"if you're an older student." Very amusing.

Oh, in comparison, this makes German, a simply simple language! 😉 However, I find Russian fascinating, I am fond of Russia, its people, culture, music and great history. Another thing is learning the language it is rather difficult as a beginner. Having said so, the negation is really simple, I admit, and it does make sense to me.

Hello, I would say I'm a decent Russian speaker. But as the Russian language is really difficult, sometimes, I need help with grammar or I can't understand something very well. In these situations, your youtube channel was always the best I could get. And now, I'm trying to understand the Russian adverbial participle verbs (говоря, любя, находясь). I kinda get the grammatical meaning of these verbs and how to create them, but I can't understand them really well (and how to use them in practice) and it gets even more complicated for me as I'm not a native English speaker and I just couldn't find any sources that would explain it well. So I'm turning to you with a little request/a question for help. I couldn't find any videos about this topic on your channel, so I would like to ask if there couldn't be in the near future a video about this topic? or if I just didn't notice, could you please send me a link?

Dear teacher-I need to know how to make the questions such as-Was someone here? Has someone call me? Has you gone anywhere? Has someone call you? Did you help anyone? Have you said something? Have you ever been to a place? I saw your hot somewhere, she does want to live anywhere. These are the situations, I don't know how to use them. Thank you very much and appreciate your great work

[@russiangrammar]

It sounds like in those questions you're asking about something/someone indefinite, that may not even exist; in those situations we use -нибудь after the question word: Кто-нибудь был здесь? Ты помогал кому-нибудь? You can find more details in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naemY2B9oZuZjK8 :)

What diffrence does it make if i use "не" as prefix? некуда, некогда итд.

[@russiangrammar]

These are quite different, sometimes called 'potential' negatives (or perhaps 'lack of potential'!), like "there is no... " in English. Не́где спать = 'there's nowhere to sleep,' не́чего делать = 'there's nothing to do,' мне не́ с кем играть = 'I have nobody to play with,' не́чем было писать = 'there was nothing to write with.' Note that the не́- is stressed in these constructions.

Are you native russian?

[@russiangrammar]

My native language is English. :)

Сколько языков можешь говорить?

[@russiangrammar]

Хорошо знаю русский, когда-то хорошо знал немецкий. Сейчас более-менее активно учу украинский и ирландский. В прошлом учил ещё чешский, голландский, финский, испанский, французский, но практики нет и они у меня хромают... Кстати: можно знать язык (что? винительный падеж), можно говорить на языке (на чём? предложный падеж). :)
