Nail ЖЕ For Ever! | Russian Language

Today I am talking about the particle ЖЕ. It is very intuitive and natural to Russian natives, and it was hard trying to find the meanings of this word. After some research I could put in a video. Hope it was clear and easy to understand.

I think it can be simplified: consider же as an emphasizer. The core meaning of the sentence does not change when же is removed. However when же is added you add emphasis. This video was useful in showing different ways that emphasis can be added with же. Thanks for posting

[@kirillbobko4557]

Nick well explained

[@sabakhelashvili6360]

It's absolutely incorrect. же isn't emphatic particle. It's like "А" in russian. "Я играю в футбол, А мой папа играет в теннис"

[@njuvanrui2951]

@@sabakhelashvili6360 Yes, you are right. And I think if one conclude 'же' as an emphatic particle, the third usage mentioned above in this video will also be left out, since no one would use an emphatic particle to ask another person specify a general concept. I am just saying that, saying someone is INDEED from Georgia doesn't magically make him from Tbilisi...

[@giuliocusenza5204]

This is oversimplifying, you can use this as an introduction in order to give the learner an idea of the concept behind this particle and then go on with the different uses, which you have to explain in detail or no one would get how to use it.

[@FranciscoTornay]

Yes, @Nick you're absolutely right. However thinking about же as an emphatic particle lets you _understand_ it easily but it's not so useful in order to actually _use_ it because it's not used for just any emphasis but in particular situations. That's where Fedya's more detailed explanation really helps

Thank you! You are truly an incredible teacher. You really do have a gift for explaining the Russian language to the English speaker. I am very new to Russian, and when I discovered the 6 grammatical cases, I thought I would cry...UNTIL I found your videos. Your explanation of combining the preposition with the noun to make a new word with a different ending made so much sense to me. Perhaps I read that in a book, but I didn't get it until I heard you explain it. What I love the most about your channel is the cultural perspective you provide. That is something you could never get from a book. Thank you again. I think that your family must be very proud of you. Меня зовут KoralMae. Я немного Говорю по-русски.

I’m a retired programmer, and EVERY interviewer noticed that I had “Russian” on the list of spoken languages I knew. This set me apart from the other candidates, and I usually got the job. Russian is a tricky language for English speakers, so, it shows that you are intellectually curious (many people aren’t) AND that you want to get along with people from around the world. Studying Russian says a lot of good things about you. Keep up the good work. You will be glad you did. Also, Russian is interesting!

I think 'while' in your sentence is also served in English by 'however' 'nevertheless' or 'nonetheless' (I play tennis. My daddy, however, is playing hockey.)

[@illillyillyo]

Bee Sheerhan yeah, but adults don’t usually say “daddy” in English, which is why he read папа as “father.” Dad would have been fine, too, though.

[@ursulakelly2102]

I consider it to be more like 'whereas'.

[@isaacsechslingloff9894]

I wouldn't translate отец or папа as "daddy", "daddy" is really really diminutive.. maybe very small children can use it, or it can be used to make insults.. some people use it in flirting

[@pocobull]

Regarding the use in confirmation, I think what was hanging you up was throwing in the word "because". If you had just said it has the meaning of "of course", it would have been far easier for you, and would make complete sense. We do this in English too, when we are boasting about our own abilities, usually in a joking manner. Someone might ask me "Did you win the game last night?", and I might reply "Of course, what else did you expect?". I think this was the meaning you were trying to get across. I enjoy your videos, thank you for the help in learning your language :). PS my favourite hockey team is Sibir :)

Your teaching method is very effective. By the way, in the contrast section of this video, the word "wheras" instead of "while" would be more correct . "While" works in some examples, but in others. "Whereas" works in all and is more common. Thanks for all of your hard work.

[@quanaj4780]

Хосе Э. The way this comment is set up. Trying to fingure how you used the 'же'

[@ratio123456]

ТАКОЙ means SUCH, ТАКОЙ ЖЕ means THE SAME while ДРУГОЙ ТАКОЙ ЖЕ has the meaning of "another of the same kind". So, your use of ЖЕ in the last sentence is correct, but your first sentence translates as "I haven't seen the same video before", which I guess you didn't mean. It would have been correct to write "Я раньше не видел ТАКИЕ видео", or "Я раньше не видел ДРУГИЕ ТАКИЕ ЖЕ видео, как это". Yeah, it's so difficult when you start thinking about it...

[@fj8017]

«Я раньше не встречал подобное видео» or «Я ещё не видел видео на эту тему» is more correct. Russians don't say «Какое же хорошее», «Какое же оно классное/крутое (it's not mean "cool")» would be more correct.

In the first example, "meanwhile" would work while keeping the word order. "I play tennis. My dad, meanwhile, plays hockey." In another translation of the original sentence, it would be "I play tennis while my dad plays hockey."

[@johnnyhoran9369]

The best way the to think the first meaning of же (contrast), is to think of it as literally meaning "however." You can have the word order be exactly the same if you think of it this way. Other words like "while" or "but" would have to come before the subject. "However," however, does not. ;) Я играю в теннис, мой папа же играет в хоккей. Literally, "I play tennis. My father, however, plays hockey." It works the same in the other two examples. Also, "but" and "while" create clauses, NOT new sentences. "However," however, does, as I just demonstrated. It would be incorrect to say "I play tennis. While/But my dad plays hockey. You would have to use "however." I'm not sure about the word for "while" in Russian, but I know "но" is "but." So there is a distinction in Russian.

@@oliverbiro6316 Even in English, there is a very fine line between saying: 1. I play tennis, but my father plays hockey. 2. I play tennis, while my father plays hockey. 3. I play tennis, whereas my father plays hockey. I think all three sentences convey contrast. Perhaps, sentence #1 may convey a _stronger_ sense of contrast, almost like saying, "I play tennis but my father _never_ plays tennis - he _only_ plays hockey." On the other hand, sentences #2 and #3 are more like saying, "I play tennis but my father _prefers_ to play hockey." Not quite as strong.

[@BeFluentinRussian]

В зависимости от того, что ты имеешься ввиду. What did you want to say?

[@Can1]

How I think of it is like adding "fucking" to everything. Where are we going to meet? Right fucking here. You got 100 points? Yes because I'm fucking Fedor. I bought fruit. Which fucking ones? Apples. The camera broke the first fucking night. I think of it as just an "intensifier" or something. Makes whatever you're talking about stronger, more powerful, etc.

[@vitorhugocastellaovieira8279]

I've always been fascinated with the Russian language, I discovered your channel this week, I'm loving it! Keep up the good work mate!

[@AIKgabbe1891]

Big thanks from Sweden! Спасибо

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Привет Федор. Can I construct a phrase like this; Что ты делаешь сегодня утром? - делаю такой же.

[@jojojoyosubliminals]

For the in conformation, think of the first example with your name Fedor as a game champion. Fedor is a great player at winning any game, so therefore winning a 100 points is easy. Yes, I won because I’m fedor!

[@felipearaujo9211]

I made this examples to apply what I learned!: 1. Моя кошка ест рыба, моя собака же ест мясо. 3. -Ты говоришь по-итальянски? -Да, я же из Италии. 4. -Я купил новый телефон. -Какой же? -Тебе не надо знать! 5. -Мы в парке. Где твой дом? -Тут же. Я живу в парке. 6. Александр пришел в больницу, когда же ему позвонили.

[@ierogosse]

«Я же говорила!» This is the most lovely phrase of russian women and girls :) They would say it, if you’ve done something bad, but they had told you not to do that thing :)

[@mulattotraveller]

Awesome video. Much needed. I understand же a lot more now! I think a good explanation of же is - its an enforcer of the sentence. It enforces nouns and verbs!

[@x2the_tap66]

Hey Fedor, what's the difference between все and всё?

[@BeFluentinRussian]

все - everyone всё - everything.

[@x2the_tap66]

@@BeFluentinRussian Спасиво, Фед

[@cardboardhero2294]

Yeah, however at 13:25 for example, it's supposed to be всё, as Федя corrected himself later. Sometimes, Russians write е instead of ё, so you might see that pretty often.

[@erikmerle1042]

Is another translation of this participle 'in truth' or 'in actuality' or 'in life'? In first example я уграю б теннис, мои папа же играет в хоккеи. I play tennis, my dad in actuality plays hockey. Excellent video 10/10 A+

[@sibiryachkaNSK]

НСК!

[@markkatona4501]

Спасибо большое Федя! Ты помогал мне много, очень полезное видео 😁

[@DavidEmerling79]

The expression "то же самое" seems to be very common in Russian. I use it whenever I want to emphasize that something is the "same thing". Is that the correct usage? For instance, "Мой отец делал то же самое" ... My dad used to do the same thing.

[@wedadzein8410]

Я живу в России уже 2 года и только сейчас поняла ЖЕ. Спасибо Федя.

[@epicepidemic7131]

Very helpful! On the first one, I was thinking "though" or "even though." (She bought ice cream, *even though* I wanted cake.) On the next one, I think the sarcastic version of "After all...!" works. (Of course I scored 100 points. *After all...* I am Fedor!) Also, I sometimes think of "zhe" as "even," the way ancient English uses "even" to be more specific. (Fruit, even apples.) There are many times when "zhe" makes me think of the word "even," because of how similar даже sounds. (я был даже добр к нему.)

[@jesssilva6110]

That moment when you realize there are weird words in your own language that are hard to explain to foreigners but they fit the explanation in the video just perfectly 😂 Я играю в теннис, мои папа ЖЕ хоккей Eu jogo tênis, JÁ meu pai, joga hockey. I play tennis WHEREAS my father plays hockey. In Portuguese, "já" literally means "already/yet" but in that context it means "whereas" ____________________________________ _ Ты получил 100 баллов? _ Você marcou 100 pontos? _ Да, я ЖЕ Федя. _Sim, AFINAL, eu sou o Fedia. _ Sim, MAS TAMBÉM... Eu sou o Fedia. _Yes, AFTER ALL, I'm Fedya. _ NO WONDER... AFTER ALL, I'm Fedya. "mas também..." literally means "but also" but in that case it means "after all/ no wonder.. after all" _ Она опять забыла хлеб! _ Ela esqueceu novamente o pão! _ She forgot the bread again! _ Ho она ЖЕ не знала где они _MAS TAMBÉM... Ela não sabia onde ele estava. _NO WONDER, AFTER ALL, she didn't know where it was. _____________________________________ _ Я купила фрукты. _ Eu comprei frutas. _ I bought fruits. _ И какие ЖЕ? _ E quais MESMO? _ And which type/kind of fruits EXACTLY? _ Яблоки _ Macãs _ Apples "mesmo" is the hardest word to explain to foreigners because it can mean a lot of things. Literally, it means "the same" but it can also mean: >yourself, herself etc >right here, right there, right after etc >exactly >even __________________________________ Seeing Fedor trying so hard to explain something that seems so obvious for a native speaker kind of reminds me the times I had a hard time explaining to foreigners the meaning of words like "já", "também" and "mesmo". I hope it helps either Portuguese speakers or Portuguese learners. :))

[@musiquerelaxantemeditation4743]

хорошо спасибо

[@moc2130]

спрасибо, сильно объяснил!

[@jamiewnich]

Fedor, great video; however, the use of the word “while” here is not correct. “While” implies and uses a sense of time. For example, while I was running, it started raining. The word that should be used here is “whereas.” This word implies a comparison and/or a contrast between things. For example, I wanted to study art, whereas my parents wanted me to study medicine. I hope this helps to clarify the difference between the two words, which are very often incorrectly used - even by native English speakers.

[@daviddavid9837]

"While" is correct in common use. In the examples given, you might also use "at the same time." "Whereas" is also correct if you switch the word order. There are a number of common phrases that might also fit well. If Fedor was an English or language teacher, he would have a command of grammatical terms and useage, but he's just a guy who is sharing something he knows how to do. He's doing a pretty good job.

[@saulmunoz3731]

Good explaining even for me who have started to learn Russian literally two days ago. You gave very logical explanation

[@RussianLanguagePodcast]

Важная тема и позитивное видео. Молодец!

[@SimonKinsella]

I stumbled across this video and learnt something I hadn't got round to learning, thanks! The sense I got from most of these examples is that же generally seems to have a kind of "emphasising" character, or works as a kind of "strengthener" of meaning, albeit in different specific ways.

[@HayTatsuko]

every time you say "while" in this in the first part -- I am thinking "but" would be more appropriate, just from the context of the examples. :) thanks for all the lovely videos. I'm going through them as part of my efforts to learn at least some basic Russian.

[@amjan]

Or 'however'.

[@OakInch]

I found that it can be roughly translated to an emphasis of "still" in English in almost all cases. As in, Still do that, or I still wanted that. Then sometimes it is just emphasis on another word or phrase without a direct meaning. Maybe that is over simplifying it, but it works for me.
