Usage notes

• Russian "pirozhki" (???????? (pirožkí)) and "pirogi" (singular "pirog", Russian ??????? (pirogí)) and Polish pierogi (diminutive: "piero?ki") (dumplings) are often confused. The two dishes are quite different. See pelmeni for the Russian version of the Polish pierogi. In certain regions of Ukraine, these terms (???????, ????????) may refer to either the Polish "pierogi" or the Russian "pirozhki".

Synonyms

• varenyky/vareniki (plural)
