Real russian "Stop saying ЭТО" Duolingo: "ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО ЭТО" I swear, it's the first word I learned form there. It's 90% of the words that aren't names in the first chapters.

I think we should be taught 'ЭТО' as meaning 'this is', rather than 'it is', as it's often translated. For this reason, so many learners including myself make this mistake as we believe ЭТО means the same as it's in English. Instead, if you think of ЭТО as meaning 'this is', such as это стол 'this is a table', you'll stop thinking it's an essential word that can be used all the time as 'it's' is in English.

Now, I can imagine learning 'por' could be confusing, given the fact that it also means, 'because', 'why' and 'per', lol.

Good video Fedor!! Your lesson is kind of similar to some of the grammar rules in Spanish. Everything is assigned a gender: male or female.

However, if something has a conditional or changing nature or characteristic then, you cannot.

Well, "это" has 2 meanings: 1. As a pointing pronoun. This way it's used mostly as an introduction. In these case nearly always there will be a noun to the right of "is" and no noun to the left in English sentence. *This* is my phone. - *Это* мой телефон. *It* is a very rare case. - *Это* очень редкий случай. 2. As a determiner. This way it's mostly used with a noun and it's identical to "this" but only if the noun is of *neuter gender* and singular. *This wine* is very tasty. - *Это вино* - очень вкусное. I like *this place* very much. - Мне очень нравится *это место* . "Этот", "эта", "эти" are used in the second case for other genders/plural: "этот" is for masculine singular nouns, "эта" is for feminine singular nouns and "эти" is for all plural nouns. I've wanted to go to *this city* for a long time. - Я давно хотел съездить в *этот город* . *This winter* is very cold. - *Эта зима* - очень холодная. *These pills* won't help you. - *Эти таблетки* тебе не помогут.

Меня (of me) and мне (to me) is two different cases of the same word я (I).
@Mastakilla915 жыл бұрын
simple. You seem to speak serbocroatian so transscripted "мне" to our language would be "mnje". The "e" in the russian word is actually a replacement for the old "yat" letter which turned into "ije/je" in ijekavica (croatia, bosnia) and "e" in ekavica (serbia, slovenia, macedonia).

Thank you for the lecture! I am from Czech Republic and most of the rules mentioned in your video are common in our Slavic language as well, but it still gave me something to think about. In case of "это" overusage, I use "у нас" often, for example "у нас ужасная погода" or "у нас новый президент". I wanted to ask, if my examples are correct or if I overuse that as well? Спасибо и приятного дня!

Some Russian people have rosy cheeks mainly because of having a little bit of Mongolian ancestry. Mongolian people have very rosy cheeks. Look at pictures of Mongolian people.

@Alina Temnenco I thought it was a Mongol thing because if you look at steppe regions, their people often have rosy cheeks and in rare cases, their entire face is bright pink. I realized this was wrong a while ago, back when I didn't even remember I made this comment.

This was very helpful. Would you make a video where you speak sentences in english but do it using Russian structure? Its hard for me to hear how Russian ‘thinks’
@russ1anasanov1ch492 жыл бұрын
A good request. You must be a smart person.The difference is that there is a huge amount of indefinite article in the Russian language, which makes the language flexible. To fulfill your request, Fedor must know Russian at the level of a doctor of sciences.Or at least think about the words. In my opinion, the English language has a very old Russian grammar.If I'm making a literal translation, then you sound like an old village grandmother.Or a robot.

Уважение всем неславянским студентам !!! Изучать русский язык нелегко. Для нас, Сербов, это относительно просто. Мой сын сказал, что русский язык звучит как сербский, хотя и намного мягче :)
@anamorfoplasis5 жыл бұрын
Milomax При этом, по мнению, одного русского лингвиста, хорватский звучит почти как древнерусский) Наверно, это из-за разницы в лексиконе между сербским и хорватским наречиями...
@vladko20085 жыл бұрын
По-моему мнению, Хорватский язык - это почищенный сербский от тюркизмов, поэтому он ближе к славянскому языку.

I'm not a teacher and I didn't learn Russian, I don't know how much correct my words, but if you want to make a construction "What to do" use words with "ть" at the end.

Hello Fedor, can you maybe explain how "это" was introduced into Russian. Where does the "э" come from? I always figured "есть то" = "е + то" = "это" because it's also often replaying 3 person singular "to be".
