What does DACHA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A country house or cottage in Russia, typically used as a seasonal or weekend retreat away from the city.
A dacha usually sits outside a Russian city, often in a cluster of similar houses along a lake, forest, or rural road, giving urban families a place to relax, garden, and escape the heat of summer. Many families use their dacha not just for leisure but for growing vegetables and fruit, a practice that became especially important during periods of food shortage in Russian history. Dachas range enormously in size and comfort, from modest wooden cabins with no running water to substantial modern houses, but all share the same basic role as a retreat from city life. The word has entered English mainly through travel writing and reporting on Russian culture and politics.
