Hello! That is very interesting...I am also a member of the Nissan Note forum and we have many Russian members who change their boot badges to read 'ENOT' which apparently is the word for RACCOON...if you join their official club you get a raccoon sticker for the bootlid!By the way, I am assuming that you mean KOSHKA...yes it does sound a bit like QashQai. I always thought the Russian word for cat was SKOTINA but that must mean cats of both sexes.

Now it's easy to find. My QashQai was lost somewhere behind [quote="Dan"]]Hi and welcome to the club [/QUOTE]]Thank you, Dan! [quote="SneakyElephant"]]change their boot badges to read 'ENOT' which apparently is the word for RACCOON...By the way, I am assuming that you mean KOSHKA...yes it does sound a bit like QashQai.[/QUOTE]]Exactly! We give to cars consonant Russian affectionate names.Nissan-Teana - we call Tanya (girl's name)Nissan-Murano - we call Murena (sea fish - Moray)Nissan-Note - we call Enot (Raccoon)Nissan-Qashqai - we call Koshka (girl cat)[quote="SneakyElephant"]]I always thought the Russian word for cat was SKOTINA but that must mean cats of both sexes.[/QUOTE]]Not exactly. The word SKOTINA has a 3 values.1. Main. Livestock meat which is suitable for food.2. Comic. Domestic cats and dogs (as you said).3. Abusive. The man who behaves like a beast.
