#42 Russian Grammar - 1st declension, nouns, cases, numbers

[@elindigente2255]

I don't understand how could somebody dislike this video, it's been a light in the tunnel for me when it comes to cases and declensions. Thank you so much)

[@pennymcwilliams]

Reminds me of Latin lessons when I was eleven- mensa, mens, mensam etc. But I suspect that being familiar with Latin cases and declensions makes it easier to understand the Russian ones

[@AntoniaRomaker]

+Penny Mcwilliams you are probably right. In German there are also cases and declensions, so it is not that difficult for me as for an English native speaker, I guess... :)

[@sasha9916]

yes same it was something like a, ae, ae, a, arum, is, is I still remember them 😂

[@marciofrancisco123]

totally awesome... i saw your video 13 times... it's very useful. thanks

thank you very much ;)

[@donaldquigley1156]

Thank you for the Russian grammar insight. I find your videos very interesting and helpful and not boring at all. I hope you will continue to do more videos teaching Russian because I love to learn Russian. :-)

[@AntoniaRomaker]

Thank you for the comment! Of course I will ;) btw I have a lot of them already :) kzbin.info/aero/PLCL8PrsNNVvfJwbyXoi4mqQecEKyy2MY7

Hello, Antonia - I think that it's lovely to compare your older videos with the newer stuff. You have really gained in confidence over the years, конечно, and that has clearly come with much practice and plain old hard work - very well done! My own journey through those killer cases would not have been possible without your marvellous resource, though I'm still very much a learner and worse, getting on a bit :)

[@AntoniaRomaker]

Thank you! I am glad that I am improving ;)

[@pavelchekov4796]

Excellent lesson, although I am also fascinated by the massive Borg fleet that has amassed behind you.

[@AntoniaRomaker]

Thank you :)))

[@ryanmilton2643]

great class...will watch again..I need this!

[@egyptianplanner]

It is so impressive explaination thanks a lot it will be clear if you explain the declension through complete chart schem to show the whole figure or picture about the declension system in russian language it is good video thanks a lot

[@Neevar132]

so useful thank you!

[@dismaleminence9662]

I noticed something on the chart, and I don't know if I missed anything in the video, but when would something like "травой" in the instrumental case use the "-ою" ending. Can they be used interchangebly or is there something rule I didn't quite catch in the video?

[@AntoniaRomaker]

-ою is a poetic ending, it is used seldom ;)

[@dismaleminence9662]

Antonia Romaker - English and Russian online Спасибо! Thank you for the clarification'

[@alexioskesidis2381]

How can we find out what case it is though?

[@kimhyunjin2536]

I like your examples! Thank you~!

[@AntoniaRomaker]

Kim Hyunjin and thank you for watching! :)

[@Point.Aveugle]

For everyone wanting a way to memorize these quicker, nominative is left hand fingertip, genitive is section of finger above palm, dative is palm, accusitive is forearm, instrumental is bicep, and prepositional is shoulder. Then plural is the right arm. Since you have multiple fingers you can use each finger for a different declension. Originally used this for the 5 declensions of Latin, but probably can be used for 3 of Russian plus 2 variants. Cool lesson but I want to learn how to pronounce ёй. Also is ой pronounced like ы?

[@AntoniaRomaker]

ёй - [joj], ой - [aj] if it is not stressed and [oj] if it is stressed p.s. Where did you get this idea? And how does it help, I do not get it...) p.p.s. Thank you! :)

[@Point.Aveugle]

Evan der Millner. I found it helpful because it caused me to test myself more often. Could even say its a chart that you always have, not having to think up one inside of your head. It also uses another sense, the sense of touch. When I started Chinese I would move my index finger to the tones and it seemed to help me remember.

[@AntoniaRomaker]

That's a very interesting technique! :)

I know it is important to learn the cases. But for a spanish speaker learning russian, the cases are a really hard part of the study. What if I travel to Russia and don't use properly the cases, for example... instead of asking "kofe c molokom" I just say "kofe c moloka"? He won't understand or can I make my self understand to other people even tought I don't make correct use of the endings? Greetings from Chile

[@AntoniaRomaker]

+Claudio Torres Hi, I understand what you mean, but you should stay strong! Cases are quite important in Russian, they help us make up for lacking the strict word order as in English. So if you do not study them you poeple will probably understand most of what you say but you will sound funny and sometimes you will be hard to understand. Anyway, I wish you luck and patience ;)

[@ՀովսեփԽաշունի]

+Claudio Torres I speak Armenian which has a more extensive use of declension, but nothing compares to this. Hang in there, this is probably the hardest part of learning Russian.

[@kazmroz8948]

"kofe c moloka" spoken exactly that way, would be understood to mean "coffee made from milk" were what you meant is "coffee with milk", which would be pronounced as "kofiya c molokom". So the use of proper declension is almost always required, if one is to be understood accurately.

[@Livael23]

I have to say they look much more simple than in Greek! Every case has its own vowel, I find it much easier than having to remember the same vowel with a different consonant after! And I like your way to explain their use, it's very useful to remember :)

[@369tayaholic5]

you mean old Greek right? because modern Greek declensions are much easier than russian actually.

[@Livael23]

@@369tayaholic5 Yeah, I should have been more precise, I do mean ancient Greek 😅

[@АлександрМорозов-э2г3с]

Как же хорошо быть носителем русского языка. Ибо он очень тяжелый )

[@AntoniaRomaker]

Согласна с Вами! :)

[@MoeRamirez91]

Antonia, thank you very much for your wonderful videos! I have a doubt i am hoping you can clear up for me. Is there a "default" case that russian language teachers, books or websites use for every word they show? For example, if I look at the words человек, год and дело, do they all belong to a certain case (nominative, genitive, etc.), or is there a default case for words when they are taught?

[@AntoniaRomaker]

the default case is nominative ;)

[@MoeRamirez91]

Thank you so much! Keep up the good work :D

[@AntoniaRomaker]

You are welcome ;)

[@deutsch_perfekt_9923]

i want to.know. at what program do you prepare these perfect lessoms? or is it your own perfection?

[@AntoniaRomaker]

What kind of programme are you referring to? I used different textbooks and my personal experience, my examples ;)

[@deutsch_perfekt_9923]

The examples are so perfect, your videos are so excellent, i need that programm,

[@AntoniaRomaker]

I don't have it, sorry ;) Probably I need to write my own book ;)

[@sabakhelashvili6360]

I understood nothing. What is the link between the declensions and cases? папа is the first declension, and what? how to use this information in cases now?

[@AntoniaRomaker]

There are peculiarities common for declensions, when you use the words different cases.

[@ՀովսեփԽաշունի]

Why is страной used in the 5th question? It doesn't exactly make sense since the country is not being used for anything, it's receiving the action. After consulting a native Russian speaker, they said that while страной isn't particularly incorrect, a more correct option would by страну. Could someone please clarify should I be wrong?

[@AntoniaRomaker]

+Joseph Pachanyan it should be 'страной', as the verb 'управлять' demands using the Instrumental case.

[@ՀովսեփԽաշունի]

***** Haven't even gotten to German yet. But I'll look into it. Thanks!

[@Swampertchamp]

Hi! I have a question. Do foreign names of people also decline or are they just undeclineable? For instance my name "Alfonso" (Male)

[@AntoniaRomaker]

Swampertchamp most of them are undeclinable ;)

For genitiv (by ex. книга) you needs ending -и, but must be -ы. Am I wrong?

Saying, "in this case this is genitive case" is how most Americans would say it, but with the article in front of the word genitive.
