  • Today I am talking about the particle ЖЕ. It is very intuitive and natural to Russian natives, and it was hard trying to find the meanings of this word. After some research I could put in a video. Hope it was clear and easy to understand.

    I think it can be simplified: consider же as an emphasizer. The core meaning of the sentence does not change when же is removed. However when же is added you add emphasis. This video was useful in showing different ways that emphasis can be added with же. Thanks for posting

      @@sabakhelashvili6360 Yes, you are right. And I think if one conclude 'же' as an emphatic particle, the third usage mentioned above in this video will also be left out, since no one would use an emphatic particle to ask another person specify a general concept. I am just saying that, saying someone is INDEED from Georgia doesn't magically make him from Tbilisi...

      This is oversimplifying, you can use this as an introduction in order to give the learner an idea of the concept behind this particle and then go on with the different uses, which you have to explain in detail or no one would get how to use it.

    • @FranciscoTornay
      @FranciscoTornay 5 лет назад +8

      Yes, @Nick you're absolutely right. However thinking about же as an emphatic particle lets you _understand_ it easily but it's not so useful in order to actually _use_ it because it's not used for just any emphasis but in particular situations. That's where Fedya's more detailed explanation really helps

    Thank you! You are truly an incredible teacher. You really do have a gift for explaining the Russian language to the English speaker. I am very new to Russian, and when I discovered the 6 grammatical cases, I thought I would cry...UNTIL I found your videos. Your explanation of combining the preposition with the noun to make a new word with a different ending made so much sense to me. Perhaps I read that in a book, but I didn't get it until I heard you explain it.
    What I love the most about your channel is the cultural perspective you provide. That is something you could never get from a book. Thank you again.
    I think that your family must be very proud of you.

      Koral Mae - I studied Russian in college forty years ago, and it has helped me in ways I never expected. I’m a retired programmer, and EVERY interviewer noticed that I had “Russian” on the list of spoken languages I knew. This set me apart from the other candidates, and I usually got the job.
      Russian is a tricky language for English speakers, so, it shows that you are intellectually curious (many people aren’t) AND that you want to get along with people from around the world. Studying Russian says a lot of good things about you. Keep up the good work. You will be glad you did.

    Regarding the use in confirmation, I think what was hanging you up was throwing in the word "because". If you had just said it has the meaning of "of course", it would have been far easier for you, and would make complete sense. We do this in English too, when we are boasting about our own abilities, usually in a joking manner. Someone might ask me "Did you win the game last night?", and I might reply "Of course, what else did you expect?". I think this was the meaning you were trying to get across.

    Поэтому, когда я слышу твой отличный английский акцент, это дает мне надежду на то, чтобы иметь меня тоже день отличный русский акцент (и тоже английский!).

      ТАКОЙ means SUCH, ТАКОЙ ЖЕ means THE SAME while ДРУГОЙ ТАКОЙ ЖЕ has the meaning of "another of the same kind". So, your use of ЖЕ in the last sentence is correct, but your first sentence translates as "I haven't seen the same video before", which I guess you didn't mean. It would have been correct to write "Я раньше не видел ТАКИЕ видео", or "Я раньше не видел ДРУГИЕ ТАКИЕ ЖЕ видео, как это". Yeah, it's so difficult when you start thinking about it...

    Well done! I have tried many different videos and from you I learn best, because you make it clear and logical.I am an American who married a Russian, and have lived in Sevastopol for nine years, but I have to go away to work for five or six months at a time, and forget what I learned. I have trouble understanding what I hear, and it takes a long time for my mind to put together the context and recognize words I know. Your videos help much. You have a talent for teaching.

    Твои видео помогают не только иностранцам изучить русским, а и наоборот усовершенствовать русским свой уровень английского слушая английскую речь о чём то что они понимают. Спасибо тебе за твои видео

    every time you say "while" in this in the first part -- I am thinking "but" would be more appropriate, just from the context of the examples. :) thanks for all the lovely videos. I'm going through them as part of my efforts to learn at least some basic Russian.

    Между прочим я бы был тебе очень благодарным, если ты снимешь видео про частицу " ведь". Спасибо заранее, я посоветую твой канал всем своим однокурсникам !!

    This is very much like "doch" in german, which is usually translated as "but", but can also have the meaning of "yes". It is also contrasting, but usually a transition from negative to positive.

    Great video as usual. For the 'happens quickly' we would translate it as 'very' - so 'on the very first night' or 'at that very moment'

    Based on your explanations, I conclude as follows. For contrast it means "on the other hand"; For confirmation: "it's obvious that, that's no surprise because..."; Questions: "right here and nowhere else"; Happens quickly: "at that price moment or place or without delay. Keep up the good work!

    I stumbled across this video and learnt something I hadn't got round to learning, thanks! The sense I got from most of these examples is that же generally seems to have a kind of "emphasising" character, or works as a kind of "strengthener" of meaning, albeit in different specific ways.

    14:30 We would say, "... that very evening" or "the very same evening." And later, "Right then, I turned (around) and left." It's of course more accurate to translate "right there" or "right here" but we tend not to use it so precisely.
