*C1/C2 word* Ба́тя 1. Father (informal). Word отец is formal, word папа is like homy 2. Big daddy (≠father), tough and skilled person. Example: отойди, сейчас батя всё сделает - step aside, (daddy) will make the thing right. In this phrase the speaker can call himself or other person батя as well Related words: ба́тин - belonged to dad Ба́тькович/ба́тьковна - joky "patronym". And yes, it's also informal :) One more little lesson. For example we have person named Иван Иванович Иванов. Here are ways we can call him: Иван Иванович Иванов - formal, official Иванов - formal (can't describe situation for) Иван Иванович - formal Иван - both Ваня, Ванёк, Ванька - informal Иваныч - informal Иван Батькович - informal

In German one has 'Sie', pretty much the norm for people one has just met (usually same age, or older), or even those one has known for years, much better than English, where there is no formal speech. Being offered the 'Du' is a big thing. Helmut Kohl will forever be remembered for his "you can say you to me" comment. 🙂

I thought the name shortening was so strange at first, especially ones that don't make sense to English ears. Like Alexander to Sasha or Yevgeni turning into Shenya... but then I realized wait a minute, we do that too. Sure, there's the obvious ones like Michael -->Mike, David --> Dave, Anthony --> Tony... but then we have weird ones too!! Like Richard & Dick, Charles & Chip, or Margaret & Peggy, Amanda & Mandy, or Catherine & Katie for women. It's the same shit we do, just a bit differently. Now... the patronymic... that just makes me wonder. When do Russian's use their last name? Take a famous Russian, Evgeni Malkin, so I guess his dad's name was Vladimir so he would become "Evgeni Vladimirovich" in formal settings? Then... when would someone call him by his full name? Evgeni Vladimirovich Malkin? And does that mean Russian's never take middle names? Just their dad's name plus "vich" ???
@MrBEIRYBAR2 жыл бұрын
ofc last name is used to identify the person, since there can be multiple Maria Ivanovnas. Usually last name is not considered polite to adress a person just by it. For example, if they ask you 'who did this?!' and you answer 'Malkin did' it would either mean you don't know his name or he is not your friend or you have something against him. Usually teachers refer to students by their last name because there's just so many of them that surnames are simpler to remember.
@Yaroslav_Rus2 жыл бұрын
By name and patronymic we address mainly to teachers, bosses and people of the older generation. We call people by their last name in cases when it is necessary to clarify who we are talking about. We especially often use the surname if we do not address a person personally, but speak or ask a third person, also for clarification. We don't have a middle name. It is very rare to have double surnames

Hi, Very good video. I have no idea of Russian. But I have a question, how do you use the patronymic name when talking to a foreign person, like a person whose father’s name is not Russian?. How or when do people share their patronymics?
@ivaansobolev1385 Жыл бұрын
It depends on the foreign person, usually copy western standards and simply say Mr. and ms., Mrs., I.e господин Renfrew (for example). If the person is willing to assimilate then of course we will ask his/her's father's name and adapt it, luckily the majority of European names are easy to adapt. Some examples: father's name Patrick - Patrickovich (vna), Liam - Liamovich(vna).

We use patronimics mostly when we address directly to person. When we talk about the person, mostly last name or full name is used, and sometimes full name+patronimic. You cannot use just full name referring to a president, so when Putin is addressed directly it is either Vladimir Vladimirovich or Gospodin President, and when he is talked about, it is either Vladimir Vladimirovich or Putin.

“Вы” appeared under Peter the Great. He began to write decrees on his own behalf in the plural, listing titles. This innovation developed into formalism. Before Peter, all the tsars and princes were "ты". Nothing has changed in the religious texts. If Rus' had been baptized not 700 years before Peter, but after him, then God would have been addressed as “вы”. Since the time of Peter, first among aristocrats, and then down to peasant families, the father of the family was addressed as ”вы". And only after the First World War and the Civil War, dad again became “ты”.
