How NATIVES use WORD ORDER in Russian

[@anyao2640]

Whoever learns Russian, i love you. Thanks for learning our language even after the beginning of that horrible war 😮❤😮

[@H-DA]

I do. About 300 Mio people speak russian all around the globe, but how many of them started war? I think that's a tiny percentage. Also speaking the same languages get's us become closer and understand others better, which helps to solve and to avoid war. English is usefull to get the message, but learning russian helps to understand the culture, which adds up to what one said. And there are so many ukrainian that speak russian, too. I believe, it's even more important to learn russian these days, than ever before. ❤

[@davidhalldurham]

To me, this is one of the great beauties of Russian and other highly inflected languages. You can almost toss the words into the air, say them in whatever order they fall to the ground, and the sentence will make sense. Okay, not always and sometimes it sounds silly, but word order is much more fluid in Russian than in English.

[@manfredneilmann4305]

Agreed. But I would say: word order in Russian is more *flexible than in English.

[@AngelaRodhas]

Agree! I speak Spanish and I always thought that the order in English does not correspond with the logical line of thought, as if it were backwards.

[@Мопс_001]

It sounds more literary (which adds some silliness actually) when using non standart word order. Of course most of sentences will make sense but will sound like you are a poet or Yoda (atleast in Russian version he commonly uses unusual orders and sounds more "majestic")

[@doreew]

Hehe, yeah, its exactly why english a little bit harder to learn for us (and punctuation, we put commas literally everywhere)

[@jnyfmg]

This is very interesting and helpful! When it's written text, sometimes you would bold words in a sentence to emphasize something, or just say it louder. Like, "Why would you *buy* that?" vs "Why would you buy *that* ?" Learning that you can restructure your sentences to convey that information without tone of voice is cool. The Russian language is very versatile this way. Спасиба!

[@DMC428]

For some folks it's easier to understand the following way: Я тебя люблю = I love you. тебя Я люблю = YOU are the one I love.

[@rinakohl6453]

Тебя Я люблю - I'm the person who loves you. Depends on accent

[@fredfondler7281]

This seems akin to emphasing words in a sentence in English. Like saying, "I didn't steal HER horse" instead of "I didn't steal her HORSE" or "I didn't STEAL her horse"

[@LopsideMakes]

'I didn't steal HER horse', is like saying, 'I didn't steal a horse from her'. 'I didn't steal her HORSE', implies that you stole something else from her. 'I didn't STEAL her horse', implies you didn't steal it, but borrowed the horse. It's nice to understand this as English as a second language, but I can see why it's so difficult for others to learn English. :(

[@ca6aka]

russians also usually change the meaning of what they say by emphasizing words. it is true that in russian you can rearrange words in any order. it's just that some word order will sound strange and unnatural. and even so, the meaning will still depend on the intonation, not the order of the words.

[@whiteha5105]

​@SirLynel Actually, the same thing is used in Russian too

[@lymphhh]

I think the best analogy in English for "Тебя я люблю" is "It is YOU who I love". Pretty much the same emphasis, just put a bit differently grammatically

[@DrowDanger]

It`s just another way to do that in russian. because you can still emphasise words even in regular order. "Я люблю тебя"(I love you), "Я люблю ТЕБЯ"(i love YOU)

[@braskelu2262]

Seriously, this channel has changed my learning progress. Very thankful for it from Brazil

[@juliab3326]

As someone who grew up bilingual as a child, which later evolved into receptive bilingualism, I always struggled with Russian sentence structure because I knew it was quite flexible, yet I often found myself not sounding natural. There was always something off, which was frustrating. English, on the other hand, was somehow easier for me to grasp. This difficulty persisted, especially since I later grew up learning (and sometimes forgetting) four languages simultaneously. The grammar of those languages still gets mixed up in my brain. Videos like these are incredibly helpful to me.

[@oiartsun]

Your examples from 7:12 on remind me of times I've encountered this word order (OSV) in Russian before, and thought to myself, "Ah yes, when Russian goes Yoda-speak" 😉 - but now I properly understand why, so thanks for that.

I think we also do this in English to some extent, “I love you” could be changed to “it is YOU that I love”, if you wanted to contrast your love for someone over someone else. It’s not something I have thought about before though, my Russian teachers always just say that word order doesn’t matter but I am still a beginner.

[@helkor_z]

Probably they say that it doesn't matter because it doesn't change sense of sentence, just make some emphasis which in most cases in emotional layer of language rather than in grammar. So to understand it you need some basic knowledge like from this video and just a lot of experience to properly get point of order changes. Even speakers hardly explain it because it something we don't really think, we just feel it ;)

I know it is a video about russian, but i have an interesting fact: In polish language we have it exactly the same, but the emphasised word it not at the beginning, but at the end. Well... sometimes at the beginning, it depends on the context, but it is mostly at the end. You say it at the beginning when you want to add something later, like: "Ciebie kocham, a jej nienawidzę" (i love you, but i hate her) And if you put an emphasis on a word, you use the full form of it. You can say the basic form: "Kocham cię" (i love you), or "Kocham ciebie" (i love YOU), or "ja cię kocham" (i LOVE you), or even "Ja kocham ciebie" (I love YOU)(emphasis both on I and on YOU. when adding "ja", you are also making it noticable, you wouldn't use it normally). Oh, I almost forgot: If you say "to" (this) at the beginning, you get "To ciebie kocham" (It is YOU, who I love), you could use it in "To ciebie kocham, nie ją" (It is YOU, who i love, not HER) Such a simple thing, but you can play a lot with it!

Я конечно может чего не понял. Но в примере с "нет, тебя я люблю", ТЕБЯ должно идти как раз таки последним, если мы хотим сделать на этом акцент. А "тебя я люблю" как раз вообще не по русски звучит, если только мы не сделаем "искусственное" ударение на нем. Вот если вставит в начало "да", то тогда еще сойдёт.

[@nightyonetwothree]

it;s not the same as 'wa' usually is a subject, so you aren't just swapping words, but their roles also. While in russian you can change order, but not roles - getting same statement but with different vibes/context. Still there are different suffixes in japanese to accent on the subject, like 'mo' or 'ga' which can replace 'wa' => roles still the same, but context changed a bit. So overall your statement is correct, but in a bit different way :) PS: not a native in japanese also, correct me if i'm wrong.

[@MiguelEMG]

Just as a side note in English we don’t always have to add words, instead we can emphasis the word to say it similarly. The word order stays the same but you’ll say you’re talking to a “friend” and it’ll convey a similar meaning

[@kmdsummon]

In Russian we also can emphasis words and that also has context. For example, if we assume that mother is telling a father about what the son is doing. In that example, word order “with a friend” - “he” - “speaks” means something around disbelief with a bit of negative context (I know he is not speaking with his friend, but girlfriend and am upset/frustrated that he does that instead of doing homework), while the regular word order “he” - “speaks” - “with a friend” with emphasis on “friend” shows a bit of disbelief with a positive context (like, for example he is talking with his girlfriend, I know that and I know he doesn’t want us to discuss that, but I am happy that he is talking with his girlfriend).

I get the point you're making but it's not true that you need to add extra words to change the meaning like that. It's all in voice intonation and body language. For instance: M- Who are you talking to? S- I'm just talking to a friend. M- A "friend" (she says with a sort of smirk and teasing tone of voice) In that sense, she didn't have to say "yeah right" out loud but her tone and facial expression clearly says "mhm sure, just a friend. You think you're sneaky". But enough of that. Amazing video and very interesting. It's cool to see how different cultures express themselves, Russian is such a fascinating and beautiful language.

Ну и по мелочи: "вО многИХ еврейских семьЯХ (здесь запятая не нужна) они скажут..." "немного" - слитно "тЫ мне нравИШЬСЯ"

About the first sentence word order and the previous commenter: You can also say "Отличный это был урок". That kind of reflexes how you think when you make up the sentence on-the-spot. First, you say your brigjtest impression: "Отличный!" Then, you come up with the word to define the subject (or describe its other, not so bright, qualities). And as you do that, you say everything that's there just for the grammar and clarification - time tense, the "этот", etc... So the thinking goes like: Отличный! - это был... - урок. Or Урок!! - это был... отличный! Normally that thinking process is shorter than seconds. But imagine a drunk Russian whose thinking is impaired by alcohol. So this person struggles with grammar. In this case, he (or she) will say: Отличный ... эээ ... урок. Or Урок... эээ... отличный. P. S. If you speak like a determined person who does not want yo spend time on unnecessary grammar stuff? You just say boldly: Отличный урок! Or Урок отличный! That's not rude. In fact, if someone wants to write (or say) a loooong text, they start with such bold, short sentences. So as not to make an impression that they are old people who are going to talk forever. In fact the "Отличный урок это был" is a valid word order, as I remember. But it is mostly used by old people when they want to start a looooong story about their past :) P. P. S. All those advises aren't something to learn by heart. Just an insight into how our language reflects thoughts and feelings. In fact, every person thinks a little differently - so the word order that they use will be a little different. Especially that shows itself in long, complicated sentences. So don't try too hard to fit into schemes, models etc :)

P. S. Но вот в случае с падежами и родами следовать схемам и правилам действительно необходимо

You could also do this with English its just not as common. Like you could say "a friend you're talking to eh?" If you emphasize "a friend" then it will come across like you don't believe it...similar to Russian. Its all in the emphasis. Anyway love the channel. I'm still just trying to memorize the alphabet but I'm getting there.

do not confuse people, in russian word order has part of meaning like intonation, and default order is like common european SVO

Could you please make a lesson three for the “phrases for beginners”

[@lymphhh]

Don't forget about English peculiarities with word order in such sentences as "Where go you?" (a bit archaic, but still) and "How are you?".

Фёдор, ты рассказывал о анекдотах? Они могут довольно много рассказать о человеке

SVO OVS OSV SOV VOS VSO It's kinda like Latin? :D Of course, my native Swedish is 100% SVO. No exceptions. Maybe some allowances for poetry but not really. So it's interesting for me to consider a language where word order can be mixed up. Am I on the right track if I think something like "Мама купила продукты" answers the question "who bought the produce?" then? I just realized we kind of do that in Swedish too: "Talar du franska?" "Nej, tyska talar jag". This is OVS overriding SVO in order to emphasize that I don't speak French but I *do* speak German. It works, but it is a bit archaic. I don't think young Swedes talk like that.

I would say that "тебя я люблю" is more relavant in this situation: Masha: - Ivan, you love her, not me! (Иван, ты любишь её, а не меня!) Ivan: - Сome on, don't start, it's you I love! (Ну, не начинай, тебя я люблю!)

[@katehok9921]

Порядок слов не так важен здесь. Больше влияет логическое ударение, например, я бы сказал: "я ТЕБЯ люблю" - при этом нужно голосом выделить слово ТЕБЯ

Тема для размышлений: Какой уровень языка имеет носитель до обучения в школе? То есть, например, если я 5-летний ребенок, который свободно общается на своем языке, какой у меня уровень языка?
