I know, I know. It's terrible. There's probably 40 different ways of pronouncing that.
But I found out that you can influence taxi prices by changing where you put stress on the word. For example:
- te[re]schenkovskaya will cost you $5
- where tereschen[kov]skaya will cost $7
- a cab ride will cost you $10 if you are foolish enough to say tere[schen]kovskaya
The locals, of course, just say tereszzkay = they pay $3 (sometimes $2)
