How to Pronounce Ы in Russian
มุมมอง 5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Hi guys! In this video I'm explaining how to pronounce the letter Ы in Russian. Some other tips that could help also: - make the "У" sound and try smiling while you do it; - think about the second syllable in the word "roses", this is one of the cases where this sound in English sounds very much alike to Ы in fast Russian speech, even though the resonances differ slightly in opinion; If there i...
Common Mistake for English Speakers Who Learn Russian: Soft and Hard Consonants

Hi, guys! My name is Pasha Kovalenko. I teach Russian for English speakers. In this video I'm talking about the difference between soft and hard consonants, or in other words palatalization. I found it to be quite tricky for native English speakers to pronounce soft consonants in Russian words. Here I'm explaining how to pronounce them.

One of the most helpful videos about Soft and Hard consonants! Thank you and I hope you keep posting Russian vidoes🥲
@@Daria-c7n thank you! I will. Took a bit of a break
i keep having this intrusive thought that there is no softness distinction on /r/ but i think i confuse it with some very different language (probably Irish)
@@fariesz6786 what do you mean by that? Do you mean that you can’t identify it when you hear it? Or that you can’t reproduce it?
Ц is hard but allows ЦИ to be soft
Ыyat.
To write Russian cursive, all you need to do is a set of inverted “u” shapes. It’s bound to mean something.
I don't hear the difference 😭😭
“You don’t have to roll your P” Me, an American, reading that as an American would: PFFT-
Sounds like a great articulation warm-up!
Главная ошибка Запада в том, что они думают, что в расее большинство русские. Х.й! Русских начал уничтожать Ванька Кровавый, а закончили краснопузые. Так, что как Катьку не называй, все одно - Параша!
ЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫ
thats the same sound "y" in guarani
As an example in English, isn't the m in music? Isn't that palatalized for simply just a y glide before the u?
Yes, most consonants + [j] as in music or new resemble Russian soft consonants. Same as if you try to pronounce them with an И as is often recommended when we are tought these sounds. The tongue movement is similiar. The difference is, however, in the lenght of that [j]. If it's too pronounced and too long, Russian speakers register it as Петья, and not Петя, for example.
Or as if we are tought in Russian phonetics, there is no [j], it's not identified as [j] in soft consonants. It's not [tj] but [т']. Russian phonetics finds this difference quite important and it's mirrored in our transcription.
Thanks!
Ы!
Hey, mate! I've just found your channel and this video was pure gold! 👏🏻 As a native Spanish speaker, this is deffo the hardest sound in Russian, I reckon I didnt find great difficulty with others in general 🤓
@@EmilioAt77 thanks a lot for the comment!
Every russian speaker or learner had now to speak out loud to see if they really know how to spell it anymore
ЫЫЫЫЫЫ😅
Hey, instead of translating it would be nice if you did comprehensible input, showing images so we can understand what words mean
@@NicoleGomez-j1w if you watched both of the episodes, you would notice that I do that sometimes. The format, whoever, is aimed to get through the whole episode so that people can watch later themselves. If I stop and explain every frame, that would be a 200 hundred episode series.
@@NicoleGomez-j1w I plan to make more comprehensible input videos in the future. But it doesn’t work for this particular format of reviewing a cartoon.
ЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫЫ
As a Russian named Яся I really appreciate your effort to explain this topic!
You should probably put a latin 'R' in your title too, to clear up any confusion and ambiguity
thank you!
Thank you♡
When you come to Russia, ask a gopnik to play with you and when he hits you in the stomach you will finally be able to say this sound
Native Russian here. If you know a bit about EQing probably you have an idea of what low-pass and high-pass filters are. Here are some approximations: щ = (sh) ш = (sh) + (low pass filter) т + (high pass filter) = (t) т = (t) + (low pass filter) ж = (j) - (the plosive part) + (low pass filter) и = (ee) ы = (ee) + (low pass filter) д = (d) + (low pass filter)
First time I see it explained this way 😆 probably the nerdiest one
Распространены ли эти микроволновые печи в России?
Наш слон
Улыбочку ыыыыы
Не знаю, почему это видео появилось у меня в рекомендациях. Пришлось вслух произнести Ы, чтобы проверить, не разучилась ли я говорить
Хахахаха, эта обложка с мемом, просто заставила меня нажать на этот видос 😂😂😂
😂
It was so easy for me to pronounce it because we have the same sound in Turkish. We have İ i and I ı so instead of the letter I i that we use in English we have two different I s. So in Russian I ı is ы İ i is и
That's cool to know. I always wondered what that letter is when I saw it in Germany
no, thats different vowels. turkish I sound means unrounded high back vowel [ɯ] but russian Ы sound means unrounded high central vowel [ɨ]. technically english [ɪ] sound more approximately to russian [ɨ] than turkish [ɯ]. moreover, many people actually pronounce this sound that way, especially south russians. so if you will pronounce english ɪ instead of russian ы, no one will notice that.
I can say this letter and when I say this letter my bass launches out
А2?!. 😮 Если студенты с А2 это понимают - они круты, снимаю шляпу.
It reminds me of the Korean "Eun" sound. It seems to be guttural and come from deep inside of your abdomen.
Отлично всё объяснил, мне понравилось! Вроде всё понятно и дожно быть просто в дальнейшем. Отличное упражнение для начала могло бы быть прекрасное русское предложение с пятью ЛИ подряд "Полили ли лилии?"
@@viniaz2997 отличная идея!
ы is the nonwritten sound that goes between b and r in brrrrrrrr
Thanks! Please cover the pronunciation of "Volha"!
Это одинаково для всех во всех языках. Дело в правильной артикуляции. Вот ей и нужно обучать ( но это дико скучно, неинтересно). Да ещё и нужно очень много guided практики.

It is most useful to just put letters on the screen and pronounce them to hear the difference. It’s often over complicated. The soft vowels are a glide, preceded by a y. In other words yo instead of o and so on. Not a vowel y but a consonant y. This affects the preceding consonant. The y right after the consonant raises the tongue and affects the consonant. Then there are the small handful of consonants that are considered either hard or soft on their own. You just memorize them.

Jesus, 15 minutes on how to pronounce this sound! Ok I will watch, this is Ы ' s last chance with me 🤣
Please do it, imho this video is a goldmine of effective tips and information
Romanian language use more than most slavic languages this sound, except polish. Turkic languages use more
Î/â in romanian
Încântat for example, or împărat(emperor)
European Portuguese as well(unstressed "e").
@@sledgehog1 is not the same
@@thieph To me it is.
so this is the sound I make when my math teacher asks me something I don't know... I understand now
Fun fact: Yery (thats what the letter Ы is called in English) is the only of the yer letters (keep in mind they don't really have any relation to the proto-slavic "yers"s but I use the term "yer" just for convenience) of the cyrillic script to still have a phonemic value in russian, the others, yer/Ъ and yere/Ь (yer and yere were what ъ & ь were called before the reform of 1918) are the other “yer”s.
I mean, ы is basically ъ+і.
Personally, I focus on the consonant just before the letter ы. If I pronounce the consonant in the hard manner, the sound ы will be automatically correctly pronounced. Fortunately, I know only one context where ы is pronounced alone, without any consonant before it, it is in the title of the soviet film "Операция ы и другие приключения Шурика", so I generally pronounce ы correctly. For me, the most difficult sound in Russian is the letter р (both soft and hard). For context, my native language is French.
@@Marguerite-Rouge merci pour votre commentaire! I only can compare П to English P! I don’t know French that well yet. Do you think that the French p is similar to the English one?
@@pashakovalenko690 Sorry, I wrote р in the cyrillic alphabet! In French, we use the uvular trill to pronounce the sound r, but in Russian, it is an alveolar trill very difficult to reproduce for a French speaker.
@ ah you mean the Р! Then I misunderstood you. The Р is def very different from the French one. The lesson on Р is already on my list, so it will come out sooner than later
@@pashakovalenko690 Большое спасибо! Я посмотрю видео с удовольствием!
how about л? this is the hardest one for me, it doesn't sound always the same 😭
@@butterflyagnieszka thank you for the comment! I’ll add it to my list of topics.
It depends on what goes after л,it"s pronounced either with tongue tip or the back part of it lifts up.
I'm russian person, and also can't pronounce it correctly, especially with "a" after it. And many others also can't, so don't worry too much.
@@idopshikа как вы <л> произносите? О_о
@@UnQuacker прикинь, никак с твердыми гласными (больше похоже на "в". С мягкими без проблем. И таких полно если прислушиваться.
French also has vowels that are subtly different to their English counterparts. When the French produce the sound spelled /i/ in IPA, for example in the word “y”, they bare their teeth, giving the sound intensity. The vowel in “beat” is more relaxed.
I'm just a beginner trying to learn Russian on my own and your videos are very interesting - I like the technical explanations (as I'm a foreign language teacher myself too). I didn't know that пиши has the same sound as мы. They sound so different to me (for context I'm a native speaker of Spanish and a C2 in English). I would have said (from what I hear) that the и in пиши is closer to the short i (like in "ship") in English. But the sound in мы sound so much tenser and "deeper" as you described at the beginning. Am I too wrong? :D
@@LucretiaEv thank you for your kind words! Which syllable in пиши do you have in mind? You mean the second right? We pronounce it as п’ишы. I think it’s maybe me exaggerating it a bit to get the point across. In fast speech and how I pronounce it in пиши it’s very dialled back so it’s closer to like “ship”. Also the consonants has to have something to do with it. M is much tenser, than ш.
But then the more I think of it, пиШЫ и МЫ, ы in them sounds the same. And I in ship is a point of reference, but it’s not exactly the same. I think it’s the consonant before them that affects our perception and also it affects their pronounciation slightly. With M we close our mouth and then it’s sort of like an tense explosion in the vowel. With Ш it’s a hissing sound, there is already air going through, so Ы is adapts to this sound and is affected by it.
@@pashakovalenko690 Now that you mention it that way, I think I understand what you mean. But in short, I feel I can say the unstressed version of ы better than the stressed one for sure 😅
@ I know exactly what you mean lol!
Thank you for this again Pasha, this is probably the sound I struggle with the most.
@@CheLanguages thank you for the comment!
@@pashakovalenko690 No problem. I'm finding your channel very interesting and I you're clearly knowledgeable. I hope your channel will get the recognition it deserves. Could I perhaps share this video to my viewers?
@ yes, I would very much appreciate if you could share the link to my videos or channel with your audience!
