Usage Notes:

"Регистрация" directly corresponds to the English "registration" in most contexts, but it's primarily used in formal or official settings in Russian. English speakers should note that Russian requires proper noun inflections based on case (e.g., use the genitive for possession: "регистрации автомобиля"). It's neutral in terms of register but leans formal; avoid in casual conversations. When choosing between synonyms like "запись," opt for "регистрация" if the context involves official documentation for accuracy.

Common Errors:

• Error: Using the nominative form in all cases, e.g., saying "Я проверил регистрация" instead of "Я проверил регистрацию" (accusative case needed after verbs like "проверить").

  Correct: Я проверил регистрацию. (I checked the registration.) Explanation: Russian nouns change based on grammatical case; ignoring this can lead to grammatical errors.

• Error: Confusing with "запись," leading to misuse in formal contexts, e.g., "Онлайн-запись для конференции" when "регистрация" is more precise for official events.

  Correct: Онлайн-регистрация для конференции. (Online registration for the conference.) Explanation: "Запись" is better for informal sign-ups, while "регистрация" denotes a more structured process.

Cultural Notes:

In Russia, "регистрация" often ties into bureaucratic processes, such as registering residency (propiska) or vehicles with authorities like the GIBDD. This reflects a cultural emphasis on official documentation, stemming from Soviet-era administrative systems, which can feel overwhelming to foreigners but is essential for daily life like obtaining services or travel.
