Thank you very much Lina! At 5:00, you say that we will never see ж, ш, ц with a soft sign but I see words ending in -шь all the time, such as the noun мышь, and all the ты forms of verbs (ты видишь, ты любишь, ...). Could you explain this please? Is it just some historical spelling?
Yes, you’re actually right, I forgot about this completely. My bad! But what happens here and what I meant to say is that the pronunciation of the sound ш doesn’t change. Ь doesn’t make it softer because it’s impossible. Ш / шь will sound exactly the same.
@@LinasLessons Thank you Lina! So is -шь some historical spelling? I know that in 1917-18 there was a big spelling reform, notably the redundant -ъ was removed from all word endings.
@VerticalBlank yes, we have different rules for this spelling. For instance, we always write the soft sign at the end of verbs, but in similar situation for pronouns (наш, ваш) we don’t write it 😊
@@LinasLessons Thank you Lina! I am English and our spelling rules are much more irrational. Anyway, my Latvian-Russian girlfriend says that omitting the soft sign at the end of ты forms of verbs is a sign of bad education.
Excellent explanation, for the first time I really understand the idea of this softening consonants sign.
Glad to hear that! ☺️
Very usefull and instructive lesson 😊
Thank you! 😊
Thank you very much Lina !!! Very important lesson.
You are welcome!
I remember this nursery rhyme:
Хитрый знак. Мягкий знак хитрый знак. Не сказать его никак,. Он не произносится.
Но в слово часто просится….
Very good lesson Lina😊

@@VerticalBlank that’s true!
Wow
Very good lesson. Not really sure about the pitch though. Is it really higher? When I speak it's the same pitch
I guess I need practice, this seems a little difficult.
Sure, everything needs practice!
