Q: WHAT NEW WORDS AND PHRASES HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM THIS VIDEO?

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Поехали! Давай! Да, точно. Я всегда слежу за вашими постами. Спасибо.

[@kopeginisikenpavlov]

I knew them all but it was pleasure to listen thank you for your videos :)

[@arthuramchan4740]

Блин - I knew it meant pancake, but could not understand why in other videos it was used to express disappointment.

[@iskrazamora7]

I am learning a lot watching your videos. Thanks. My way to practice listening is watching russian series with drama and natural entonation and real conversations. My English is not my mother tongue, but I use it as a second language. Some people say I am moderated bilingual. I am fluent in Spanish because I grew up in Cuba and over there I studied Russian Language for a couple of years and I want to refresh and actualize my knowledge.

[@knittingnirvana]

Thank you loads! I've been watching a Russian TV series (am a complete beginner, so I understand one word every three minutes!) but several of the words you mentioned show up regularly, so I'm glad I know what they mean in slang, as the dictionary meaning did not correspond to the situations in which they were said! Thanks again! Love your energy! Keep up the good work!

[@BoostYourRussian]

Great to hear! I´m so glad this videos helped you clarify some doubts. We use these words all the time, so it´s really useful to know them

[@knittingnirvana]

[@ethiop_frum]

Учебник русского языка в советские годы указывал, что слово "да" может быть вводным словом (как "ну") или выступать в качестве союза "и". Также в начале фразы выражает пожелание. Примеры: Иван да Марья. Я ходил попить да покушать. Да как сказать-то? Да сбудется всё то, что Вы себе пожелали.

This is the first video of yours that I've seen. (I recently subscribed to News in Slow Russian and got an email link to this.) There is something here for everyone - nicely done! New phrases for me were: Давай meaning "bye"; Ничё meaning "I'm fine/ok"; and (З)драстье for Здравствуйте (but really it's more of a substitute for Привет, right?) I think I've heard these before, but they haven't really clicked, as it were, until now. I look forward to watching your previous videos, your upcoming videos, and of course working on my Russian at the News in Slow Russian site.

[@BoostYourRussian]

Todd, I'm glad to hear you've learned something new from the video. I hope that other videos will also be useful to you!

4:27 If anyone also wants to know an interesting fact, Russians (or people from Russian speaking countries) will say блин when there are children around, they use it to replace a different word starting with "б" whenever they are annoyed/if they drop something

[@BoostYourRussian]

Haha that´s true!

[@bobbyhilton5807]

Finally someone made sense of stuff I hear but doesn't make sense to me.

[@yakovfischer8443]

Super!!! In my native Yiddish, "Nu" is used in place of "so". Also, we use a similar expression to "Da Nyet Naverno" usually when you ask if someone will actually do something. For example; Do you think he will arrive on time? Da Nyet Naverno Meaning to say probably not.

[@BoostYourRussian]

Thanks for sharing! I don´t know much about Yiddish, so it was very interesting to learn about this

[@waadfrelle]

I love you and you are now officially my first go to YT teacher. Your way of teaching speaks to me. I pause the video to write things down (my way of learning), you have the right amount of content, speed and way of addressing us. Thank you! I have one question: what do Russians say, if we in Europe would start speaking to anyone with: Madam, or sir (Dutch: Mevrouw, Meneer) can I ask you something (mag ik u iets vragen)? I have not encountered this in 3 years that I am studying Russian now LOLZ. Maybe communism got rid of all those 'titles'?

[@BoostYourRussian]

Thank you for your kind words! I´m glad you´re enjoying me videos. You can say "Женщина / Девушка, вы знаете...?" or "Мужчина / Молодой человек, ...?" if you address a stranger on the street. Though the most colloquial way would be to say impersonal "Извините, ...?" Hope this helps!

[@waadfrelle]

@@BoostYourRussian that really helps, thank you so much. So I was right that there are no address titles other than: Woman and Man, so that makes 'Excuse me' the best opening. Thanks!

[@nastassiamikhailova]

Actually "женщина" for addressing a person sounds kinda rude. Some people might get offended

Interesting to hear! I have asked same thing in another video and would like to know this. Is this russian pronunciation from Moscow/St.Peterburg? Just explain if the sound of the words differs from a region to another region all over Russia!

[@kseniafedosova9169]

the pronunciation in different regions doesn't differ as much as it does in English (or German).

[@user-ld5em1bb9l]

Russia is a huge country, and of course, the pronunciation in different parts of Russia is different, just in the prince in poor cities, and there are many of them, culture is neglected, as well as the clear pronunciation of words, all words are very abbreviated and the same "what are you doing?" so that not only the pronunciation is changing, but also in the principe the concept of constructing sentences and the reduced abbreviation to idiocy, and I apologize for the mistakes, I am sure that they exist since this is a google translator
