Similar problems transcribing a "B" = "v" or "w". "Ж" is always a "sch" in German because of the very similar pronunciation. Same reason for German "ch", therefore "Sacharnaja".
For the pepper-shaped, please have a look at the original packet:

Is it possible that the different names for apparently the same variety is caused by the difference between Russian and Ukrainian language?
Andrey, you are the native speaker/writer, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks a lot for me avoiding future mistakes! clara |
Thank you, Clara. That is very interesting. You see, growing tomatoes is good for one's language skills too!
