Noun
принц • (princ) m anim (genitive при́нца, nominative plural при́нцы, genitive plural при́нцев, feminine принце́сса)

Usage notes
- The words князь (knjazʹ) and принц (princ) both translate to “prince”, but have distinct usages in Russian:
- принц (princ) in most cases refers to a son or other male family member of a king or non-Russian emperor; the word is strongly associated with a Western European, non-Russian context.
- князь (knjazʹ) refers to the ruler of a principality or the holder of a princely title.
- Russian usually uses the term царь (carʹ, “tsar”) for ancient and non-European monarchs who in English would be called kings; the son of such a monarch would be a царе́вич (carévič, “tsarevich”), not принц (princ).
