You taught me in 10 minutes what my Russian professor couldn't get across to me all semester! Спасибо!!!

[@ryanforgo7028]

god so true. in fact they were avoiding explaining the cases to us we have finished the whole semester without the cases being explained although they are in the first section of the book. which is why the god damn russian language did not make any sense to me whatsoever! and now i am like oook so it's not just a random language smashed in together ! there is some logic to it !

[@nickburton100]

@@ryanforgo7028 In my 2001 course in the UK, I took the school leaving certificate in Russian. For some students, it was hard to understand the concept of cases since they do not exist in English: this video is good and indeed, there is logic. I am following Russian language and people in preparation for a trip to Bulgaria, where more people understand Russian.

[@paani3327]

Actually we do have cases in English. 1. Subjective case: pronouns used as subject. 2. Objective case: pronouns used as objects of verbs or prepositions. 3. Possessive case: pronouns which express ownership.

Because your lecturer is good that's you understand quickly

Awesome :) Thank you for your feedback

I’m native Russian, just stumbled across this video and imagined myself a foreigner. Lol, that really sounds hard, amazing how I use it everyday and didn’t even notice how complicated Russian grammar is! :D

[@blxzardzz8836]

yea you should be thankful lol

[@lucas.n]

yeah, native speaker of any language take a lot of things for granted😅 That's why many courses propose that you should learn foreign languages just like kids do. Actually living the language comes before full knowledge of the grammar.

[@ValerieWarntz]

@@lucas.n personally I believe that learning grammar is important, at least it makes the whole process faster. At least for me it is so

[@twojadupasmierdzi_xx959]

If you want the full experience try learn Polish, the grammar is so annoying for foreigners. Also there's 7 cases

Wow, this is the most amazing video I have seen for Russian cases. Short, explains the case, and incredibly easy to follow and straight to the point. Спасибо!!!

I agree.

exactly, I don't think I would want to learn Russian if I didin't know Polish

[@pedroalvaro7090]

I am learning Russian, and I am Portuguese. It is not the grammar, but the pronounciation is like that of Portuguese from Portugal. Hope that you are learning Portuguese, Fedor!

[@waadfrelle]

or the other way around! I now have to learn Slovene and here I already learned these cases, yes!

[@BlackPinkize]

These cases exist in Arabic too, but not only for propositions, adjectives, etc.. No, every single word in a sentence has a different ending (somehow like the Chinese tones) based on every word's position in a sentence. Every word has a different ending depending not only on its position in the sentence but also on its interaction with the tense, gender of the person talking plus the gender of the person you are talking to, plural vs singular... it's crazy. If Arabic wasn't one of my languages I would have died trying to learn it. Never knew that Russian was this similar, great video

[@artedesarializ]

I have spent the longest time trying to figure out cases. I looked at other KZbinr's explanations but they leave me even more confused. I even googled it but the written explanations were so long and boring. Finally, a short, informative video that makes sense! Thank you so much for this! Best "cases" video I've seen.....now I can finally start to make basic sentences...will be watching your other videos :)

[@shaneice2503]

seaeass Ikr!! I was so sad because I've had natives explain it,watched videos,and searched for explanations on google. NOTHING helped. I knew how to change endings depending on the case they needed to be in but I struggled with knowing which case to use to begin with! I was so close to giving up on learning cases until I found this video. I'm not sure what he did differently but he somehow made it click in my brain. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to share this with us,now I can progress in my language learning journey.

[@Enoughdata]

No joke dude if you want to learn about grammatical cases and understand them as best as you can, study Latin. There's a channel called LatinTutorial that talks about all of the cases and it's easy to understand.

[@sanyalox01]

Endings of nouns depends more on it's declension (склонение) than its gender. There are three of them: 1. Masculine and feminine nouns ending with -а or -я (мама, дядя). 2. Masculine and neuter nouns ending with -о and -е (neuter nouns)(колесо, море) or no visible ending (masculine nouns)(конь). 3. Feminine nouns ending with -ь (part of their stem)(мышь). It wasn't included in the video but it's pretty simple. All cases of it except nominative and instrumental replace ь with и as an ending. As for instrumental the letter -ю is added. Also there weren't included the plural forms.

[@kamaldas1338]

I was finding it really tough to understand these cases but you just explained it with so much simplicity. First time in your channel, and obviously subscribing it.🙏

Directly to the point, not too much information, that's perfect! I love this video!

[@charlesweatherill874]

I really appreciated the way he collapsed the case endings into a simple table. So many books present the cases in a much more complicated way. Thank you, Fedor!

[@senaa.777]

I had been crying before I found your video, cпасибо! It helped me a lot :')

[@robertpogue8844]

Great video Fedor, as always. This is one of the most difficult aspects of Russian for me, but your video helped a lot. Many thanks!

[@codybennett8516]

I just started learning the accusative case in my class and this video helped me understand it. Thank you so much!

[@mruss381]

Thanks so much man! I think people in general find grammar boring. It's understandably, but with the right teacher it becomes much more engaging. Keep making quality lessons!

[@LiveRussian]

M Russ yeah, it's not easy to memorize all these different endings and to not get lost in them. A good teacher is like a moon at night that lights up your way)))

[@UncleBoom]

Great Examples - and your explanations are very helpful. I've been teaching myself for a year - but hearing talented teachers like you cover the same subjects I've been familiar with - I always learn something! Thank you so much! ... All I might say is that - I really like how you speak naturally, it helps some of these huge words make sense. Don't let people ask you to remove that - it is unique. I want to hear in my mind when a word is said, in a man's way - not to just remember my own butchered sounding of these large common words. Salute Fedor - Good Luck and Thanks Again!

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Hello Feodor, this is an excellent explanation on cases and word endings. Very much appreciated effort. This will be a guide for us. Thank you.

[@ch4gga]

This is the best explanation i've seen for this topic so far!!! Russian is the first language I'm learning which has cases, so it's all a bit confusing to me, but this video helped me understand the topic very well!! I appreciate the example sentences for each case and the tables!

[@karenfromfinasse8430]

I'm gonna be honest, I haven't learned any Russian watching these videos, I just like the way he speaks

[@bonniephengsom4785]

Karen From Finasse - your comment made me chuckle 😅😉 I do agree with you on his speaking voice (very clear enunciation and pleasant tone)! But, if you keep listening to videos like these (and actively try to pick up up information/vocabulary, etc. you'll learn .... little by little) 😊

[@karenfromfinasse8430]

@@bonniephengsom4785 I suppose it would be better if I just listened to the videos instead of watching. His speaking voice is something, but he's also devastatingly handsome!

[@bonniephengsom4785]

@@karenfromfinasse8430 Hah, so we have it - you're distracted by the teacher ... focus, miss 😉😏 (j/k) ... of course, and I agree with you (again) - he's not hard to look at 🙄 and his demeanor is genuinely kind & calming ... combined with his straightforward teaching methods - all make him very effective! It's def good to watch the videos (in addition to listen) as it connects/deepens the learning experience (plus, we have to see the written language) ... but I repeat what I watch multiple times for it to sink in ... as I tend to be doing this in the kitchen while cooking/cleaning. I discovered this channel a few months ago (and a few other really good YT channels) in my recent interest to learn Russian. I wish I thought of picking it up years ago! I love the way it sounds and there's so much great classic literature from this country - maybe one day I'll read some pages from those novels in the native language (but I'm getting ahead of myself 😊) I hope you keep going strong with learning Russian!! Cheers 🤗✌

As a student of Latin, this doesn't really intimidate me XD I actually like languages with grammatical cases. It gives the language more structure, instead of all these weird ambiguities and exceptions in English.

[@Riurelia]

Grammatical cases are one of my favorite features of languages.

[@fluffysaffron5719]

Yeah, I'm still deciding whether or not to study Russian, but I'm really glad that I took Latin as an elective so I'm familiar with cases. I think in the Indo-European language family, there are more languages with than without them.

[@rdtx2049]

Exactly what I was looking for. Спасибо большое!

[@evangelosgeronicolas2385]

Thank you! Very helpful. Russian cases are intimidating and we need all the help that you generously offer. What I would like to bring to your attention is that it may often be interesting to think of prepositions as adverbs. In other words, to think of them as qualifying the verbal activity that the sentence denotes. When we interpret prepositions as adverbs the interpretion of the cases changes. For instance, compare 'I watch the pen' with 'I write with the pen'. Although the activity of the subject is different, in English the form of the pen stays the same. Languages however which use cases help us to denote that the way we experience the pen is not the same in both cases. In the first case the interesting,say, colour of the pen draws my attention. But when I write with the pen I focus on my writing and my awareness of the pen is a mere dim background awareness. This is a phenomenological interpretation of the cases and personally I find it very useful.

[@sentrygun9978]

I really like this because it explains the cases quite well. I'm a native speaker, and a lot of the videos I've seen are nowhere near as simple and straightforward as this one.

[@jingyunroderickhuang5449]

[@Aeduo]

This is probably the most descriptive I've seen this topic yet. It'll take a lot for me to remember it though. But yeah this is very clear and digestible, not bogged down with a bunch of stuff that requires you to basically already know what they're talking about because it's more just documentation for people who already study language rather than people trying to get in to the basics of a language.

[@herefobeer]

This is the best way to learn cases. Oxford's very good (and yet very concise) Grammar & Verbs handbook teaches it the same way and it also nails the concept with one page before going into edge cases. Most books and courses for some reason don't give this bird's view of cases before going into detail and it's overwhelming.

[@Osafune2]

Agreed. I am blessed with an excellent tutor, but I think an overview of them all before delving into each is helpful. You can be mindful of other cases even while learning a specific one, so you have exposure to all of them
