Pelmeni (пельмени) sometimes becomes pelmenis, but like with pierogi I usually see the plural form without the `s` in English (in America at least).
I think "blintzes" too, from Yiddish `blintse` by way of Slavic.
- mananaysiempre 2y agoFunnily enough, בלינצעס blintses seems to be the native Yiddish plural, but if I’m to believe Wiktionary the English singular is blintz so might be a back-formation from it, because the Yiddish singular is בלינצע blintse.
