Welcome to the Russian-Latin Medical Dictionary! This section is your primary tool for accurate translation of anatomical, clinical, and pharmaceutical terms from Russian into Latin.
The reference book is divided into logical alphabetical blocks: from "A, B" to "Ch, Sh, Shch, E, Yu, Ya". A separate introductory topic is dedicated to grammar and abbreviations, without which it is impossible to properly understand a dictionary entry and write a prescription.
During practical classes, instructors always require indicating the full dictionary form of nouns and adjectives (genitive ending, gender, stem). Our dictionary takes all these requirements into account. Use the section materials to quickly find the necessary equivalents, avoid agreement errors, and pass medical terminology tests with confidence.
Gender is always indicated by a single letter after the word itself and the genitive ending: m (masculine), f (feminine), or n (neuter).
