Negation in Russian

Using negation in Russian is easy - the equivalents for words like "nothing, never, nowhere" and others are very consistent. In this video we'll cover an aspect of negation that might remind you of Spanish, or Czech, or Chaucer; and we'll touch on how to handle prepositions, for when you're "not thinking about anything," "not talking with anyone," or "nobody has anything" (hm - what preposition would you need for that last one?).
These negative expressions also remind us of how important it is to get comfortable with case forms of кто and что.

"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.

Thanks for your videos. Very useful! Do you plan on making any videos on the russian gerund?

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. :)

[@colossions5895]

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). :)
