for those of you new to russian, i would just like to tell you that cases appear far more intimidating than they actually are. They are very easy to memorize. The male endings are numerous, but the female endings are almost all the same a lot of the time. Overall there's less than what, 20, 30 endings to memorize. What is 20 compared to the number of nouns, verbs, adjectives, that you need to understand the language? In my opinion you need 2000+ words to understand russian at a basic level. So those 20 or 30 endings are peanuts compared to memorizing actual words. You'll learn them just by reading, if you keep a table next to you and check it. If you take a week to just memorize them by writing words out over and over in all the cases, it will be even easier. 30 minutes a day, pick random words and adjectives, and write them in every case from memory, using a table when you forget an ending. Easy. Remember, the only way to memorize something like this is to USE it and make mistakes. Mistakes are how you learn a language, and you can't make mistakes if you just sit there not using the language
Been trying to learn Russian for a while now and wrapping my head around these cases has been an ordeal! I am teaching myself, and it’s very confusing when these words come up and I don’t know exactly why the endings are changing. So I am grateful to find your channel, and have understood more in this short ten minutes than I have in several months of learning!! 😅 Thank you!
Hi, Daria. Long time ago when I first started watching your channel to learn Russian, I was the biggest advocate about not having to learn cases in order to speak Russian fluently. Thank you for taking the time to explain how and why cases are important to the Russian language. Now you've got me interested in learning them. I never thought I'd say that sentence before.
Struggled with cases for 10 years. Yes, you read that right. Я ОЧЕНЬ тупой хахаха. If you’re a native English speaker, I suggest learning them in this order: Prepositional, Genitive, Accusative, Dative, Instrumental. If your native language is an analytic language, the Prepositional is the easiest case to understand the usefulness and necessity of cases. Genitive next because it’s the most used, then Accusative because it’s a blend of Nominative and Genitive. The last two are a bit tougher to USE, not understand. With comprehensive input, reading, and predictive text on a phone, you’ll quickly use them correctly 70% of the time. Most of all, don’t quit. I started learning ten years ago and am now A1 level finally. If I can do it, anyone can.
Thank you very, very, very much. I'm going to learn cases in order: learning them in this order: Prepositional, Genitive, Accusative, Dative, Instrumental.
I am amazed! The video you shared about this topic was the best I have seen. It is evident that you have a good understanding of the struggles we face while trying to learn "cases". I am from Argentina and live in Buenos Aires. Our country was built by immigrants who came from all over the world. Thus, it does not matter if you do not speak Spanish fluently, we will still understand you. However, I believe that it is different when it comes to Russian. Learning cases has been quite frustrating for me until now. Thank you so much for your help.
Привет! One thing I wanted to say, but I hopped on right at the end of the premiere, and I think it was kind of what you were saying. I started learning Russian through your videos, and I was going fast, and then it got to cases, and it kinda blew my mind. I almost got discouraged, but I was determined to keep going.. I just didn't know how. Some time down the road I just figured "whatever", I'll just learn phrases and the cases will come along as I learn to say things. It did. I haven't focused on it much, but the more I understand, the more it makes sense. Now, a couple of year later, just from being exposed to Russian so much, and now having friends in Russia, I probably could look at those complicated charts and retain some of what's there, because I've seen it, my brain remembers somewhere.. so yeah... just keep going and it'll make sense. Thank you so much for your videos that first taught me the basics!
I love this actually. when i first heard of cases it scared me because i learned spanish and they have a million verb tenses, i thought it would be like that 😂
Отлично. Спасибо. This lesson is very helpful. I put the Russian language like solving the Rubik's cube. There are many steps to learn and in order. With practice and dedication to learning something difficult becomes easier to learn or solve. I still remember you saying in one of your early lessons practice practice practice.
Using Masha as an example is what puts you, guys, into trouble. Use beer instead. Я люблю пиво. Люблю я пиво. Пиво я люблю. Unlike Masha, пиво is stable, constant, and reliable (also grammatically). Пиво is always there for you and will never leave you.
As a native arabic speaker i can tell you that russian language is like arabic when it comes to words order, and obviously when we chang the order of the words we make changes in the word itself... You are a very good teacher and i love you...❤
I don't speak russian but ppl in my family do, but I speak fluent german whereas they make occasional grammatical mistakes. Now I understand what structures they're coming from and why what sounds wrong to my German ear sounds right to them! This is so fascinating
My native languages (Marathi, Konkani, Hindi) have 6-7 cases and i had no idea about it as i never knew what the concept of case was (it was probably explained in school, i don't remember). Only after i started learning russian and making comparisons with my mother tongue, did I realise I have been using cases all this time involuntarily 🤣🤦. It's more intuitive for me to learn Russian using Hindi as many linguistic concepts that dont exist in English, exist there (like both languages have proper case structure), but theres hardly any content available.
I been learn Russian for some years and I still mess up cases al the time especially with adjectives. But I just keep chugging along trying to improve over time
Famine occurs when there's a lack of food, therefore we say feminine. "Tal" is a valley in German (dale), so we say neutral, not "neurtal". I'm certain there are not so many errors in your Russian as there are in the English. Thanks for the effort anyways, I'm listening now!
Russian is Indo-European language , I see many people from India learn Russian easy , Sometimes European people complain but I am 100 percent sure ,If the person whose native language is Italian ,Spanish ,French will be not difficult . Because Indo -European familly group, But there is one difference , Russian needs patience and slow process,because it has richer grammar, Other Indo -European language like Bulgarian lost “Cases rule “ because they were under “Ottomans “
Cases in Russian exists, because they did not die, like in other languages.))) Proto-indoeuropean had (supposedly) eight cases, from which survived only six. Also, it is general mistake to say English has no cases. Because it has two: possesive and "everything else". ) ))
english cases also still persist in certain ways, like when you say "give it to me". 'To me' is basically left over dative case version of the I pronoun
So who ate who?😅, I though the crocodile eat the tourist...so krokodil ect tourista, right? I know it's sad 😊. I took russian language long time ago and I love your courses, because I never really understood many details. Thank you 🙏
If I guess the case and get it wrong, will I still be understandable? I don't mind it sounding weird but if I understand correctly from this video if I use any case at all at least the context is understood right? John might be a man but say I call him John-'y' instead of John-'a', everybody should still understand that he is the one getting murdered because that's the cased word?
That was interesting! In English the word order isn't super-strict but we change the verb instead of the noun, so like "a crocodile ate a tourist" is equivalent to "a tourist was eaten by a crocodile". 😮 Hmm. "A tourist a crocodile ate" is also understandable, but then it sounds like the grammar of Yoda from Star Wars... odd, basically 😅 I like the sound of the Russian system. Thanks for the lesson! 😊
Because tourist is animate, and in masculine animate objects, the endings for accusative and genitive are the same. Турист - Туриста - Туриста (N - G - A) Whereas in inanimate objects, the endings for accusative and nominative are the same. Стол - Стола - Стол (N - G - A)
Children don't learn a language the way adults learn. Most of the time, children learn their first language by imitating others and by doing a lot of practice. They don't really understand what's the technicality behind grammars. They just use the way others use it
Please Mam teach my fellow russians HINDI too Love from INDIA, We will be Friends forever and Felt really sad today as Ukraine attacked on Moscow,My condolences are with you people.
i understand when trying to make something a little clear especially for interests in story books and being effective in writing and considering its rules, but how come something negative has to happen in order for it to be a story? Its like a horror mexican story.
Practice enough and you do not have to "learn" cases; it will become second nature...I know, some rather old fashioned methods of teaching languages used to throw grammatics tables at you - not any more, luckily.
I think it"s sad how learners nowadays are lazy ... they want to learn a language but don't want the efforts. Lazy lazy and pathetic. I'm french and learning japanese too and it's hard. I read that some learners want to get rid of kanjis and write only in hiragana because it's easier. Learning a language is a long path and I can't stand this new generation of people who want to "learn" a language in 2 months. So no ... I would not say "whatever"
I just got done explaining for the gajillionth time why I only ask women technical questions. Serves me right. The Jarhead has the following flaws: 1.) has an IQ of soup 2.) is a Jarhead 3.) is not a woman I hope I'm not insulting soup.

What is male ending and female endings? Its mesculine and feminine not male and female
You have just made me more scared tbh
Russian and Bulgarian have a lot of similiraties and it's amazing how Russian has a case system where in Bulgaria there are traces of it.

So far the best and most clear explanation of the cases. Спасибо!
I’m at work but I will watch later. Love you😀 and Спасиб
I knew about the cases but I didn’t know we can interchange the words THAT much in a sentence!😮
Very useful, thank you!

So you were the biggest advocate of not learning cases without even knowing what caes actually are and what function they serve?
Previet Ma'am 🤗I'm continueing your lessons and now i'm watching lesson 6 😊 Your learnings are so helpful ma'm 💖 Thank you so much for that 💖💖💖🇷🇺🇱🇰

So after 2 years what level are you on the European framework of languages, and how many hours has it taken you and where did you get the phrases from
I love this actually. when i first heard of cases it scared me because i learned spanish and they have a million verb tenses, i thought it would be like that 😂

I love you I follow you and learn Russian from you

To sump up guys, just remember " whatever", great video Daria ;)
haha it’s my

You are definetely the teacher every student would love to have , Daria! greetings from Peru ;)@@RealRussianClub

Hi mam nice video and thank you please post weekly 2 videos.
Excellent
5:35 ~ in russian how do we understand it?
~WE DON'T 😂😂
This is one of the things that make the russian language challenging and interesting
Romanian has the cases also: Dativ, Genitiv, Nominativ, Acuzativ, and so on.
It’s easy.
Word order in Japanese isn't very strict. We have the same concept with Russian cases. :)
Well done!
I been learn Russian for some years and I still mess up cases al the time especially with adjectives.
But I just keep chugging along trying to improve over time
Hello, am new subscriber. Thank you for sharing this great content
I speak Sanskrit. Learning the Russian cases was easier for me.
If nouns have adjectives or participles, they have cases and changeable endings too. I just inform.
Good lesson. According to one wise Bald and Bankrupt guy - "don't learn Russian grammar" and he speaks understandable Russian everywhere he goes.
Dobre otra, spasiba
8:03 Is Джек(Jyeck) или Джэк(Jack)?
Традиционная транслитерация: "Джек".
By pronunciation же=жэ, жи=жы, жа=жя, жу=жю. Same with letters ц, ш, щ, ч. Джек - correctly

word order in japanese is not strict at all. stuff can be in any order more or less as long as the case particles are correct.
I’ve been studying Japanese for a year, and word order is VERY strict compared to Russian😆
Russian is Indo-European language ,
I see many people from India learn Russian easy ,
Sometimes European people complain but I am 100 percent sure ,If the person whose native language is Italian ,Spanish ,French will be not difficult .
Because Indo -European familly group,
But there is one difference ,
Russian needs patience and slow process,because it has richer grammar,
Other Indo -European language like Bulgarian lost “Cases rule “ because they were under “Ottomans “
The grammar is very similar to Bosnian.
Every time people question how people can be as crass as they are today, I have No problem believing. I have seen. And it's World-wide. I have cases.
Cases in Russian exists, because they did not die, like in other languages.)))
Proto-indoeuropean had (supposedly) eight cases, from which survived only six.

Learning starting from English, German cases are much tougher to follow than Russian.
Yea rite ,pull through other one
Здравствуйте, Даша! Хотел учить в веше сайт но не знаю если есть возможность чтобы оплатить с карта банка виза, потому что живу в Москве!
I know this video is a bit old, but could anyone explain to me how exactly to learn words in there most basic form. (Websites, books,etc.)
If its John Wick then you don't need to case ending for Jack, we know.

As a german native speaker. It is in german more flexible than in English. German was a bad example.
why does she say accusative of турист is туриста? May grammar table says for masculine nouns the ending does'nt change
If it's an "animate" noun it's ending will change, meaning it represents a person or animal
Because tourist is animate, and in masculine animate objects, the endings for accusative and genitive are the same. Турист - Туриста - Туриста (N - G - A)
Whereas in inanimate objects, the endings for accusative and nominative are the same. Стол - Стола - Стол (N - G - A)
When you say “Джон убил джека”, doesn’t that mean that John killED Jack in the past..?
German manages to have cases, articles, and super strict word order.
How do Russian children learn this?
