    Hi Fedor. Could you please start saying the names in russian of the topics you are discussing? This way it would be easier to learn while talking to other Russian speakers. For example you could say how to ask "What is gender of X?" or "Can you help me with conjugation of X". I would love to see that. Other idea I have is an explanation how to start writing cyryllic on computer keyboard and how to get used to it. Thanks :)

    Фёдор, кофе когда он впервые попал в Россию называли "Кофей" и по этому он стал мужского рода.

    • @Kycko_
      @Kycko_ 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Кофий.
      It was masculine like another drinks like чай, сок, etc. It was transformed later into кофе, but it still was masculine.
      Nowadays in Russian language both masculine and neuter genders aren't a mistake. It's just because our people couldn't remember this exception too 😂 But masculine is a literary norm, while neuter is just colloquial and is a modern change. I don't like using кофе with neuter gender, and I like people who use it as masculine 😋

    • @nicholassamorodov2182
      @nicholassamorodov2182 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The history of the word кофе in Russian is quite complicated. Some say it's the other way around: first was gender and later came forms кофей/кофий but it wasn't common and at some point started to be considered voulgar in order to emphasize the difference between the strata (i.e. aristocrats, merchants, peasants, and bourgeois). The most propable version is that masculine gender comes not from gender of the word coffee in the language it was borrowed from but from influnce of french language (in which it's masculine) and culture on the upper class during XVIII-XIX centuries: coffee was accessible for aristocrats mostly and they usualy were French native speakers.

      *If it ends with hissing* (idk if it's called like that when translated into English) *consonant (ж, ш, щ, ч) before ь - it's definitely feminine.* (Russians btw learn this rule in another way: We learn that if noun ending with hissing consonant is in nominative case and feminine it ends with ь and in other situations you shouldn't add anything) *In other situations it's also often feminine, but not always, so you have to just learn it.*

    and when to use the different gendered forms of "это" (like is "это ручка" correct even though we are using the neuter form of "это" and "ручка" is a feminine noun?)

      In russian we have the proper name "Caша" wich is a tender form either for "Александр" ("Alexander" - boy)) or for ("Alexandra" - girl))
      the only problem with "Caша" is to replace it with correct pronoun, ("he" or "she"?), if you're not acquainted before or don't know who's that "Саша"))
