How to say "Went" in Russian? It's complicated. Here are the tricks I've learned over the years

[@bytownmary]

Very clear presentation of this challenging topic. Thanks very much.

[@howjaneylearned]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Professor Janey, your grammar videos are SO incredibly helpful. My professor (online) does not explain anything and the textbook is pretty bad as well. I'm only three weeks in and you have taught me all my grammar lessons. Thank you so much!! I have no idea what I would do without this resource.

I am so glad to have found this channel ! I've been studying Russian for two years now and still struggling. I just LOVE this language so much and am DYING to be fluent in it. It's really comforting when you find native english speakers who had to learn, there is such an understanding of the experience and process.

I found those lessons on root words also so helpful....it really helped with the deeper meaning of the words and how they related to each other.

[@howjaneylearned]

Awesome! I need to do another video soon! Do you have a particularly word root you would like me to talk about?

[@ttopwilson]

Great info! Because you’re American you understand why we want to say it the wrong way. Good clarification.

[@howjaneylearned]

Yeah, in English we just say "went", not sure why Russian had to make it so complicated!

Cool lesson!)

Great lesson! really clear and concise. Thank you for the practice sheets which are really helpful too. Quick question, why is it "вас" instead of "вы" не было на семинаре?

[@howjaneylearned]

When something or someone wasn't somewhere and you're noticing their absence you literally say, "there was none of...". So you're literally saying, "Why was there none of you at the seminar?" It sounds funny, but that's how you talk about the absence of something.

Russian grammar is like an equation.

[@howjaneylearned]

Right???? I always tell my students that. That certain equations need certain treatments. The problem is that if they hate math (like I do) this scares them away haha

[@dmitrychoobise]

Да, глаголы движения сложная тема в русском. Во других славянских языках вроде тоже.

Не пойти ли нам в кафе? Is this a polite form of request?

yes

[@achatcueilleur5746]

Yes, if talking to a friend.

Дача без отдачи. Чиста для души, а не прибыли для.

6:25 Hate to make you change your slides but PERCEIVE isn't spelled correctly. English is hard!😀

[@howjaneylearned]

Darrrrrr. Now that's really going to feed the conspiracies that I'm actually a Russian who is just PRETENDING to be an American learning Russian.

А ведь кроме глаголов "идти" и "ехать", есть еще "лететь" или даже "плыть"!)

[@howjaneylearned]

и лезть и лазить и ползти и ползать и катиться и кататься и бежать и бегать :(

[@achatcueilleur5746]

@@howjaneylearned бежать это про время (время бежит), в бегать это больше про двигать ногами быстрее.

[@howjaneylearned]

Не совсем. Ведь, можно спросить у кого-то, "куда ты бежишь?" Вот целая система: www.rki.today/2020/09/blog-post.html

[@achatcueilleur5746]

@@howjaneylearned спросить у кого-то, "куда ты бежишь?" - это спросить "куда ты спешишь/торопишься? Женщина говорит: "Все, уже опаздываю на работу. Я побежала." Означает, что она не бедет нигде останавливаться (тратить время), а не собирается стать бегуньей на каблуках.

[@achatcueilleur5746]

​@@howjaneylearned Все говорит о том,что слово "бежать" привезли с собой из Украины в Москву карьеристы большевики после 1918-го года и адаптировали в новый российский язык как получилось. Forrest Gump: Run Forrest, run! Беги, Форест, беги! (русский) Біжи, Форест, біжи! (украинский) Biegnij Forrest, biegnij! (польский) В стороне от больших городов РФ можно услышать "Он бегит", а в больших городах скорее скажут "он бежит". Официально говорят: "заключенные совершили побег из тюрьмы", но не "заключенные сбежали из тюрьмы"
