It's so cool when you fluently speak russian and watch these videos to practice your English.

The word “weekdays” in English refers to the days Monday through Friday as opposed to the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. If you are talking about all the days, say “days of the week.”

Your videos have become somehow even better! Thanks as always for your excellent instruction

Your teaching style is just awesome we need more video like this. Спасибо.

In Portuguese, the week "starts' with Sunday, so Monday becomes the second day of the week and so goes on until Friday, that becomes the 6th day of the week in this system. It's nice to see the differences to Russian.

Bro last week I had just finished learning all these and boom up pops your video. Also guys if you’re reading this I found a super effective way to increase vocabulary. I was watching Lex Fridman and Jack Barsky (the ex KGB agent) said he learned English fast with this one trick. He wrote down 50-100 words onto notecards and each day he would go through them. If he was able to remember the word once, he put it in a separate stack, he would then go through and see which words he could recall two times in a row without error and put them into a #2 stack and so on until he could do it 5 times. He said once he could do that it was in long term memory by the next day. I can tell you that this is working really well for me I went from learning maybe 5 words a day to like 20 a day.

Hungarian is very similar, some of them originates from these words in the video. monday - hétfő - it translates as 'the head of the week' similar to russian tuesday - kedd - the word kettő/kettedik (second) merged into this word wednesday - szerda - its almost the same as in russian thursday - csütörtök - originates from 'четыре', the pronounciation is similar friday - péntek - also very similar saturday - szombat - almost identical sunday - vasárnap - this one is the black sheep, it has no similarities to any slavic, not even in origins Just thought i should share this here :)

будний день = week day будние дни = week days выходной = weekend fydor is talking about the entire “days of the week” (sunday to saturday) or дни недели, not the “weekdays” (monday to friday) as the title implies.

Interesting stuff. In Portuguese, we have the easiest week days to learn: Monday is, in literal translation to English: "2nd fair" (because sunday was considered the first day of the week, as being the most important day: the church going day), tuesday is "3rd fair", and so on so forth, 4th, 5th and 6th fairs! your first day is our second day and so on. We are the only country with this particularity, unlike Spain, France or the UK, where the names of the week are related to planets or ancient pagan gods. This Portuguese minimalism was done by the "holy" Inquisition during the late middle ages, in an effort to purge any vestiges of paganism from society! Funny that they just haven't reminded to change sunday to ressurection, however our "SUNSday" is already called "domingo", which comes from latin "domini", which means Lord. As for "SATURNSday" it is the only one in our language similar to the Russian "subotu". Now i learn that some Russian week days are also named after numbers, but in a different counting...a bit confusing, but Russian language isn't easy on any account. You teach me a little Russian, i teach you a bit of Portuguese!

Outstanding teaching, you really brought things together for me. Big thumbs up

Спасибо, теперь я знаю дни недели. И еще я не знал что воскресенье похоже на воскрешение потому никогда не думал об этом.

I just got a refurbished Soviet-era wristwatch! It has a Day/Date feature that should help me memorize the Russian Days of the Week! That watch plus your video here and I should be all set. Thanks Fёdor!

Добрый день, профессор Федор, мне нравится и посещаю ваши занятия очень прагматично

Понедельник literally means "after-sunday", because earlier неделя meant Sunday in Russian as in other Slavic languages. It looks like in earlier Slavic languages nedela meant both "week" and "sunday", it was only later that "week" and "Sunday" got their separate names. In some Russian dialects "week" is also called semina and tyden', while "Sunday" is called "nedelya". But i doubt those dialects survived by now, unfortunately. Also, it's seems like in Polish niedziela also sometimes used to denote "week" because I heard in a polish song "czasu niewiele, jeszcze dwie niedziele" ("not so much time left, two more weeks")

Outstanding lesson! Thank you, sir!

Thank you very much for explaining small changes to the sentence/words as the video goes on. This brings things together for learning of a wider range a lot easier and makes it much easier to come back to this video if a learner needs a concise explanation about the days of the week in Russian. I think a lot of teachers avoid this as to not overload a learner. But I think that just postpones the real learning the learner needs to understand things better.

thank you

Thank you for your guidance ☺️

Great reminders for the days, thank you!

Panidelnik - mon Ftornik - tues Sreeyda - wed Chitvierkh - thurs Pyatnitsa - friday Subota - sat Vaskrisenya - sun V = on From Monday spanidelnika See u on Wednesday- Uvidimsa sreyedu Pa panidelnikam = on Monday

Привет, понедельник называется понедельником вероятно потому что он после воскресенья. В большинстве славянских языков воскресенье называется "неделя" (ук: неділя, срб: недеља, пл: niedziela) а для недели там какое-то другое слово. Это логично: слово неделя, оно происходит от "не делать". Буква "в" звучит как "ф" не в начале слова, но пока она вместе с глухими согласными (на пример в слове "вдоль" звучит "в"). Есть пары звонких/глухих согласных: д/т, в/ф, б/п, з/с. И всё равно как слово написано, либо звонкие звучит вместе, либо глухие звучит вместе (на пример в слове "способ" в начале звучит "с" а в слове "сберечь" думаю звучит "з"). Это называется "Ассимиляция согласных": ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F_(%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0)

Thank you Fedor! I just realized that the video is out today! I am beginner learner and I really enjoyed it. Should I have understood correctly there is the Be Fluent camp which start only on January and the Be Fluent class which can start at anytime? Does the later have a few coaching classes?

Excellent

Very good friend

I feel kinda proud because I figured out the origins of the words for Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for myself

Thanks for the useful information! I learned alot from you! Can you make a video about abbreviations like omg , nvm , idc , idk etc

When I was growing up everyone said неделя. The rest of the Slavic languages still say неделя too. Воскресенье is a Easter thing.

Is it only Slavic languages that think the week starts on Monday. In Portuguese and in Greek language for example they use the word for Second to say Monday, Third to say Tuesday, Fourth to say Wednesday, etc.

I still don't understand why it's "в воскресенье" and not "во воскресенье" which would follow the pattern and reason for "во вторник" ?

По-моему, не рассказали про нумерацию дней недели. Первый день - понедельник, второй - вторник и т.д. В отличие от английского, где более традиционно первый день - воскресенье, второй - понедельник и т.д.

It is On the week, 2 DAY middle Day 4TH DAY FIFTH DAY sabbuta day Sunday? I will have to learn this.. Thanks for hovering a while on these! It is a new fashion for you

7:42 Fun fact: the stress in “по средам” depends on the meaning: if “среда” means ‘Wednesday’, including here, it's “по средАм”, but it can also mean ‘environment’, and in that case, it's “по срЕдам”

Also stress changes in среда and среду

как всегда, отличное видео

Your videos are wonderful, thank you. Only i need a little slow mood :) i mean less fast talking, more space. Its very educationalist, thanks for your efforts.

Well, I wouldn't say that in the Russian names of the days of the week "e" is pronounced as "и" (среда, четверг) and "в" as "ф" (вторник). These are rather subtleties of the Russian language, you can hear something between "e" and "и", but not a pure "и".

Так задача вспомнить родной язык к 1 сентября успешно выполнена

Середа- Слово для день середени дней работы, по моему!

For понедельник it's actually bc it's kinda 'upon неделя', неделя meaning Sunday in all other slavic languages (неделя ≈ not working) So 'upon sunday'!

Sabat means also Saturday in arabic ❤

And my old man critizied English for having some words sound the same ,,but has different meanings... Wish E was ere tday ta listen to this!

Could you mention Which case comes after which preposition please 🙏

great job dear. I need a WhatsApp group to improve Russian language. so it will be very helpful for us and also for you. because you will known our problem and you will make a new video easily for us .

Что я делаю когда мне скучно: смотрю эти видео. 😑😑

I go between... feeling depressed and hopeless as to ever learning Russian... then I have spurts of ...YES ...I am getting it! hehe

I love you

Fedor i need ”how to talk to girls in russian”

Привет, I was wondering what the different is between ты and тебя, and when to use тебя. I can’t find any videos explaining this on KZfaq

Love that religion (Christianity) was worked into the language. I can't wait to visit Russia. This was a great 'yrok' !

СО СРЕДЫ but C СУББОТУ... 🙃

Like in german:"mittwoch"(the middle of week)=wednesday. So the Sabbath is the Seven Day of Rest!✝️🙏⚖️🇷🇴🤝🇷🇺 Old Christian Holy Day !✝️⚖️🕊🏞🕊⏳️ Sunday it is only the day of resurection....but Not the Day of Sabbath!👑✝️⚖️🏞🕊⏳️

По средАм, вообще-то!)

Sees names 😱😱😱😱

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

o run for my life , ruzian on the run

Суббота sounds like your boot and sábado in Spanish

Why "со среды" but "с субботы?"

Boy, russian always sounds unfamiliar and is mostly hard to pronounce, wether it's в(о) воскресеньие or в(о) вторник. 😂

Russian born: grew up in America. Why wouldn’t you say: "C понедельника ДО пятницу“ ?? Seems like that how I would say it. Why would it be wrong?

this language is complicated af!

why is it s subboti and not so subboti?

не пойму чо за акцент. Как понимаю, этнический русский, но рос в другой стране или чо

Came to learn some days in Russian, any black history in Russia 🇷🇺

Russian is the worst language. Slava Ukraini

Thank you

Спасибо большое

I love you
