    Honestly, russian language should have accents in the stressed syllables because I kill myself to fugure out where the stress is and still most of them I get it wrong. Thank god the lessons book I have show where the stress is...

    No joke, I'm struggling so hard with that “O”. Everyone should start writing “Ó”, so a learner like me will know that it is pronounce as “O”. Real struggle.

    English and Russian are similar to this, I have noticed. Like the word "not". In many languages it would be like "Nat" (short A). But, as an english speaker I know that many vowels have different sounds depending on the word.

    In Polish we have similar words like: komputer, robota, człowiek, barszcz, chleb, prospekt, Władywostok. But "O" is always read as "O", whenever it is read stressed or not.

    In the northern dialects of the Russian language, the letter O is pronounced as O. In our time, such pronunciation is considered obsolete. For example, so they say in small towns and villages of the Vologda region

    I was always taught that stressed O is O. In the syllable immediately before the stress is A so Москва is MaskvA. Anywhere else in a word, either after the stress or more than one syllable before the stress it is more like the unstressed e in English 'the', or French je' (schwa ə) so rather than malakO it's məlakO.

    Bonjour Fedor, Hello Fedor,
    J'ai une question qui n'a aucun rapport avec cette vidéo. Quand utiliser l'instrumental (Творительный падеж) ou l'accusatif (винительный падеж) après le verbe Быть ? Voici des exemples troublants : я хочу быть учителЕМ ; Горбачёв был пассивнЫЙ потому что ... ; Падение стены для Горбачёва в начале было не самЫМ важнЫМ вопросОМ
    Pourquoi utilise-t-on l'instrumental ou l'accusatif ?
    Dans l'attente de ta réponse.
    Bien à toi.

      Cette règle est pas très stricte, Pierre. Vous pouvez utilisez les deux, mais c'est mieux d'utiliser ТВОРИТЕЛЬНЫЙ. La règle est comme ça : pour des qualités permanentes on utilise ИМЕНИТЕЛЬНЫЙ: мой папа был русский, cette qualité il n'a pas obtenu, elle est permanente ! Mais beaucoup de russes font de fautes. Comparez : он был хорошим учителем / il était un bon professeur.Cette qualité était obtenu pendant sa vie. C'est une qualité temporaire, alors ТВОРИТЕЛЬНЫЙ.

    So, why the orthography of these words is with o? This means that some time, these words have been pronounced with o as o. Do you know when this changed and why?

    • @LiveRussian
      @LiveRussian 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are still regions in Russia, where people pronounce O as O, pronouncing it as A is called "московский говор / Moscow's way of speaking", by the way, these unstressed O are not really A, they're pronounced as swallowed A, the further they are from the stressed syllable. Look, the word МОЛОКО nobody pronounces as МАЛАКО, it's more like М'ЛАКО. There is a brilliant video about it on the channel Russian Grammar, the video is called "vowel reduction"

    • @user-uu4kz8sr5i
      @user-uu4kz8sr5i 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The letter O was spoken in ancient times, a thousand years ago. The Moscow dialect absorbed both the southern and northern sounds and they mixed, under Soviet rule all dialects were unified by themselves (almost all of them died out except for Moscow).
      Now they write O, because in Russian the stress of words changes in different cases, so all words look unified.
      It is necessary to speak O as A only in unstressed positions.
      If you speak O as O, you will sound with a foreign accent, in Russian all dialects have died out.
      O is spoken in Ukraine, A in Belarus (Ukrainians who speak Russian do not speak O, even if they have an accent).
      In my opinion, it is very surprising that in such a vast space everyone speaks the same way. This is the advantage of the Russian language.

      @user-uu4kz8sr5i 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      And then how do you know what sound to pronounce when the stress shifts? And the stress is constantly shifting in the Russian language.
      MalakO (молоко), malOchnyj (молочный).
      POle (поле), paljA (поля).
      MOrje (море), marjA (моря).
      In the Russian language, a writing system with test words, and if you write as you hear, then you yourself (foreigners) will stop recognizing the words, because each form of the word will look very different.

      @@user-uu4kz8sr5i Are you serious? you will just hear what you hear. if there is a stress you dont need to change the letter just remember it. you make it harder for foreign learners when you change the letter. Why do i have to recognize each word. Lets do this then. Take MalakO and remember it as banana. the world banana doesnt represent the letters but the world MalakO only. when you hear MalakO you write banana you should recognize words as. This is what you are telling me in other words. Then can i ask you a question. What is the purpose of having letters. Why dont you simply have characters for each words like Mandarin language?
