You do a great job with the graphics -- the way you lay it out and organize it, the use of colors, it all really helps us to actually see what you're talking about. When it comes to learning Russian, your channel is one of the first I go to anytime I need clarification on something.

@@ArtWade , спасибо большое за покупку!

[@johnmabehelo9939]

Это удивительный урок желаю вам успехов

[@bovozangief8015]

thanks so much! perfect explanations,but what about the conjunction *да* in expression contrast and opposition.?

[@AmazingRussian]

Bovo Zangief , good question. Yes, it is used instead of «но» and «и», but it is a more literary word, than conversational. This video is for beginners, and I do not think that they should use «да» in spoken Russian.

[@bovozangief8015]

Thanks again my best teacher.

[@stephanpeterthree]

Excellent video! As always ... :)

[@AmazingRussian]

Stephan Ulm , thanks.

[@victoriannecastle]

fantastic lessons and teacher many many spasibo

[@davidtholomier5194]

спасибо !! perfect explanations, the exemples make the grammar rules so clear. Thank you!

[@DavinaHaynes]

13:52 here it shows ya NEPLOXO GOVORYU po-russki and ya pishu po-russki esho NE OCHEN XOPOSHO. first there is the adverb before the verb (which i thought signified a statement) then in the second half, it shows the adverb after the verb (which i thought signified an answer to a question. I’m a little confused. Does it matter where we put the adverb when writing these sentences regarding language skills? Please explain if you can, thank you!

[@oliverd1469]

Does the conjunction "да" (with the same meaning as "и") ever occurs in everyday speech in Russian, for instance: "ты да я"? I have never heard it in spoken Russian, but I have read that it exists. If so, is that conjunction somewhat related to the Ukrainian one "та" (and)?

[@AmazingRussian]

You are right. The conjunction да is used in the meanings и and но mostly in idioms or set expressions and almost never in contemporary spoken Russian. I have no expertise on the Ukrainian language.

[@chriscatapano1788]

another wonderful lesson Thanks Olga !!

[@AmazingRussian]

Chris Catapano , спасибо Вам!

[@andrewlarsen3781]

Спасибо Оля

[@EphesianRose]

are "Ho" and "A" sometimes interchangeable?

[@AmazingRussian]

Ephesian Rose , I do not think so. However, interchanges sometimes happen in common speaking.

[@epukiro15]

Thank you again for an excellent video. I used to find these conjunctions confusing but I think I've got it now. Is it correct to say that you use HO where in German you would use SONDERN? ''Er ist nicht arm, sondern reich.'' Greetings from Namibia!

[@AmazingRussian]

epukiro15 , I am not sure about German. 🙂

[@ticupblobasmr2376]

i cannot understand it because there is no translation for the sentences when it is being explained. can someone help me understand? i still don't get it. specifically the two "ands" it has been a little frustrating finding an explanation for this lol

[@navykyawmin4260]

Thanks.

[@jonathanmckinney2627]

Спасибо ❤️

[@AmazingRussian]

McK_ Ultra , пожалуйста.

[@cedricknzi]

Здравствуйте мадам. Я хотел бы узнать какую разницу между 《но》 и 《ну》

[@AmazingRussian]

Cédric Kouamé N'Zi , это долго объяснять. Иногда НУ используется в разговорной речи и не несёт особого значения. It’s like a conversational filler. Ну привет. Ну как тебе сказать? Ну не знаю.

[@cedricknzi]

Спасибо мадам

[@vannigio6234]
