Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a researcher at the University of Oxford writing a book on the economics of tips and tipping (gratuity). I am currently compiling an appendix on country terms for tip.
Example:
Finland
juomarahaa
from juoma drink and rahaa money
France
un pourboire
from pour for and boire to drink
Germany
Trinkgeld
from trinken to drink and Geld money
Please can you tell me the Byelorussian word for tip, along with the words that construct it, as shown in the example.
Thank-you,
M Starbuck

зрџтћџ (chayavYya)
In fact, it's a carbon copy of Russian "їрхтћх", but the only usable version. The dictionaries give "урёќіГэхі" (hastsInets), too, but it's not used.
зрџтћџ means "for tea".
