In Russian there is such a nice word as "зарплата" (salary). This word comes from the phrase "заработная плата" (pay for work). The word "заработная" is formed from "ЗА работу" (for work)

[@ioanstef1983]

I wouldn't care about salary outside of Russia, possibly not even there. Way to high privilege for Western Losers to be allowed to have me as an employee. Minimum wage would be, with indulgence, 15 Billion Euros/Month, tax Free!

I was going to say that myself. I learnt Spanish before I started learning Russian and it now seems strange to me that in English, "for" can be used for both of these when they are almost opposites and yet I can still understand the meaning. English is certainly more context-orientated than Russian. Russian is much more logical and makes sense.

Its very simular to Polish, in Polish we also say "dla" and "za" the same way, for example "Auto stoi za domem" The car is behind the house and "To jest dla mamy" it is for mom. Спасибо за видео :)

[@IgorS.]

Also, "за" has the meanig "instead of". For example, "Я оплачу это за (вместо) тебя" - "I'll pay for it for (instead of) you". So, you do someone's work for someone instead of themselves.

There is one important meaning of "за" not mentioned in this video: if the English "for" means support of something (i.e. the opposite of "against"), the equivalent Russian word is "за". For example: они сражались за Родину (they fought for the homeland), он болеет за Спартак (he is a Spartak fan), она голосовала за президента (she voted for the president), они высказались за поддержку законопроекта (they spoke in favor of supporting the bill).

For me для I figuratively translate it as "in order to achieve-the-benefit-of/contribute-to certain action or person" (I know, kinda long). "This cake is for [the benefit of mom: consumption of] mom" And in the case of за more like "because of" "in exchange" because the idea of this word is like saying the action is being done for expressing a balance or equality wether it be for being thankful or to express a cause-effect idea, it's kinda hard to explain in english ig; I can tell bc I think "за" works the same way as "por" in spanish which I speak natively. "This gift is for you, [in exchange/reward/effect after] your good job." So I must highlight this is just my hypothesis, hope this helps someone :)

so, I'm thinking of 《за》 as behind ( ie. машина за домом); it seems we can apply it to the use of "for" as well. The gift came after a good job... The payment of a million rubles came after / behind an agreement to buy the car... If I'm right about this way of thinking: Этот торт дла мамы а этот торт за eë день рождения. This cake is there as a result of / came behind the fact of, her birthday. In English we just shorten it to, "This cake is for her birthday" because it's easier. So it's settled, Росский is the superior language.

So «если» & «за» can work in conjunction, right? I will do this IF you do that. Я сделаю это, ЕСЛИ ты это сделаешь. & We can exchange this FOR that. Мы можем обменять это ЗА это. BUT why does google translate switch to HA. Can you explain for us?

[@avrilled]

Because the verb "обменять" is used with the preposition "на": Он хочет обменять свою машину на новую яхту. (He wants to exchange his car for a new yacht.) So even though "for" can often be translated as "для" or "за", some verbs require a specific preposition or case (with "обменять" it is "на" and the accusative case for both objects).

At 3:33, you translate as Я бегаю для похудения as "I'm running to lose weight". "To lose weight" is a verb, whereas "похудения" is a noun. Because похудения is a noun, we have to use для.

"За" is not used when you mean "in purpose of"! Let's take a sentence from this video to visualize: Я помыл пол для тебя. [+ Genitive] = I mopped the floors for you, because I know you like it clean. (for a person) Я помыл пол для нашей вечеринки. [+ Genitive] = I mopped the floors for our party. (for the purpose of, imagine you are having a party and the house is supposed to be clean, so the mopping serves for the purpose of getting your house ready) vs. Я помыл пол за пять рублей. [+ Accusative] = I mopped the floors for five rubles. (in exchange for) Я помыл пол за то, что я тебя обидел. [not in this example, but with object + Accusative] = I mopped the floors for upsetting you. (because I thought I kind of deserved it as a punishment for myself) Я помыл пол за пять минут. [+ Accusative] = I mopped the floors within five minutes. (within, this is only used when talking about time) Я помыл пол за холодильником. [+ Instrumental] = I mopped the floors behind the fridge. (behind, only used when talking about location) Also: Я помыл пол за тебя. [+ Genitive ] = I mopped the floors instead of you. (you were supposed to do it originally, but for some reason I did it) Я за то, чтобы ты помыл пол. [not in this example, but with object + Accusative] = I am for you mopping the floors.

Why do so many Russian words have Latin roots?

[@AKawalski]

Russian is full of 'imported' words. It is fun to learn it as suddenly venture upon a word from another language you know or are familiar with. Sometimes they are not used as a like for like, but are often adjacent in meaning.

„Эти туфли сделаны для ходьбы.“ is correct?

[@vladoshka9014]

Да

[@BeFluentinRussian]

Perfect!

[@user-kz3rc1hx7e]

It's grammatically correct. But for Russian ear this phrase sounds kind of unnaturally. I would say "Эти туфли хороши для ходьбы" - if you want to express how good these shoes are for walking. If it's formal, if you just state the fact that shoes are made to be used for walking, it sounds trivially and a little bit pointless because what else are shoes made for?

@@user-kz3rc1hx7e Well I translated Nancy Sinatra's song title "these shoes are made for walking" ^^' that's how i memorise things, by connecting with other things xD

But what is the difference between Для теба, За теба and тебе?

[@user-ri1li4eo4m]

I wiĺl try to explain. "Для тебя" something for you. Example торт для тебя(cake for you). За тебя - when someone do something for you. Я за тебя буду драться ( I wiĺl fight for you)

Тебе - to you
