How do you say north, south, east and west in Russian? Keep watching. North, sevyr, south, yug, west, zapad, east, vastok. So to say in the north, in the south, et cetera, in Russian we actually use a preposition na. So literally we say on the north or on the south. And of course we use the prepositional case after na because it expresses location. So in the north is na sevyr. In the south, na yug, in the west, na zapad, in the east, na vastok. So let's test your U.S. geography. I'm gonna give you a U.S. state and you'll tell me whether it's na yug, na sevyr, na zapad, or na vastok, sysa. And I'll be counting to three each time, so try to beat me. Tihas. Na yug, California. Na zapad, virgina. Na vastok, minisota. Na sevyr.
