English is too simple a language. The more endings there are, the more picturesque the language is

Oh hell no. It's always easier to learn 6 cases than to pronounce words like THROUGH and THROW in a sentence, without biting off half your tongue in the process

As a native english speaker I find russian to be easier than english in terms of pronounciation because because each word is pronounced how it looks

@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 Yes, definitely, though Russian has lots and lots of slight vowel reductions and consonant switches, that make speaking process easier but not until you Master them. Just like, say, Portuguese. You can do without reduction at all, but it sounds robotic.

@@fuffuf4326 nah I grew up in the US and went to American schools and learned English and it's still hard

And another hint: In Russian we can say just only verb (for example: ушёл, моюсь, подойду, любила. And another human can understand time of verb and (some time) gender too.

Finns and russians are actually relatives cause slavs intermarried with finno-ugric tribes when Rus was founded

As a portuguese speakers, they make sense to me too, but sounds fulltime formal speaking

@@Admin-gm3lc it's only the case with northern Russians. With central and southern Russians not so much. At least that's what genetic researches say.

Just bingewatch Russian KZfaq, that'll make you a Master

Just start talking with some Russian. With errors, with mistakes. First You need sense of language.

Eat the elephant bit by bit :) You can handle it!

I started learning Russian a few months ago and find it invaluable that I changed my google voice to text translator to Россия. So when I speak the word I can see if I'm remembering the word and enunciating it correctly. (Bonus: I learn a new word everytime I pronounce something wrong) 🙂

Ohh this is neat! Thanks for the tip

My main language is Portuguese and we also do have many conjugations but I'm still genuinely surprised at the fact that there's 36 different conjugations for something. Like wtf. I guess when you spend enough time with a language you don't need to study grammar, but damn.

@@gabrieldantas63 If conjugation just means , modification of words, then there's even more "conjugations" than you can even imagine. For example changing that adj, "красивый" to a verb "красоваться" adds another layer and a whole another world of "conjugations". Russian language is very flexible and the funny thing is that it was even more complex (flexible) in the past before the 1917 revolution, when they removed a few letters and removed the extra "calling case/form" too.

The meaning that's being conveyed is actually too complex to put it into words, and would take a long time, and even then it would be too hard to understand. Best way is to get the feeling of what meaning it is trying to convey... or not the meaning per se but rather the mood and your relation to the subject of/in the sentence. i.e. мужчина = a male . мужчинка = a sloppy/silly/cute/weird male, мужчинушка = a very personal and dearly loved male. мужик = real male. мужичок = weird/not quite male ... or something like that, the meaning is somewhat fluid and depending on the context , depending on the way it is said, on your accent , punctuation (pauses), situation , as well as by whom and in what situation it is being said, can change it's just enough so to make it convey just the right mood or emotion.

Google translation is drunk. It translated “Arabic” as “Английский” (English)

Wow, this such a valuable piece of information for me, since in my native Polish it is exactly the same. Thank you!

Well virtually nobody in Russia can see that because there're no -л -adverbs- participles anymore as well as no modal verb with perfect. So what used to be Present Perfect with (быть+V-л) transformed into a just qurky past tense. Like the entire verb structure fell apart and was built anew, with perfect and imperfect forms and adverbs instead of past tense. Furthermore, the difference between short and long adjectives and participles is that long adj are short ones with definite articles (but after the word. like in Bulgarian) that appeared in the speech for like a century or two and immediately glued up to the ending of the adjectives.

@@Itoyokofan I'm extremely confused by what you've said. Can you give a good example?

@@korana6308 "усталый" is a long adjective/participle, but "устал" is a short one. Compare "Он вчера был красивым" - "он вчера был красив" With "Он вчера был усталым" - "он вчера был устал" "был устал" form is a remnant of what used to be a group of participles ending with a suffix -л instead of -вш- The difference between "был устал" and the old Russian Perfect is that "был" is actually a participle itself. Back than it used to be "устал есмь". Eventually everyone started to use Perfect instead of all other past tenses and the modal verb "есмь" disappeared. The full form of adjective/participle "был/была/было" is "былой/былая/былое", but the short one "был" is always used only as verb, while full one "былой" cannot be used ever as a verb. The phrase "он вчера был устал" is grammatically correct, but really confusing, because everyone is used to see -л forms as verbs, so you usually rephrase that as "он вчера был уставшим/усталым".

As for short/long adjectives/participles, all adj used to be short and all used to inflect (И:нов/ Р:нова/ Д:нову/ В:нов/ Т:новым/ П:нове) modern short adjectives do NOT inflect. At the same time there were pronouns like "й" that inflected as (И:й/ Р:его/ Д:ему/ В:ему/ T:им/ П:ем). That pronoun later on one hand became the inflections of the pronoun "он" (он/его/ему/им/нём), while on the other hand merged together with the inflection of the short adjective (И:новый/ Р:нового / Д:новому/ В:новому/ Т:новым/ П:новом). So it was like И:"нов конь" - "нов+й конь" -> "новый конь" Р: "нет нова коня" - "нет нова+его коня" -> "нет нового коня". Д: "дать нову коню" - "дать нову+ему коню" -> "дать новому коню" etc. These pronouns (й, я, е) used as a sort of a definite article that was put after the adjectives instead of forms like "тот/этот" (that) in Bulgarian.

Russians doesn't learn it

We don't have to learn it, it's our native language.

So you don't have to memorize anything at all- like all the endings for nouns and adjectives and plurals. You just pick it up as you go when you're a kid.. It's pretty amazing. We do that in English, too, I guess.

@@TMD3453 duh, that's how you learn to speak in the first place. Or did you think that all babies first learn to speak English and then learn the local language?

@@TMD3453 Some (or the most of? IDK) English speakers don't even know that hundreds of verbs like "go-went-gone" are irregular and we have to memorize them. Next, it's not enough to get something in English, you have to get it in, out, on, over, ... You know them but we have to memorize phrasal verbs word by word, case by case. Being an English speaker, you've learned so much so you don't feel English is as complex as it is. So does a Russian native speaker. A native Russian speaker is sure that there are only 13 irregular verbs (we learn 13 verbs that confuse even a native speaker) and Russian is simpler than English because we have no phrasal verbs and have just 3 tenses instead of 12 tenses plus several ones for passive voice in English. However, for some reason (an ordinary Russian can't imagine, why), foreigners complain about long lists of irregular verbs and tons of illogical prefixes that change the meaning.

case names don't mean anything for native speakers either)))

I advise you not to pay attention to the cases, at this stage, it is better to learn whole phrases. Even if you use the wrong case in a conversation, they will understand you, and this is the main thing.

I think you can get BeFluent Russian lessons from their website.

Depends on noun. Masculine,feminine pr neutral. Instead of как is used какой/какая/какое in these cases. Какое красивое озеро. Какая красивая картина. Как is used for neutral and in general. It's beautiful. It's interesting.

@@olegpetrov2617 Thanks Oleg! 🙏🏻

@@roelheijmans You're welcome.

какой красивый закат как красиво выглядит этот закат

How beautiful (this is)!=Как (это) красиво! (about the sunset or something else, in general; the gramatical gender of the object doesn't matter) // What a beautiful sunset!=Какой красивый закат!

It's actually not exactly "a" but it does sound like it, and yes it is normal in a normalized , generalized Russian. There are ofcourse accents and different forms of pronunciation, that will sound like an "o", but you will most likely never meet them in your life. So unless it's a stressed vowel, the sound in a spoken Russian language , always changes to almost an "a".

I used to be confused about it. Then my friend told me that it's because I pronounced 'L' wrongly. Try saying стол, first with the tip of your tongue ending the L behind your teeth. Then do it again (for the correct way) with the MID of your tongue behind your teeth. You will find that the second way makes the 'o' sounds like 'a'

Novgorodian pronunciation - "o" is always "o", muscovite pronunciation - "o" is "o" if only stressed, otherwise "a"

Simple rule. Unstressed O gives A sound. Stressed O gives O sound.

Russian Л is derived from Greek letter Lambda Λ

This goes back to the history of the development of Cyrillic typography..So in the 18-19 century, they came up with the shape of the letter "Л" with a straight right stich and an inclined left..this was used for advertising in newspapers, for signage and other things..At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a process of searching for simple universal forms, simple triangular and trapezoidal forms became relevant, and then these forms developed in parallel..In the Russian language, the rectangular form has become the main form, and others are used as tools of expressiveness..After the reform, the triangular form was fixed in the Bulgarian language, and the rectangular form is not used..

@@fuffuf4326 thank you! I actually just joined this youtuber’s website program and the alphabet he provided had the L like the upside down v- I did look up after I commented though that the upside down v is the cursive version of л so I understand it now a bit better but cursive writing in Russian is too much for me to learn right now haha

@@airbus_a320neo thank you! I also found out it’s the cursive form for л

It depends on a sentence. You definitely would be able to say something that is incorrect, weird to hear, but makes perfect sense. E.g. "Вчера продавец спрашивать я: надо пакет или нет." = "Yesterday seller ask me: need bag or not." We know when it was, who asked, who was asked and what was asked. One can change the order of words pretty randomly, but it feels like subject-verb-object is the default option. This will help you. However, cases is what overrides the order. E.g. "я купить фирма" would be understood as "I've bought a company" but "меня купить фирма" would be understood as "a company bought me". There are a lot of trickier cases. Messing up with prepositions makes a sentence less understandable. E.g. "я идти на Лондон для месяц" (instead of "я еду в Лондон на месяц" - "I'm going to London for a month") could be translated as "I'm going to invade London in the name of the Moon" ("я иду на Лондон во имя Луны") when thinking creatively. "Идти на..." following by a city or country means "to go to ... for a battle", "для месяца" doesn't mean that something is being done during this period, it means it is done in favour of this period, "месяц" could be translated as "moon" in some cases (in the case you invade London, you wouldn't do it to praise a month, you would definitely do it for the Moon).

@@sekrasoft pay attention, this guy like me is a complete beginner. That explanation you gave was long, tedious and waste of information...

I don't really get it. Language learning is about challenges, and Russian is a quite a challenge. If you don't like challenges you shouldn't be so interested in learning languages in the first place.

@@mihanich it's just the revelation of why people just accept this without question. But I'm having fun with it, and slowly learning objects around me in Russian. I'll do that before I touch these crazy changes.
