The RUSSIAN Language

Why are you calling old bulgarian old church slavonic? Say it for what it is my friend,dont be shy.

Basically old bulgarian.

I learn Japanese first and I think it's the easiest. Structure and rules don't change. Spelled how it sounds. I Like Russian too but it more difficult.

Russian is no more important. І далі буде ще гірше І|І

я люблю Россию её любимую страну

I find shifting stress the most difficult when learning Russian

Wallachia-Wyoming. Russian(wallachian) was spoken here

nice

Russian and Bulgarian share many lexical similarities but differ markedly grammatically with Bulgarian being structurally not a Slavic language. Russian has been heavily influenced by Old Church Slavonic, also called Old Bulgarian, which was basically the language of the Slavs of the Bulgarian group but not of the old (Proto)Bulgarians. These numerous loanwords, reaching up to 80% in some Russian Texts, are called “slawisms” but should be more precisely renamed “bulgarisms”:

Despite the country’s enormous size, Russian dialects show fewer differences than those of other Slavic languages, not least because of Russia’s geography: a vast flat land with few mountains, which has facilitated interaction and communication among the population, as well as because of the strong political centralisation, which has also contributed to the unification of the language.

hello i like Russia

It’s kinda surprising how little variation there is.
I am fluent in both English and Russian and sometimes I struggle to understand some English dialects. Meanwhile in Russian there can be some slight variation based of region especially among older folks who learned Russian as a second language. This is fairly noticeable when you go to places like Kyrgizia but you have to pay attention to it unlike with english dialects which are extremely obvious. I think the reason for it was the soviet education system which kinda spread the standard Moscow-St. Pete Russian across the union and eliminated all dialectal variation as you said. And the Soviets were also much less regionalised than the Americans or the Brits so accents didn’t really develop at least on a regional scale. The extra funny part about this is that sometimes you can’t really tell what social class someone is from based on the way they speak if they are making an effort to sound polite unlike in Britain.

Russian verbs in their two aspects and many various tenses are a killer to the learner... I'm dealing with participles at the moment. The present participle does seem to be invariable, so things are looking up again...

Nice summation.

In Russian and Irish 'ladybird' translates into English as "Gods little cow".

Thank you, Paul -- interesting. LOVE Russian (hate Russia) but who can possibly get a handle on it's grammar! Do ordinary ppl follow all those intricacies in casual conversation?

I started learning Russian 5 days ago and feeling hopeless, this is a really difficult language, I'm almost 60 years old! A bit too late to start but I guess it's a good exercise to keep my mind supple. I love languages: I know Latin, French, Spanish, German, Italian and English.

Eventually Paul will make enough money from these videos to get a last name.

Is "salt" spelled "coat" like in the movie? LOL.

I belief our dna and past lives ..lol. help us learn new languages easier than others

I think I have seen a video of your’s before […this video ❤😂]

8:09 This is actually the same etymology as Vedas, the main Hindu scripture, meaning vision. Same with "video" in English.

how you say SHAME ON russia FOREVER

A Chechen gentleman told me years ago that Russian and Turkish were the most beautiful languages in the world. I have to agree.

Since I’m half Russian-Ukrainian-Armenian I’m learning Russian now to speak it with my family
🇷🇺🇺🇦🇦🇲

Looking at Russia now, you realize that the Austrian artist was right.

You didn't mention Rusophobia 🇷🇺🐻🪆

Why is Randy Orton teaching me on Russian Language? 😂

8:43 omg thats like 10x worse than Spanish idk if I wanna even try anymore

Fuck I just thought to myself I should learn Russian it would be cool but damn this seems like it’ll be hard I’m 5 years into Spanish and I speak it most of the day but omg I’m intimidated by the idea of Russian right now, I’m over here reconsidering and reevaluating… but honestly ugh I don’t have tu be perfect in it, it would be nice to simply communicate coherent ideas

Everywhere there's Moscow Russian. Other ones are not heard, and have minor differences from the language of the metropolis. The languages of minor nations are mostly dying

A famous quote that is common in developed countries. "All Russian men are bandits, and all Russian women are prostitutes." And it's hard to disagree with this quote.)

I hope that the Russian language will soon be banned all over the world.

I was a bit confused, when I was just a lad my sister married a guy who's family where Russian?, But I didn't realise that they were from The Ukraine, so now I'm not sure wether they spoke Russian, or Ukranian. My sister's mother in Law apparantly should have been a Russian Countess. They used to say they were Whit Russian?

Pushkin is the Shakespeare of Russia.

These examples with the word sister are a little... incestuous😄

Я заметил что даже у моих русских друзей язык иногда зацепляется)) потом они медленно и аккуратно повторяют слово и вперёд! продолжают хаххахха забавно

Я отвечаю, самое служно для иностарнцев после Падежи и св/нсв глаголы это УДАРЕНИЕ! не понятно как и где ставят его, даже иногда мне придется повторит слово три раза например дОгОгО стоит а потом они такие ааа дОрАгА стоит?)) но это интересно!)

I hear Russians are good at "motivating" foreign tourists to speak Russian. At least back when there still used to be tourists visiting Russia.

As an Indian the most challenging part about learning russian for me has so far been the pronunciation. Everytime I try to listen to people speaking russian they sound like they speaking too fast and everything goes over my head

It sounds AFRICANIZED IN INFLUENCE

When will the Russian language be banned all over the world?
