Spartak... Nadsat does mean "teen" in Russian. I took russian language course for seven years, it would be easier to explane this if russian language used english letters, but it does not. Anyway, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, etc... is pronounced: odeeNADSAT, dveNADSAT, treNADSAT, cheteerNADSAT, pitNADSAT, shastNADSAT. Since I can't type cyrilic, these are just my best guess of how to spell these numbers, but you get the point...
