Russian words that Americans mispronounce: **
So true 😂
Yep.
So true. I literally tried to tell that “samOyed” is not how you pronounce a Siberian dog breed “samoYEd”. It’s a dog, not an Arabic prince!
Thank you so much to Asol for being a great teacher and doing your best to help me with these words! I’m sorry I was not good at pronouncing Russian words, but I’m really happy that I had the opportunity to learn more about the Russian language and culture thanks to Asol! I hope to continue learning and I hope others also have an interest in learning more about Russia 🇷🇺 ♥️
If I just saw this last name, I would probably have assumed a slavic ancestry 😋 Scherbin is a perfectly fine russian last name! ;) Thank you for trying out our pronunciation, Emma, you did so great and now you know more than an average American! You can outsmart your peers and gain points with us russians any time now hehe! Well done! 💚🖖
BTW, Do you know your name is russian?
You're doing so great and you here made a new best friends just me and this platform is a place you create friends for life. This is first Time I see an American bonding with a Russian. it is surreal and it is something beautiful.
Rusia.
Is it possible to find out if you are communicating with Asol now?
Russia yaaaaay. Slovak here, been learning Russian for 4 years now and it's a beautiful language!
I can definitely agree with that!!!
Привет славянским братьям Словакам из России. :)) Greetings to the Slavic brothers Slovaks from Russia. :))
@@Doctor.Whommm привет, очень приятно))
Привет fellow Slovak 😉 I started to learn Russian a couple of years ago, but I forgot everything. So a couple of months ago I decided to re-learn Russian. A long time before the war began. I love learning Russian. It is fun. Пока
Language murders
Is it just me or Emma 🇺🇲 and Asol 🇷🇺 look like twins who live in different countries ?
They kinda have a similar face shape and similar skin/eyes colour.
Not to me. Especially nose looks different
The word BAKLAVA is a word derived from Mongolian and passed into TURKISH.
❗ Turkish foods (baklava, yoğurt, cacık, döner, İskender, kebab, dolma, sarma, mıhlama, beyti etc.)
😂😂no wonder it has so many vowels,,it doesn't sound Russian
@@davianoinglesias5030 why you talk about vowels?
Достоевский - DOstOYEvskIY
capital letters are vowels
In general, I think it's quite rude to steal food.
you do realise russia is not made of only russian slavic people, yeah? theres turkish and way more
@@rainbows5232 Baklava is unique to the city of Gaziantep and spread to Turkey from there, it has nothing to do with Russian lands and autonomous strong Turkish republics there.
The hard thing is try to translate an especially word of a language in a language that is totally different , wether the pronunciation or vocabulary
Yes that is so true! The English alphabet is very different from the Russian alphabet so when Russian words are spelled using the English letters it is quite different from the actual pronunciation!
I was guessing the pronunciation of 'Russia' was going to be different than I thought, and it was. Similar to attending grade school seeing 'Iraq' on the map, and everybody pronounced it, I-rack. I get involved with the country, and the native pronunciation is Ee-rock.
Poor Emma. 😄 Assol asks her very sternly. Moreover, words that are written in translation, and not transliteration, one can only guess how they sound in Russian. Such as "baklava" and "Russia".
But Emma did a great job. Some words, she even pronounced well enough from the first time, even though Asol corrected her.
In any case, the main thing is not to ask Emma to say the words "defending" and "cone dryer machine" in Russian.😆
On the other hand, we cannot pronounce some combinations of sounds from English in Russian without sooo long practice.
Бедная девушка) Асоль как то очень строго с нее спрашивает. Тем более, слова, которые написаны не в транскрипции, прочитать на русском можно, только если знаешь русский вариант. Как с "пахлавой" и "Россией".
В любом случае, Эмма прекрасно справилась. Некоторые слова она даже достаточно хорошо выговаривала с первого раза, хоть Асоль её и поправляла.
Но главное не просить ее произнести "защищающиеся" или "шишкосушильная машинка". 😆
С другой стороны, мы на русском не можем произнести некоторые сочетания звуков из английского языка без ооочень долгой практики.
The difficulty in translating to English is the lack of accents on the letters in English to signify a change of sound.
That is so true!
Good choice by the World Friends , someone from Russia 🇷🇺 , next : some memes about Russia
In former Soviet Union, video watches you.
For example russians and those reaction on F-16 or FPV drones?
Second video that i see without Christina and Lauren , i kind of miss them , but it's good and funny see other people from another countries
I agree that Christina and Lauren are great, but thank you for also seeing perspectives from Asol and I!
As an Azerbaijani who speaks and can pronounce all words in russian without any problems, I feel lucky.
Yes, I speak Azerbaijan too! I know Russian and Azerbaijan and it very easy for me to talk on both of the languages and I feel lucky too I agree with you!
I speak Russian and people never believe me when I tell them how Владимир or Россия is actually pronounced.
I used Google translate and both Vladimir and Russia is close to how we say them in Swedish.
@@reineh3477we do not say Rossiya in Swedish
@@esclovisa I said "close" not "exactly the same"
@@reineh3477 We say Ryssland. That is not so close
@@esclovisa vad är det du inte fattar? Svenska - ryska är närmare varandra i uttal än engelska - ryska. Det är sättet vi uttalar orden på. Varför tror du Hollywood ofta använder svenskar när någon ska spela ryss i en film?
Nice to see Emma on this channel as a new American, hopefully in the future there will be Emma again.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to have this opportunity and to work with a great person like Asol :)
I'm glad to see these two again, they're both amazing!😊❤️
Wow thank you so much! We’re happy to be here!!!
Put the Russian and Polish girls together! That might be fun ☺️

Ask some Warsaw natives about whether they prefer the Arctic or the Antarctic. It's a poll of Poles on poles.
There are other websites for that sort of thing.
And dont forget German

Thank you so much! We’re both so happy to have this opportunity!
I study Russian language at university sometimes Russian pronunciation is bery hard but interesting 😆
Speaking Russian is a unique language to speak and impressive speaking as well 🇷🇺❤️

Well, it's more like the Russian language, the correct pronunciation is immediately shown, I really liked it😀🤩
Асоль - молодец 👍👍
She is a great and patient teacher! She didn’t give up even after I made so many mistakes 😂
@@emmasherbine5938 But, You did it very good. 👍 That was difficult words 😂
I like this type of episodes.
😅😅We demand more Russian episodes,,Russian is just so fun to listen to, I'm also a big fan of the Waltzes and the Soviet Nationalist liberation songs
I definitely agree! I had so much fun!
Chebyshev. It's actually "che-bi-SHOV", the middle vowel doesn't exist in English, and the "v" at the end is devoiced.
“Bye-bye” in Russian: *is spoken*
People in Japan: “NANI?!”
now you need to do Russian - Polish paring
I knew that in Russian Russia was said ra-see-ya but I didn’t put 2 and 2 together that it’s the same thing in English letters 😂
As a Brit leaning Russian, if you want to get someone's tongue tied, try getting them to pronounce the Russian for "in Europe". That one is tricky to say the least. On another note I was looking for something I heard ages ago and have since forgotten, it is either the Russian for "read" or "write" that can be easily mispronounced to mean something entirely inappropriate so if anyone can help me with that I would be most obliged.
It’s “write” in Russian it translates as “писать”, but if you put emphasis on a wrong vowel you’ll get “to piss” instead of “write”
писАть - to write
пИсать - to piss
I think the video is awesome. But a small note : Baklava is a Turkish word❤️🌹💕
Is really beautiful to watch two indivuals being harmful and respectful to each other, no need to be vulgar or mean, so people wont be afraid to make any mistake or feel it would upset the other person by mis prononce a word, this is the truth representation of each country that constanly are in conflict by politics. Excelent guests, hope see them again!
I definitely agree :) I was so happy to learn more about the Russian language from such a kind, wonderful person like Asol!
I am from Moldova and I can speak and understand Russian
And now that this channel has grown so much,, I think its time to feature people from other regions like Latin America, Africa, Scandinavia, Asia and middle east
Baklava is not even russian sweet...
Its a Türkiş sweet
@@monarchyofjackalliancesind3937 I know, this is why I mentioned it
@@Al-jw5kf Oh, ok. But I think baklava is highly popular in Russia? 🙄🤔
@@monarchyofjackalliancesind3937 yes, it is, as in other ex soviet countries, but in my opinion more “Russian” words must be used for this kind of video. There are a lot of widely used Anglicisms in Russian, but they didn’t pick it because they are not proper for this topic.
@@Al-jw5kf Yeah
i love your channel. you are suitable for youtube. I teach Russian
What bugs me is Khrushchev, which is actually Hrushyóf
The first time I saw Putin's name I immediately saw it was one letter short of a rather pungent French vulgarity and I've never been able to unsee that.
Putain?
I like this videos. Please bring back Kotoha, Jane and Hye Jin. More of this two girls and Lauren and Cristina. Please!
Yes it was a long time since we saw Kotoha, Jane and Hye Jin.
Russian sweetness is pryanik and belevskaya pastila.
I enjoy these new girls. 👍🏻 Some of those words sound difficult to say! The Russian 'n' sound is pretty unique. I think any American would have to practice it a lot.

Is he supposed to look angry? I can’t tell. He always looks the same to me 😂

Also English: strengths
Great video, but why did you choose the word "baklava" if it's not an original Russian word or original Russian food?
We call it “pahlava”, but of course that’s not Russian food)
👍
Maybe can do difference between English and Russian pronounciation?
1:26 That comment aged sadly well… :(
I know Russia very well, especially masha and the bear
🤣
Где все русские коменты?

The worst must be Czech. A group of consonants can give a totally different sound than expected and they have special consonant such as š for instance. You can never guess how to pronounce.
1:00 The plural form of matryoshka (матрёшка) is matryoshki (матрёшки).
i gotta say, baka baka is not the most attractive way to say bye bye.
It's actually "poka" or "paka" depending on the accent. ^))
"poka" or "paka", not "baka".
This video has aged like a fine wine...
Pres. Putin is pronounced as Pres. PUT-IN by my fav stand up American comedian.
She was good
For the first i thought they were twins
And then someone had to translate it into Korean
Pshhh Arsol being like oh russian consonants are so haaard gurl look at polish, there be a million times more of those.
The way guntubers say Degteryev can't be right. But I can't be arsed looking it up.
I really want to compare my language to Russian, because I am Bulgarian and the Bulgarian language is quite similar to the Russian language ,but the difference is the pronouncing of the words and many of the words(of course). I am half Russian and unfortunately I don't know the language. Bulgarian is actually the first official slavic language and I know that not many people are aware of that fact . The Russian alphabet is also like the Bulgarian one ,but the russians added 3 additional letters , I think. The Cyrillic (bulgarian) alphabet has 30 letters and the Russian alphabet has 33 .
Привет братьям болгарам!
There are good videos on RUclips that compare our languages using the example of live native speakers, and tell about the translator's false friends. The most famous one I know is "булка". In Russian it is a product made of bread, in Bulgarian it is "bride".
There is also an inter-Slavic language, which is well understood by almost all Slavic peoples.
Меджусловјанскы јест језык, кторы Словјани разных народностиј користајут, да бы комуниковали једин с другым. То јест можно, ибо словјанске језыкы сут сходна и сродна група. Знанје једного језыка обычно јест достаточно, да бы имєло се приблизно разумєнје о чем јест текст на којем-небуд другом словјанском језыку. Хвала столєтјам близкого сусєдства Словјани добро знајут, како договорити се с другыми Словјанами с помочју простых, импровизованых нарєчиј.
Now about occupation and rule russians in every wars "to be jerks"m
@bodyaboda8148 what does this has to do with my comment
in Arabic the v in Baklava sounds like a w. thats the proper way to say it
sicne when is baklava russian??
I was hoping they would finaly say the right pronunciation of Ivan... :( I cringe every time I hear it in English movies.
Asol is in itself a funny enough word for Americans...
Wait Baklava is a Turkish word for a Turkish dessert lol
I was shocked when Baklava was there lol cause it's not Russian
Believe me, as a Russian, I was also shocked.)) Such a "typical Russian" word. Hehehe
Russia is a bit of an odd pick. Because unlike all the other words, Russia is an English word and not a Russian word, hence, there's no correct Russian pronunciation for it. I see the reason why you added it, but I think the American girl got confused, her pronunciation of Russia was perfect - it's an English word. If you wanted to check her pronunciation of the Russian version then it should have been written "Rossiya" and not "Russia", like all the other words before.
I agree. It's the same with baklava, which is also called the wrong way, and it's generally unclear why it was inserted. Because it's a Turkish word.
ackchually
World Friends wants to choose AcidJazz and John Deley's Supreme
Putin was watching you😂
Ah, I wasn't the first comment. Maybe next time ..
Who is learning russian now? Let's coloboration)))
since when baklava is russian word??
Missing Christina and Lauren. They’re the real mvps of this channel
Don't be so tactless. This video is whole different ball game. It can't be compared with stuff Lauren and Chrustina do
While Christina and Lauren are the best, it's nice to have some others from time to time, these two did a good job.
They are good but the channel is called "WORLD friends" not just USA and England......they have to do more international videos its more interesting.
What about Uzbek language? Have you heard about this?
Always USA and Europe. What about Latin America?
Russian language is very tricky for Europeans.
They have four different ‘’s’’ sounds and other three different ‘’ch’’ sounds which we cannot hear!
A Russian person can understand the difference of a s, or sss, or shh… sound but in our ears are all the same!
Another thing that it was crazy for me is the fact that the vowels have different pronunciation if the are stressed or not in a word!!!
I haven’t seen that rule in any language that I know!
For example:
O is pronounced like o when the stress is on it but when the stress is on another letter then o is pronounced like a…
Bolsói is actually pronounced as Balsói…
Also, why the whole world knows these dolls as babuskas???
In Hellas we also call them babuska…
Is the Russian alphabet easier for you as a Greek? As I understand it, they took/modified a lot of your letters for Cyrillic. As an English-speaker who is working on Russian, I still sometimes have a hard time forcing my brain to look at something that I see as a "B," and read it as a "V," for example. Or the letter that looks like a an English "P," but is read as an "R."
@@frigginjerk kinda…
As you said, the Cyrillic alphabet was created by two brothers from Thessaloniki that later were declared Saints by the Orthodox Church.
Κύριλλος and Μεθόδιος / Kírilos and Methòdios.
Kírilos > Cyrillic alphabet
These two brothers created the alphabet to convert the Slavic nations to Orthodoxy.
The alphabet is based on the Hellenic alphabet.
Many letters are the same and some are upside down
N > И
Λ > Л
Δ > Д
I would say that even though we have a lot more letters in come we are not so familiar with it and it’s not that easy for us to read something in Cyrillic.
Though, Cyrillic is phonetic so if you learn what sound makes each letter it must be easy but again I wouldn’t say that its that easy for us.
Most of us we learn English at school so we are getting more familiar with the Latin/English alphabet from a young age.
Yes, P is Π in Hellenic
R is Ρ
Β is V
And μπ is B like ball
The word alphabet is actually alfavíta in Hellenic
Αα = άλφα / àlfa
Ββ = βήτα / víta
It became alpha-bèta because B isn’t V in English.
Asol has an accent herself, def not a native, maybe she left Russia as a child or has Russian parents. And her name is not Russian
Нет, это не так. Она произносит вполне нормально
Technically the way she pronounce the words were correct in English because the Russian words were the English version. For the Fyodor Dostoyevsky that is the English version. The Russian version is Fedor Dostoyevskiy.
Yeah, but "Baklava" is definitely not a Russian word. It's a Turkish/Turkic word, although russians have this word in their language that is borrowed from other Turkic languages like Azerbaijani, Turkmen, and etc which is "Pakhlava".
If I'm not wrong "baka baka" means "stupid stupid" in Japan
Mangas😂😂😂
also an L1 English speaker complaining about consonant clusters is hilarious
English: strengths
Russian: chlenstv
A Russian would have even more trouble pronouncing "strengths", as /ŋ/ and /θ/ don't exist in Russian.
Of course English also has consonant clusters/blends too.
The video has a lot of edits/cuts but what I meant to say when I was asked what is difficult is the consonant blends as phonetically spelled in English because it’s not accurate in accordance to the Russian alphabet/sounds so it’s hard to pronounce correctly.
Hope that explains what I meant 🙂
@@emmasherbine5938 The emphasis in Russian is tough, too. I was like 30 when I found out that a Russian guy is not VLAD-i-mer, like we say it in the US, but rather vlad-EE-mir. Languages like Swahili set rule for which syllable to emphasize, and then stick too it no matter how weird it makes a word sound. And Spanish uses the accent marks to tell you when it's breaking its own rules. Russian and English are both like, "Bah, nuts to that. Figure it out in your own."
@@emmasherbine5938 oh, I wasn't trying to say you were wrong per se, it's just that among major world languages English is notorious for having utterly absurd consonant clusters.
As for the problem you were having? It's a longstanding problem in transliteration of Russian into the Latin alphabet. The question is always fidelity to the nominal sounds of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet and orthography vs accurate phonetic transcription. It doesn't help that there are things happening in the Cyrillic alphabet that just don't have an obvious Latinization, most notably the hard sign and soft sign.
@@Serenity_Dee oh I didn’t know that! Thank you so much for explaining! Now I have a better understanding!
gimme more)
Baklava is turkish word that derived from arabic. Russian has nothing to do with this word
if it's from arabic it can't be turkish
We love baklava in Serbia also...
Turkish loaned it from Arabic and Russian loaned it from Turkish
Believe me, we Russians know this. But the authors of the video, apparently not. :))
Asol: "bye bye in Russian is baka baka"
Japanese people: lol
It's actually "poka" or "paka" depending on the accent... But then the joke wouldn't work :))
They get rid of "Zettai Ryouiki" by covering Emma's legs, so "baka-baka" is the only thing left for the Japanese ^_^
And Backlava in not Russian dish and etiologically not Russian word. It just got very popular in Russia

baklava is turkish

BAKLAVA is TURKISH. When i saw here in Russian words, i laughed so loudly.Stil laughing ahahhahahahahahahahahah
Wow. As an American, listening to the American woman talk is somewhat embarrassing. It's almost as if she can't string together a complete sentence without the word "like" in it multiple times. I suggest you put me in a video with the Russian lady and let challenge each other to pronounce words in our respective languages.
I didn’t know baklava was a Russian word or origin. Where I live in the USA, a lot of bakeries and Meditation restaurants make them. I like them but only one or two because they are very sweet.
it isn't
That’s not Russian food, and we call it “pahlava”

Title is funny cause the average Americans don’t speak Russian so how they mispronounced words they don’t used
