Really useful phrases that can possibly be modified as...... мы едем - we are on the way or призакрыть to close a window, or door, or curtain (занавес)
I was told by a native Russian not to say "очень приятно" and instead say "приятно познакомиться." He said "очень приятно" sounds too happy, only said by tourists, and Russians will look at me weird despite it being correct, but "приятно познакомиться" sounds more appropriate overall. What do you think about all this, Fedor?
@@marfa8457 No, maybe something like ага, приятно will do, if you have trouble pronouncing познакомиться . You can also say приятного if you start a meal with somebody, or see/hear a person having a meal (in a call for example) Full phrase приятного аппетита - bon appetit
Hello Fedor, thank you so much. I was pleased to find that I know several of these already. Could i ask you please to pronounce the whole sentence two times, and maybe one of those slowly? I have to stop/play so many times now to catch the right pronounciation, so that would be really helpful, thank you!
@@cathyrooks4872 uhm yes well of course, I know that. I was asking the teacher to slow down. For educational purposes. I can of course come back to Fedor later, when my listening ‘speed’ is faster.
New to this channel...I really love it & enjoy it..I hope to speak Russian enough to carry a conversation..I think Russia is beautiful & someday hope to visit..😊😁💟
Speaking of saying things fast. It would seem you are verbally/ audibly connecting all the words in a sentence, making it sound like one word. Thank you Фадор ~Коля~
Excellent thanks Федор, when you make these videos would you mind please not only putting the Cyrillic but maybe the English meaning below? I think thar would really help. Пока 👋
Adjectives and adverbs in English are often alike...especially if you use a form of the adverb that can drop the '-ly.' How soft (adverb) he sleeps. His bed is soft (adjective). But be careful! The adjective 'good' does not work as an adverb. One must use the adverb 'well.' He has a good voice. He sings well.
In Australian English we use the word 'toilet' to mean bathroom/washroom as well. In school kids will ask the teacher 'can I go to the toilet?' and it isn't considered rude at all. The same is true in French (I think, but maybe that's just the people I hang around) but in Italian they always say 'il bagno" which means bathroom, never 'le toilette'
You are teaching me English too, though I am a native speaker. For me "to crack a window" means "Разбивать окно"!!! (taxi-driver would not be happy). I would say "open the window a crack". But I looked it up, and you CAN say "crack the window" in that sense.
Is any context difference between Bsego Dobrogo and Beregite Sebya? Maybe the latter is better to say to people you really know like friends or relatives?
1. We rarely say "всего доброго", we say "всего (вам, тебе) хорошего". "Всего доброго" sounds too dramatic, because "доброго" is from "добро" which is "good" in terms of opposite to evil. "Хорошего" is from "хорошо" which is "good" in terms of "good stuff". But we say "доброй ночи" instead of "хорошей ночи", and "доброе утро" instead of "хорошее утро". But (yes it's tricky) we say "хорошего вам вечера" in terms of "have a good evening", and ”добрый вечер” in terms of "good evening". 2. The "берегите себя" is also too dramatic, it's filled with anxiety about other person's health. So "берегите себя" works when something terribly bad happened (broke a leg) or almost happened (just avoided car accident) or you imagine it could happen, and you wish person to take care of themselves extra cautiously. Word "берегите" is from "беречь", and works when you talk about something fragile or scarce. "Берегите forests from fire", "берегите bullets", "берегите your health".
I feel very proud of myself cause after 10 months of learning russian I finally got to the point where these videos seem very easy, I knew already most of the phrases 🥹
Tried to sign up for your course (basic) but only got a blank popup. Your site doesn't seem to like Brave browser. So I'll just carry on with the TH-cam vids.
What's the difference between приоткрыть окно and открыть окно tho? I mean, what does that prefix add to the meaning? Or it's just to give the idea of one time action/future
Not a native speaker, so don't trust me 100% on this. Still, I think the prefix при- here adds the meaning of 'slightly' so the word приоткрыть would mean something like open the window slightly, just a little gap. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
1. Вас плохо слышно. || I can't hear you. 2. Что? Ещё раз || What? Pardon? 3. Можно по карте? || Can I pay by card? 4. Очень приятно(Приятно познакомиться) || Nice to meet you. 5. Где у вас туалет || Where's the toilet? 6. Помогите пожалуйста || Pls help 7. У вас есть... || Do you have...? 8. Можно пакет? || Can I have a bag, please? 9. Сейчас вернусь || I'll be back soon. 10. Секундочку || 11. Я выехал/я еду || 12. Скоро приеду || I'll be there soon. 13. Всего доброго || Take care/Goodbye 14. Курьер скоро приедет || I'll arrive soon! 15. Можно приоткрыть окно? || Could you pls open the window?
I dont know nothing about russian alphabet nor how to pronounce it. Am i fit to join the course? Or shall i need to study first the russian alphabet and its pronounciation?
Щас is how you would hear it quite often instead of сейчас. Still both forms are perfectly fine in colloquial speech. You can also say сечас (like Fedor did).
When I went to Russia and I was in a shop I said И СУМКА ПОЖАЛУЙСТА they looked at me strangely and questioned 'пакеты?' so I smiled and nodded, probably confusing them further but I got one in the end.
2:30 payin by card eh?....if ya in lockdown, cross the road,av a burger, paywCard, a record ofya trans is There!..,,,ratrap has sprung!.....memorize that now!

I was literally just thinking about how I need to learn more phrases in Russian, perfect timing fr 🙏
Really useful phrases that can possibly be modified as......
мы едем - we are on the way
or призакрыть to close a window, or door, or curtain (занавес)

What do you think about all this, Fedor?
:0 but what if I am happy in that moment :,(
We shall spread Happinness in Russia then.
I don't share his sentiment lol both are pretty neutral in my opinion. Очень приятно is just easier to pronounce.
@@BeFluentinRussian Is "приятно" by itself ok? Have to keep with the stoic 'man of few words appearance' lol
@@marfa8457 No, maybe something like ага, приятно will do, if you have trouble pronouncing познакомиться .
You can also say приятного if you start a meal with somebody, or see/hear a person having a meal (in a call for example) Full phrase приятного аппетита - bon appetit
This video was very helpful for me living in Krasnodar for a month. Please more videos like this.
Thanks Fedor, you're the best teacher.
Федор - хороший человек!
Your English is incredible!
Seriously amazing channel!
Замечательное видео)) Hoping for more videos like this one, they are super helpful to speak more like a native 🙏🌟

TH-cam offers the option of SLOWING DOWN the videos:
click on "gear" icon under video (on desktop),
or the three dots on upper right if on mobile.

Bro, I’m enrolling. Looking forward to it.
You’re an excellent teacher Fedor , can’t find the link for beginner learning

You do things well because you are good at them. Yes this may be confusing for an English learner.

Nice video!! :D
Very useful phrases, thanks Fedor! I especially appreciate the cultural insights, like bags not being free (uncommon practice in the US)
does your be fluent plate-forme have Russian cursive lessons or practice exercises.
Is vsevo dobrava can be use to anyone? Relatives,friends,strangers,older people or to anyone?
Спасибо! :В
Sir I am a big fan of your teaching Russian language.I am from India.
Are those phrases are for "free" use or only for masculine form?
You are teaching me English too, though I am a native speaker. For me "to crack a window" means "Разбивать окно"!!! (taxi-driver would not be happy). I would say "open the window a crack". But I looked it up, and you CAN say "crack the window" in that sense.
Man this is so much more real and fun than Duolingo

When I lived in Moscow in 1987, I memorized this sentence: Пожалуйста, отвезите меня в американское посольство.

11. I'm on my way.
How to use вы , ты and вас? Im confused because I usually use ты but i see many people uses вас at times but never know what it is. Same with ваши
I dont know nothing about russian alphabet nor how to pronounce it. Am i fit to join the course? Or shall i need to study first the russian alphabet and its pronounciation?
Yes you are! We will have alphabet lessons for you once you join!
👍👍
So when people say what sounds like "shas vernus" its really seichas or abbreviated
Щас is how you would hear it quite often instead of сейчас. Still both forms are perfectly fine in colloquial speech. You can also say сечас (like Fedor did).
-Что, еще раз- Я не расслышал, ...
-Сколько время?- Который час?
итд.
does it make sense to use всего доброго in online chats?
Yes!
Still it sounds formal. If you are younger and want to keep it easy - пока-пока, до скорого, бай, всего, ну - будь.
When I went to Russia and I was in a shop I said И СУМКА ПОЖАЛУЙСТА they looked at me strangely and questioned 'пакеты?' so I smiled and nodded, probably confusing them further but I got one in the end.
Sumka is like a purse/bag not the grocery bags. Grocery bags are called paket
@@ryan6600 He confused the words "sum" and "sumka".
*A как можно вкратце спросить, можно ли расплачиваться кредитной картой?*
Можно картой?
Можно по карте?
You may also just show a card and say: "Картой."("With card.") Or "Карта." ("Card.").
@@user-wv5hl2ro5k Большое спасибо!
the last one only in summer...
можно по карте? Translated by both my translators is "can I use the map?" So a bit confusing.
Map and card are both "карта".
Fedor ---- please say the russian more than once ! for us newbies, once at normal speed is not enough... tnx
Aliens controlling my network y'all did an amazing job finding someone looking like Louie scary but well appreciated the effort 👍
1) Что? Ещё раз
2) Извините не знаю Русский
😌👍
💝👏👍
Fedor! Ю р а рилий грэйт учитель чувак, благодарю
I'm an English teacher living in Kyiv Ukraine!)
Why can’t I ask “мне можно открыт окно?»?
Ayooo
TH-cam seems to think this is Indonesian..... Lol. Meaning "come on." I'll definitely be using this to confuse people.
@@DickShooter как смешно хаха
@@DickShooter Hehe, then it might as well be Armenian. Ayo means yes, so Ayooo is Yeees!
You literally just have to know one phrase:
"Английский, пожалуйста."
funny guy lol
👍 "На английском, пожалуйста" or "по-английски, пожалуйста"
@@vasianina О, спасибо русская девушка.
ГДЕ У ВАС ТУАЛЕТ? It doesn't mean like: where and you WC ?????
Hi Fedor. Last I knew, you were in USA. Are you in Russia now?
you say the russian part way to fast
@be fluent in Russian bro you should write it also in English so that we can take a screenshot

If the goal is to teach Russian, you speak too much English, please speak more Russian and let's hear the pronunciations
