How can you use “mertvago” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

As a once occasional translator of Russian, I am overpowered by an itch to comment on Emanuel Strauss”s review of Peter Mertvago's Comparative Russian-English Dictionary of Russian Proverbs & Sayings [XXIII,3].
Mertvago also deals with the difference between a proverb and a saying.
The Russian text (in Cyrillic) is followed by a literal translation in English, unless there is a clear English equivalent, by which Mertvago means both lexical and conceptual correspondence.
The statement that Generally speaking, the Russians make greater use of proverbs than the Americans or the British is doubtless true, with the consequence that the careful attention given Mertvago's compilation is quite justified.
To sum up, this is a comparative dictionary with a number of useful features, as if Mertvago wanted to fill in gaps existing in other dictionaries.
