[@starf13bel]

Love your channel for all the real life speaking

[@Katya_Lastochka]

She gets prettier every year. I also didnt know she spoke Russian so well.

[@nikolanikolic2681]

Its her mother language of course she will speak it

[@andrespalacio9530]

Question: Why does the interviewer address to her in the formal way (вы), yet she also calls her "Masha"?

[@BoostYourRussian]

Such a great question! I didn´t even notice this interesting little detail. This is definitely not common and not the right way to politely address someone (it should be "Мария" and "вы"). My guess is that the girls have met before and this is not their first interview together, so the talk is kind of semi-formal. Maybe it´s the policy of the TV channel to use "вы" during interviews

[@andrespalacio9530]

@@BoostYourRussian Oh, I see. Thank you, Kristina.

[@HS-ie8tj]

@@andrespalacio9530 she is maintaining professionalism but also showing a loving bond of sorts the people/she have with Masha.

[@disdonc6012]

I also have a question: In the Voice Ukraine Kids, as the show title says, there are kids singers. Even though some kids were even under 10 they sometimes used вы when asking questions after the performance. Why is that?

[@Katya_Lastochka]

@@BoostYourRussian Using a short name is a form of affection. If mixed with some formality, its both endearing and respectful. Вы is proper when you have just met the person, but especially with two people of the same age, after youve had a conversation it makes sense to add a little warmth.

[@newcaravan2540]

Спасибо... слушать и читать

[@BoostYourRussian]

Не за что!

[@quemades]

Her voice is like a that of a purring cuddly bear cub. I don’t speak a word of Russian but I can easily hear modesty, demureness, strength and tenderness in her voice. Other lady also has very pleasant timbre. If Russia decided to invade Spain, I would be the first to open the doors 🇪🇸 and organise a welcoming fiesta 🎉❤ in remembrance of Jose de Ribas y Boyons. 🇪🇸✊🏼🇷🇺

[@damquinz9827]

Огромное спасибо!!!. Это типа контента что мне нужна. Моё лично мнение что это очень полезно потому что это очень удобно только смотреть на видео и ты сам понимаешь ти слова которые незнакомые с помощью английского!! ))) обязательно предпочитаю такая типа контента

[@BoostYourRussian]

Спасибо! Рада слышать, что вам понравилось!

[@maraj8215]

это просто то что мне нужно для изучения русского языка я поняла примерно в 70% или 80% о то, что Мария говорила не видя субтитров. Но у меня ещё есть проблемы понимать то что интервьюер говорила потому что она слишком быстро говорит Спасибо вам Большое !!!

[@BoostYourRussian]

Отличный результат, Мара!

[@ingilizceyiogrenmeyiogreni220]

Interviewer: How does it feel spending the NY in Hawaii, just like a normal person? Me: ...

[@BoostYourRussian]

Hahahaha I know, right?

[@Katya_Lastochka]

Its not that expensive going to Hawaii, and its normal considering how many tourists they get. Poverty is not the norm in America. On top of that, young people spending vacation and celebrating with friends is normal, as opposed to working on holidays.

[@marayoxz]

That was great. It was harder to understand the interviewer than the tennis player. Different accent because of region or just a bad interviewer?

[@BoostYourRussian]

Regional accents is not really a thing within Russia. Not sure why it was more difficult for you to understand the interviewer! Maybe she has her unique talking style but I didn´t notice that

[@АндрейКузнецов-л3ц4и]

I think Sharapova got accent because she speaks Russian not so often

[@stlouisramsfan03]

How's Maria's Russian, everyone? I know she's a native speaker but I'm curious to know. And is it true she uses some words that have slightly different pronunciations than Standard Russian?

[@BoostYourRussian]

She was born and raised in Ukraine. Her family moved to the US when she was a teenager. Yes, her pronunciation is a little off sometimes

[@stlouisramsfan03]

@@BoostYourRussian I thought she was born in Nyagan, Russia? Was that a former part of Ukraine? Sorry! I'm still learning 😃

[@jaredmuscat9931]

@@BoostYourRussian That is absolutely not true. She was born in Nyagan, Russian SSR... She moved to the US with her dad in 1994.

[@robertmion6741]

Can you explain how you get "but I just kind of want to get back there" from но как бы просто вернуться. I really struggle with this language as it is really spoken.

[@BoostYourRussian]

Sure! but - но, just - просто, kind of - как бы, to get back - вернуться. "Want" and "there" are not said in Russian but implied

[@Ahmetbrasil]

Она реальная мотивация 😅

[@videothuyetminh-blogspot-c4989]

I have a struggling time focusing on what they're saying, both of them

[@BoostYourRussian]

Are they talking too fast?

[@joscelynperez3889]

Boost Your Russian the interviewer definitely speaks very fast. But Maria Sharapova speaks clearer and at a more relaxed pace.

[@celestinekhasatsili9814]

She said Moscow, I thought it was Moskva

[@zm-lw1zf]

Маша очень хорошо говорить,где она научила русскый 😎,но одиной минус не знает чибурек зделать

[@BoostYourRussian]

Она русская. Ее семья переехала в Америку, когда Маша была ребенком, чтобы она могла там тренироваться с лучшими преподавателями тенниса

[@BoostYourRussian]

She grew up in the US. I think her family moved there when she was around 7 years old

Other girl talks too fast

They both talk fast!

[@ashchbkv6965]

Does she have a little bit of an accent?

[@BoostYourRussian]

No, she doesn´t have an accent but sometimes she has a weird word order or makes tiny mistakes. This is common for bilinguals. However, 99% of the time she speaks perfect Russian

[@ledeyabaklykova]

@@BoostYourRussian. I would concur.

[@HarmonicaGuitar]

@@BoostYourRussian It is not true. Firstly, Sharapova has a noticeable accent. Secondly, her Russian is not very good, her English is much better.

[@bumblebee7542]

Why did she call her Masha?

[@LaLa-ht3rp]

Because it's a shortened informal variant of the name Maria

Why upset? If your level is not enough yet to understand this interview, you simply need to find easier study materials that are fit for your current level of Russian.
