"Скільки коштує ця сметана?"

Translation: How much does this sour cream cost?

[Muggamycen]

Smetana is not simply sour cream, it is a specifically Eastern European product

It exists as a word in English too and should be accepted as a correct translation

[daniel.joh5]

Can't you say smetana in english? Does it have to be sour cream?

[Muggamycen]

When chatting with my Ukrainian friend (in English) we always call сметана "smetana" and never call бутерброд a "sandwich". These are specifically Eastern European products which don't directly correspond to sour cream and sandwiches.

I wrote "smetana" but it's marked wrong. It's a mistake. Perhaps they'll also insist that we invent an English word for водка. Maybe they could start by using a proper Slavic word for вебдизайн.
