russkayatatu, wow! Great job! You surprise me, my congrats to you. For someone that is not Slavic- WOW- ...speachless, lol
So, did you only study Russian, or other Slavic languages as well?
By the way- did you pick the words out just listening to them, or reading, because if it is just listening- I am even more surprised

In Bulgarian: льжи = lazhi / luzhi 'that vowel' = lie

freddie, we can also say hruskam, it is a synonym of hrupkam I guess we use one or the other depending on what you're talking about- for chips as you said, we will use hrupkam, but for pretzels- we call those soleti- how about you?- we will say hruskavi soleti

edit: while we are on food, I just listened to this Russian kids song, from catroons when I was little, and in it they say:

'S dniom Rozhdenya pozdravit
I naverno ostavit
Mne v podarok piatsot Eskimo '

Translated in Bulgarian:

'Za rozhdeniya den shte me pozdravi
I naverno shte ostavi
Na men v podarak petstotin Eskimo'

English:

'Will wish me Happy Birthday
And probably give
Me as presant -500 Eskimo'

that made me remember- Eskimo is an awsome kind of ice-cream we used to have when I was little. So we call ice-cream: sladoled which comes from sladko = 'sweet' and led = ice, so literally 'sweet-ice'

oh... o!
