As a Bulgarian I've always found Russian very soft and also intonation is always so calm. So I've argued with foreigners about the aggressive sounding stereotype. I've always thought that one of the reasons for it is that most people would've heard Russian in movies where it is usually spoken by spies, mafia people, assassins and so on :D but let's not get into this other stereotype now.
Have to agree with you on the Hollywood influence here in the states. Most of the actors display strong, hostile accents to sound like an intimidating Russian. They’re conveying military leaders, spies, and gangsters. It is very misleading. When I watch my Russian YouRube channels (where they do street interviews abroad), the real world people sound beautiful speaking Russian. Men and women alike. Curiosity and intrigue for the language was a leading motivator for me to pursue it as a 4th language, and I adore it! 🇷🇺 ❤️ Check out EasyRussian and RussiaPlus, along with Eli’s channel here, to see what I mean.

In Russia most people would call Italian the most beautiful language in the world. If an Italian speaks Russian, it sounds so cool! The accent is so magnificent and charming!
This morning I woke up Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! And I found the invader. Oh partisan, carry me away, Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! Partisan, carry me away, For I feel I'm dying. And if I die as a partisan Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! And if I die as a partisan You have to bury me. Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! Bury me up in the mountain Under the shadow of a beautiful flower. And everyone who will pass by Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! Will say to me, "What a beautiful flower!" This is the flower of the partisan Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! Who died for freedom!
Being part Italian, I can say Italian can seem aggressive at times, especially when you see the ever-present hand gestures. I have been told before my Italian comes out a lot when I am angry or excited and start hand gesturing. Personally, I love the way Russian sounds; that is one of the reasons I am learning it. But I don't think it sounds aggressive.
@@ElifromRussia italian are more muzical but is not so precise like russian. Russian is precise but have a bad fonetic and have too many long words. I am from România and I studied russian 6 years in the school and english 2 years. English are inconstantly The same leter you can read diferently in diferent words. In romanian we kept The muzicality of latin words but we have 20 % of slavic words whoo' confer precision for our sentenses.
For people in the USA, Russian may seem aggressive because in our movies Russians are almost always angry or upset, so the actors speak with harsh sounds. However, when I'm around Russian speakers, the language Is not rude or aggressive. It's beautiful. Unfortunately, our entertainment industry has misled us.
Russian always sounds very menacing because whenever we hear it on the news, it's always either NATO being threatened, generals being threatened, government ministers being threatened, intelligence heads being threatened, oligarchs being threatened, nuclear armageddon being threatened, etc. It's a different type of scary than German. German is outright aggressive and confrontational whereas Russian has a menacing undertone of "you don't want to find out what happens if your factory can't produce the required artillery shells"
@@CuriousInquiror Firstly, German is not aggressive for Russians, it sounds very soft and sexy, like French for other peoples. Secondly, in Russia, news anchors speak in the right tone, where they put the accents correctly, pronounce the words clearly, as they should. It's just your perception, because if languages have different sounds, it may seem ugly to you.
I'm Dutch. A lot of Russian words we using here, because in those days Tsaar Peter the Great was visiting here to know how the things about lurning bilding ships. His second language was Dutch/German and speaks Dutch. In 1697 he stays 4 weeks here. Greetings, Leendert, the Netherlands, 4:49
I'm Brazilian, and for me (that have the portuguese as the language mother), russian sounds a little hard to pronunciate (because of the multiple consonants in a single word), but it's so fascinating when I read some russian word (I'm still learning the cyrillic alphabet, and after I'll study russian words, grammar and etc) By the way, hugs from Brazil, I meet your channel yesterday, and I'm loving watching the videos
“Hi” is more like “ Privet” in Russian, but “Hello” is more like “Zdravctvuite”; “Good Morning” is “Dobroe Utro”, not “Dobrui Den’”, which is actually, “Good Afternoon”
I am Russian, so lemme explain the "pancake" case: you may build an anology with English "shoot". It goes instead of something more insulting. So, "blin" might have become some sort of a habit for Russian to avoid saying bad words. P.S. by the way, "blin" is not considered a bad word at all. It even sounds normal, just like English "ohhh! Why so?"
I don't know Russian language, but in my opinion it sounds so sweet. The only problem is that it's too difficult to learn and understand. Russia has git a beautiful language and culture.
Russia is my favorite country to visit in live in Rostov on Don and Moscow. Yes, I always thought people were arguing, when they were just asking a question. It seems there is much passion when Russians speak. I made many Russian friends going for breakfast at cafe or McDonald's with American book. I was always treated very well and Russian who spoke English would help without asking. I did study Russian 6 months before I visit (but it boils y brain).
I've been learning russian for +2 years. As for me I think it sounds more soft than harsh. It is so beautiful, so delicate. It sounds like a wonderful music to my ear. It can sound agressive (probably because of some hard consonants), but anyway in this case it is not really the language itself but the person who speaks it who must be angry 😁 I would say that this is the same with any language. As a french, I think my language can sound pretty soft if I am calm, but if I get angry it can turn into an extremely harsh language. Russian is definitely my favorite language, I am totally in love with its complexity ; both soft and harsh. But the kind of harsh that sounds so pleasant and that make the softer sounds even more delicate. I like to say that it sounds like an intelligent language, with all of this complexity. Btw- In french, instead of saying "fuck" as "putain" we can turn it into "purée" (=mash potatoes) / or "shit" as "merde" we can turn it into "mercredi" (=wednesday)
I've been thinking about learning French. It always catched my attention when I heard it. But for now I decided to learn Spanish. Hope you are doing well with your life and have a good progress in Russian. :>
Russian isn’t agressive it’s only when a native Russian speaker speaks it. It’s all about accent and pronunciation. The Russian accent combined with the Russian language can sometimes sound angry to an English speaker since they have no context.
Eli and co - thank you for making this video! And for including the bit by Trevor Noah. I’ve had a hard time convincing friends and family to consider watching Russian film and TV, or RUclips channels, to hear the language and experience some of the real Russian culture.

Your channel is a motivator and an escape for me when I find myself getting frustrated or disheartened, or if I want to share something my English speaking friends can understand and appreciate. 🇷🇺🙌❤️
Russian doesn't sound aggressive at all for me as a native Portuguese speaker. In fact, there are a lot of similarity between Russian and Portuguese language. By the way Elina, you're the whole package: beautiful, smart and hot. Have a great day. Cheers. Paka!
My moms russian (never taught me the language rip) and whenever she spoke russian, it sounded like she was about to sing lmao Russian sounds very soft but the more I spend time on social media, the more aggressive it sounds. I like russian tho. Never wanted to learn it anyways, but now I just started a duolingo course for it lolol
I have an absolute affinity for Russia and I love the sound of this language! .......especially spoken by a beautiful Russian woman! Then it can sound very soft, melodic, and also veeeeery sexy 😉🫶
Hello Eli, no I don't feel hearing russian as agressif, but totaly exotic, very hard to learn for me who speak english, German, and very interested in spanish, italien, Russian, is so fare away from french as the country is différent and far away from what we are used to, here, mild weather, short distances, and a great varieties of landscapes in a quite smal country ;
For me it does sound aggressive but I think I'm mainly conditioned to perceive it as aggressive because of what I know about Russia, the persecution and violence against gay people.
Many people say that germanic languages sound more aggressive than russian lang. But when Russians start to speak these langs, for german-speakers the Russian accent sounds very rude and aggressive))
2:39 Btw we have the song "Cadillac". There is sang "Kak dela, kak dela? Eto noviy Cadillac". But my foreign friends thought that it's "Cadillac, Cadillac? Eto noviy Cadillac"😂
I don't think about Russian sounding angry, we as Indians not that familiar with Russian despite having similar culture. We mostly grown up with English and other Indian languages. These days I'm interested to learn more about Russia and Russian culture. I'm watching many videos about Russia. Also you are making good videos, I like most of them. These videos give good insight about Russia. I can say one thing if someone fall in love with a language, it doesn't make you bore no matter how it sounds.
Russian has never sounded aggressive to me. People probably think it is because of movies and the Russian Mafia but Russian is actually a very elegant language with a intellectual flare.
I love russian langage since i heard tatu. and now since one year i'm learning it to speak with my lady from Kyiv..when you speak russian, as french i feel i'm becoming like Conan the barbarian inspiring fear to everyoone else... for exemple wish a good anniversary . congratulation for your imitation of italian langage :)
That’s a distinction without a difference in English, as “Hi” is just shorthand for “Hello.” Perhaps in Russian there is a difference in usage (say formal v informal), but in (American) English they are functionally equivalent, with “Hi” being just hair more informal than “Hello.”

I think the modalities is a personal preference. I say 'please' and 'could you' forms a lot in both languages. Maybe even neurotically too much. And another way of politeness is to ask for something with the negative verb form. Something like 'Will you not pass the salt [please]?' If the tone of asking is polite enough, then please can be omitted. I think it can sound rude in translation. But generally I thought that we are taught 'always say please' in Russian. We also have formal You like in many other languages. So it's totally possible to sound very polite, so that even in translation into English it would be fine.
To me, Russian just sounds like a very emotional language with a lot of range. Angry Russian sounds *very* angry, whereas, at other times, Russian can sound as soft as French.
I from Italy and no is not aggressive is normal and some times Korobuska i m italian italian and petruska. Is in my mind like korobuska the song. But Is my .... Maybe isn't like korobuska sure is not like korobuska but i linked korobuska hem no isn't korobuska ops.
And albanian has the same vowel that sounds same like " syr" in russian. In french its called " Í graek". ( p.s " sy or syri does mean eye in albanian)
To me Russian sounds expressive and colourful, but indeed also complicated. Btw, I love all the Russian vocabulary borowed from Dutch ! (being Flemish, I speak Dutch) And: this video was ever so funny !!!

Hello. It's an interesting and beautiful video. I can't say anything about how it sounds, but if anyone speaks that language, I'll know it's Russian . Thank you for this video. See you.
for an italian the most aggressive language is german language. Russian language in general is associated to the language of Ivan Drago in Rocky film... but not so aggressive in my opinion.
Hi Elina! It's not as aggressive as certain languages in my perspective but it's understanding that Russians are used to their native language and may not feel it when they speak
Elina, I agree 100% with you about the German language 😀. I had thought about adding that language in the prior comment but I wanted to make it sound more abroad
Говоришь по английски "Hi", а по русски "Здравствуйте", хотя правильно было бы "Привет". Говоришь по английски "Good morning", а по русски "Добрый день". Почему не "Доброе утро" собственно Вы, кажется, не знаете английский, хотя я не знаю как можно не знать на таком уровне чтобы делать такие ошибки
Not if you compare it with Persian, or Lebanese, or Eastern Armenian. I'll tell you though what a very dangerous thing to do is to have a get together with all your Armenian and Persian friends in a small room during dinner. With all the jestering and dramatic talk, you spend most of your time ducking. LOL

“Hi” это не «Здравствуйте», а «Привет».
That’s a distinction without a difference in English, as “Hi” is just shorthand for “Hello.” Perhaps in Russian there is a difference in usage (say formal v informal), but in (American) English they are functionally equivalent, with “Hi” being just hair more informal than “Hello.”

Says good morning in English and good day in Russian;D
Доброе утро ...must be the time zones. Shes a doll by the way.
I think the modalities is a personal preference. I say 'please' and 'could you' forms a lot in both languages. Maybe even neurotically too much.
And another way of politeness is to ask for something with the negative verb form. Something like 'Will you not pass the salt [please]?' If the tone of asking is polite enough, then please can be omitted. I think it can sound rude in translation.
But generally I thought that we are taught 'always say please' in Russian.
We also have formal You like in many other languages. So it's totally possible to sound very polite, so that even in translation into English it would be fine.

this is interesting to say that in Persian we say "ananas" to pineapple that sounds like Italian and Rusian.

Best part of it "Ya lublu vas " 😅 it was cool

@@undefeated_romantic1692 мне кажется, это уже культурный аспект. Я имею в виду фраза-то есть, только у нас не принято так мудрить, а у них это нормально.
"I love German and Russian. Whenever I hear Russian I want to put on my Spetnaz t-shirt and swim to the other side..." - Someone said this to me years ago.
Great for now on I saying pancake when I get angry lol
I'm Italian too and yes, Russian sounds always so aggressive. But at the same time it sounds so elegant and noble.
sai che i proprietari di questo profilo sostengono Putin e gli assassini di bambini ucraini? Pubblicano commenti sui profili di Putin. Lodano l'aggressione della Russia lì!
To some extent I can agree.. overall yes it's not as beautiful as Italian but still nice I guess?
Hello. It's an interesting and beautiful video. I can't say anything about how it sounds, but if anyone speaks that language, I'll know it's Russian . Thank you for this video. See you.
Elina is so cute
Russian sound to Spanish like burhurcushlovachik like bubbles with burrsshhhh mix plus bulova reminds us the famous Swiss time clocks. )
Bien interesante ! It sounds like Spanish also !
2:04 не добрый день, а доброе утро
10:13 in India and in Hindi language we also say pineapple to *Ananas*
But why I don't know & Halwa also same as in Russian
for an italian the most aggressive language is german language. Russian language in general is associated to the language of Ivan Drago in Rocky film... but not so aggressive in my opinion.
Lol
Русский язык не кажется агрессивным, на мой взгляд, это сильный мужской язык, на котором говорит сильный человек.💪💪💪😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
Interesting that so many words are similar, but we have to consider both are European languages.
Macchina is the only Italian word I relate to in Russian (car),
Also Gruppo, Brigat(a), Battaglion(e), Energia, and many others

I think this woman is just Soo Beautiful. Spirit and flesh
Russian is the German of slavic languages
Men ja savut Håvar, krasiva ;)
Что это делает у меня в реках?
Feliz Miercoles Elina desde Florida 🙏🏻❤ To me, Russian can sound aggressive
Hi Elina! It's not as aggressive as certain languages in my perspective but it's understanding that Russians are used to their native language and may not feel it when they speak
Elina, I agree 100% with you about the German language 😀. I had thought about adding that language in the prior comment but I wanted to make it sound more abroad
Говоришь по английски "Hi", а по русски "Здравствуйте", хотя правильно было бы "Привет".
Говоришь по английски "Good morning", а по русски "Добрый день". Почему не "Доброе утро" собственно
Вы, кажется, не знаете английский, хотя я не знаю как можно не знать на таком уровне чтобы делать такие ошибки
Бабушка и дедушка
Petruska korobuska😅 really is like korobuska I'm Sorry .
it doesn't sound backwards
for me russian sounds native
Not if you compare it with Persian, or Lebanese, or Eastern Armenian. I'll tell you though what a very dangerous thing to do is to have a get together with all your Armenian and Persian friends in a small room during dinner. With all the jestering and dramatic talk, you spend most of your time ducking. LOL
Петрушка знаменита не как зелень, а как кукла :). Стандартный набор: матрёшка, балалайка, медведь, водка, Петрушка...
Never knew American was a language
