We have a similar concept to дядя in India too, if a child on the street wants to talk to a stranger, they will go up to them and refer to them as “Uncle” (“Auntie” if female)

[@Juanao-nk3vu]

In Brazil we also sometimes call strangers "tio" which also means "Uncle" and "tia" (Auntie) if it is a woman but "tia" has a meaning similar to a stranger that is a mature woman, if that makes sense... and also it is generally spoken from younger folks refering to older people.

To be honest not as far as I'd like to be. I try to make time for learning, but I started my own business and it's very consuming.. I need to get back into it. One of the most amazing things about learning a new language is that I have retained a lot more than I thought I would. I read a study somewhere about the brain's stored use of language, and that part is the same part used to remember how to ride a bike etc. Not as easily forgotten as some things. I'm no expert but it's really interesting stuff!

Widower is the masculine of widow in english, and this is fairly common. I'm not sure what language we get this ending from but the only other construction I'm aware of is "witch/witcher" which of course the books have popularized. Even with this, most people think of the masculine of witch as being wizard. This way of forming a masculine in english probably fell out of favor because "er" now means something like "one who", like with "worker" being "one who works".

Hey I have a question. I came across an old KZbin video where the guy explained how Russian have there mouth parts when they are not talking (my take away was flat and low with the tip of the tounge at the bottom of your bottom teeth.) He had also explained that this is partly where the Russian stereotype that Russians don't smile come from. So my question is do you have a video on this subject in particular? Or if you don't, could you make one? I tried out what this guy had said and I personally think that it helps me with my Russian pronunciation. I have an easier time making sound the "Р" sound especially not with all words but alot. But take for example "stop" in English and Russian is the same word same meaning but when you flatten your tongue and say stop it sounds more Russian. Also if this is false let me know too. I love how you break down words and phrases please keep making content.

Being given verbal information is how I learn, so these videos work for me. By contrast the "immersion" technique has never worked for me. Having some basic etymology and groupings of words displays connectivity. Reading and writing the language gives us the tactile sense, and that process stimulates the brain and builds the subconscious memory we need to use language effectively. Федор is a great teacher overall and the best teacher of the six cases in Russian language.
