do you say white Russian in Russian?

There are a few ways to say "White Russian" in Russian, depending on the context:

1. Белый русский (Belyy russkiy): This is the most direct translation and refers to a person from Belarus (formerly called White Russia).

2. Белая Русь (Belaya Rus'): This refers to Belarus as a country or region, but it's less common in everyday speech.

3. Белорус (Belorus): This is the most common way to refer to a person from Belarus.

4. Белоруссия (Belorussiya): This is the old name for Belarus, still sometimes used.

5. "Белый русский" (Belyy russkiy) can also refer to the cocktail: This is less common, as the cocktail is usually called simply "белый коктейль" (belyy kokteyl) or "белый" (belyy) for short.

Here's a breakdown with examples:

* "Я из Белоруссии" (Ya iz Belorussii): "I am from Belarus."

* "Он белорус" (On belorus): "He is Belarusian."

* "Хотите белый коктейль?" (Hotite belyy kokteyl?): "Would you like a White Russian?"

* "Это белый русский?" (Eto belyy russkiy?): "Is this a White Russian?"

It's important to note that the term "White Russian" can be considered offensive in some contexts, particularly in Belarus itself, as it can evoke historical associations with the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic. It's best to use more neutral terms like "Belarusian" or "from Belarus" when referring to people or things from Belarus.
