The most common filler I heard in Russia was "как бы" which I believe is the English equivalent of "like" filler

So interesting how типа is used pretty much in the same way as tipo in Italian

Так так так 😁

I follow your videos, Fyodor, but this one stands out. My Russian is pretty good, but this topic (and content) is not one most teachers of the language would bother trying to explain because it's so intuitive to native speakers, not inherently meaningful, but REAL and likely to puzzle even the most serious students of the language.

Вот ≈ That's it! | Here you go. | Here it is. | See! So, it's the Russian equivalent of the French " Voilà! ". Thanks again Fedor for yet another great video!

One of the most important videos to become more fluent… thank you!

"nu" also appears in Yiddish, with similar meaning.

Knowing these words is very useful when trying to read or parse speech as it helps you separate what actually means things and what is just filler. When you are translating a sentence where you dont know or dont understand the use of all the words its easy to overthink each one and not realise when they dont actually mean anything. Thanks a lot for the vid!

The problem with filler words is that in order to sound natural, you HAVE to use them, but there is a certain invisible line - cross it and it’s just too much, you’re done, your speech is either unnatural or you sound stupid. Another problem is that the only way to experience these words in natural environment are interviews or livestreams. In scripted medium (news, movies, books etc) filler words are almost nonexistent. That is because the abundance of filler words is often condemned by society and actually a lot of people do fight the urge to use filler words so they won’t sound simpleminded and their image will be “smarter” to some extent. Anyway, no one can just export into your head all the details of filler words’ nature in Russian language. You have to feel it and use properly. And that is achieved only by experience, mostly listening of course. Just catch the flow, eventually you’ll get it. The song «Saypink! - Типа я и типа ты» is a great example of filler words’ over abundance for poetic purposes. Almost all of the listed words are here, haha.

So is так сказать sort of like saying "so to speak?" As in, "He represented the side of goodness, so to speak."

Videos like that are very useful to learn english filler words, thanks)

In Brazilian Portuguese we have "tipo" and "bem" for the same context you'd use "типа" and "ну."

2:56 "I kinda came"

omg ive been specifically looking for a video like this! thank you fedor!!

Russians name such words as "words-parasites".

Да, правильно. Иногда я слышал « Вот Так. На «RussianWithMax”, он сказал « так» много раз когда он читал на «chat”. Ну короче, всё так сказать Хорошо!

Very useful video for learning to understand colloquial spoken Russian and to speak it oneself.

Thank you for the video! I was just about to look for a vid on that and boom, recommended, added an hour ago :o you red my mind

Im joining the camp in a couple days very excited to learn!

Really useful, LOVE your videos man

Great video thank you!

Good lesson!!!

My favorite channel for Russian

Love this channel.

Really appreciate you taking the time to put this together. It's useful for learners at all stages to get familiar with these native features. Спасибо 😊

This video is super helpful. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the lesson Fedor! It's all these little words that confuse me when trying to translate something, and your video really helped.

Молодец Фёдор! This is an excellent video. Understanding and using filler words is a sign that one is becoming more advanced as it allows one to fill sentences (I e stall for time) and sound more native like- just don’t overdo it. Fedor. I was interested that you included того. I have only encountered this in the sense of referring to something we don’t want to mention. Он ну…того (something b ad has happened to him). Is прям also a filler word?

The only one out of all of these I have ever used is “ну” because I’ve seen other people use it and I often repeat things I have heard/read. I’m glad I use it correctly

-Вот блин! -сказал слон и наступил на колобка..

💝💝💝

My current filler words: Привет ah, uh, что ты делаешь брат? Uh, fuck,,, uh…

Will you be running the Be Fluent course from January 2023 also? Мне очень нравятся ваши видео!

cool

Спс))

Excellent! You make Russian accessible.

👍

another question. how about the word просто? could it be considered and used as a filler word in certain cases?

Ну это, короче, это самое, ну в общем хороший ролик, вот

Это also means 'this' right?

Can anyone explain to me what "CIAO 2021" is about, the Russian New Year Show? Is it all in Italian? My Russian friends love this show madly, because Italian culture stands out! Could you tell me something more about it?

could u translate короче as "suffice it to say" ?

What's the difference between скажем так and так сказать? And when to use them?

in portuguese its literally like you explained... i wasn't aware.. Так называемые - dont ask me why i dunno lol. but its the filler i can remember the most

@Befluentinrussian One question: Can you use "вроде" in the same way as "типа"? Also, another thing: Ну ты как бы забыл, так сказать, идиом "в смысле".

What's the diffrence beetween вот and здесть?

I have heard nu as 'Ax nu". And Tak as so

Bolshoe spasiba, Fedor! (I don't know how to do the cyrillic font on my crappy phone...haha); I'm just beginning to learn Russian and am joining your Be Fluent camp. MHE, your lessons are so valuable! Thanks, again!

Я люблю слово "блин." Я знаю много плохих слов. :)

типа ≈ kinda как бы ≈ kinda, kind of короче ≈ Alright, ... ну ≈ и всё(I feel like this anyway...) = well вот ≈ That's it! || Here you go. || Here it is. || See! (tune up↑) так сказать(так ска...) ≈ well блин = блять😏😏 = damn! || fuck! || shit! это, того, там ≈ emmm... || well... || あのう… || 그...(used as pause)

"Нууу, в этой ситуации мы просто наши к это самое мы уже здесь наши полномочия всё, окончены..."

Follow-up question: is кстати also a filler word? I'd use it kinda like "actually" but I'm not sure 🤔

I thought Блин was a pancake 😂🤷

This kind of video can be very difficult to make, because it can came out very cringe. But you did great. Congratulations on this great video!

Can you use блин to mean wow/dang? Блин! Ты ж знаешь так много языков! Правильно ли?

I think that как бы не так should be translated as "I don't think so".

Привет, Фёдор. What is the difference between за and за то что (when saying "for")?

So how do I say "hmmm" in Russian? :)

I’m still waiting for humm 🥴

ну как бы вот

Вот тебе и на!

When I lived in Russia I got habit of saying nu in every setence, natives use it alot but I think it`s annoying, now that I don't live there anymore I stop using it.

hey, u forgot the "в принципе"

Блин just means pancake in Google translate. Idk any curse that starts with bl

I'm sorry to say this, but Russian filler words are annoying especially for beginners in the language....they are confusing and gets me lost in the conversation trying to figure out what is what and for what it's used.....I guess I'm not used to them yet, but they do give me hard times
