Dude, you RULE! I love that feeling watching your videos and suddenly the lights go on and you cross reference something else and your brain goes 'aaaah' and you can can start intuiting this stuff instead of memorising it!
Bc russian word is complex: it has prefix + root + suffix + ending. And you can change them to create other words with the same root. Something you cannot do in english, where you need to do additional words to translate the same meaning. So yes, russian words are generally longer.
Im from Chicago. I spent 4 years in a Colombian prison, where I learned to speak Spanish to an advanced level. No choice. I live in Ukraine now. Can you recommend a crime that I can commit that would only give me maybe 2-3 years so I can become conversational in Russian?
Ha, how about just going to bars and meeting beautiful Russian women? Of course you have to have a job while going to the bars...but you know,you might end up in solitary confinement....with no textbooks..
No! LOL, no job! I'm a retired cocaine trafficker. Paid my debt. I'm done. If Ukraine prisons are anything like Colombian prisons, which Im told theyre even better, textbooks should be NO problem. As an example, I had a fridge in my cell with beer!! Laptop with internet! We could order any food to be delivered as long as we bought for the duty officer also.
Jeffrey! lol,So it is interesting to me that you are in Ukraine. I wanted to go there but that was right when our friends kto the East decided to stir up some mischief. So roughly at that time I was overhead on my way to Iran, but in the safety of Aeroflot lol.When I returned again I think the route took me over the borders on the way to Moscow. well, since then I have studied online and on vacations to Vladivostok in Siberia. Very cheap, Cold, but the plain vanilla kind of language study product.
russian will be my 7th language .... Being an indian i knew hindi and panjabi as my local languages .... was taught in english ...... learnt spanish , french and german out of curiousity ..... now trying to learn russian ..... This is by far the smoothest experience i ever had while learning a new language ..... good work
I like when you say: don't stress about it! hahah because it's very hard for me to notice the difference in the sound. but I'll make sure my writing is correct! thank you very much for sharing your knowledge :) Hugs from Brazil
Thank you Fedor for providing such great informational videos! I recently started taking on Russian again and watching your videos is not only helpful for me to learn, but also helpful to keep me motivated! Keep it up :)
I've been learning Russian for 6 weeks only. I told a girl here that I will learn Russian. Her response? She laughed in my face and said "you cant LEARN Russian. You have to grow up with it. This isn't Spanish!" ...............starting to believe her.......
Learning Spanish is definitely a walk in the park on a sunny day compared to Russian. However, she's dead wrong. You can teach yourself any language as long as you keep at it.
You are so handsome!!! So motivating. Awesome teaching skills. I take russian at the university level and this is a great supplemental form of learning.
Omg! I’m from korea and i really like your all kinds of videos ! It’s all useful video :) you’re my Russian teacher ! Haha Really thank you sooo much !
the only guy who actually knows how to teach this stuff I have only one observation. it would be nice if you devote more time on teaching us pronunciation
First of all thanks a lot for the video :) But I'm confuse about the 3rd part: Person. You explained them like I like him,them,you etc. Aren't those supposed to be like (in order) I like me, You like me, He-She-It likes me, We like me, You like me, They like me?? Means I'm liked by you,they,we etc... Thanks a lot again. Nice video ))
No. The sentence "Ты мне нравишься", for example, means "I like you". But literally, it translates as "You, to me, are appealing." That's the structure for liking something in Russian: "X, to Y, is appealing."
4:56 I am learning japanese along side russian (I know I should probably do one at a time but I dont care lol) but и makes the same sound as い so when you said и and it didnt connect all the way when you were righting i got really confused for a second xD by the way I just found your channel and instantly subscribed i love how interactive your channel is and its nice to listen to somebody talking about different rules and stuff instead of reading them. Спасибо!
You really offer very good explanations - btw, in Spanish, "I like" is treated the same way as in Russian (a mi, -мне- me gusta - I like ---) I have checked out several other Russian teachers, and so far, I think you are the best (a few flubs in your English, but nobody is perfect). I like especially the depth of going into meanings and proper uses of words - and also, explaning while you go along, the grammatical rule that applies. (My native tongue is German, as complex as Russian :-) )
I studied Russian intensively for a year, and this is still somewhat confusing. What's missing for me with this method is classroom practice, interaction, and testing. I do like your style how you break concepts into small chunks. I will keep watching and look for some other sites to round out my review. спасибо большое
I understood the "Мне нравится" structure to talk about people, but I didn't quite get how to use the "Мне нужно" structure. Ok, if I want to say "I need you", and you're a boy, I say "Ты мне нужен", the same if you're a girl (Ты мне нужна). However... 1 - What if I want to say "I need me"? Do I use the same structure, depending on the gender of the speaker? "Я мне нужен" if I'm a man, and "Я мне нужна" if I'm a woman? 2 - And what about the plural forms? Is it always "Мы/Вы/Они мне нужны"?
1 - Я себе нужен- masculine Я себе нужна- feminine. or Я нужен самому себе Я нужна самой себе. (I am needed to my own self) Here, we kind of refer to ourselves as a 3rd person. 2 - Correct!
I have a question. The way the verbs "to need" and "to like" in Russian function similar to that of Italian, but my question is where do the indirect objects go in a phrase? For example: Mi piace la pizza Mi piace mangiare Within the examples, "mi" is the indirect object pronoun which really means "to me". "Piace" is conjugated in the third person singular coming from the verbs "piacere" which is an irregular verb that also carries the true meaning of "to be pleasing to". Then of course Italian and Russian work the same when there are 2 verbs, one is conjugated while the other is in infinitive form. Another important grammatical feature is that the "mi" and any other indirect object pronoun goes before the conjugated verb meaning that it should always be "mi piace" and never "piace mi". Even though I just gave a very long explanation, does Russian do the same or the reverse of it? Thank you so much for your content, I never thought I'd be interested in Russian or even learning it. I hope I don't confuse you. With that all being said, I hope that you have an amazing day or night!!!! Ciao, ciao🇮🇹
Nouns ending with ы are either plural, for ex. мосты, женщины, so you can figure out the gender if you know the singular form; or singular in genitive or accusative case so you can figure out the gender if you know the nominative case of the noun, for ex. тишины ('silence' in genitive, singular only) is feminine. Nouns in nominative case which end with ю are mostly the loan words like меню, фондю, рэндзю, they typically have neuter gender and are non-declining. But the ю ending is also has many different variations depending on cases: семью ('family' in singular accusative) is feminine, ферзю ('the chess Queen' in singular dative) is masculine, зверью (animals collective, see the ё-ending nouns below, in dative case, singular only) is neuter. Nouns enging with и are mostly similar to the ы-ending ones (either plural or singular genitive/accusative) except for a few loan words like леди, селфи etc., non-declining, the gender varies. Nouns ending with ё are typically collective nouns, singular only, and neuter, for ex. зверьё, враньё, бельё.
Hey фёдор! Thank you so much for your tips- how do you say, on the other hand, "you need" instead of "I need"? I understand мне is only for pronoun me/I
I sent a different question to your Facebook fan page, but I have another question and I’m wondering maybe here is better to ask you- if you say “I like you, I love this, or I need that” there must be an opposite yes? So do the phrases and words stay the same while just adding не to the phrase? «Ты мне не нравится?» « Я не люблю вас?» « Я не нужно есть»? Большое спасибо for your time in reading and answering my questions! I really enjoy the videos and watch them almost daily.
Another point, You are doing a good job, good presence, good speaking ability, and clear smoothe presentation. I just notice these things and have to make an encouraging comment, At the 4:40 mark you are explaining the changes in the ending-spelling and pronunciation of the plural form of "I like", so you need to show that. YOur students are looking at the screen as you speak and following along step by step, and then you glide into this matter, which is important; SO please show it. Yeah, I know it just came to you naturally as you were doing the presentation.....ok, we all do that, but remember it harms your effectiveness. Someone should have said something, and then stopped the camera, scribbled some legible notes on paper and then started the camera again. Just my HO.
You quickly at 2:04 mention the preposition "to" and "by" in describing "Mne" this little comment opens a point that you could, since you wrote it on the video, mention the Russian difference in meaning here of "by" and "to", because to an American there is a BIG difference. You paused for a moment and thought about it...... So you see I pick up every little thing, because it is a video. I am not abnormal. Am I? ;-)
thanks this helps a lot, I never learned russian but now need it for my new school and have to catch up...but my mother-tongue is czech wich makes it a lot easier for me to understand, but to answer back is hard if I don't have the words... I'm still having a little difficulty with reading the letters. Do you have a video on that? It also confuses me how the O at the beginning of a word is often pronounced as A
Hello Фёдор (I hope I’ve written your name correctly:) Thanks for this cool channel. Он мне нравится :) I wanted to ask whether нравится is a reflexive verb. I know the endings of regular verbs from a different video and realized 💭 that the endings are similar (и instead of е though) if you take away the ся. If that’s true, what meaning does the ся have? Thanks for your answer and пока пока ;) Вера Елена
Are the feminine and neuter versions of "Нужно" supposed to sound the same? The neuter version of Нужно sounds like it ends with an "ah" sound. Thank you!
Really confusing!! Am I going to give it up learning Russian 😥.. are these examples right ? 1- мне нужен питер помочь мне. 2- мне нравится Русский?? ( i an not sure which gender Russia is 🤒”
Russian language- language is язык, and it's masculine, that's why for short we say Русский, instead of Русский язык. What did you mean in the first sentence, so I can help you correct it! (please leave a separate comment answering, because otherwise, I simply won't get a notification about it)
oh one more thing ;- In going over the sentence "I like you." an English thinker, would expect you to say the same word order "I - Like - You"; but you didn't say that, in giving your example you said "You- I - Like." From what little I know of Russian, really little, it could be expressed either way, as Russian is not position dependent language, BUT/However, there are traditional patterns, it seems. and you used one of them, yes? no?
Great video, both senses (10 min)!! It is passive voice, but without the ‘to be’ verb, I think. The verb changes according to the subject, and without the ‘to be’ verb, the ‘to like’ and the 'to need’ verbs are conjugated. Does it make sense? Thanks a lot!
"the verb changes according to the subject.." the verb here, "like" and "need" do reference the subjects in different ways. So I don't follow what you are saying. Secondly, I don't follow our logic on the absence of the passive voice in English it is there, and in Russian it isn't there. When we hear a foreign language in our heads we are translating to or from our native language, so there is a disconnect between the two languages in this case.
Ok, one more point that IMHO wish you would keep a little sign outside of camera view to remind you, "Too many Russian Ending sound the same to the untrained ears" such as the endings of these verbs, you "touched on it", but from my learning efforts, it is really critical. Of course A big grammar game is to master those noun and pronoun endings. However some are easy to hear, but the *you" and "iu" and "uu (y) sounds for example... (I tossed my Russian keyboard prompt because of food and coffee stains) are so similar and they need you to pause and repeat them, I think.
Confuses the hell out of me that, eg, ты is not тебя in 'I like you'. Can't get over using the nominative, not the acc/gen. Turning it into "You to me is liked" is the only way these phrases stick with the correct forms
Grammar question: if I need to buy a car, would it be correct to say "Мне нужно курить машину"? I ask this because машина is the direct object of купить , and I think that should be in the accusative, but нужно doesn't change, because it's followed by a verb. Is this correct?
Man that gets kinda tough there for нравитса. Is there a good way to track which endings will be used or do you just memorize it. And if you do just memorize it will the endings be similar when using different words?

I have a question. The way the verbs "to need" and "to like" in Russian function similar to that of Italian, but my question is where do the indirect objects go in a phrase?

Мне нравится пицца.
Мне нравится есть/Я люблю покушать.
А,Я is Feminine.
O,Е is Neuter.
Consonants is Masculine.
What about Ы Ю И Ы Ё?
Nominative nouns don't usually end with these letters. If they do, it's a case
Nouns ending with ы are either plural, for ex. мосты, женщины, so you can figure out the gender if you know the singular form; or singular in genitive or accusative case so you can figure out the gender if you know the nominative case of the noun, for ex. тишины ('silence' in genitive, singular only) is feminine.
Nouns in nominative case which end with ю are mostly the loan words like меню, фондю, рэндзю, they typically have neuter gender and are non-declining. But the ю ending is also has many different variations depending on cases: семью ('family' in singular accusative) is feminine, ферзю ('the chess Queen' in singular dative) is masculine, зверью (animals collective, see the ё-ending nouns below, in dative case, singular only) is neuter.
Nouns enging with и are mostly similar to the ы-ending ones (either plural or singular genitive/accusative) except for a few loan words like леди, селфи etc., non-declining, the gender varies.
Nouns ending with ё are typically collective nouns, singular only, and neuter, for ex. зверьё, враньё, бельё.
Hey фёдор!
Thank you so much for your tips- how do you say, on the other hand, "you need" instead of "I need"? I understand мне is only for pronoun me/I

No, it's not. "ться" is reflective, but "тся" is not.
Are the feminine and neuter versions of "Нужно" supposed to sound the same? The neuter version of Нужно sounds like it ends with an "ah" sound. Thank you!
Yes, they're almost the same! You can *pronounce* it either way - it doesn't matter, really.

Great video, both senses (10 min)!! It is passive voice, but without the ‘to be’ verb, I think. The verb changes according to the subject, and without the ‘to be’ verb, the ‘to like’ and the 'to need’ verbs are conjugated. Does it make sense? Thanks a lot!
"the verb changes according to the subject.." the verb here, "like" and "need" do reference the subjects in different ways. So I don't follow what you are saying. Secondly, I don't follow our logic on the absence of the passive voice in English it is there, and in Russian it isn't there. When we hear a foreign language in our heads we are translating to or from our native language, so there is a disconnect between the two languages in this case.
Ok, one more point that IMHO wish you would keep a little sign outside of camera view to remind you, "Too many Russian Ending sound the same to the untrained ears" such as the endings of these verbs, you "touched on it", but from my learning efforts, it is really critical. Of course A big grammar game is to master those noun and pronoun endings. However some are easy to hear, but the *you" and "iu" and "uu (y) sounds for example... (I tossed my Russian keyboard prompt because of food and coffee stains) are so similar and they need you to pause and repeat them, I think.
Confuses the hell out of me that, eg, ты is not тебя in 'I like you'. Can't get over using the nominative, not the acc/gen.
Turning it into "You to me is liked" is the only way these phrases stick with the correct forms
What is the difference between должен, надо,нужно??
They say to focus on vocabulary, that's fine; but the grammar seems to incorporate a lot of vocab changes. Any help/tips?
Have you found anything to help you with the vocab and grammer? Ive been struggling with the grammer
Grammar question: if I need to buy a car, would it be correct to say "Мне нужно курить машину"? I ask this because машина is the direct object of купить , and I think that should be in the accusative, but нужно doesn't change, because it's followed by a verb. Is this correct?
The phone screen is small, and you already know these two letters are right next to each other. I'll be more careful in the future.
пожалуйста, оставь русское предложение на экране немного дольше
Не относится к этому уроку, но в целом
Man that gets kinda tough there for нравитса. Is there a good way to track which endings will be used or do you just memorize it. And if you do just memorize it will the endings be similar when using different words?
Love you from Saudia
