This is amazing. I have never heard the intonation because besides English, I speak Norwegian and Swedish - so I assumed everyone's intonation rises at the end! This is so cool, and it helps me so much with ear training for Russian. I have Russian students, so I hear Russian every day. Please do more videos like this. I've also never seen anyone teach Russian this way, and it's incredibly helpful (and new for me). I think I miss words because I'm listening for intonation.

In Russian, we use intonation mainly to highlight important words regardless of their position in the sentence, serving the same function as word order in English. Ты купил машину вчера. - "You bought a car yesterday." Ты КУПИЛ машину вчера? - "Did you buy a car yesterday?" Ты купил машину ВЧЕРА? - "Was your car bought yesterday or any other day?" ТЫ купил машину вчера? - "Are you the person who bought the car?" Ты купил МАШИНУ вчера? - "Did you spend your money on a car?"

We don't do this whole thing just out of politeness that he's talking about in the video here 7:43 which seems to be common with Americans as part of the whole small talk thing. And we don't do small talk either. (We'd only say things like that if we are really genuinely very impressed somehow. Which would ironically usually be the case with someone saying that they were writers as we respect that a lot. But as in писатель, that writes books. We don't call писатель someone that writes for a newspaper, just a journalist/columnist.) So she paused to give him space for that whole polite praising dance in response that people do in America and that's the cultural difference he was talking about

@@silvia.4442 no problem ☺️ This also reminded me of another similar cultural difference, where Americans tend to always give this little words of encouragement and agreement (I think you even have some specific term for them but I don't remember it) when someone speak, and that's what is considered a polite thing to do if I understand it correctly. Like yes, m-hm, right... Even during business conversation. While in Russia in this case it would be considered polite to be quiet and let the other person say all they have to say without interrupting them. And same with conference presentations, theater performances and things like that: Russians would usually save all the clapping, ovations and all that for the end and try not to interrupt the speaker or performer

Fun fact: almost all of Russia uses "бордюр" which is just borrowed from french as it was already said. But specifically in St.Petersburg and some close areas natives use a word "поребрик"/"porEbrik" instead, which is a fully Russian word :) It's a kind of a meme in our country. Since we almost don't have variety of accents, you rarely can understand where is the person from from their speech, but if he uses "porebrik" instead of "bordure", you can be 90% sure that this person is from St.Petersburg.
