Word "Bolshoi"
Bolshoi website says: “Bolshoi” is the Russian word for “great” or “grand”. Well, that's not true. I presume the person who wrote that phrase of the website doesn't know Russian language. I do. "Bolshoi" means "big", not "great". "Great" would be "Velikiy". 209.132.186.34 (talk) 10:27, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * In English, big, great and grand are synonyms. What is the difference in meaning between bolshoi and velikiy? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 20:20, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Concerning Russian grammar, "bolshoi" here looks a bit strange, because it's of masculine gender, while "simulation" in Russian would be "modelirovanniye" (lit. "modelling") of neuter gender. So "bolshoi modelirovanniye" is grammatically incorrect, "bolshoye modelirovanniye" is correct. As of meaning nuances "bolshoi" is ok here. E.g. "bolshoye delo" is close in meaning to "big deal", "bolshaya rabota" (lit. "big work/job") means great raw volume of work or its hardness in some sense, while "velikaya rabota" would mean an outstanding result obtained or a piece of true art, opus magna. 178.46.91.236 (talk) 20:21, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
