Many young boys and girls where in the west that have changed their gender, many of those have taken their life later on in life becuse they regreted it. Just remember that most young ones are insecure about small stuff like shoes, cloths and body, so too push young adult that is basicaly insecure about everything in their life to change their gender is not good at all.. It should at least be something they had to wait a long time to do so they get more mature in their thinking box.
About your first point: you shouldn't feel bad about using "you" in English, because it _IS_ the polite form. There are a lot of influences, but just like Bbl and TbI are like the French _vous_ and _tu_, the _you_ is the _vous_ and the _tu_ used to be _du_ (like still in German). In Dutch, the polite form is still _U_, and how is that letter pronounced in English? Indeed: you. So despite people not realizing it, in English they actually ONLY have the polite form. To those who are going to argue that the polite form used to be "thou", I say it's wrong. _Thou_ is the _du_ I referred to, only in a more formal form, reserved for religious texts, official addresses and poetry. In Dutch that one still exists as well, as _gij_ which is the formal, religious version of _jij_ that in old times used to be more widely used in all uses of language and currently still exists in most Flemish dialects. (which is why the Dutch consider the Flemish to be so polite, while in Flanders the very same word is considered very informal and thus not polite at all)
that is good comfortable in cold weather. In India we all young folks wear them in winter, more and more older folks r wearing now as well, just cheap and reliable, u know third world problems.

If it helps, the Russian 'вы' and the English 'you' both come from the same polite/plural pronoun, which was the Proto-Indo-European word 'yūs'. So technically, you always address people politely when speaking English. Если вам это поможет, русский и английский произошли от того же вежливого/множественного местоимения, которое было протоиндоевропейским словом . Так что технически, вы всегда обращаетесь к людям вежливо, когда говорите по-английски.

I went to acting school with Russian friends in LA and I learned how awesome and hard-working you guys are. Also, I never considered any of them rude, they just seemed more honest. I love that. Many Americans unfortunately are just spoiled and jaded. To be fair, I did drink a LOT of vodka with them 😆
Hi from the US I really love your videos and I love the kind feeling you always bring, It even cheers us up over here in the US where things are ostensibly better. it reminds me so much of my sense of humour. Anyway much love from the US and I hope you get everything you want, you are a powerful dreamer after all...
I think most languages have this or had this. I ll never forget how my aunt (by marriage) told her elderly mom that, "they smelled and they should wash themselves". The contrast between the polightness to ones elders and the directness always stayed with me.
Actually, directness is something I LOVE about Russians and Russian culture. It's so refreshing and it seems like it is almost never meant in a mean way. Love it.
I love your Nationsal Anthem..... When you played at thevend of your video it makes me feel very emotional. I guess It makes me feel proud that you are proud, and that you feel proud for the right reasons. There is, or was only one other that made me feel that way and it was the Rhodesian National Anthem, "Rise O' Voices of Rhodesia"...... I lived there from 1965 to 1999.... Yes, I am old...lol. Back then we were enemies, now I am complete opposite! Now, "я горжусь тобой"!
Did you notice how this playground looks like it was made by local people with materials left over from other construction projects? It seems local artists found an outlet for the talent they have by building things that looks like swans or a snowman. And finally grumpy teenage graffiti artists arrived doing the usual stuff.
@@AgentNesty Reason this is so funny, is on any international group, "creepy Russian playgrounds" is a thing. We all think it's funny (especially North Americans and Britons) because of sad soulful Russia stereotype, so after about two winters exposure everything including the cheerful happy animal made from car tires looks hauntingly bleak, demented, and demonic. Actually you know what I just realized, literally most of the enemies in Atomic Heart is just playground decoration before Russian winter, then transforms to children's playground decoration AFTER first Russian winter. ruclips.net/user/shortsIwzmENsXCcc like now to think about it I am actually SHOCKED at how accurate that actually is ruclips.net/video/_tEgeZrOOHM/видео.html it's like the Russian devs literally just sat outside their kruschova and said "hey, what if all the playground decorations came alive. And they had KGB computers inside them with malevolent machine spirits." That entire game is basically a Soviet era playground coming to life.
It was common in eastern bloc. Local people built a lot of minor city/village infrastructure. It was called "action Z". Sometimes they built kindergardens or other smaller municipal buildings. There was also common "cooperative construction work" when were built flats or family houses. see also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subbotnik
Also here Its common thing to see , people use leftovers of construction material to build for example house for dog, sheds, pantry, or just strait using it to complete building at their weekend houses. 😆
I moved back to Canada recently after 30+ years abroad and let me tell you, I’m uncomfortable with the extreme smiling and over-the-top familiarity of complete strangers. ❤️🇷🇺
I cannot digest strangers feeling free to touch me and my belongings like their own. More common in Ireland than in England which has an emotionally colder and more reserved culture.
@brexitgreens My point is regarding the territory the USSR held not the brand of politics. which you will find is what the "stereotype" is really about.
@@adrianred236 The stereotype is wrongly attached to post-Soviet countries because it is really a trait present in all of northern and eastern Europe: from Germany through Sweden to Russia. Wherever there's winter, there's cold 🥶😆.
Sweet video Nesty! I'm an American living in Germany and Germans have a Formal language form when talking to older people or your boss at work and they tried to tell me we don't have that in English. I would argue that we do have it in English and like you said it is definitely your tone of voice and choice of words to show respect. Really liked your vlog Nesty!! Keep up the good work :)
We were raised to never say "yeah' to adults; to always say "yes" when I was a child growing up in the South of the USA. We had informal speech and slang for the streets, and formal, polite speech for school, parents, and other elders.
I am from the American South. A place called the "Great Smoky Mountains" & we are sometimes taken for being rude &/or mean b/c we are quite blunt as well as having a reputation for being fighters but we are quite nice if people only took the time to understand our culture.
I've been through the Smoky mountains many times. Never thought people were rude there. If you think that's rude try new York, Chicago, or really any large city.
the annual alcohol consumption per person is actually quite low in Russia English or German people, for example, drink MUCH more I guess in the 90s alcoholism was a big problem, cause life was so hard and that's how many people coped
It was a big problem in the 1970-s and 1980-s. People had free time and money, but not much to spend it to. Plus, at the time there was a huge influx of rural people, moving into the big cities, switching from farming (hard manual labor with no fixed hours) to relatively relaxed, fixed hours jobs. Again, more money, more free time, but the old hillbilly habits. Hence huge problem with alcoholism. The problem did propagated into the 1990s, but then people going poorer, having more things to spend money at and having to work harder, the problem started to die out by early 2000-s.
I don't know how in Russia, but here in Czechia, a lot of people made alcohol at home and this illegal alcohol is probably not included in statistics. 😀
Old stereotypes die hard. Yes, Russians drink when miserable. The 90’s were miserable. Now, not so much, so the levels of alcoholism are far lower than they used to be. Last I checked (2023) the average alcohol consumption per citizen was lower in Russia than the US. I live in California and many people here have drinking and narcotics problems. In my extended family on my (American) wife’s side there are several such personas. One spent years driving around drunk, eventually got into an accident. Another drank himself into organ failure. Another used cocaine and gambled. I haven’t seen it myself, but according to the statistics painkillers like fentanyl are an extremely acute problem. But, none of this stops Americans on Reddit or wherever of talking about “constantly drunk Russians” because they hate them.
Hey Nesty, there are times when I think I was born in the wrong country, because I am very intense and passionate in the way I speak and my opinions! I love it when a people are straightforward like Russians and other European folk. Straightforward is always best to me as I know how the other person feels and where they are coming from
I prefer direct, here in Canada people talk around things. So when you say something direct they get offended. I worked with a Russian, she didn't hold back It wasn't malicious she had a heart of gold it just took time for her to gain trust.
The beating about the bush is an American (north, central and south) thing in general because the people tend to make decisions on an emotional basis instead of racional like most European countries do! People don't tell you things straight in your face but rather to everyone except you which many Europeans experience as sneaky or at least disrespectful! Directness like we practise in the Netherlands (masters in it) isn't rude because it doesn't involve cursing (most of times) unless you fucked up badly! You fuck up, you get a face full (it's social education to ensure you won't fuck up again which is of course in YOUR best interest)! We dutchies don't like CONFUSION and that's the reason we are so brutally direct and to the point! The ONLY thing that can kill confusion or misconception instantly is brutal directness!
@@classesanytime Same here, and thats a good thing. In Austria and Germany they tend to report to authority what they "consider suspicious" instead of mind their own business or straight up asking other people what is wrong or is something wrong.
@@classesanytime I worked with Dutch colleagues, and while it is true that you are direct and honest, with that you cause even more confusion among people who don't expect that from you, if that makes sense😅
This was superb... These are the kinds of discussions I have had for years with my close friend in St. Petersburg...

THIS IS RUSSOPHOBIC PROPAGANDA. IM HALF RUSSIN HALF KOREAN Lived 20 yeras in Russia and 10 years in Korea. THIS GIRL IS RUSSIA HATING SHIT LIB. DONT BUY THIS BS Im 34 i have like 1 out of 20+ of my friends who drink vodka heavily or being drunk often (more than 2-3 times per YEAR. and i gurantee that russians drink vodka much less than koreans drink soju. just for comparison. "Russian men are not pretty" - its BS. They are not more ugly than German or Polish or Finnish . Literally no difference if you put side by side. Russian women are pretty - THATS BS AS WELL. You need to go throgh 10-20-30 cows before you find and good looking normal russian girl who isnt a cheap whore. its literally easier to find good wife in EU than in russia. Dumb cheap whore mentality is insane and huge problem Russian girls are party sluts thats it (unfortunatelly) and this trend is huge. Hoe-flation. 3) Rude -its absolute degenerate LIE. Russians are most welcome and friendly and a lot of foreigners recognise it. For example french are more rude than russians. i heard it from gazillion of eu tourists. Yes we fight but no more than any americans in hood-hill billy or brits in pubs. THIS GIRL IS TYPICAL LIBERL RUSSIA HATER. And i looked through other videos and its literally true. SHE IS LOOTING MONEY FROM BLACK RUSSOPHOBIC PROPAGANDA OF RUSSIAN NATION LITERALLY PIG.
Germans have a similar reputation actually. Known for being more direct and less sociable with strangers, in comparison to my outwardly friendly countries.
@@JCW86 you are mistaken, Germans are direct and brutally honest however they don't like it when you are brutally honest with them. It doesn't work both ways.
@@JCW86 It's actually the whole world outside of the Anglosphere. *Edit:* Okay, it's not the whole world. Some non-English exceptions: Thais, Pinoys, Brazilians.
I personally love the way Russians, as well as those from many other countries, speak more "evenly" as you put it. I think here in the states we put so much emotion into the things we say, that it sort of takes away from the depth of situations that truly warrant a lot of emotions. I've always thought that, and I'm 44.
I could never be an actor, whenever I acted I was told I was too monotone. That’s just how I talk in general. Once I got a B for a skit in which I was supposed to depict a man in pain trying to ask a store owner for help but she was just bringing up her own issues. Well, the teacher told me I wasn’t nearly dramatic enough, not in enough agony. No screaming and rolling around on the floor. Funny thing is, it never occurred to me that’s what the script writer was going for because no matter how much pain I was in, I’d never act that way myself.
A version of the "man should not be more beautiful than a monkey"-quote is in the 1975 book "Tante Jolesch oder der Untergang des Abendlandes (Aunt Jolesch or the demise of the Occident) by the Austrian author Friedrich Torberg. The book is set in the time of the end of the Austrian monarchy and early times of the Republic. The real life "model" of "aunty Jolesch" is supposed to be a Ms. Gisela Salacz, born in 1875 in what is today Oradea/ Veľký Varadín,/Großwardein in today's Romania which then was within the Hungarian Comitat Bihar and hence within the Austro-Hungarian empire. She married a Julius Jolesch in 1893 and moved with him to Vienna. In 1938 the real person moved to Prague, whereas in the book she dies in 1932. The book is a sympathetic reminiscence to the spirit of the Austro-Hungarian empire and a lot of sarcastic comments of "Aunt Jolesch" are quoted therein. The one about monkeys and apes is "Every level of a man's beauty beyond that of a monkey is luxury". Not sure, how Torberg came to this (he didn't really have an "Aunt Jolesch"), but I assume the quote might be more widely used in Eastern European / Slavic traditions....
Ha I was gonna say… let’s not beat around the bush here, her Russian accent is killer! Sorry Nesty, there’s a lot more going on of course but that accent is hot! 😁
Dated a Russian woman for a long time , many years ago . There was some culture shock , but I got used to it . She had a strong accent like you do . She knew I liked it , and used it to her advantage sometimes , she sounded like a sexy vampire to me lol .
In norway we are kind of similar. We may seem arrogant, cold and rude. But in reality, we are just people who need a bit of patience. Once people broke through the ice, we're quite warm and loving.
Ok, you caught my attention with this one. I was in Norway a few years ago and I couldn’t figure it out. Around Oslo, it was ok - but the further north I went the rudeness got to the point where I just assumed they hated foreigners. I mean, REALLY HATED foreigners. I’m sure Australians can sometimes try people’s patience with our bullshit - but not being one of the drinking and loud type of Aussie, I wasn’t ready for the responses I was getting. I ended up cutting my trip short in Bergen, and headed back to Sweden! But I did love Oslo.
@@TheForbinExperiment I guess northern people are just differend kind of nice with a HUGE area of personal space. It is hard to describe, but if you will let them lead the speed of getting along they will open up and welcome you in their life. Friendship and social interactions are more thin and transparent here.
All of you people are strange and cold, same with Germans and Austrians. My friend told me (one is in Austria one is in Norway), that people there do not hangout randomly before they "announce" their arrival (maybe not all of the people, but plenty). Here we can just barge in our friends house, no need to announce our arrival. Also much more relaxed and less restrictions on the street what we can do and what we can not. People do not understand that because they used living in their countries and are oblivious how much restricted they are there.
I grew up in DC. I knew many Russian people who worked at the embassy and elsewhere. All really great people. Smart, classy, good family people, nice kids.
Yes. Very interesting people. And the ones who worked at the embassy? They seem to be particularly interested in Americans, in our government, in what we say, in our phone calls, in our fringe political parties, in the locations of our important industries -- especially the ones engaged in defense manufacturing. You will not meet people who want to know more about what goes on in American than those who work at the Russian embassy.
@clutteredchicagogarage2720 Why watch at all ? Then scroll through the comments until you see a troll opportunity. Hilarious. no need for anyone to spy on America. America is imploding all by itself
I love how funny and clever your videos are. You definitely have a talent, i haven't seen such a great content in a long time. Congratulations on your channel!
Third comment: I dance like Nesty does every time I go to Disney World... Right outside the front gates. They never let me in. They tell me to stay away from children. I do not know why.
Well, regarding the whole "smiling" thing, we Americans hear this from foreigners from all over the world. Apparently, we must smile a lot. I don't know why. Maybe we are just happier? A common saying here in the USA is, "If you see someone without a smile, give him one of yours!"
@@coreym162I haven’t heard that saying either. Maybe a generational saying - but would have to be an old generation. It’s not common with millennials and newer generations. Like at all.
Here in Finland, it is often said of someone who smiles or is somehow visibly happy that he is either drunk or American. The former will eventually sober up while the latter is beyond rescue.
When I see such a playground, it reminds me of a construction site 😉I liked that guy in the end, appearing like a ghost from the past with the Stalin T-shirt. Just like a vampire, they "admire" young women with a nice, white neck 😂But then he noticed your bodyguard...
Everyone is brainwashed is the issue. Trying to compare the attractiveness of Men and Women on the same terms is like judging Summer and Winter or Night and Day the same way. Also it's all a matter of who's doing the judging? Men will automatically say "beautiful women and ugly men". If the women are saying it then, your nation is screwed. Like mine...
I don't know how in Albania, but we have a lot of Romanians and Ukrainians in work and they are mostly both ugly - men and even women. 🙂 Mostly fat, wearing tracksuits and white socks. 😀

There was also common "cooperative construction work" when were built flats or family houses.
see also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subbotnik
Also here Its common thing to see , people use leftovers of construction material to build for example house for dog, sheds, pantry, or just strait using it to complete building at their weekend houses. 😆
there is no way the scene with the dude at the end was not staged. It was too funny to not be staged
It was staged. That's her fella.
She made a polite translation of dude's answer while actually he said smth like "go f* yourself!"
Makes me think he's not her fella 🤔
Obviously...she said Please LOL
That's her incredibly handsome Russian bloke 😅
You’ll see him in other videos. I’m jealous and I want his “Uncle Joe” tshirt !!
2:11 "straightfoordness... straightfor... straightfrrrrwrrrrdness" haha Russian accent is too cute.
I moved back to Canada recently after 30+ years abroad and let me tell you, I’m uncomfortable with the extreme smiling and over-the-top familiarity of complete strangers. ❤️🇷🇺
I cannot digest strangers feeling free to touch me and my belongings like their own. More common in Ireland than in England which has an emotionally colder and more reserved culture.
Canada has become a fake Americanized society.
@brexitgreens My point is regarding the territory the USSR held not the brand of politics. which you will find is what the "stereotype" is really about.
@@adrianred236 The stereotype is wrongly attached to post-Soviet countries because it is really a trait present in all of northern and eastern Europe: from Germany through Sweden to Russia. Wherever there's winter, there's cold 🥶😆.
@@brexitgreens You've lost me.
The red shirt guy the perfect ending to the video!

Sweet video Nesty! I'm an American living in Germany and Germans have a Formal language form when talking to older people or your boss at work and they tried to tell me we don't have that in English. I would argue that we do have it in English and like you said it is definitely your tone of voice and choice of words to show respect. Really liked your vlog Nesty!! Keep up the good work :)
We were raised to never say "yeah' to adults; to always say "yes" when I was a child growing up in the South of the USA. We had informal speech and slang for the streets, and formal, polite speech for school, parents, and other elders.
@@charliedillon1400 exactly ;)
I am from the American South. A place called the "Great Smoky Mountains" & we are sometimes taken for being rude &/or mean b/c we are quite blunt as well as having a reputation for being fighters but we are quite nice if people only took the time to understand our culture.
I've been through the Smoky mountains many times. Never thought people were rude there. If you think that's rude try new York, Chicago, or really any large city.
the annual alcohol consumption per person is actually quite low in Russia
English or German people, for example, drink MUCH more
I guess in the 90s alcoholism was a big problem, cause life was so hard and that's how many people coped
It was a big problem in the 1970-s and 1980-s. People had free time and money, but not much to spend it to. Plus, at the time there was a huge influx of rural people, moving into the big cities, switching from farming (hard manual labor with no fixed hours) to relatively relaxed, fixed hours jobs. Again, more money, more free time, but the old hillbilly habits. Hence huge problem with alcoholism.
The problem did propagated into the 1990s, but then people going poorer, having more things to spend money at and having to work harder, the problem started to die out by early 2000-s.
The drinking and driving deaths are high tho
I don't know how in Russia, but here in Czechia, a lot of people made alcohol at home and this illegal alcohol is probably not included in statistics. 😀
South Koreans consume the most alcohol by far
Old stereotypes die hard. Yes, Russians drink when miserable. The 90’s were miserable. Now, not so much, so the levels of alcoholism are far lower than they used to be. Last I checked (2023) the average alcohol consumption per citizen was lower in Russia than the US.
I live in California and many people here have drinking and narcotics problems. In my extended family on my (American) wife’s side there are several such personas. One spent years driving around drunk, eventually got into an accident. Another drank himself into organ failure. Another used cocaine and gambled. I haven’t seen it myself, but according to the statistics painkillers like fentanyl are an extremely acute problem. But, none of this stops Americans on Reddit or wherever of talking about “constantly drunk Russians” because they hate them.
Hey Nesty, there are times when I think I was born in the wrong country, because I am very intense and passionate in the way I speak and my opinions! I love it when a people are straightforward like Russians and other European folk. Straightforward is always best to me as I know how the other person feels and where they are coming from
I prefer direct, here in Canada people talk around things. So when you say something direct they get offended. I worked with a Russian, she didn't hold back It wasn't malicious she had a heart of gold it just took time for her to gain trust.
Same! We have the same issue in the US. I prefer people being direct and blunt about what they say, even if it hurts.
The beating about the bush is an American (north, central and south) thing in general because the people tend to make decisions on an emotional basis instead of racional like most European countries do!
People don't tell you things straight in your face but rather to everyone except you which many Europeans experience as sneaky or at least disrespectful!
Directness like we practise in the Netherlands (masters in it) isn't rude because it doesn't involve cursing (most of times) unless you fucked up badly!
You fuck up, you get a face full (it's social education to ensure you won't fuck up again which is of course in YOUR best interest)!
We dutchies don't like CONFUSION and that's the reason we are so brutally direct and to the point!
The ONLY thing that can kill confusion or misconception instantly is brutal directness!
all Anglo-Saxon countries,especially the UK ,are like this because we feel it's rude to be too direct
@@classesanytime Same here, and thats a good thing. In Austria and Germany they tend to report to authority what they "consider suspicious" instead of mind their own business or straight up asking other people what is wrong or is something wrong.
@@classesanytime I worked with Dutch colleagues, and while it is true that you are direct and honest, with that you cause even more confusion among people who don't expect that from you, if that makes sense😅
This was superb... These are the kinds of discussions I have had for years with my close friend in St. Petersburg... We are both older and remember the old days but care nothing about the stereotypes. Your humor is perfect for this, too... I often wonder how your partner prevents himself from laughing while you are shooting your vids lol... Thank you for intelligent observations and lots of dry humor :)
i love this!!! AND THE ENDING LMAOOOO the stalin shirt goes hard!
Plot twist: he ordered it mailed from the USA company (where it was originally ordered to be made in China or Nepal)
Stalin with big "s"))
😂😂
As a German, i can understand you quite well regarding the "rude-issue"...
I’d love to see you and “Eli from Russia” do a video together!
You girls sharing your experiences with us would be awesome!
Thanks for the vids … from Oz (Australia)
Thanks
Too low amount for reaction from the Agent, but please, feel welcome anyway.
Agent Nesty is a jewel, I love listening to her speak on whatever her topic of the day is and she handles situations that come at her with such grace and humor. (And nary a rudeness!) Hello from Idaho, USA 🙋♂😊
Why does RUclips keep unsubscribing me from this channel but yet fortunately still recommends it to me?
Anyhoo I subscribed again thank you for helping me understand your culture better
As always, your observations and explanations are brilliant, insightful ... and funny!!! in how you present them. As a Canadian who is NOT passionate about hockey ... I get it, "eh!?" Thanks for your posts. Much enjoyed.
Many thanks! 🥰
Just found this channel and got addicted to the content. Keep up the good work
The last part...he guys says "idi nahoi", and she says "spasibo"...I'm dying here! 🤣🤣
Russians ARE rude. And kind. And polite. Depends on the person, as everywhere in the world. Greetings from germany. :)
THIS IS RUSSOPHOBIC PROPAGANDA. IM HALF RUSSIN HALF KOREAN Lived 20 yeras in Russia and 10 years in Korea.
THIS GIRL IS RUSSIA HATING SHIT LIB. DONT BUY THIS BS
Im 34 i have like 1 out of 20+ of my friends who drink vodka heavily or being drunk often (more than 2-3 times per YEAR. and i gurantee that russians drink vodka much less than koreans drink soju. just for comparison.
"Russian men are not pretty" - its BS. They are not more ugly than German or Polish or Finnish . Literally no difference if you put side by side.
Russian women are pretty - THATS BS AS WELL. You need to go throgh 10-20-30 cows before you find and good looking normal russian girl who isnt a cheap whore. its literally easier to find good wife in EU than in russia. Dumb cheap whore mentality is insane and huge problem
Russian girls are party sluts thats it (unfortunatelly) and this trend is huge. Hoe-flation.
3) Rude -its absolute degenerate LIE. Russians are most welcome and friendly and a lot of foreigners recognise it. For example french are more rude than russians. i heard it from gazillion of eu tourists. Yes we fight but no more than any americans in hood-hill billy or brits in pubs.
THIS GIRL IS TYPICAL LIBERL RUSSIA HATER. And i looked through other videos and its literally true.
SHE IS LOOTING MONEY FROM BLACK RUSSOPHOBIC PROPAGANDA OF RUSSIAN NATION
LITERALLY PIG.
Actually, even one person can collect all of this 😆😆
For example, I'm kind, but I can be polite or rude, it depends on the situation.
Germans have a similar reputation actually. Known for being more direct and less sociable with strangers, in comparison to my outwardly friendly countries.
@@JCW86 you are mistaken, Germans are direct and brutally honest however they don't like it when you are brutally honest with them. It doesn't work both ways.
@@JCW86 It's actually the whole world outside of the Anglosphere. *Edit:* Okay, it's not the whole world. Some non-English exceptions: Thais, Pinoys, Brazilians.
I will never get offended when you were saying anything! We love you too much! ❤
I personally love the way Russians, as well as those from many other countries, speak more "evenly" as you put it. I think here in the states we put so much emotion into the things we say, that it sort of takes away from the depth of situations that truly warrant a lot of emotions. I've always thought that, and I'm 44.
I could never be an actor, whenever I acted I was told I was too monotone. That’s just how I talk in general.
Once I got a B for a skit in which I was supposed to depict a man in pain trying to ask a store owner for help but she was just bringing up her own issues. Well, the teacher told me I wasn’t nearly dramatic enough, not in enough agony. No screaming and rolling around on the floor. Funny thing is, it never occurred to me that’s what the script writer was going for because no matter how much pain I was in, I’d never act that way myself.
How often do I listen to the advice of my government...😂
Look at my arrest records. That'd give you a hint!😈
An English speaker from >300 years ago might be confused that the formal "you" is always used, "thou" not used in modern English.
and this is a shame i would say
@@PofigeyOfigeev definitely! It is a shame!
I did not know that. That's very interesting.
Cant wait to reach 100k...keep on dreaming Nastya..hoora, keep fighting. You got this! Poka²🤗

A version of the "man should not be more beautiful than a monkey"-quote is in the 1975 book "Tante Jolesch oder der Untergang des Abendlandes (Aunt Jolesch or the demise of the Occident) by the Austrian author Friedrich Torberg. The book is set in the time of the end of the Austrian monarchy and early times of the Republic. The real life "model" of "aunty Jolesch" is supposed to be a Ms. Gisela Salacz, born in 1875 in what is today Oradea/ Veľký Varadín,/Großwardein in today's Romania which then was within the Hungarian Comitat Bihar and hence within the Austro-Hungarian empire. She married a Julius Jolesch in 1893 and moved with him to Vienna. In 1938 the real person moved to Prague, whereas in the book she dies in 1932. The book is a sympathetic reminiscence to the spirit of the Austro-Hungarian empire and a lot of sarcastic comments of "Aunt Jolesch" are quoted therein. The one about monkeys and apes is "Every level of a man's beauty beyond that of a monkey is luxury". Not sure, how Torberg came to this (he didn't really have an "Aunt Jolesch"), but I assume the quote might be more widely used in Eastern European / Slavic traditions....
A good friend of mine said to me ' The more U generalise the more likely U are to make yourself look a fool.

Dated a Russian woman for a long time , many years ago . There was some culture shock , but I got used to it . She had a strong accent like you do . She knew I liked it , and used it to her advantage sometimes , she sounded like a sexy vampire to me lol .

I love the subversiveness and the humour of your channel. Thank you.
subverseness? were
In norway we are kind of similar. We may seem arrogant, cold and rude. But in reality, we are just people who need a bit of patience. Once people broke through the ice, we're quite warm and loving.
Ok, you caught my attention with this one. I was in Norway a few years ago and I couldn’t figure it out. Around Oslo, it was ok - but the further north I went the rudeness got to the point where I just assumed they hated foreigners. I mean, REALLY HATED foreigners. I’m sure Australians can sometimes try people’s patience with our bullshit - but not being one of the drinking and loud type of Aussie, I wasn’t ready for the responses I was getting. I ended up cutting my trip short in Bergen, and headed back to Sweden! But I did love Oslo.
@@TheForbinExperiment I guess northern people are just differend kind of nice with a HUGE area of personal space. It is hard to describe, but if you will let them lead the speed of getting along they will open up and welcome you in their life. Friendship and social interactions are more thin and transparent here.
All of you people are strange and cold, same with Germans and Austrians. My friend told me (one is in Austria one is in Norway), that people there do not hangout randomly before they "announce" their arrival (maybe not all of the people, but plenty). Here we can just barge in our friends house, no need to announce our arrival. Also much more relaxed and less restrictions on the street what we can do and what we can not. People do not understand that because they used living in their countries and are oblivious how much restricted they are there.
I grew up in DC. I knew many Russian people who worked at the embassy and elsewhere. All really great people. Smart, classy, good family people, nice kids.
Yes. Very interesting people. And the ones who worked at the embassy? They seem to be particularly interested in Americans, in our government, in what we say, in our phone calls, in our fringe political parties, in the locations of our important industries -- especially the ones engaged in defense manufacturing. You will not meet people who want to know more about what goes on in American than those who work at the Russian embassy.
sounds like troll from leningrad.
@clutteredchicagogarage2720 Why watch at all ? Then scroll through the comments until you see a troll opportunity. Hilarious. no need for anyone to spy on America. America is imploding all by itself

We have the same thing with 'You' in Italian :) Doesn't translate in English, but works exactly as in Russian (I am studying the language)
The guy at the end was hilarious, nice touch.

I don’t think she realizes how the abnormal situation is affecting the way people perceive these mundanities right now. It’s unfortunate.
The Silent Hill music is always a great choice!
Well, regarding the whole "smiling" thing, we Americans hear this from foreigners from all over the world. Apparently, we must smile a lot. I don't know why. Maybe we are just happier? A common saying here in the USA is, "If you see someone without a smile, give him one of yours!"
Where are you from? It's not common where I live.
@@coreym162I haven’t heard that saying either. Maybe a generational saying - but would have to be an old generation. It’s not common with millennials and newer generations. Like at all.
А в России есть поговорка "Смех без причины - признак дурачины", интересно как это переведет гугл 🤣
Here in Finland, it is often said of someone who smiles or is somehow visibly happy that he is either drunk or American. The former will eventually sober up while the latter is beyond rescue.

I prefer rude honesty above artificial politeness. And you can be honest and blunt without use of any profanities in expressing yourself.
Profanities are accurate descriptions of many things in this world and their omission is an insult to reason.
@4:16 😂 maybe it’s just me, but I was crying with laughter after seeing that! I hope to visit all of Russia one day. 🤞🏻
When I see such a playground, it reminds me of a construction site 😉I liked that guy in the end, appearing like a ghost from the past with the Stalin T-shirt. Just like a vampire, they "admire" young women with a nice, white neck 😂But then he noticed your bodyguard...

Thanks Nesty, as usual entertaining and informative, Best wishes.
The stereotype about "beautiful women and ugly men" is common in Albania and many other non western places too
Everyone is brainwashed is the issue. Trying to compare the attractiveness of Men and Women on the same terms is like judging Summer and Winter or Night and Day the same way. Also it's all a matter of who's doing the judging? Men will automatically say "beautiful women and ugly men". If the women are saying it then, your nation is screwed. Like mine...
This gives the women a chance to leave their countries and go to normal places.
Thanks I'll go to Albania to find a wife. I don't want ugly wife.
In Maryland US its ugly women and good looking guys . So opposite .
I don't know how in Albania, but we have a lot of Romanians and Ukrainians in work and they are mostly both ugly - men and even women. 🙂 Mostly fat, wearing tracksuits and white socks. 😀
Me: Happilu clicks on this video
Also me: (instant regret)
