I’m Russian and speak English, and watching your videos so interesting for me , to see how you explain not easy things about our language! And you do it perfectly👍🎉
I'm English you say my apartment, but you don't own it. Свой means it's dear to you and also could mean that you own it. Russian is complicated. When talking about trust, when you say Свой человек, it means that this person is one of us and can be trusted.
In English they have the same problem as we have in Spanish: when you say “they love their house” or “he loves his house”, you might be talking about a third party, that is they could love the house of somebody else, or he could love the house of another person. In Russian they solve the potential confusion with “свой”
I love my own house. They love their own house. My/your/his/her/its/their+own = Russian's свой. That's more correct. But they have a really straight forward way of solving this problem. Kudos to them.
This channel is an absolute gem. I can just take out my notebook and start writing, since I already know it's going to be an incredibly informative and helpful video.
Я люблю мой/свой дом both are absolutely correct. Though, yes, native speakers will probably choose the pronoun свой in this context. But anyway, this doesn't mean it is incorrect, as you say.
Can you describe a situation where a native speaker would probably choose мой instead of свой? (Not the regular situations, of course...but the "sometimes maybe" situations as Fedor described)
I'm Uzbek and i can speak and understand English. And now I'm attending russian courses to speak like a russian speaker. I'm not russian or english, but I can easily understand any rules in English. It's better to me to understand the rules in english than my native language. And this has been an amazing video to the people like me 🙂👍👍👍
I love the way you explain things. It makes it very easy to understand. Too many language youtubers get caught up in the specific grammatical rules and just end up over complicating things.
Great video again, you have helped me so much. Started learning in May and just two days ago i was at the bar with friends from work, one person i did not know very well but i was asked to introduce them to another person. Obiviously this is embarssing, you don't want to have to ask someone their name after you've met them. So i asked my russian friend who was also at the bar, but sitting on the other end of the table как его зовут and got the answer without anyone being the wiser. It felt so good to actually use the language for a reason and have it all work out.
your lessons are amazing! They have been very helpful with my pronunciation of words , and they have helped me understand the language better!. Keep up the good work!
- Это мой дом? - Нет, этот дом не только твой, этот дом свой для каждого из нас. - В этом доме всё общее? - Нет, в этот дом каждый приходит со своими вещами.
@@lalolbc - Is this my house?" - No, this house is not only yours, this house for each of us. (his for eachother, свой для каждого) - Does this house have everything in shared?" - No, everyone comes to this house with his (свой) things.
That's why I love learning languages. I'm German and I also love finding out things about my language. I love comparing languages, exploring their roots and finding similarities and differences
Oh wow, I had no idea about the importance of the relationship between the subject and the object as a rule for using СВОЙ vs the other possessives until I watched this... thank you!
I love how clearly you explain things. I tried to read about the difference and only got more confused, but it makes perfect sense after watching your video. Спасибо!
One of the most productive ways I’ve come to learn and remember things is by watching your videos. You explain things in such a logical and applicable way, thank you!
That was very well explained, Fëdor! These kinds of grammatical structers just show you how much easier it is to learn a slavic language, when you're a native Slav. We don't even have to question or think about it, because it just sounds natural to us. So it's impossible for us to make mistakes when it comes to such structures.

Easy for you to see.
@@y.k.9705hard fy to understand))
свой = my own, your own, his own, her own, their own, our own. That's it.
If you can say something belongs to the same person, you use свой.
"If you can say something belongs to the same person, you use свой."
That's the way I was taught.
Does that apply to animals too?
Same with мой also. It's interchangeable
@@marayoxz yes

I can't believe how well Fedor simplifies Russian, I'm so thankful to have him as a teacher.
You helped me out so much. You should become a high school teacher lol.
That would be a pay cut for him and less freedoms at the same time, so why?
Or college professor
I’m a foreign language teacher in high school and the pay is garbage, I’d rather be a TH-camr

In Russian they solve the potential confusion with “свой”
On English you can say "i love own house.They love own house" "own" = свой
I love my own house. They love their own house.
My/your/his/her/its/their+own = Russian's свой.
That's more correct.
But they have a really straight forward way of solving this problem. Kudos to them.
“Own” (adjective used only after a possessive adjective) is emphatic, so it wouldn’t be used in the ways mentioned under here
Same in Portuguese
Капец , сколько живу на этом свете никогда не задумывался над тем какая разница между свой и мой.
Спасибо, Федор. Это трудная тема. Наконец-то я это понимаю.
откуда ты?
@@Yet604 откуда ТЫ!?
@@DickShooterа в чëм проблема? В интернете, вроде, часто сразу на "ты"?
Я Русский, и до того, как я увидел название этого видео я не понимал разницу между "свой" и "мой".
This channel is an absolute gem. I can just take out my notebook and start writing, since I already know it's going to be an incredibly informative and helpful video.
I was pondering about this just yesterday! Fedor read my mind!
Я люблю мой/свой дом both are absolutely correct. Though, yes, native speakers will probably choose the pronoun свой in this context. But anyway, this doesn't mean it is incorrect, as you say.
Can you describe a situation where a native speaker would probably choose мой instead of свой? (Not the regular situations, of course...but the "sometimes maybe" situations as Fedor described)
He didn't say it's incorrect, he said it feels a little bit unnatural. I think it's easier for us too to use свой in this case.
Тем не менее "Ты любишь твой дом" уже звучит странно
3:11 this explanation is so easy to understand. You are a great teacher!

СВОЙ means "my own" "your own" "our own" , МОЙ means "my" etc
No. СВОЙ can refer to any person. It's not about the meaning, but about the grammatical function.
@@amjan That's what I said
Mой can also mean my own. Это мой телефон.
Я забыла мой/свой телефон
Я кормлю мою/свою собаку
@@galinaioffe2250 не понял
Your channel has definitely the best content for one to learn Russian. Thanks for your great lessons.
Out of curiosity started learning Russian recently. Thanks for the video. Lot of questions on the way😀
I love the way you explain things. It makes it very easy to understand. Too many language youtubers get caught up in the specific grammatical rules and just end up over complicating things.
I had the same question and now this video has solved it. Your explanations are always clear, easy to understand and very useful!
AMAZING video. You're soo good as a teacher. Greetings from Honduras ❤

Word "Свой" can be used if subject is unknown. For example: Свой дом всегда лучше, чем чужой.
Like “one’s”?
@@weirdosooup1322 yeah something like that
Came here from Duolingo after feeling lost on this topic. Thanks for putting it so clearly!
same
I started studying Russian four months ago and I didn't understand this rule, and now I understand it thanks to your beautiful explanation ( Спасибо )
your lessons are amazing! They have been very helpful with my pronunciation of words , and they have helped me understand the language better!. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the lesson, it makes perfect sense now.
Great explanation, the first time I really understood this, so simple too. Thank you.
Thank you Fedor, this little issue has been stumping me for a while and you’ve, as usual, cracked the nut for me. 👍

I've been wondering about this for about 3 years! Thank you!!
Perfectly explained спасибо 😊
Thanks a lot for this, i didn't know the relevance of it. I knew how it worked but not the details, thanks!
Great explanation! Good job as usual!!!!
- Это мой дом?

- Нет, в этот дом каждый приходит со своими вещами.

Хорошо, попробую перевести. Но лаконичность и ценность этого диалога будет утрачена.

I have to join the others who have expressed admiration for the clarity of this explanation. Many thanks.
You are simply amazing!! You have such a wonderful way to explain russian to us. спасибо большое ♥️
I’m a Russian native speaker and honestly I had never thought about the difference between свой and мой. Shocked and impressed )))

You did a great job, Fedor. I understood completely. Thanks alot, buddy.
This was very helpful thank you
Perfect explanation, спасибо братан 👍
You are a good explainer. I never quite understood until now.
So я люблю мой дом is a western spy admission. I see...

Maybe a Russian Gollum would say "Я люблю моё драгоценное кольцо" to show his split personality thing lol
@@harry_pageThe Gollum in russian says "Моя прелесть" My precious/charm
That's annoying because other language system's taught me moi Dom / moi doma. Good for Fedor.
Thank you very much. Very clear!
Greetings from Hamilton ON Canada. Thank you for these (very) good lessons!!!
I love how clearly you explain things. I tried to read about the difference and only got more confused, but it makes perfect sense after watching your video. Спасибо!

Literally one of the best russian teachers ive ever had!!! Love your videos. 😊
Thank you Fedor! It does make perfect sense. I wish I could change my keyboard into cyrillic letters so I can practice replying in Russian.
Dual language keyboards are not too expensive. I have one; cost less than £20 on Amazon.
This is a very easy lesson. большое спасибо.
Спасибо. It does make sense. This helps a lot.
Oh goshh thanks sir
finally, i understand what this word used for 😭😭
I found свой such a blessing when learning! It makes things so much clearer
God bless we have you here! спасибо.
