- У вас есть воды? - Не "воды", а "вода". - Тогда дайте мне вода! - Не "вода", а "воды". - Да я вижу у вас хрен напьешься!

I am Russian, I have known all of this since childhood. So why am I watching this instead of working on my graduation project? Anyway, great video😀

For whoever needs to know this: I am native Russian speaker and I remember my hard time in primary school where we were required to learn cases & endings and conjugations, so we all've come through it.

Для носителя Русского языка это такие очевидные вещи... Желаю удачи всем, кто пытается его выучить =)

as a Russian, I feel bad for all the foreigners who struggle to understand all this linguistic hell. good luck and great patience to all of you, guys. you are the real heroes ❤ the main thing: don’t be afraid to speak! even if you say something not quite correct, people will still understand you, and I believe no one will judge you for some mistakes

I've been learning Russian for 8 months now and I have to say as a Polish person those are very intuitive for me. Of course it's not the same as in my native language, but it just gets to me so easy :D I'm trying to imagine what it's like to learn Russian having different native language than me and I have to admit that there's a lot of material to cover for those people

FINALLY the video I‘ve been waiting for. All the cases, all the genders, adjectives, nouns, prepositions… this video has it all. And the attached files are super helpful. I will print them and put them on my table. Thank you so much!!!

Tomorrow I have a Russian language exam. It was a perfect review for me. Also Thank you so much for the tables and files. As always on top ❤

Ugh thank you so much. Duo lingo has been really fun to casually start learning Russian but they kind of just throw the these cases at you in sentences without actually teaching the cases which makes some of the exercises quite difficult. This video is going to help so much.

I'm native Finn and this is easy for me. Especially the prepositional, I don't have to think about it. I learned and understood immediately.

мне нравится твой навык языкового анализа

Plot twist: you don't need to know all the cases to speak Russian. Just keep words in 'subj, direct obj, indirect obj' order (3:05) and use nominative case. Natives will realise you don't master cases yet and infer roles from the word's order. But you will be sounded like Yoda :) Don't mess up with the order. Example: "Девушка отдала кошку маме." - "The girl gave the cat to mom." You can say everything in nominative "Девушка отдала кошка мама." Now you can keep the order and 'play' with cases, you can place predicate 'отдала' anywhere btw. All the phrases are grammatically correct and ok in Russian (except the first one, Yoda style, but natives will understand you). "Девушка отдала кошка мама." - "The girl gave the cat to mom." (Yoda style) "Девушка отдала кошку маме." - "The girl gave the cat to mom." "Девушка отдала кошке маму." - "The girl gave her mother to the cat." "Девушку отдала кошка маме." - "The cat gave the girl to her mother." "Девушку отдала кошке мама." - "The girl was given to the cat by her mother." "Девушке отдала кошка маму." - "The cat gave her mother to the girl." "Девушке отдала кошку мама." - "Mom gave the cat to the girl." PS. Check it out in google translate, don't use deepl, it doesn't master cases.

As a Russian i should say that actually nobody would expect you to learn ALL of this things by heart anytime. Just listen, talk, try to make it fluent and youll muster it eventually. Don't trash your brain< dont be afraid and you'll get there.

Забавно, я отлично знаю русский и как раз учу английский, весьма занимательно послушать английскую речь в процессе объяснения русского языка. Как же странно предлагает ролики KZfaq, правда? :)

Thanks so much for this! I study Russian because I love the language and this is the best guide I have seen. It looks very challenging but I'm not giving up hope and I am going to master it one day. 😊

Спасибо Федор, потому что с тобой я учу много русского👍

As a Russian all I can tell you, is that the struggle won’t last forever you’ll get it eventually

mate. ive been learning russian for 15 weeks and ive not understood the cases one bit. this 15 minute video just made me understand it essentially perfectly. youre a bloody lifesaver matey i dont know how id know what case to use without this.

Fedor, probably the best explanations of cases I have seen in English yet! However, if I remember correctly from my Russian elementary school, cases affect the endings not because of their gender, but based on their declination (склонение). Луна and Тень are both feminine, but will be affected differently based on their different declination. Also, for Instrumental case you could add the "the location in reference to" such as above, behind, in front, etc.

LOVE. Love love love. I have been struggling with this for MONTHS. Thank you Fidor!!! I will be coming back to study this over and over again!!

Kudos to all the brave and brilliant people who willingly and voluntarily decided to learn Russian.

Я как носитель русского языка не понимаю как можно выучить или понять все падежи в русском языке, учитывая, что в твоем родном языке их нет. Я их использую не задумываясь на автомате. Не представляю как это выучить рядовому человеку.

This was super useful! I wrote down the general rules for all the cases as well as the prepositions that form them on a paper and put it on my wall. Really, really helpful video!

one of the best episodes that you have done, great explaining by breaking down the spine of the language. очень спасибо брат 🤍❤💙

There's also another preposition "при" in my Russian textbook, I still can't understand that one 😅 And can you make a video about the conjugation of the most frequently used irregular nouns?? Thank you so much for your content, I follow you from Turkey

Thanks for all of your content Fidor! It has really given me a boost as I'm starting to learn Russian. Just a semantic correction though: an "indirect object" is a specific part of speech and does not just mean "anything that isn't a subject or direct object." At least that's how it is in English - maybe "indirect object" is a more generic term when translated into Russian. In your example sentence: "People eat oranges with their hands" there is no indirect object. "Hands" is an object of the prepositional phrase "with their hands". Same thing with "I bought a gift for my mom", where "mom" is not an indirect object but is an object of the prepositional phrase "for my mom". If you change the sentence to "I bought my mom a gift", then "mom" would be an indirect object.

I'm Russian native speaker and I live in US for last two years. I'm still trying to learn English and it's going not so well as I want :( Cuz it's not so easy language as I heard before start to learn it. I can't imagine how difficult to learn Russian for English native speakers. Be strong, guys! You can do it ;)

One of the few videos in my whole KZfaq watching career that deserve to press the Like Button

Thank you for covering this again! Very helpful.

Thank you so much for this video! Finally a great review and the attached files are super helpful aswell :) as always great content

That's curious all it took for Russian pupil to learn all these cases is to have a set of questions (чем, о чём, кого/чего) which can be perfectly answered with the corresponding word, independently on the meaning of a context. All of them are self-explanatory and I reckon that's how the learning could be done. Get into the core meaning of questions that make the sense of forms of words. The changes of words definitely feel intuitive everyone knows them without the need to think about forms, just make sense of it

I’m so happy that you share all those tables for free.☺️

Even when I imagine I have an OK grasp on the subject already, you show new connections and perspectives to clarify how this beautiful language works, all presented with an understanding of the confusions an English speaker faces. Such a great channel!

Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful!

fiodor ,first of all thank you so much for your work . its really helpful and i like everything you are doing .i really appreciate it all can you please continue with the podcast series, you deserve so much better than this number , you are a very good teacher🌹❤

Thank you for the video! Your videos are extremely appreciated and this video helped me so much 😊

This is the best video on cases. I'm glad that you stick with a consistent now and so we can see the progression, like вода. Also I think a lot of English speakers do not remember English grammar, so your review is an excellent strategy!

This is super helpful! Thank you so much :)

❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉This is wonderful. This extremely useful. I love it. Spasibo bol'shchoe, Fedor!

Thanks a lot Fedor for this really useful et interesting videos and lesson about grammatical cases in russian language ! you're the best teacher ever :)

Если бы я родилась носителем другого языка, я бы никогда не села изучать русский в качестве иностранного😂😂

As a portuguese native speaker I've struggled a lot to learn cases in german. This video helps me to refresh many things and summarizes in a few minutes what i couldnt unterstand properly for years. Thank you Fedor.

Thanks for the awesome lesson, dude! I'm Russian, and I've been honing my English conversation skills with native speakers for a few months now. We sometimes dive into grammar discussions, and man, explaining the fundamental differences between Russian and English can be a real challenge. Russian grammar is so intuitive to me that putting it into words can feel like wrestling a grizzly bear. But hey, I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. Next time, I'll absolutely be able to explain the core concepts, and maybe even go beyond the basics.

Those 4 shared forms for feminine remind me how in Pali there’s also 4 shared forms of noun declensions and adjectives in singular form wow! This is a crazy find

you explain the subject so well 🎉

Love this man, thank you Fyodor for all these videos you've put out here on youtube, this one here and your older videos helped me out greatly in traversing Russian. Thanks 🙏

The best lesson defining cases I've come across in 2 years. I'm feeling less overwhelmed and of course I bookmarked this to return to and peruse the tables.

Самое лучшее объяснение в мире того что такое прямое и косвенное дополнение и связь падежей с ними. Изучали русский в школе 10 лет и никто по нормальному не мог так объяснить

Very useful lesson, thank you!

Very clarifying

This is a struggle for me for sure. I’ve been focusing a lot on input and I’ve grown my vocabulary quite a bit. But when I want to speak I always hesitate because even though I know the dictionary word for something, I don’t know what the ending would be given the sentence. Russian is so hard because I have to consider the gender, if it’s plural or singular, then the conjugation of the verb and then the cases. It’s so hard to think of all of these on the spot. Thank you for your videos they do indeed help.

As a native speaker, I always compare Russian with Latin. The six cases of Latin resemble the system of the Russian language . There are also three declensions! "A complete Latin noun declension consists of up to seven grammatical cases: nominative, vocative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative and locative. However, the locative is limited to a few nouns: generally names of cities, small islands and a few other words." (Wikipedia)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Literally the best video I've found so far

Отличное видео, мне очень понравилось!👍🏻👍🏻 Однако мне показалось, что упущена одна не очень важная, но таки важная деталь - склонения. Мы в школе учили падежи в связке со склонениями, так мы учили и латынь в университете. Знание склонений помогает структурировать информацию в голове и упрощает понимание падежей

Amazing explanation!!! You have DEFINITELY found your calling in life!

In russia we learn cases by asking questions to nouns. Who/what - Nominative (Именительный, кто/что) Whose? - Genitive (Родительный, кого/чего/чей) For whom/for what (not "why") - Dative (Дательный, кому/чему) Whom/what - Accusative (Винительный, кого/что) By/with whom - Intrumental (Творительный, кем/чем) about/in/on whom/what - Prepositional (Предложный, о ком/о чем)

Finalmente i casi spiegati in maniera semplice.grazie

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and the tables, it was very helpful.

Love your content mate.

Thank you! I really find your videos very helpful 🙂

absolutely fantastic video

I'm switching between Russian, English, and French... so helpful to watch this video

Hello Fedor, your video lesson about cases is extremely important and so much needed by learners. Thank you so much.. Вода Воды Воду Воде Водой Воде

im pretty sure learing a new language is an amazing way to keep your brain healthy and sharp, so this complexity is probably beneficial in this regard aswell

Thanks a lot man! My russian is getting a lot better, after roughly 2 years I can understand what you are talking about and recognize some patterns, very enlightening! Question: if we are speaking with a russian native and end up using the wrong case will they be able to understand without a problem? Or will it sound like a completely different thing?

Большое спасибо, you're helping us a lot my man

Your most important video ever ❤

Thank you, such a good explanation

Você é o melhor, Brasil 🇧🇷

Brilliant!! Thanks Fyodor!!!

great examples, thank you

I have this still on flashcards from 40 years ago in college. The 'names' always froze me up...even in English. So I always just used "possession case', 'direst object case', 'prepositional phrase case'. Just my hang up I guess. Good vid! Isnt 'with my hands' a prepositional phrase?

Thank you, very clear explanation 😊

What an excellent teacher, huge thank you

Great video!!! This one is currently killing me with Russian and I speak Russia like its English. Most Russians get what I'm trying to say with a giggle. The only one that makes sense to me is prepositional.

Спасибо, что приоткрываете для нас дверку к загадочному и непостижимому РКИ

Best video about cases I've ever seen 👍

There’s also the Vocative Case that people still use, and the other Slavic languages still have

Great explanation, as always! Thank you!

Thank you so much for such a helpful video! I wish this Channel had a possibility to award a specific/ occasional $ contribution to thank this job.

I think everyone struggling with cases should watch this video. I personally don't think they are THAT tricky and I am enjoying them lol I'm a new Russian learner and I hope 6 months up from now, I'd have a much advanced level than of now. Also, remember to expose yourself more to the language and keep a diary for writing in your targeted language, you can use a translator if you're stuck in words and it's okay because that's how you will memorize words better. Good luck to you all!

Great illustration Vedor, спасибо большое 🌹

My native language is Serbian and cases in Russian are a bit different from my language, but I can logically tell how certain words change endings. I never really studied cases.

Totally confused, I think I'm gonna learn Russian from scratch. I love your video, btw!❤

This is gold, thank you!

Wonderful info, great presentation, спасибо for your vids and the worksheets!

This is easy to understand if you have studied Ancient Greek and Latin. It remains nevessary ony to memorize the different endings for each case , etc.

Extremely well explained. 👍🏼

❤❤ can't thank you enough for such an awesome rich video

Native speakers also learn cases in school, grade 5-6, so not all of these are intuitive and easy to even russians themselves. It is to say, it's okay to make mistakes as a language learner, don't be discouraged !! Practice makes perfect

I'm a native russian speaker and I think now I understand what a headache it is for foreigners ... more complicated than German. Like, the language is ingrained in us to such extent, that we don't notice its complexity anymore)

Ohh. Seriously you are make video very well. Then I improve my Russian language and English also.... ❤😊 thank you.. Carry on.

Fedor, can you explain the different ways to say "so" (conjunction) in Russian? I know поэтому is more like "That's why," but I don't understand the contexts to use значит or так.

Благодарю за ролик. Теперь я с большой уверенностью могу сказать, что знаю падежи русского языка. С любовью из России. P.S.Я вообще не понимаю почему в рекомендациях мне вылазят твои видео, но it was fun to watch.

Very interesting. I got into Russian through Duolingo, but the one problem with Duolingo's approach is it doesn't cover noun cases very well. They throw them all at you but they expect you to learn them implicitly, and it was very confusing at first. I didn't know why I kept getting the noun wrong because I was picking the wrong ending, and then I realized there's a ton of different noun forms based on the case.

прозвучит странно, но я подписался на вас, чтобы выучить английский)) именно такого контента мне нехватало.. осталось где-нибудь найти TG чаты по изучению иностранных языков. после инглиша хочу заняться испанским, чешским или исландским (пока не решил с чего начать) 🙃

I am a teacher. So I tell everyone, this is a great video. I have taught English, the gammar is just as spooky to non English speaking students. Talk about irregular verbs for starters. Past, present and future tenses. U get it?

I am Polish and to comfort all English-speaking and Spanish-speaking people, I will say that in Polish we have one more case than in Russian :) Great lesson.

Thank you so much for these videos! Can someone explain the table for nouns a little further? I’m confused what the “consonant” means and why there are two nouns per box and what the green highlighted letters mean
