[@oliverd1469]

The Genitive case is the most complex one when compared to other grammatical cases, but at the same time it is the most interesting one...I have always enjoyed learning the Genitive case, not only in Russian, but also in other languages (Serbian, German for example). In Russian language it is used after a plenty of prepositions, verbs and adverbs, also it has a bunch of case-endings and I consider that the most challenging part. My native language is Macedonian, we don`t have grammatical cases, but instead in order to communicate grammatical meaning we use prepositions and Articles which unlike the English ones are used at the end of nouns, pronouns and adjectives.

[@AmazingRussian]

Oliver D , very interesting. Thanks for sharing this.

[@lutchbizin6420]

Oliver D Yes, Oliver. I think the same applies to Bulgarian. So it seems that Macedonian is easier than Serbian and Russian when it comes to nouns. How about verbs? Are they easier than Russian too? Thank you!

[@oliverd1469]

Yes it seems that Macedonian is easier compared to Serbian and Russian when it comes to nouns, but still it has three definite Articles in order to express definiteness, and I found that Serbians sometimes have difficulties with the Articles if they try to speak Macedonian, still it is unfamiliar to them because they express definiteness of nouns through Cases. Serbian as well as Russian is highly inflected language, has one more case -vocative, but at the same time it has less Endings than Russian when declining nouns, which makes it easier to learn. Russian is much complex because of the letter "Ы" which plays a huge role, as well as the soft sign. On the other hand the systems of verbs are different and complex in each one of them.

Oh boy! All clear as usual, just wish my brain was a sponge, lots of revision and practice needed. Thanks Olga, despite the difficulty your videos always inspire me to continue 👍👍👍

Simon, i see this was 3 years ago! How is your russian now? I doubt i will hear back from you, but worth a shot to ask! ")

[@bionicleman1231]

the way they taught me with the cluster nouns is that we "recycle vowels" in the circumstances that we remove vowels when adding endings to the genitive plural

[@mrallen55119]

These genitive plural endings are complicated but you handle them all very well! Thank you for this!

Mark Kram , спасибо. 😊

[@Whammytap]

Thank you for this! I am taking a beginner class and we are just now starting the genitive case. "Дом Ивана" and "У меня нет машины" and such. Of course, right away, I became curious about possessives, plurals, and modifiers in the genitive case. Wow! What a rich, beautiful and complex language. I hope to someday speak it without mangling it.

[@AmazingRussian]

Whammytap , wish you to stay motivated. 👍🏻

Holy moly, I thought I was getting the hang of genitive case but I didn't realize what a beast the plurals would be! So many different forms and rules... this is going to take a very long time to learn 😬

I could tell she was a teacher, not just a native speaker because she understands grammar.

[@AmazingRussian]

John Smith , thank you. You got it right.

[@JohnSmith-ji7xt]

I teach English as a second language. People think any native speaker can do so. No, you need training. You need to learn your grammar inside and out. It is not easy. For example, this is a correct sentence in English: She will have done that; she is responsible. This sentence is in past time, yet it has "will."' You need to explain in a logical manner why "will" is used in a past tense sentence.

[@AmazingRussian]

John Smith , nice to meet you. I teach ESL and Russian at the university. I know exactly what you are talking about. 🙂

[@JohnSmith-ji7xt]

It all makes sense until the very end. Why does it change from question to answer? Why isnt it планов for both since both are talking about plans in plural form that are owned by you.

[@AmazingRussian]

Есть планы - nominative plural. Нет планов - genitive plural.

Ольга, снова я, Луч. Могли ли бы вы, пожалуйста, в следующх видео, объяснить немного про множественное число слов 'человек' и 'год? Я вижу, что есть и пять человек. Я не уверен, можно ли сказать 'пять людей' вместо 'пять человек', 'люди пятидесятых годов' вместо 'пятидесятых лет'. Спасибо!

[@AmazingRussian]

Lutch Bizin , хорошо. Надо подумать.

[@alexvap3280]

+ Lutch Bizin Слово "людей" используют, когда говорят о множестве людей. Например, "много людей". Можно говорить и "много человек", но так говорят редко. А когда говорят о точном количестве людей, то используют слово "человек". Например: 5 человек, 10 человек, 21 человек, 1000 человек. А что касается возраста человека, то используют слово "лет". Например: ему 10 лет, моей сестре 15 лет. НО, иногда используют слово "год". Например: ему 21 год, ему 31 год, ей 32 года, моей жене 44 года. Также изменяется словоформа "год". Например: мальчику 1 год, мальчику 2 года, мальчику 3 года, мальчику 4 года, НО - мальчику 5 лет (не говорят 5 годов); женщине 34 года и т. п.

[@sophiesimard9672]

@@AmazingRussian If I may....with numerals as well as neskol'ko you use the genitive plural chelovek: Piat' chelovek, desiat' chelovek, dvadtsat' chelovek, neskol'ko chelovek. But with mnogo, malo, nemnogo, nemalo it is correct to use liudei. I would recommend the book of Pulkina, Zakhava- Nekrasova Russian Grammar with Exercises, where the authors explain it very well in Eglish. This book is in a free access in a PDF format somewhere on line. Cheers to all! :)

Speaking in other terms...after 1, 21, 31 we use the nominative case singular god, after 2,3,4, 22,23,24 etc - genitive singular goda, and after 5-20, 25-30 etc - genitive plural let.:)))))

Some of the Russian words in genitive plural form sounds almost the same as English words in singular form: проблем, машин, ламп, etc

Да, верно.

Why does “идеи” become “идей”? I can’t get my head round why the ending changes to “й”

[@connorraven179]

The same with “Новости” becoming “Новостей” 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@imranqureshi3947]

всё выли хорошо

[@DanielRowlands1]

Hi, I do not understand why ИДЕЯ becomes ИДЕЙ? And also why НОВОСТИ becomes НОВОСТЕЙ? I don't think we were given any rules where there isn't a singular form of the word, like новости

[@AmazingRussian]

Hello, The word ИДЕЯ phonetically is [ид'`эй'а]. It ends in A, so the plural genitive is ИДЕЙ (zero ending). The word ЖИЗНЬ ends in Ь, so the plural genitive is ЖИЗНЕЙ.

[@markkram9331]

Thank you for your quick reply! You're a very committed teacher! I wish you all the best!

[@sophiesimard9672]

@@markkram9331 I can even explain why it is dvuh synovei and not dva syna. U menia est' dva syna..... dva here is in the nominative case and syna according to the rule is in the genitive singular. I menia net dvuh synovei.... dvuh here is in the genitive after net and synovei agrees with drvuh in number and case - so it is genitive plural. Only in cases when the numerals 2, 3, 4 are in the nominative or accusative inanimate they are followed by genitive singular, in all the other instances the noun agrees with a numeral 2, 3, 4 in number and case (dva studenta, dvuh studentov, dvum studentam, dvuh studentov, dvumia studentami, o dvuh studentah). I am a former university professor of over 35 years of teaching Russian as a foreign language experience and I attest that this instructor explains things very well and true to academic reality. Bravo from me, too!
