Почему-то смотреть как русский объясняют иностранцам так интересно :D Заодно и свой английский подтягиваю)

I rarely get up from my sofa just to write a comment on a KZfaq video I just watched on my TV but I had to do it now! I am SO impressed by your way of teaching Russian! Russian seems so easy when you explain it and I really enjoy listening to you. You give me new motivation for learning Russian every time I watch your videos! Thank you so much 😊

So essentially же adds a sense of doubt to a statement of fact.

As a beginner, this is pretty overwhelming, but I look forward to rewatching when I'm farther along with my studies!

как же классно слушать умного человека. не бывает же таких!

I’ve been learning Japanese for a year now, and they have these nuance words EVERYWHERE. Their language depends a lot on it. So this came relatively easy for me!

When watching this video I realized that if I put the word "though" in most of these sentences with же that it will make a lot of sense ( not including words like тот же , when its translated as the same, but the first few meanings that you gave) For example , if you are saying "where exactly?" I could say "where, though?" In the sentences you used because I also said "though" and the concept of же started making more sense. Thanks for your explanation, you explain things very well! 😊

The most useful channel for Russian learning.. RESPECT 👏👏

Когда я русский и я наконец-то понял все значения частицы -же от Фёдора на английском языке:-)))) Фёдор для меня как училка по-русскому языку, которая всё объясняет, правда на английском, но это мелочи😊 Большое thanks!)

Спасибо за эти уроки. These videos are truly unique unlike many other channels!

Настоятельно рекомендую твой канал подруге из UK, вы Товарищ объясняете вещи прям как я но только мне приходится так ломать голову чтоб построить мысль и научить ее, а у Вас уже всё есть. Я сам как носитель слушаю вас с удовольствием, правильные мысли и способ передачи сложных вещей простым путём. Спасибо

I am SO glad I came across your videos this year, I recently joined the Be Fluent class and it has made a huge difference in my abilities to learn Russian. I absolutely love the structure of the courses, without it there is no way I would be where I am at now, in just 1 month after joining! Making much more progress than ever before. Having access to Russian content, and many exercises for speaking, listening, etc. has been crucial to my learning. Thank you so much for what you do, and for providing such an exceptional course! It is THE BEST one I have ever came across!

4. MEANING OF :BECAUSE Next meaning of {“Же [ zhe ]” je is to say “because”, when we explain something and we use {“Же [ zhe ]”} to explain that reasoning, and now show the difference between between the actual “because” literal meaning of because with “she”. I can say: “But she didn't know where it's located” . Она же не знала, где это находится. Ana zhe nee znala, gdye eta nakhoditsa. ★ Maybe the girl was just taking her time and trying to find the office building and they're blaming her: “What took you so long and you told them” She didn't know where it was located”. Or another is : now she would mean -”But however, hold on, but she didn't know where it was.” But because in Russian is: Because Потому что Patamushta. While Потому что [patamushta ] is more of the actual reasoning. You are showing the reason for your actions or you give the backstory of why certain things happened. But in this sentence with: “But she didn't know where it's located” . Она же не знала, где это находится. Ana zhe nee znala, gdye eta nakhoditsa. ★ So the difference between with the meaning of because with Потому что [patamushta], is {же=zhe} is used when the reasoning is known. We all knew that she didn't know where to go. While as Потому что [patamushta] is given a legitimate reason when the reason is unknown.That's I would say, that's the real difference between the two. So just to recap {же=zhe} in the meaning of “because” means that you explain the reason more so to remind a person : “However, hold on, she didn't know this while Потому что [Patamushta.] is to give a legitimate reason for your actions.

It seemed complicated at first but now I understand it's really not that hard! Thanks

@fedor, not sure if you’ll see this. But you do a very good job of teaching. You break down the simple fundamentals and context of words, which will make it so much easier for people to remember it’s proper use. Where did you learn English? I’m an American, but I spent a year in Russia. You seem like you’ve learned in a native speaking country. When I went to Russia, I only knew a handful of words and learned everything while there. By the time I left, I could have an hour long phone conversation with my GF in only Russian, because she spoke ZERO English. Hearing you speak, you use proper words and understand not everything translates straight across, word for word and you’re able to differentiate the proper translation. Not many people in Russia knew this, because most learned English from a book Wish you all the success in business. I think you’ll blow up. You offer the right amount of free content, school is very reasonably priced, and your viewers feel a connection with you/your way of teaching.

5. EXACTLY [IN QUESTIONS] Next meaning of {же=zhe} is in questions where we have to specify exactly what we what a person needs or where something is located. For example: I can say: -I need fruit/fruits. Мне нужны фрукты Mnye nuzhny frukty. And the person can ask me: -And which ones exactly? И какие же? Ee kakiye zhe? In this one {же=zhe} means “exactly”; which fruits exactly because there's bananas, oranges, apples, other things. And he's asking you : ➟ И какие же? which ones exactly okay and that's when you and that's when you answer: “Okay I want apples “. So in this one {же=zhe} means “exactly/ or which ones” . ★ Another example: You can say: -I am here. Я здесь. YA zdes'. And the person can ask you: -And where exactly? И где же? I gdye zhe? ★ I 'm here; can be anywhere. Specify exactly where you are. ↓ So {же=zhe} in this one will mean “exactly” as well . To clarify or to narrow down exactly where you are located.

"Же" это как определённый артикль, но для всего подряд, не только для существительных

Lol smooth plug at the end there. 😂 I was even thinking "this could be it... and the FLAWLESS PLUG! 👏👏👏"

Классное видео! Many thanks!

You're amazing, Fedor. Thanks alot bro

Очень хорошо спасибо 😊

Been a long time since I watched a video Fedor, working so much. You are doing amazing!

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Fedor: Check out our be fluent camp

this was very helpful!

First two meanings are basically "tho" in english Он же уже уехал = he already left tho Edit: third too На улице холодно, тут же тепло = its cold outside, tho its warm here/although here's warm

Спасибо большое! Это так полезно и чётко объяснено )))

Какое же интересное видео, это же надо так объяснять!

Thank you!

I really liked it, how you explaining the details, keep it up 👌

Extremely helpful! Спасибо!

Thank you so much.

Спасибо большое за Ваше видео !

This is like the german "doch"

gracias...

Я же русский, зачем же мне это?)

Thanks for your excellent examples, Fedor. I think же is often called an "emphatic particle" in English. In your examples it most often translates as: so the-same but however exactly already.

Привет, мой друг Фёдор! :) TBH, your channel is better than lessons taught by teachers with masters degrees I've studied with! Keep up the good work! Молодец!

As I’m watching this, I realise же the same as the swedish word ju, which helps a lot, since I’m a swedish native. And come to think of it, they sound very similar. Maybe it’s not a coincidence after all…

When I first saw it, I was like «И как ЖЕ?»

Great lesson. The only one I already knew is not in there, right? The "As .... as" form like так же хорошо, как я

Bro you're just super

I was so confused at first until I realised we have that word in German, too (doch) and it's used in almost all the same contexts. Though in some it sounds a bit archaic. And additionally we use it to negate negations which doesn't seem to be the case in Russian. Or can it be used like that, as well? Like someone says "You didn't do the dishes again!" And you answer "Yes (doch), I did!" Is that possible with же? Thank you for this great explanation 😊

The most complicated word in Russian language history! Well, it's manageable, but its different uses need memorization, which I'm not a fan of, so I'll probably just use it whenever it is super common to do so, such as конечно же, and I'll live wihout it most of the time...

интересно, что у нас в персидском языке то же самое: мы добавляем к глаголу букву «а», чтобы напомнить слушателю. она не знала где это находится “U nemidunest kojast.” она ЖЕ не знала где это находится “U nemidunest kojastAA!” Only we have such a thing in our language?😎😂

Chinese has a lot of particles too which also makes it easy.

Your are awesome Fedor! Im definitely planning on signing up to your Be Fluent Camp.. And im fluent in Spanish, же is used very similar to how we use "Ya" in Spanish

my brain is expanding

спасибо за видос! за первые несколько секунд поняла что такое ЖЕ

спасибо большое. мне нужно это видео! I'm always confused about this particle.

In the first example, would you say that the English equivalent would be something like "didn't he leave though?"

Could you please explain the Падеж please?

Sounds to my like the word 'же' is much like the English 'though', but it's emotional equivalent is more like 'like'

Привет из Пуэрто-Рико! Счастливого Рождества

я же знаю английский. и про русский в курсе) ну невозможно же устоять!

Hey Fedya, great channel and great vid. Was just thinking about your explanation of столько же to mean "that same exact amount". Can you use сколько же in the same way, like to mean "how much/many/long exactly?" (E.g. exactly how long were you there? Exactly how much did you have to drink? etc)

Продолжайте в том же духе. - Keep up the good work! John Darby

Hey Fedor, thanks for the explanation, I always love your videos. Же is indeed a tough particle to grasp by explanation alone)) I did want to ask about your use of the word "however" around 3:32. I understand what же means there, but I don't think "however" can be used in that manner or definition. Just a heads up)

конечно же

yes. ЖЕ is alike though. [i believe it to be...]

The song ария суды by АИГЕЛ repeats the phrase "Ты же не хочешь проблем?" over and over again. I'm still not sure I know the exact meaning here, but it feels like "you don't want a problem, do you?" in a threatening sort of way. Did I get it right? ) Спасибо

Ah, so it’s like the words “toch” in Dutch and “väl” in Swedish.

pretty close to the meaning of ЖЕ is "tho" ну так, же? or like addition of "isn't it?"

Чел харош

My favorite Russian learning KZfaq channels are Real Russian Club and Be Fluent in Russian. Have you heard of Real Russian Club?

Hey, could you do a video on " -их " ? I was using the Global Language Online Support System to get some random study examples; When i came across the phrase " Российских Космических кораблях ". I understand it as " Russian ", " Space ", and " Ship "; But what's the point of adding this suffix?

And btw, particle же is a contraction and originated from adverb уже (already). I think it meant something like "as already known" or already obvious - Hey, why aren't you preparing hometask?! - But I (as already clear) have already done it! (же)

Давайте же изучим ЖЕ

So cute

Fedor, it seems to me that ЖЕ is an intensifier. The word 'already' would be used in the United States (at least, by some) in the same way. Your first example would translate as "he left already" to intensify the fact that 'he left' I get it! I get it! I get it already!

Can you explain and compare “-то” (я-то) and “же” (я же)!!?

Можно и разные формы поставить1 он же уехал 2 он уехал же 3 уже же он уехал

I'd say it's closest to the English "but".

Shouldn't 2 (двойку?) be D?

Ептать почему ЖЕ у меня это в рекомендациях

everytime ts still means "however" or "tho.."

XD its the same in polish but its że

Это видео нашло вас само🌚

Ну конечно же я не знаю как использовать предлог же и поэтому смотрю это видео, я же всего лишь всю жизнь живу в России

А чего тогда Фёдор, а не Теодор😁

Же is the short form of уже (already, But...already) just more impressive and categorical. Can be both together. Ты же знаешь=Но ты уже знаешь. Same meaning in context, but the first sentence sounds easier and more convinient.🎅🎅🎅

Расцветали же яблоки и груши...

Whereas

sorry for spamming comments. но вам же не помешает активность на канале? мои мысли и примеры хорошие же?

Tho?

это очен трудно. Я думаю что я просто не буду исползиваеть Ж.

Же

Br avo

а ты русский?

Надо поучить Английский.

sorry, but you’ve repeated the phrase so many times, that I felt obligated to bring it to your attention. It’s not “he already left”, it’s “he’s already left”, so present perfect, not past simple. Just saying.

To translate "ЖЕ" as "I think" is incredibly inaccurate! It's more like "but" or "though", expressing a contradiction. It has nothing to do with thinking.

6. THE SAME [WITH A PRONOUN] Next meaning of {же=zhe} is when it means “the same” or “in the same exact way”, and is going to be used with other Pronouns. Let me give you a list : 6.1 To do something in the same exact way. Так же [Tak zhe] ↓ ★ Так[Tak] means to do something in a certain way or so to do it so like this, and [же =zhe] means: “the same”. so when we say Так же[Tak zhe], it means we're doing something in the same exact way. So maybe it's cooking- I cook my eggs runny and she cooks them in the same exact way as me. 6.2 At the same time. Тогда же Tagda zhe ↓ Тогда[Tagda] means “at that time” and [же =zhe] means the same. So Тогда же [Tagda zhe] as a whole means :”at the same time or right then and there”. i did one thing and I did this thing in the same exact time. 6.3 At the same location./In the same exact spot. Там же Tam zhe Там [Tam]means : over there, and же [zhe] means : the same. ↓ So Там же [Tam zhe] means: In the same exact spot. For example: I saw my friend at a Store and i saw my second friend in the same exact location- in the same exact store. 6.4 The same exact amount. Столько же Stol'ka zhe ↓ Столько[stol’ka ] means there's a certain amount, and же [zhe] means: the same. So Столько же [Stol'ka zhe] means: the same exact amount. I can say : How much is this t-shirt ? they can say : 15. And then I ask : How much is that t-shirt? They can say : Столько же. Stol'ka zhe. ★ The same exact amount- 15. Now it's up to you whichever one you prefer to use. 6.5 Same exact person/thing. Тот же [Tot zhe] Тот [Tot] means : that person/ that thing. Же [zhe] means : the same exact. ↓ Together they mean: the same exact person or the same exact thing. ★ Тот[Tot] can be changed depending on the gender and number. It can be : Тот/Та/То/Те же Masc /Fem/Neuter/Plural ★ If you're familiar with those then you can you know how to use them properly.

★ Meaning 1 + 2= HOWEVER/WHILE And I would say those two combined. if I were to put it in one word I would say in English : “However, he already left. I cannot invite John, however he already left.” Same situation with giving a gift. And and you're asking: “However he already left”. So I thought here is very similar to “I thought”. So that's like a one word translation. Of course, it's not perfect Fit. It does it's not going to fit perfectly because Же [ zhe ] is more of an emotional word. It gives a sentence an emotional meaning versus you know however being an actual literal word. ★ 3. CONTRAST The next meaning of Же [ zhe ] is to contrast things. To contrast two parts of a sentence . For example, I can say: ♦ It’s cold out side, however/while here it is warm. На улице холодно, тут же тепло. Na ulitse kholadna, tut zhe teeplo. ★ So in this sentence “Же [ zhe ]” will mean however or while. So you are contrasting the weather on the street with the weather here or with the temperature here. And {Же [ zhe ]} jay is going to have a more of a literal meaning this time to say :”however/ a while” Another example: ♦ I recieved a 5 out of 5 [A], while she got a 2 out of 5[F=failed]. Я получил пятёрку, она же получила двойку. YA paluchil pyatorku, ana zhe paluchila dvoyku. ★ So we're contrasting these things with {Же [ zhe ]} And {Же [ zhe ]} will have the meaning of “however”. But for you to use it in a sentence there has to be two contrasting things: one that is good, one that is bad . ♦ She did not know where it’s located. Она же не знала, где это находится. Ana zhe ne znala, gdye eta nakhoditsa.
