Russian is derived from multiple languages, which took elements of other languages, which used elements of Greek or Latin. Very confusing lol

Что сдесь сложного ? Каждая буква означает звук и каждий звук означается буквой ...

@@hl2702 As a german I can confirm that. A lot of the russian letters are spelled the same way as they would be in german, which makes some things surprisingly intuitive.

Fun fact: The Cyrillic alphabet is actually Bulgarian not Russian :D. It came from the First Bulgarian Empire in the 9th century when the glagolitsa (глаголица) was created which was used for the church books only. And then in honour of Cyrill it was created the Cyrillic script (кирилица) which was used in international books and that's how it was spreaded in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan all the way to Mongolia. Also despite the Bulgarian & Russian alphabet are 99% the same there are some differences like: Е - Э (Only in Russian & Belarusian alphabet is pronounced Е like ЙЭ/ЬЭ, while in the rest it is like the the Russian/Belarusian Э) Щ (This letter exists in 3 alphabets only Russian, Ukrainian & Bulgarian and all of them have different way of pronouncing it. In Bulgarian it is pronounced as "ШТ", Ukrainian - "ШЧ" and in Russian - "ШЬ" - soft "Ш") Ъ (Exists only in Bulgarian & Russian alphabet and only in Bulgarian this letter makes a sound, while in Russian it doesn't have a sound. In Bulgarian it is pronounced as "uh" like in the word "rubber". Many people confuse it with Ы but the sound is not the same. Ы in Bulgarian is written as "ЪЙ" and it barely exists because the language changed quite a lot in the 40s. 1 word that has this sound is "тъй" (pronounced as the Russian & Ukrainian - ты/ти but it doesn't mean "you" but "as/like..") Hopefully I explained it and learnt something. Also greeting from Bulgaria :D

Great to hear that!

The Russian letter o is pronounced "o" when it is stressed and it is pronounced like "a" or an unclear "ə" when it is not stressed. This is called vowel reduction.

Les Wilk It's just random but kind of in english where random is pronounced randuhm.

it depends on the word like in english some words are " rule brackers " same in Russian. ;D

Mistake in pronunciation in video that author trust transcriptions, and replace "o" to "a", "е" to "i". It's not correct, unaccented vowels are said quicker, quietly and less accurately, but they don't change, they remain in the middle.

It depends on who's ruling over you at the time.

examples?

@@mearbye This is the website I went to in order to learn about the Russian Sound system. Amazing Russian. Part 1 is about vowels and parts 2 and 3 are about soft versus hard consonants and palletization. I found them pretty good.

Romanian is a Slavic influenced Latin language. Don't be surprised when you and the Moldovans are literally Latin islands on Slavic lands. But weirdly when you speak it sounds less Slavic compared to the EU Portuguese which is weird.

I suppose, by "that u vowel" you mean ы. As far as I know, it is sometimes given in English as ih. Basically, this is not something out of this world, it is simply a perhaps somewhat rougher version of the vowel in English words consisting of three letters (or three sounds) where the letter i is put between two consonants - like "rib" or "nib" or "this". For a native Russian-speaking ear it's quite a vowel from the word "this"... Also, sometimes English speakers pronounce that ih-sound at the beginning of the word "enough". Sometimes they describe that ih sound as the one that predates vomiting or the one produced by somebody who had just been punched in the stomach. Basically, just think of it as the rude, rough, raw, crude, brutal kind of English i sound. Just think of relaxed i vs brutal i. As for o, when it's stressed it's o, when it's unstressed it becomes kinda uh. You may pronounce all o's as o's - but in terms of correctness, it will sound like you're either from certain distant provinces of Russia or you're a time traveler from the distant past. You may also be a (stereotypical) Russian Orthodox Christian priest, then. You should also notice that the Russian letter/sound x while usually marked in English with kh, is NOT k, at all! It NEVER sounds as k! Absolutely! It is definitely h - but the English sound h is produced in a different place of the throat, deeper than its Russian analogue x. English h sometimes gets voiced - the best example is the word "aha", where that English h kinda obtains a shade of [ g ]-sounding. Russian sound x never gets voiced. Anyway, Russian x is rather English h than English k, simply because Russian x and English h do sound almost identical in many situations (you should have a sensitive ear to feel the difference between them in many words), while the Russian x definitely never sounds like k... Russian x is totally identical to Scottish ch, and although younger Scots tend to pronounce their ch's as k's, classic Scottish ch is not k.

"Ь" is mostly used as "softening letter" basically to say some letters softer. While in Bulgarian it is always used as soft "YO" sound after consonants and always paired with "O." All of these letters can be only after consonants and never at the start of the word, except "Ъ" in Bulgarian but not in Russian. For example "ъгъл" (angle) - this is one of the few words that start with "Ъ" in Bulgarian. In Russian "Ъ" letter is barely even used because it doesn't make any sound unlike Bulgarian which makes a "schwa" sound or "UH" like in the word "rubber" or the Russian words "тигр, театр." This letter is used as pause letter like in the word "объект" if this letter wasn't there it will be pronounced as "abyekt" instead "ab'yekt." Just like how commonly "Ь" is used in Russian and rarely in Bulgarian, and vise-versa with the letter "Ъ." "Ы" is like hard "I' sounds used like "Ь" after consonants and it is pronounced like the letters in Bulgarian "ЪЙ" Hopefully I helped you with something after 1 year :)

Wow, that's very informative. Thank you so much.

For a native Russian speaking ear, ы is quite the vowel i in the word "this" - so you can get the idea. It's a brutal version of i.

Hey the website which free but works very well is de.wiktionary.org/ you just copy the Russian word into the search bar and you done. Another option would be easypronunciation.com but If you just want to check certain words that would be not worth the money.

It is possible it was directly borrowed or influenced by Persian. Possibly, you know that the Russian word for "god" is bog - the same as in the word Baghdad... And the word khorosho (well) is the relative of the word Khwarazm. So...

Fun fact: "Ъ" in Bulgarian has a sound and it is pronounced like "Uh" like in the word rubber. While in Russian doesn't have a sound and it is used as "pause" letter like in the word "объект" if it wasn't there it will be pronounced as "abyekt" instead of "ab'yekt"

Are you Croat? Ъ & Ь in Russian don't have a specific sound but to make letters harder or softer. In Bulgarian Ъ has a sound and it is like "uh" or for example Srbija will be written as Сърбия - you don't have it as letter but you have a sound when you have words made up by consonants that have R. Ь is like your J, but used only after consonants just like the Serbian Cyrillic letters - Љ (ЛЬ attached to make 1 letter), Њ (НЬ same deal as LJ, NJ). Ъ in Russian is mostly used as pause like for example the word "объект" if it was written as "обект" it will be pronounced fast as "абьект" but with Ъ it is pronounced as "аб'йект") Hopefully I explained it.

As the foreigner and probably a beginning learner you don't have to think about hard sign, at all. It's not that important. Soft sign is more important. Russian language UNLIKE almost all other European languages (except some other Slavic ones and some rarer ones) draw a distinction between normal consonants and their respective palatalised versions. Palatalisation is not the concept from another planet, it is not something cryptic or impossible to get into. In a few words it is when you add an extremely short i sound after the consonant - it creates an effect that you kinda added a [ j ] sound to the consonant (j sound like in the word "boy" or "yacht"), but the consonant and the j-sound kinda became one sound. In Spanish there's a letter for n sound and another letter for a palatalised n sound, so you can get an idea from Spanish. Palatalisation is achieved by putting the tongue upwards a bit. The concept as such is not alien to any adult speaker of any language in the world - simply, for example, English or German speakers do not think of palatalisation as anyhow important, a distinguishing feature. In Russian, palatalised sounds are called soft, the normal versions are called hard - because, well, this is how it feels by ear, kind of. So, the soft sign is the mute letter (letter-modifier) that makes the preceding consonant soft.

Esséy translet mo ban comments non, ene ggt to pa pu ressi flrmm🤣

Ъ - hard letter, Ь - soft letter. If you see the letter Ь it makes the consonant softer, if you see Ъ makes the consonant sound harder. For example with the word "объект" (ob'yekt) if it was softer "обьект" it will be (obyyekt). But in Russian Ъ doesn't have any sound, while in Bulgarian it makes an UH sound like the word "rubber"
