Очень неприятно и раздражает когда пожилому человеку говорят "ТЫ". "Очень приятно было пообщаться с ТОБОЙ!" и т.д. Сэм, я понимаю что ты иностранец, но ты же уже очень долго живёшь здесь! Сэм, совет: если ты путаешься когда говорить ТЫ или ВЫ- ВСЕГДА обращайся на ВЫ!. Даже с младшими и юными людьми. Если что, тебе персонально предложат перейти на ТЫ, сам человек. А так- это очень неуважительно и некрасиво с твоей стороны. Если проще: с друзьями- на ТЫ, со всеми остальными - на ВЫ, до того момента пока они САМИ предложат перейти на ТЫ. Это универсальный совет. (Я даже с младшими, юными, даже школьниками обращаюсь на ВЫ: вместо мальчик, девочка: "молодой человек, Вы не могли бы..", "девушка, Вы не могли бы..". И Они сами сразу стараются ещё вежливее быть, после этого). А то как ты часто ТЫКАЕШЬ незнакомым людям- выглядит очень некрасиво и невоспитанно (к тому же ты уже давно здесь живёшь, должен же понимать).

@@SamsRussianAdventures Странно. Дорогой Сэм. Я не хотел тебя обидеть, а хотел дать совет, который тебе поможет. Кроме того привёл пример из личной жизни, того как поступаю сам. То что я советовал - относится к реальной жизни. В Рунете же (русскоязычном интернете) принято друг к другу обращаться на ты. Но думаю ты сам об этом знаешь. Я написал этот коммент потому что не только в этом видео ты обращаешься к пожилым людям на ТЫ, но и во многих других, (то есть это системная, повторяющаяся, а не разовая ошибка) Я твой подписчик и пересмотрел твои видео. Часто ты попадаешь в неловкие ситуации, и не понимаешь почему. А я как русскоязычный вижу со стороны причину- и решил тебе её указать, чтоб у тебя было меньше неприятных моментов в реальном (а не онлайн) общении. Понимаю, что иностранцу наверное не видно разницы между "ты" и "вы", но как русский я её чувствую, она- на уровне эмоций. И эти эмоции могут ощущать те люди, к которым ты обращаешься на улице и в своих видео. Обращение к пожилому человеку- на ТЫ- это верх не уважения (понятно, что иностранцу не всегда легко это уловить). Как пример, например когда русские в Англии например просят кого-то открыть окно, я просто переведу с русского на Английский "Open the window!", не вкладывая в этом ничего плохого. Но мои англоговорящие друзья скажут мне, что для англоговорящего это звучит очень грубо, и следует сказать, вроде "Excuse me, could you open the window, please?" (И я как-то не подумал обижаться на это, а наоборот, поблагодарил бы за совет). Здесь- то же самое. Примерно тоже самое, при обращении к пожилому, или незнакомому человеку на ТЫ. И я тебе хотел подсказать то же самое, как и они мне. И мне очень странно что ты так близко к сердцу воспринял мои слова к тебе. Я совершенно не хотел тебя обидеть. И твой сарказм про "духоту" показался мне странным, но не могу сказать что сильно обидным, поскольку понимаю что ты вероятно, неправильно меня понял. Мне очень жаль что мои слова обидели тебя, но они не содержали в себе чего-либо обидного, и не имели такую цель. Не всегда друг- тот, кто говорит только приятные вещи, или только тот кто хвалит. Здесь я хотел дать тебе рабочий и работающий совет. Который помогает и мне самому. Всех благ тебе). Жаль что ты неправильно меня понял, и увидел возможно в моих словах то, чего там нет

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

I didn’t really study it. I did apply to study it at a Russian university, but I never went to class. I’ve lived in Russia for 16 years so I just picked it up. My grammar and accent is awful but after living for so long in another country, I never have apprehension speaking. I forget that I’m foreign. For the first few years in Russia, I just spoke English and life was difficult, partly because times were different. In my city there were no shopping centres or even supermarkets. I was as forced to speak it. I’d say after about 8 years in Russia I felt competent, that’s just coz I didn’t study it. Though I know many people who studied it and speak correctly, but when they speak normal Russian on the street, nobody understands them.

Yes! She is such a wonderful person!!! I met her after and gave her some money.

[@elliotchang4697]

Are there a lot of British people that can speak fluent Russian like you?

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

My accent and grammar is pretty bad to be fair. I don't know any brits but there are many foreigners who speak Russian way better than me.

[@MultiCoolman125]

​@@SamsRussianAdventures I am from Russia, and you speak very well. Not at all bad. A lot of native English speakers that speak Russian have a very strong English accent and it is hard for me to understand what they're saying, but you speak very clearly! Also - I grew up in Moscow, if you haven't been, you should see it! It's a really beautiful city.

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

@@MultiCoolman125 Thank you. I speak without thinking, maybe it's why. I haven't been to Moscow for a long time. I will visit again soon. Moscow is like a different planet!

You don't say "sarcastically" you have same injuries or anything else. It is considered being a lie in russian culture. We don't do that. Also.. It is a dog 7:55 not a cat xD

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

Luckily I’m mates with the guy so I explained to him that it was sarcasm. I know many Russians who are very sarcastic. Should I tell them that it’s not a Russian thing to do and that they are considered lier’s? Also, I know it’s a dog. It’s also my friend. I always joke with her about her dog being the size of a cat. You can see her in other videos

@I Love Russia Channel okay, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions then. Didn't know it was all part of the plan :D

[@jolevangelista]

Обзываться нечего. Но вообще для меня странно звучало тыкание. Было похоже, что это незнакомые люди. И соответственно, необходимо использовать вы в любом случае. Даже со знакомыми часто более уместно использовать вы - разве что вы уже неплохо друг друга знаете и общались до этого в неформальной обстановке.
