I absolutely agree! You are a perfect instructor, right at my level. You should record many, many more of these -- explain what Russian-language popular music says. Thank you!!
I'm now binging these translation videos, comparing the constructions :D Looks like over a thousand years of linguistic division changed less than I thought ;)
Correct me if I’m wrong(this is what I was taught in school) but I think that might be due to Poland used to be a part of Russia before ww1? So maybe that is why there is similarities in the language
Natalia, this video is perfect, I love the way you explained everything, you showed us the roots of the words, which helps a lot with the understanding of the meanings and also the memorization. To me personaly this is the best way to learn bcause it is really complicated to remember a bunch of words if theres nothing to kind of help with the associations. Im from Brazil and Im learning Russian, i love it sooo much that i study it at uni ahahhah Congratulations for your amazing video, you are a great teacher. And also, the domestic violence theme is super important to be brought to discussion, it is very serious and necessary, we women deserve respect. Thanks very much :3
Я тоже бразилец, живу в Бразилии сан-пауло, я адно изучаю русский язык 2 года, но ещё делаю много ошибок.когда я пройду онлайн курс русского языка, со мной все будет хорошо.
@@ricardocarmona5210 I’m Brazilian as well and I have some remarks: in Brazil the spoken language is Portuguese for we were colonized by Portugal. And yes, portuguese is similiar to spanish in many ways, especially brazilian portuguese to south american spanish.
Ic3peak is a wonderful band that touch hearts to end hatred and discrimination in Russia, and you are part of it. Thank you so much for this translation 💜💕
This is how I learned about you! 3 years ago I was introduced to IC3PEAK and devoured everything I could find, including this wonderful break down and explanation. I subscribed back then. Since then I have you have taught me so much I can't even tell you. I watch all your videos almost as soon as soon as I can. Thank you Natasha!! You opened to me the world of Russian culture (and counterculture) in music, RUclips vlogs. Please never stop making your videos. 🥰🥰🥰
As a person who wasn’t learning russian before I first found IC3PEAK I now am, and listening to russian songs has been one way to keep me learning IC3PEAK also has taught me about problems that are currently in Russia, and it’s very sad to know From the uk 🇬🇧
Thank you for this!! I’m not learning Russian, but I love learning about languages. I find it really interesting how you have both, the direct translation, as well as what this sentence would likely be phrased as if in English, thank you for that! This must have taken you a while ahahaha, but I’m sure it will help those learning Russian! (:
I noticed a little secret when using machine translation. He likes to reverse meanings. But you can immediately translate back what he translated. And control it.
I really respect you for bringing awareness to the domestic violence in Russia ): recently a Russian streamer tortured his pregnant wife on live stream and accidentally killed her and it was heartbreaking
@@muslimsocialist9310 I know ): it was encouraged too, he poured cold water on her and left her in the cold after beating her ..... he was payed by viewers to do it
@@joemamacool I actually remember that... that was horrible, I was so upset... how can people be like that, why would you pay to see someone being tortured to death??? In my opinion, all of them should get penalties, not only her partner...
even though I'm a native russian speaker I mostly lived in my whole life in the US and I do agree that IC3PEAK is a great band that brings light to all of the issues in Russia. Reminds me of a similar band here in the US called Grandson that does the same but with the issues in the US
I already know alot of russian, but ic3peak helped me not just know how to pronounce the words, but understand them. I will be forever grateful to Nastya and Nick for helping me speak to my russian friends/family. 😌
The doc with the whole translation is a masterpiece. Just wow, thank you so much for such a hard work!!! Please choose more songs that interest you and keep doing this wonderful work, this was very helpful, thank you
Довольно круто. Мне нравится как концепция - объяснение песен как у канала и сайта genius, так и вероятно цель продвинуть русскую культуру и показать её современность. Это круто. Исполнение неплохое, но думаю только улучшится
Я хоть и русская, но просмотр этого видео помог мне понять, как именно такой поэтический текст, да и в принципе любой, может быть переведен и переводится на английский. Очень интересно, что некоторые нюансы теряются в целях того, чтобы это был правильный и общеупотребительный текст на другом языке. Например, мне кажется очень поэтичным использовать icy bones вместо cold bones, или spread out\flow out вместо простого описания того, что мозги на стене. Это конечно право переводчика так делать и нельзя сказать какой перевод верный, но официальный перевод этой песни в субтитрах получился немного сухим.
Да, некоторые особенности теряются. Например, в песне "Марш" строчка "а в глазах тоска" переведена как "my eyes are deadly sad". Видимо, так сделано, потому что в английском языке слово "тоска" имеет другое значение. Всё же, из всех переводов, которые я находила, мне больше нравится тот, что в субтитрах. Я надеюсь, что его пишут либо согласовывают, сами IC3PEAK.
Да, любой текст можно перевести очень близко. Я, например, читал стихотворение Пушкина Зимнее утро (Мороз и солнце; день чудесный) на немецком, в переводе (с рифмой). Тут текст довольно простой в этом плане.
We have a similar proverb in Romania "bătaia este ruptă din rai" which means "beating comes from heaven". That's what parents tell their children after they complain after they were hit or mothers and fathers tell their daughters in a abusive relationships after they tell them about their abusive bfs or husbands. This is also an overly religious proverb because in fanatic households that would mean "God says so. So you must go through it."
Same in Croatian, “batina je iz raja izašla”... it’s frightening when you realise how many cultures have the similar proverbs which depict the same views on domestic violence. They actually thought that you can beat the “evil” out of children and wives to make them more obedient. That was something my mother used to say to me and she learned that from her parents (mostly her father, of course, they weren’t overly religious, but it’s a saying deeply rooted in our culture) and it was “normal” back then, but it is still apparent in our society. My grandfather was working two jobs, so he had strict rules, e.g. children could not eat when he eats, they had to be quiet in their room while he was at home, they couldn’t ask him anything because it was grandmothers’ job to raise the children. If my grandmother couldn’t keep the children quiet, he would hit her and beat his children until they learned how to be obedient and respect him. Children should not be raised in such fear. Many women in my country still tolerate domestic abuse because they’re scared of their husbands and families, not to mention the judgemental society where you’re worth less if you are not a “good” wife and they always blame women for not working on their marriage. Some women cannot leave because they depend on their husbands as they are only allowed to raise children and take care of the house. I hope things will change soon for the better.
Great video. I’m mixed Irish and Russian and learned Russian from my mother, but it’s so tough to explain things to people about Russian vocab sometimes. Thanks for the information. And the end of your video was perfect for this song. The domestic violence situation in Russia is horrible and you used this platform to shed light on a horrible situation that many overlook.
I just found the music video from a random youtube crawl and now i want to learn Russian and this cannot be any more perfect, you should seriously consider education like this as a career
I have been learning Russian for about 3 months now, and I LOVE your style of teaching. You break things down, explain different words that could have been used and you spoke slower when reading the lines. This made it very easy to see pronunciation and follow the speech. I'm barely 5 minutes in and I KNOW I will be revisiting your channel! Thank you so much.
A beautiful song about something that needs to be brought out into the open and spoken about so much more. Your translation gave the words so much more meaning and depth. Thank you.
Thank you for the video! I really like the explanations you did, how you broke it down and helped bring awareness to the issues the band was singing about. I am Irish/Ukrainian (mostly) and my family has lived in America for a few generations now. But how sad is it, that it is such a part of the culture, that my mother (who speaks almost none of the language and has never even been anywhere) has said a variant of "if he beats you, he loves you" to justify violence in the family, because that's what her father taught her. The normalization of it is truly terrifying.
I have been listening to Russian music for years but not really learning Russian... These kinds of videos are perfect for me - I think it's time I start properly learning!! haha : )
I am so very impressed with your linguistic competency, I should use the word "shocked". This is fast for me and technical, but never-the-less, I will watch it again.
Spasibo, thank you, for this. Wow, the song expresses many complex feelings. Some of the statistics that you share at the end are very scary. The traditions seem so unhealthy. I did learn a lot today. Keep safe!
Вау! Какая Вы молодец! Несмотря на то, что я носитель русского языка, мне было очень интересно смотреть это видео! Оенила Вашу точность и старательность, Вы здорово объясняете!
I have been studying Russian for several years (on line) and constantly I ask for literal translation so I can learn proper word order..........you are the first who is supplying literal translation, thank you.
Wow, incredible. I've never been interested in the Russian language itself... As an American woman the culture has always seemed a mystery to me, and I've unfortunately--but perhaps understandably, given your dissection--associated it with strong patriarchal values. It's really awesome to see your analysis of this kind of expression coming out of Russia and actually makes me much more curious about the Russian language and willing to approach it. :) Saying hello from Turkey and sending solidarity. ✊
Your analysis on IC3PEAK videos is lucid and well presented, with a cadence that is easy to follow in your explanations of the words, meaning, and intent of tone for the Russian language.
Omg I just discovered IC3PEAK a few months ago...what an incredibly talented duo and awesome bravery, creativity and art, and last but not least awesome music. I can't find many bands on this level
A casual viewer. I once wanted to learn some Russian but my Japanese sucked so I did not want to mix. As a Spanish speaker and Spanish language teacher, your grammatical and syntax explanations were super enlightening and in some things our languages are similar. Now I know why my Russian speaking students get Spanish grammar so fast!
This is amazing. Thank you so much! I started learning russian by translating ic3peak song better not to die (using lyrics written in russian and english translation, but also my mother tongue being a slavic language helps a lot). Just found this video and I am so excited to translate this song too. Please do more, love this. And once again, thank you so so much. I struggled with some pronunciation so this helps.
You really are nailling this teaching vibe, as if you were a school teacher or studied for it - grammar, syntax etc. Very well formed and informative take on the songs lyrics. Even for another slavic speaking person like me (Bulgarian) russian can be challenging. Keep up the great work
Never watched such a detailed and deep analysis of a song, enjoyed so much watching it !! I'm sure your channel will be a great tool for learning Russian, I'm so glad I found your channel ❤
I was learning Russian for a boyfriend in 2010. Ultimately it didnt work out but when I was doing it i went to Russian church and listened to Russian hip-hop. Theyre probably cringey now but Biyanka, nastya kimenskih and potap helped me learn. A little animation called "the dog door" was my favorite to watch. He was my first love 💚
That’s so sweet. :-)) I’m pretty much in the same situation, I’d like to learn Russian so I can speak with my SO’s grandmother who’s a Russian immigrant
My crush is of German-Ukranian heritage. She doesn't really speak Russian or Ukrainian. But, we both like bands like this. And we'll share some of these songs 🙂🖤
I love the video and that you're using it to create awareness about this topic. It is interesting to me that you have the saying "if he beats you, he loves you" - in Danish, we say "den man tugter elsker man" which translates to "the one you beat, (is the one) you love", and this may have come from the same issue. Luckily, in Denmark domestic violence is not socially accepted anymore and is in fact also illegal. The phrase is now jokingly said by older family when a child teases another child, and has lost the connotation of domestic abuse - at least to the younger generation, as I only just now (while watching your video) realized what it could have meant. I sincerely hope there will be progress in Russia with the law, so victims of domestic abuse will be more free, and there is a social pressure against it. In any case I enjoyed the video a lot and hope you will continue making more :) i think the Russian language is very beautiful and videos like this helps me appreciate and understand it even though I cannot currently take time to learn it.
This content is absolutely amazing. I am a native English speaker, currently learning Spanish through the school system. With school on my plate, learning Russian has been daunting, especially as I began wading the waters of grammatical rules. With your content, mixed with others, I believe that I can press on and eventually master it. Thank you so much for pouring your time and effort into this- it is very much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to give a detailed explanation for us Westerners to understand. It helps me to connect more with music around the world. Cheers and stay safe!
Right on, молодец. That is a very important message. I've seen this and a couple other of her videos. I've thought, how dark. But with you walking through what is being said, yea, the dark aspect is there to help express how it feels, what it's like being in a woman's shoes when life is like that. Thank you
So much learning in one video. Language skills. Analytical skills (many people don't know how to analyze the meaning in the lyrics of their favorite songs). Cultural information. And more. Well done.
I gotta tell you, this is pure gold. I was wondering (since I'm italian) what that song was about and honestly I couldn't find much infos online. This video caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting this level of details in explanation... Great job Natasha
What a great and detailed analysis of the text! I'm Czech and I can see that a lot of the root words are the same or very similar to our language but I don't understand the original Russian text anyway 😄 (but I completely understand your explanation 😉 )
Please do death no more next!! Found you because I really love IC3PEAK and your channel is fascinating to me. Thank you for teaching me more about my favorite music and Russia. Sincerely, a gal from North Carolina.
What an intelligent video. Song is great, very dark, makes 2pac sound quite jolly. But the way you tied it to the problem of domestic violence (rewind 30 years in the west and it was an emerging problem here too) was masterful. Great content, keep up the fantastic work.
Sending you my thanks from Canada! Your language review was extremely well done. I would love to see more future videos like this. I appreciate all of your help
I love your videos and recently binge watched most of them. It is amazing how similar our cultures are at the most basic levels yet our corrupt government/corporations (people in positions of power and control - businessmen/oligarchs) want to keep us divided. Not only on national levels but in our own counties too. Thank you for sharing your life and keep up the great work! I'm sharing a true honest smile to you (not a fake one).
Excellent video.. I recently just discovered IC3PEAK and I'm mesmerized by the lyrics in their music even though I don't speak a word of Russian. The very ending of your video was very eye opening. Well done!
Thank you, Natasha , this video is very helpful and informative. I appreciate how you pointed out the root word, and the case. I know only the alphabet and a few words, so this inspires me to learn more. Also, I love contemporary music in this style - what a powerful music video and song. Now I will listen to more of her music.
Excellent video.I loved the way you broke down the roots. I learned so much. Although though I struggle with the structure of the language your interpretations were very clear. The way you include Russian culture in you explanations is not only very helpful but extremely interesting. While Russia is sadly behind many other countries in it's awareness and understanding of domestic violence, I'm glad to see it coming to light. I have faith that the current generation will make great strides in making the changes nessesary to bring about the nessesary laws and protections to end these family injustices. Don't underestimate your role. You're doing a great service through videos like this. Thankyou.
Very cool group, strong visual impact (they reminds me "die antwoord") & lyrics about daily problems in Russia (and not only), let's hope something will change soon... Thanks for explanation, was really interesting )
thank you for the excellent explanation. The hardest things for non-native speakers of Russian to understand are song lyrics and poetry. This was very helpful especially understanding the roots of some of these words and your insights into why they were used in the song.
Actually I have no idea who are these guys and, I don't know if I have a really reason to learn some other language, but the way you explain and all the information you use was... incredible. I enjoy it and after all I learn some new things about Russian language. Just Thanks!
Woah, you're making me realise new things about Russian with your analysis! It's my half-native tounge (well, i can speak _some_ of it but i end up saying nonsense most of time because i have no hold on cases, spelling, nor conjugation (and i have plenty of words mixed-up in my head; "правилам" registers as "correctly" instead of "rules")).
Enjoyed this immensely. IC3PEAK sounds like a play on works for I SPEAK. I am just blown away by your command of the English language. You are obviously a very intelligent and artistic person. I wish you all the success in the world for your future endeavours. =]
I think the cheap price of vodka is a source of the problem of domestic violence. In Australia there's a huge correlation between alcohol abuse and abuse of women. Your explanation was brilliant.
Ive been learning it from various sources all over while i work at my job. RussianPod 101 is a good place to start. Ive been using the google translator too just to help pronounce certain words. I approach it like a baby learns their first words. Im not worried about spelling, just the words. Now im catching words in videos, all it takes is a trickle!! I love this language.
I've watched the music video dozens and dozens of times, learning bits of the lyrics at a time. I've now just discovered this video and I must say it's perfect: I've really loved the vocabulary analysis and in particular the highlighting of roots (разозлиться related to злой, it's so much easier to remember now!). Thanks for this, once I'm done learning this one, Марш is next
Natalia, Very Well Done! I very much enjoyed your complete translation of the song meaning and cultural interpretations. I also agree that changes are necessary to prevent domestic abuse. Mutual respect is of the highest importance. It is Never appropriate to resort to violence against the one you Love. I sincerely hope we can find tolerance and respect in our humanity. I very much enjoy your videos. for context, I am 72 year young man from Alaska. I have visited, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin Island, the Volga River, and was fortunate to study Russian in Rostov-on-Don for 3 months... sadly not long enough, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Russian People, including Pushkin and Checkov. :) I wish you Good Health and the Best of Luck for your future. Best Regards. Francis.
My love for Russia came at 12 with watching Doctor Zhivago (доктор Живаго) Then when I was 14 I fell in love with тatu. Now I know basic Russian and practice almost daily. I collect Russian books and record albums (I love Марина жюравлёва) . The language is absolutely beautiful. I only wish ties between Russia and the United States were so much better. You are awesome. Thank you for all the videos you do. Your work is so important.
Good work, this is a great way to learn a language. Violence against any person is wrong, its especially discussing when men hurt women. Men who hurt women are not men, they are cowards. Keep up the good work and never stop fighting for what you know is right.
I like how you touched on a relevant issue, and taught a lesson at the same time. Chomsky would be proud. :) Being a fan of bands like NIN, Rammstein, and and Marilyn Manson, I really dig the the genre of music too!
I came across this group recenty and fell in love and I'm so happy I found this video so I could feel the beauty of this artist even more! And I love the Russian language!!!
You have outdone yourself here, Natalia. I am very impressed with your clear translation of the Russian language into English. I do not speak Russian, but I do speak and write the Czech language, and I am constantly surprised by how many words are shared by the two languages. This goes beyond both having a Slavic route. Thank you, also, for introducing me to this thought-provoking song. To close, I hope that you are able to visit Alaska some day. You may know that the literal Czech translation for Alaska is 'a láska,' which, in English translates to 'and love' or 'and love you.' I hope that you find much love in your life. Your videos have warmed my heart, and I thank you for that.
Russian language has a word "ласка" (laska) - "tenderness, gentleness". Adjective "ласковый" (laskovyi) comes from it and means "gentle, kind, sweet". There's also a kind of archaic phrase "будь лаской" (bud' laskoi) that means "be a dear (and do smth)". And all I wanted to say is that word had been used as an endearment and is very close to "love" in meaning. I don't know where I was going with this, just a fun fact, I guess😅
Hi Natalia! I know a bit of Russian but definitely trying to learn more and this video was extremely helpful! Please make more! I feel like I’ve learned a lot of new words and it was so interesting!
I love your music and this video is awesome! I love all languages and I try to learn as much as I can. I was married to a very abusive person, I got away from him and never went back. He broke my bones and made me get stitches. It happens all over the planet, sadly. спасибо за это! пожалуйста, оставайтесь в безопасности! 💕 Mindy from Toronto, Canada 💕

Your translation gave the words so much more meaning and depth.
Thank you.
Thank you for the video! I really like the explanations you did, how you broke it down and helped bring awareness to the issues the band was singing about. I am Irish/Ukrainian (mostly) and my family has lived in America for a few generations now. But how sad is it, that it is such a part of the culture, that my mother (who speaks almost none of the language and has never even been anywhere) has said a variant of "if he beats you, he loves you" to justify violence in the family, because that's what her father taught her. The normalization of it is truly terrifying.
YESSS I've been wanting to see some more attention bought to IC3PEAK!!! Love this video!!!!!!!
I have been listening to Russian music for years but not really learning Russian... These kinds of videos are perfect for me - I think it's time I start properly learning!! haha : )
I am so very impressed with your linguistic competency, I should use the word "shocked". This is fast for me and technical, but never-the-less, I will watch it again.
Spasibo, thank you, for this. Wow, the song expresses many complex feelings. Some of the statistics that you share at the end are very scary. The traditions seem so unhealthy. I did learn a lot today. Keep safe!
Вау! Какая Вы молодец! Несмотря на то, что я носитель русского языка, мне было очень интересно смотреть это видео! Оенила Вашу точность и старательность, Вы здорово объясняете!
ну так и надо языки учить - на аналогиях. так постоены большинство курсов нормальных языковых.
I have been studying Russian for several years (on line) and constantly I ask for literal translation so I can learn proper word order..........you are the first who is supplying literal translation, thank you.
Wow, incredible. I've never been interested in the Russian language itself... As an American woman the culture has always seemed a mystery to me, and I've unfortunately--but perhaps understandably, given your dissection--associated it with strong patriarchal values. It's really awesome to see your analysis of this kind of expression coming out of Russia and actually makes me much more curious about the Russian language and willing to approach it. :) Saying hello from Turkey and sending solidarity. ✊
Your analysis on IC3PEAK videos is lucid and well presented, with a cadence that is easy to follow in your explanations of the words, meaning, and intent of tone for the Russian language.
Omg I just discovered IC3PEAK a few months ago...what an incredibly talented duo and awesome bravery, creativity and art, and last but not least awesome music.
I can't find many bands on this level
A casual viewer. I once wanted to learn some Russian but my Japanese sucked so I did not want to mix. As a Spanish speaker and Spanish language teacher, your grammatical and syntax explanations were super enlightening and in some things our languages are similar. Now I know why my Russian speaking students get Spanish grammar so fast!
This is amazing. Thank you so much! I started learning russian by translating ic3peak song better not to die (using lyrics written in russian and english translation, but also my mother tongue being a slavic language helps a lot). Just found this video and I am so excited to translate this song too. Please do more, love this. And once again, thank you so so much. I struggled with some pronunciation so this helps.
You really are nailling this teaching vibe, as if you were a school teacher or studied for it - grammar, syntax etc.
Very well formed and informative take on the songs lyrics.
Even for another slavic speaking person like me (Bulgarian) russian can be challenging.
Keep up the great work
Never watched such a detailed and deep analysis of a song, enjoyed so much watching it !! I'm sure your channel will be a great tool for learning Russian, I'm so glad I found your channel ❤
I was learning Russian for a boyfriend in 2010. Ultimately it didnt work out but when I was doing it i went to Russian church and listened to Russian hip-hop. Theyre probably cringey now but Biyanka, nastya kimenskih and potap helped me learn. A little animation called "the dog door" was my favorite to watch. He was my first love 💚
That’s so sweet. :-)) I’m pretty much in the same situation, I’d like to learn Russian so I can speak with my SO’s grandmother who’s a Russian immigrant
@@gremlinwithstickyhands3704 your youtube screen name sent me 😂😂😂 sticky hands. It's so worth it to learn, it's a great way to show respect.
My crush is of German-Ukranian heritage. She doesn't really speak Russian or Ukrainian. But, we both like bands like this. And we'll share some of these songs 🙂🖤
I love the video and that you're using it to create awareness about this topic. It is interesting to me that you have the saying "if he beats you, he loves you" - in Danish, we say "den man tugter elsker man" which translates to "the one you beat, (is the one) you love", and this may have come from the same issue. Luckily, in Denmark domestic violence is not socially accepted anymore and is in fact also illegal. The phrase is now jokingly said by older family when a child teases another child, and has lost the connotation of domestic abuse - at least to the younger generation, as I only just now (while watching your video) realized what it could have meant.
I sincerely hope there will be progress in Russia with the law, so victims of domestic abuse will be more free, and there is a social pressure against it.
In any case I enjoyed the video a lot and hope you will continue making more :) i think the Russian language is very beautiful and videos like this helps me appreciate and understand it even though I cannot currently take time to learn it.
кароче во всех странах такая хуйня исторически женщин бить. и только в россии и у мусульман это все еще практикуется...
Я прожила всю жизнь в России. И вроде бы мне не нужно это видео, но одновременно ты учишь английскому, так что.. Спасибо
This content is absolutely amazing. I am a native English speaker, currently learning Spanish through the school system. With school on my plate, learning Russian has been daunting, especially as I began wading the waters of grammatical rules. With your content, mixed with others, I believe that I can press on and eventually master it. Thank you so much for pouring your time and effort into this- it is very much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to give a detailed explanation for us Westerners to understand. It helps me to connect more with music around the world. Cheers and stay safe!
ic3peak is definitely what got me into wanting to learn russian. especially after finding other russian artists such as Хаски, Аигел, and Мы
The structure of Russian sentences makes so much more sense than English ngl
You are great at explaining the lyrics. I loved this video just because of you and your explanations for the translations. Thank you very much.
"I wish to hug you as I used to do"
is my favorite part of the song sounds beautiful
Right on, молодец. That is a very important message. I've seen this and a couple other of her videos. I've thought, how dark. But with you walking through what is being said, yea, the dark aspect is there to help express how it feels, what it's like being in a woman's shoes when life is like that. Thank you
So much learning in one video. Language skills. Analytical skills (many people don't know how to analyze the meaning in the lyrics of their favorite songs). Cultural information. And more. Well done.
Oh wow, this is fantastic. I didn't expect to find such a detailed video on the meaning and significance of the song. Thank you!
Great work! Translation is the only barrier for the world to understand and appreciate Russia.
I gotta tell you, this is pure gold. I was wondering (since I'm italian) what that song was about and honestly I couldn't find much infos online. This video caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting this level of details in explanation... Great job Natasha
alternative title
"learning russian through icepeaks lyrics"
I learned german through Rummstein lyrics
a whole series could be made
потрясающе) продолжайте поднимать важные темы, пусть о них знают и за пределами России
such a good video! Thank you, i'm trying to learn russian on my own and this was very fun, as I really appreciate Ic3peak musics :^)
What a great and detailed analysis of the text!
I'm Czech and I can see that a lot of the root words are the same or very similar to our language but I don't understand the original Russian text anyway 😄 (but I completely understand your explanation 😉 )
Please do death no more next!! Found you because I really love IC3PEAK and your channel is fascinating to me. Thank you for teaching me more about my favorite music and Russia. Sincerely, a gal from North Carolina.
What an intelligent video. Song is great, very dark, makes 2pac sound quite jolly. But the way you tied it to the problem of domestic violence (rewind 30 years in the west and it was an emerging problem here too) was masterful. Great content, keep up the fantastic work.
You should do more songs in the future, this is very nice.
Sending you my thanks from Canada! Your language review was extremely well done. I would love to see more future videos like this. I appreciate all of your help
I love your videos and recently binge watched most of them. It is amazing how similar our cultures are at the most basic levels yet our corrupt government/corporations (people in positions of power and control - businessmen/oligarchs) want to keep us divided. Not only on national levels but in our own counties too. Thank you for sharing your life and keep up the great work! I'm sharing a true honest smile to you (not a fake one).
Finally I've find such the greatest channel. Thank you !
Natasha, you are SO good at this !
This one is a gem.
Very helpful and interesting. Explained very clearly. Much appreciated !
Excellent video.. I recently just discovered IC3PEAK and I'm mesmerized by the lyrics in their music even though I don't speak a word of Russian. The very ending of your video was very eye opening. Well done!
Thank you, Natasha , this video is very helpful and informative. I appreciate how you pointed out the root word, and the case. I know only the alphabet and a few words, so this inspires me to learn more. Also, I love contemporary music in this style - what a powerful music video and song. Now I will listen to more of her music.
Is great that you give a lot of external references, which makes it easier to remember the words!
Excellent video.I loved the way you broke down the roots. I learned so much. Although though I struggle with the structure of the language your interpretations were very clear.
The way you include Russian culture in you explanations is not only very helpful but extremely interesting.
While Russia is sadly behind many other countries in it's awareness and understanding of domestic violence, I'm glad to see it coming to light. I have faith that the current generation will make great strides in making the changes nessesary to bring about the nessesary laws and protections to end these family injustices.
Don't underestimate your role. You're doing a great service through videos like this. Thankyou.
Very cool group, strong visual impact (they reminds me "die antwoord") & lyrics about daily problems in Russia (and not only), let's hope something will change soon... Thanks for explanation, was really interesting )
Yes
Me and my cousin are learning Russian because this
thank you for the excellent explanation. The hardest things for non-native speakers of Russian to understand are song lyrics and poetry. This was very helpful especially understanding the roots of some of these words and your insights into why they were used in the song.
Actually I have no idea who are these guys and, I don't know if I have a really reason to learn some other language, but the way you explain and all the information you use was... incredible. I enjoy it and after all I learn some new things about Russian language. Just Thanks!
Your teaching skills are awesome! This is way better than Duolingo :) Thank you!
I love this kind of video format, please continue to analyse more IC3PEAK videos/songs. You're doing a great job, these are *extremely* educational
Thank you! I'll do one on "Death No More" :D
Woah, you're making me realise new things about Russian with your analysis! It's my half-native tounge (well, i can speak _some_ of it but i end up saying nonsense most of time because i have no hold on cases, spelling, nor conjugation (and i have plenty of words mixed-up in my head; "правилам" registers as "correctly" instead of "rules")).
Enjoyed this immensely. IC3PEAK sounds like a play on works for I SPEAK. I am just blown away by your command of the English language. You are obviously a very intelligent and artistic person. I wish you all the success in the world for your future endeavours. =]
Awesome band introduction! cheers
This is the most in depth comprehensive Russian language video I’ve ever seen.
as someone who learns better through media, finding ic3peak was a massive motivation to learn more russian
I think the cheap price of vodka is a source of the problem of domestic violence. In Australia there's a huge correlation between alcohol abuse and abuse of women. Your explanation was brilliant.
I'm from Russia, trust me it's much deeper than just cheap vodka
Ive been learning it from various sources all over while i work at my job. RussianPod 101 is a good place to start. Ive been using the google translator too just to help pronounce certain words. I approach it like a baby learns their first words. Im not worried about spelling, just the words. Now im catching words in videos, all it takes is a trickle!! I love this language.
I've watched the music video dozens and dozens of times, learning bits of the lyrics at a time. I've now just discovered this video and I must say it's perfect: I've really loved the vocabulary analysis and in particular the highlighting of roots (разозлиться related to злой, it's so much easier to remember now!). Thanks for this, once I'm done learning this one, Марш is next
Ah, and since these are the only two songs you've covered, I need to say it would be amazing if you did more :)
Natalia, Very Well Done! I very much enjoyed your complete translation of the song meaning and cultural interpretations. I also agree that changes are necessary to prevent domestic abuse. Mutual respect is of the highest importance. It is Never appropriate to resort to violence against the one you Love. I sincerely hope we can find tolerance and respect in our humanity. I very much enjoy your videos. for context, I am 72 year young man from Alaska. I have visited, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin Island, the Volga River, and was fortunate to study Russian in Rostov-on-Don for 3 months... sadly not long enough, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Russian People, including Pushkin and Checkov. :) I wish you Good Health and the Best of Luck for your future. Best Regards. Francis.
Thank you for this, It is very interesting and helpful to understand the culture and society of russia. It must spend your so much time. Thank you~~!!
My love for Russia came at 12 with watching Doctor Zhivago (доктор Живаго) Then when I was 14 I fell in love with тatu.
Now I know basic Russian and practice almost daily. I collect Russian books and record albums (I love Марина жюравлёва) . The language is absolutely beautiful. I only wish ties between Russia and the United States were so much better.
You are awesome. Thank you for all the videos you do. Your work is so important.
Good work, this is a great way to learn a language. Violence against any person is wrong, its especially discussing when men hurt women. Men who hurt women are not men, they are cowards. Keep up the good work and never stop fighting for what you know is right.
I like how you touched on a relevant issue, and taught a lesson at the same time. Chomsky would be proud. :) Being a fan of bands like NIN, Rammstein, and and Marilyn Manson, I really dig the the genre of music too!
Hell yes! I have been looking for this type of translation as it’s so much easier to sentence formulate as a Russian learner. Thank you 🙏
I love the fact that im polish and i understand almost everythink you're saying in russian
I'm not even learning Russian but this video alone is helpful in understanding Russian grammar. So cool
I just found your channel ... I'm from Brazil and I'm studying Russian and I love the way you explain it! thank you so much!
очень хороший и качественный разбор! посмотрела от начала до конца, хотя изначально открыла видео просто из интереса
This is really good, I suggest you create more videos like this😃👍
I came across this group recenty and fell in love and I'm so happy I found this video so I could feel the beauty of this artist even more! And I love the Russian language!!!
You have outdone yourself here, Natalia. I am very impressed with your clear translation of the Russian language into English. I do not speak Russian, but I do speak and write the Czech language, and I am constantly surprised by how many words are shared by the two languages. This goes beyond both having a Slavic route. Thank you, also, for introducing me to this thought-provoking song. To close, I hope that you are able to visit Alaska some day. You may know that the literal Czech translation for Alaska is 'a láska,' which, in English translates to 'and love' or 'and love you.' I hope that you find much love in your life. Your videos have warmed my heart, and I thank you for that.
Russian language has a word "ласка" (laska) - "tenderness, gentleness". Adjective "ласковый" (laskovyi) comes from it and means "gentle, kind, sweet". There's also a kind of archaic phrase "будь лаской" (bud' laskoi) that means "be a dear (and do smth)". And all I wanted to say is that word had been used as an endearment and is very close to "love" in meaning. I don't know where I was going with this, just a fun fact, I guess😅
Glad you explained the meaning of the song. Great job explaining the grammar. Domestic violence is never ok.
Fascinating : culture, language, philosophy and so much more. This was a great idea, I've never seen someone do quite what you have done here.
Hi Natalia! I know a bit of Russian but definitely trying to learn more and this video was extremely helpful! Please make more! I feel like I’ve learned a lot of new words and it was so interesting!
Привет Наташа, пожалуйста снимай такие видео. Это очень полезно для изучения. Спасибо огромное
Не могу перестать смотреть просто потому что очень нравится!!!! Надеюсь, это правда поможет кому-то учить русский. Шикарно)
I love your music and this video is awesome! I love all languages and I try to learn as much as I can.
I was married to a very abusive person, I got away from him and never went back. He broke my bones and made me get stitches. It happens all over the planet, sadly.
спасибо за это! пожалуйста, оставайтесь в безопасности!
💕 Mindy from Toronto, Canada 💕
Glad you are safe now. Thank you. Take care.
You have such a great way of teaching. And explaining topics of your videos. Nobody should have to live in fear of violence.
