Tips

usage
Almost never a complete name on its own. 奈斯基 typically forms the tail of longer Slavic surnames (e.g. 柴可夫斯基 'Tchaikovsky', 陀思妥耶夫斯基 'Dostoyevsky'). The 斯基 ending is the standard PRC rendering of '-sky/-ski'.
memory
Sound-by-sound: ('to bear/endure', purely transliteration) for 'ne-', ('this') for '-s-', ('foundation') for '-ki/-ky'. Spot 斯基 at the end of any name and you can almost guarantee it's Polish or Russian.
