    Thank you so much to Asol for being a great teacher and doing your best to help me with these words! I’m sorry I was not good at pronouncing Russian words, but I’m really happy that I had the opportunity to learn more about the Russian language and culture thanks to Asol! I hope to continue learning and I hope others also have an interest in learning more about Russia 🇷🇺 ♥️

  • @henri191
    @henri191 2 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    • @emmasherbine5938
      @emmasherbine5938 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes that is so true! The English alphabet is very different from the Russian alphabet so when Russian words are spelled using the English letters it is quite different from the actual pronunciation!

      I was guessing the pronunciation of 'Russia' was going to be different than I thought, and it was. Similar to attending grade school seeing 'Iraq' on the map, and everybody pronounced it, I-rack. I get involved with the country, and the native pronunciation is Ee-rock.

    Poor Emma. 😄 Assol asks her very sternly. Moreover, words that are written in translation, and not transliteration, one can only guess how they sound in Russian. Such as "baklava" and "Russia".
    But Emma did a great job. Some words, she even pronounced well enough from the first time, even though Asol corrected her.
    In any case, the main thing is not to ask Emma to say the words "defending" and "cone dryer machine" in Russian.😆
    On the other hand, we cannot pronounce some combinations of sounds from English in Russian without sooo long practice.
    Бедная девушка) Асоль как то очень строго с нее спрашивает. Тем более, слова, которые написаны не в транскрипции, прочитать на русском можно, только если знаешь русский вариант. Как с "пахлавой" и "Россией".
    В любом случае, Эмма прекрасно справилась. Некоторые слова она даже достаточно хорошо выговаривала с первого раза, хоть Асоль её и поправляла.
    Но главное не просить ее произнести "защищающиеся" или "шишкосушильная машинка". 😆
    С другой стороны, мы на русском не можем произнести некоторые сочетания звуков из английского языка без ооочень долгой практики.

    As a Brit leaning Russian, if you want to get someone's tongue tied, try getting them to pronounce the Russian for "in Europe". That one is tricky to say the least. On another note I was looking for something I heard ages ago and have since forgotten, it is either the Russian for "read" or "write" that can be easily mispronounced to mean something entirely inappropriate so if anyone can help me with that I would be most obliged.

    I really want to compare my language to Russian, because I am Bulgarian and the Bulgarian language is quite similar to the Russian language ,but the difference is the pronouncing of the words and many of the words(of course). I am half Russian and unfortunately I don't know the language. Bulgarian is actually the first official slavic language and I know that not many people are aware of that fact . The Russian alphabet is also like the Bulgarian one ,but the russians added 3 additional letters , I think. The Cyrillic (bulgarian) alphabet has 30 letters and the Russian alphabet has 33 .

      There are good videos on TH-cam that compare our languages using the example of live native speakers, and tell about the translator's false friends. The most famous one I know is "булка". In Russian it is a product made of bread, in Bulgarian it is "bride".
      There is also an inter-Slavic language, which is well understood by almost all Slavic peoples.

    Russian language is very tricky for Europeans.
    They have four different ‘’s’’ sounds and other three different ‘’ch’’ sounds which we cannot hear!
    A Russian person can understand the difference of a s, or sss, or shh… sound but in our ears are all the same!
    Another thing that it was crazy for me is the fact that the vowels have different pronunciation if the are stressed or not in a word!!!
    I haven’t seen that rule in any language that I know!
    For example:
    O is pronounced like o when the stress is on it but when the stress is on another letter then o is pronounced like a…
    Bolsói is actually pronounced as Balsói…
    Also, why the whole world knows these dolls as babuskas???
    In Hellas we also call them babuska…

      Is the Russian alphabet easier for you as a Greek? As I understand it, they took/modified a lot of your letters for Cyrillic. As an English-speaker who is working on Russian, I still sometimes have a hard time forcing my brain to look at something that I see as a "B," and read it as a "V," for example. Or the letter that looks like a an English "P," but is read as an "R."

      As you said, the Cyrillic alphabet was created by two brothers from Thessaloniki that later were declared Saints by the Orthodox Church.
      Κύριλλος and Μεθόδιος / Kírilos and Methòdios.
      Kírilos > Cyrillic alphabet
      These two brothers created the alphabet to convert the Slavic nations to Orthodoxy.
      The alphabet is based on the Hellenic alphabet.
      Many letters are the same and some are upside down
      N > И
      Λ > Л
      Δ > Д
      I would say that even though we have a lot more letters in come we are not so familiar with it and it’s not that easy for us to read something in Cyrillic.
      Though, Cyrillic is phonetic so if you learn what sound makes each letter it must be easy but again I wouldn’t say that its that easy for us.
      Most of us we learn English at school so we are getting more familiar with the Latin/English alphabet from a young age.
      Yes, P is Π in Hellenic
      R is Ρ
      Β is V
      And μπ is B like ball
      The word alphabet is actually alfavíta in Hellenic
      Αα = άλφα / àlfa
      Ββ = βήτα / víta
      It became alpha-bèta because B isn’t V in English.

    Russia is a bit of an odd pick. Because unlike all the other words, Russia is an English word and not a Russian word, hence, there's no correct Russian pronunciation for it. I see the reason why you added it, but I think the American girl got confused, her pronunciation of Russia was perfect - it's an English word. If you wanted to check her pronunciation of the Russian version then it should have been written "Rossiya" and not "Russia", like all the other words before.

      The video has a lot of edits/cuts but what I meant to say when I was asked what is difficult is the consonant blends as phonetically spelled in English because it’s not accurate in accordance to the Russian alphabet/sounds so it’s hard to pronounce correctly.
      Hope that explains what I meant 🙂

Languages like Swahili set rule for which syllable to emphasize, and then stick too it no matter how weird it makes a word sound. And Spanish uses the accent marks to tell you when it's breaking its own rules. Russian and English are both like, "Bah, nuts to that. Figure it out in your own."

      As for the problem you were having? It's a longstanding problem in transliteration of Russian into the Latin alphabet. The question is always fidelity to the nominal sounds of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet and orthography vs accurate phonetic transcription. It doesn't help that there are things happening in the Cyrillic alphabet that just don't have an obvious Latinization, most notably the hard sign and soft sign.
