I would agree with you. There’s a regional difference I was born in Lvov Ukraine so I speak a more Ukrainian Russian. But I would venture to say that палас would be a more accurate word over all.
Yeah, Google Translate also translates carpet as “ковер” instead of the proper spelling (ковёр), and it actually does translate “carpet mold” as “ковер плесень” (instead of a more proper translation like “ковровая плесень” or “плесень в ковре”).
Eh, both are proper spelling, I don’t think any Russian manual said it’s mandatory. The ë is used mainly in dictionaries, Russian schoolbooks, etc. where ambiguity should be minimal.
It’s also used by people who respect the language and don’t want to see it gradually turn into a shitshow like English where it’s spelled ‘Manchester’, pronounced ‘Liverpool’.
ковер плесень means “carpet mold”
Well rug… Not carpet. And it’s literally saying the carpet is the mold. So it would better translate to rug-mold.
“Ковёр” is closer to “carpet” I’d argue. I’d translate “rug” as “коврик”

The carpet is the mold, what a brilliant idea!
Weird name for a space movie.
It’s probably google translated to Russian, since it’s just two nouns slapped together.

I’d say it’s 99% google translate

Fair enough. I tend to use it because it just reduces scanning ambiguity when reading text quickly.
Ah just like me babushka used to make
