## Pannonian Rusyn
### Etymology

Borrowed from Serbo-Croatian струја / struja, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *struja. By surface analysis, deverbal from струяц (strujac).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: [ˈstruja]
* Rhymes: -uja
* Hyphenation: струя

### Noun

струя (struja) f (related adjective струйни or струйов)
* (river) stream, flow
    Synonym: цек (cek)
* jet, blast, spurt, gush (of fluid)
* (chiefly of electricity) current, efflux, flow
    зменююца струя ― zmenjujuca struja ― alternating current
    електрична струя ― električna struja ― electric current
* (by extension, generally uncountable) (electrical) power
    людзе жили без струї аж по двацети вик ― ljudze žili bez struji až po dvaceti vik ― people lived without power all the way up to the twentieth century

#### Usage notes

* Like in Serbo-Croatian, the general concept of electrical power is expressed using струя (struja), while електрицитет (elektricitet) is a more specialized term used in scientific and engineering contexts. This is different to in other Slavic languages, which tend to use the word for "electricity" for both electricity itself and electrical power, like in English for the most part.
