      I have been studying Russian on my own on and off for a few years because I love the culture and the provenance of Russia's heritage. I am age 59. this week I met a Russian speaker who invited me to her Russian language Slavic church! Bread of Life in Rogersville MO. I am so excited because I can learn and worship at the same time. Also, I too give compliments to complete strangers! Most are OK with it but some look at me like I am an idiot. No, I just have a smiling heart. Also, I live in the Ozarks and play bluegrass music. We are "Hillbilly's" in the sense that; we have deep roots in the country farm life, but also we have colloquialisms here that have their beginnings in King James bible words and phrases. A bandmate of mine and I have been cataloging them. For example; Here we may say "Wow! That car 'like-to' run over me!" He and I surmise that perhaps this phrase was a malapropism of "Likened unto" as in the KJV "Likened unto death". Because of the 'backwoods' nature of the area before indoor plumbing or electricity (My grandparents and my father had neither until he was about 12) the bible was always at hand, so I think that a lot of these "Old English" terms were woven into our vernacular and remain as vestiges of a simple time and simple (not stupid) people. BASHOOOLTS SPIESEEBO!!!!

      I think it depends of people goals and how American they want to speak. In Spanish we refer to people with "usted" and "tu", we change parts of our sentence with "usted" to make it more formal and with English I feel lost no using this because there's no difference, like very disrespectful. I just try to speak as polite as I can to reflect my "usted" in English without saying it. I think it's cool what indians say and when they'll talk to me I would do my best to give my Usted for them as a reprocive respect :)

    Be careful of regional differences when it comes to English politeness registers. I'm American and moved from Michigan (midwest, near Canada) to Georgia (US - where Atlanta is) when I was 8. Suddenly, everyone thought I was rude because I didn't call all adults "ma'am" and "sir," and I didn't call the parents of my classmates "Mr/Mrs First name." I had never said "ma'am" or "sir" in my young life at that point - in Michigan, a little kid doing that would seem almost sarcastic! Of course, 30 years later, when I go home to Michigan, everyone thinks I'm a little weird/overly polite because I now call everyone "ma'am" or "sir" out of habit. It usually takes me a week or so to adjust back and forth!
    So when it comes to politeness registers in English, ask a native *to the area* how people address each other where you are... not just an American (or for that matter, a British/Irish/Canadian etc), find someone local and ask them what the usual terms of address are where you're currently standing... and don't worry that they'll think you're weird, it's something native English speakers learn to ask each other too - "Hey, do you say ma'am and sir here? Does your mom prefer Mrs. Last Name or should I call her by her first name?" etc.
    (Also, "supper" is still used in some parts of the American South to mean "dinner". It's becoming less common now, but in the town I moved to and still live near, I would often be asked if I would like to stay for supper. That was another word I'd only seen in books before!)

      @@andrelangraf6850 Yes, sometimes. It depends on the people doing the talking. Where they're from, how old they are, where they grew up, sometimes what economic class they come from can all affect who might say "supper" and who might say "dinner". So can the occasion. I've never called Christmas dinner "supper," but the meals we have on Fridays during Lent are always "fish suppers." Why? I have no idea, that's just what my family and I have always said. :) The important thing to know is both words are understood by English speakers. We'll know what you mean no matter which one you use. When in doubt, "dinner" is much more common, but "supper" will still work fine.

      @@andrelangraf6850 You're welcome. I know the frustration very well. I'm learning Irish and Russian, and finding native Irish speakers who can answer the question "will I be understood if I use X?" is sometimes *literally* impossible... you get a wall of text about the three different dialects and seventeen exceptions and you're thinking "okay, but which can I use for now, while I'm learning, until I'm ready to get my head around all that other stuff?" Russian has been much easier to get clear answers on those kinds of questions. I'm sure it's because Russian has more native speakers, and therefore more people who are willing to take the time to explain things from a learner's perspective. Good luck with your studies!

      You are correct. If you're using 'nice' for beauty, you say, "She's nice-looking" but we would normally use "good-looking" or "She's hot/attractive" but you only use those if you're talking to your friend about the person. If you're talking directly to the person, you say things like "You're (so) pretty!" or "You look amazing!" or "You're beautiful." Saying "You're nice." will just be taken as saying they are a good person.

      Sofia... i think i have an explanation for this (possibly, maybe). The term "data" didn't come into use until smartphones became available. It was essentially a term created by the service providers. The word "data" came to represent an actual quantitative thing that directly determined one's phone bill. Whereas "having internet" became a common expression in the US from the mid 1990s onward. And is still used today if one is referencing their laptop, tablet, or desktop, because one's bill is not determined by data usage. ...but you probably already know that : )

    I am a native English speaker. Supper is normative throughout the American South. It is breakfast, dinner and supper, though some are now calling the midday meal lunch. Madame is no longer common, but mam is de rigor, especially in the deep South. I sometimes view TH-cam videos of people teaching English as a foreign language because there are so many observations about the language that native speakers never think about unless trying to explain to non-native speakers. Your productions are particularly enjoyable because you are a lively, energetic and pleasant young woman who, if I may be so old-fashioned to say so, is beautiful as well as intelligent. I am sure you are helping many people. One observation not related to language, Americans will be straightforward and will intervene or interfere in your life if they feel really close to you.

      Ruchi Bhavsar I used to say, “ it’s brilliant!” But most of the people here say, “it’s great!”
      Also, notice people here like to say, “it’s hard.” More than, “it’s difficult”

    Astute observations, Marina! Just a few quick notes:
    - "Supper" is just a synonym for "dinner." It is more commonly used in Midwestern and Southern states. "Dinner" is actually the more formal term and would apply for any special event.
    - "Madam" is almost never used, but "ma'am" is a common formal address for a woman. "Miss" also works well as you noted.
    - "How's it going?" and "What's going on?" are just as common as any of the how-are-you questions, and they would fit nicely in your short list.
    - You can follow up a statement with "right?" or the types of constructions you gave as examples. But yes, "no?" is strange! ;)
    - There's nothing odd about consecutive affirmative expressions, such as "Yeah, sure" or "Sure, no problem." They can be made a little unnecessarily intense by adding emphasis or speed, but uttered in a normal tone, they are perfectly natural!
    I used to think there was American English and British English, but then I learned that there are even further mutations like Russian English! Don't forget to address expressions like "on holiday," "go to the cinema," "active rest," "city center," and "where's the toilet?" in your next such video! :)

    I was studying in English school and everyone in my class kept calling "teacher" but its was kind of weird for me
    If saying about my experience, when i had been in USA i've noticed that they used to add "one" to words saying about singular things like "this one" or "black one" but no one teacher in Russia taught me that. Also almost no one use "Hello" and "Goodbye", the more use "good morning", "hey, how are you", "see you later", "take care" instead usual words which we used to see in english books.

  • @ariannam.2407
    @ariannam.2407 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    First, I'd like to thank you so much, Marina. You are such an inspiration! I noticed that in British English 'isn't it?' or 'aren't we'? At the end of a sentence is more used than in American English.
    I've found two wrong expressions in Italian books for learning English but i guess there are so many others.
    1)"How are you? Fine, thanks". I realized no one really uses it because it's too formal. They'd rather use 'how are you doing?' and it's not necessary to answer.
    2)''bye bye" was used instead of ' see you later' or 'see you tomorrow' to end a conversation between two people who normally see each other.

  • @andreadelacruz590
    @andreadelacruz590 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Language is so tied to local culture it can be hard to adapt. I'm a Californian and Ma'am is usually only used as a term for an older woman, anyone under the age of 40 is usually cringing inside when they're called "Ma'am". Again though, if you're not from the area it may not be an issue for you. Another series of phrases we use a lot that can be confusing are the following 3. I think they're helpful to know. "No Yeah" = Yes, "Yea No" = No, "No Yeah, For sure" = Definitely.

    this was a wonderful video. i am a native english speaker so i watched out of curiosity but still learned something! it suddenly clicked that it’s not a coincidence or common “mistake” that so many non native speakers i know say, “how do you call this”, which i always perceived as a slip in, what often is otherwise fluent, english. as you pointed out, it feels incredibly uncomfortable for me to say something negative to someone, i am unlikely to correct anyone the next time i hear it, but depending on the relationship and context, i may mention how i saw your video and pass on your suggestion to say, “what”. all of your suggestions were very accurate and i encourage all viewers to make these modifications.

    I was told that " How do you do? " was supposed to be answered with the same question, like some sort of greeting to someone you have never met before.
    If that’s correct, how do you know if the person addressing you means " how’s it going? ", or really means " Nice to meet you! " ?
    And is it correct to answer " How do you do? " with " How do you do? ", or is it kinda old school?
    I love your content by the way. Your videos really help me stepping my game up.

    Hi! I'm a spanish native speaker and I went to Canada for a language course for about a month. What I found curious was that they have a kind of "neutral" accent (which helped me a lot in understanding them) and that they write some words like honor or color in the american english way and other words like neighbour and flavour in the british english way.
    By the way, I love your content, it's helped me a lot to improve my language skills.

  • @trion95
    @trion95 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I have been in many English countries. Starting from Australia to UK then US and last be not least Canada. What I really noticed to be a big difference is when "how are you?" is just used to greet someone. I mean when people literally walk away saying it 😂 Another thing is related to the accent, I'm Italian and I was really concerned about my accent. The amazing news is that Americans love accents (or atleast the one I met). They encouraged me to keep my accent, everytime I say something like "I would like to sound more American" they reply back "what for? That's your accent and it doesn't make you any less than anyone. Be proud of it" .
    Great video as usual Marina 😍 always waiting for the next one 🤩

  • @MrFixit-fb5bu
    @MrFixit-fb5bu 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The term "Supper" is still used. It is mostly used in the Midwestern U.S. from the Dakotas to Texas, and in the Southeastern U.S. I'm not sure about the Northeast, but since I have lived in CA for a good while now, I realize that it is practically never used here. Supper is the evening meal with just your immediate family, like Mom, Dad, and kids. If there is a guest, it's a dinner. If extended family is invited, it's a dinner. The formal dinners are Thanksgiving, and Christmas dinner, and then the 4th of July, is usually a "cook-out", and informal lunch in the daytime, but it is almost never referred to as a lunch or luncheon.

    Thank you for such an illuminating video. There is one expression that I found different from what i've learned from English course which is the response to "I'm sorry". Instead of saying, 'it's okay', 'never mind', the native speaker of English said "Don't be!" It sounds weird and rude at the first time I heard it. Is it okay to respond that way in formal situation? Thanks
    Christin: "I'm so sorry"
    Amanda: "Don't be!"

Thanks God, the person who was helping us with the reservation, understood her strong willing to express herself and guided her to the bathroom.
