Russian Gestures - How to Speak, Eat and Drink with the Russians

[@rwsmith29456]

This is really creative and she is cute as hell, not just her looks, her enthusiasm and mannerisms and the sense of humor gets across pretty good.

[@therevolution91]

rwsmith29456 Hot chick. ;-)))

[@rinatmusin5742]

Ну нахуя такой акцент делать намеренно, слух же режет даже русскому человеку.

[@coputnik]

Всё за-ради клюквы ;)

[@alee5240]

Rinat! ne bezbagoysja o russkom sluche...tataram dolzgno byit pofigu russkiy sluch....:-D

[@artmonikandr]

Вы думаете, лучше будет, когда будет недоанглийский?

[@vicmelepresupdilimanuaappl914]

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE RUSSIAN WORD THAKSIN? IT GOES LIKE PRIVYET THAKSIN I KNOW PRIVYET MEANS HI I DONT KNOW WHAT THE TAKSIN MEANS. CAN ANYONE HELP! THANKS

[@coputnik]

hmmm, where you've seen or heard it?

[@JellyIvans]

I'm Russian and this was totally ridiculous!!:D but I hated 2 things: 1) her fake (in my opinion) accent, that made my understanding of her speech really difficult; - too much "R" sound 2) TOO MUCH VODKA!! She puts it everywhere, why not leave this stereotype about Russians?? It is not topical problem anymore, fortunately

[@mech2920]

"It is not topical problem anymore, fortunately" ?? like for real?

[@JellyIvans]

Mech exactly

[@lisamarie4048]

obviously its tongue-in-cheek and light hearted fun, only an idiot would take it seriously

[@k9rambo31]

this is got to be entertainment. However, I love the Russian accent.

[@baddoggie101]

Are you seriously suggesting that the youth are veering from alcohol; are you saying the lifespan of males is increasing? I hope that is true.

[@DEMONACY177]

How did I get here

[@ct4074]

Thanks for the cultural lesson, and the laughs. Cute accent! :)

[@iamlost2]

It's a fake Russian accent

[@SharimarSaggiash]

Hi, I'm learning Russian accent, and gestures to act a monologue, and I chose to create the character as a Russian lady..this was very helpful and I loved it!!!! The guy at the end rapping with his mouth OMG!! loved it and also the ending with the hat!! hahahahaha THANK YOU!

[@benthead]

Thank you so much. I want to learn so much about Russia. Please continue with these videos!

[@conniezabarovskaya1620]

Did anyone guess what the 3-finger gesture means? If I remember the movie correctly it meant that Shurik (the name of the character) had some vodka hidden and wanted to share it with the other two. Is that correct?

[@thisisbearsandvodka]

that is pretty much the gist of it! great job:)

[@sinichkin1]

+Connie Zabarovskaya it's a gesture which means : let's arrange a drink for 3 of us

[@therevolution91]

Connie Zabarovskaya It is originally a freemason sign. (hidden hand --> Trotsky and everyone else) But to understand what it means, you have to ask them. I am getting roasted now by trolls.

[@noobtuber9625]

you are trying too on that thick Russian accent.

[@jackcarter6629]

What's the gesture for "I've got something to put in you."

[@sideswipe147]

The handshake girl is glasses is GORGEOUS!

[@RaissaHeidi]

Hahahaha how come I hadn't liked this video yet? I've already watched to it 3 times and never realized! Love it!

[@terrafirma91]

Most interesting is the fact that there is little difference between Russians, and those of us who live in North America. I must say that the Russian alphabet appears to be a bit complicated, though.

[@kazm1936]

the alphabet isn't very hard. The grammar though.

[@terrafirma91]

kazm1936 The grammar is very important. They probably place the verb in different locations within a sentence, like many other languages. It seems like a lot of Y sounds in the language, too.

[@kazm1936]

terrafirma91 The russian y is pronounced like the English oo if that's what you mean. The hardest thing about the grammar is the fact that there are lots of exceptions that are hard/impossible to explain that you just have to accept. For example if you would say 2 cows in Russian you would use the genitive form singular, if you say 5 cows you use the genitive plural, even if the word aren't really used as a genitive in the sentence. This kind of stuff makes it hard because often you just have to learn things by hearth and you can't use common sense. The place of the verbs aren't that different from where they are in English. That's probably one of the easier parts of their grammar.

[@terrafirma91]

kazm1936 Russian seems to be a language that is best learned by complete immersion, being around Russian speakers for a long period of time. That is if they don't speak too fast.

[@kazm1936]

terrafirma91 Yep, I am learning Russian in the Netherlands atm, it's hard cause I can't speak it with anyone.

[@vladislavfeldman5165]

The sign means I'am looking for partners to buy vodka. The amount of fingers means how many more drinkers are required. Usually a group is three drinkers for 2 500ml bottles. The skit shows the guy showing 3 fingers, which is either a joke or he is looking for a large group.

[@ALLSTARDECOURO2]

are u russian comrade?

[@Schnitzi-1]

Norwegians.. true story, I laughed hard.

[@rwsmith29456]

+Andreas Mikael Schoenfeldt That was hilarious.

[@kellyinawheeliebin]

This video brought me so much joy. I hope that you are all safe and well ❤

[@syrioforel1304]

stand strong russia, your our last hope

[@BigAltyn]

it is good that at least someone understands

[@bpanhkpnkmyp1530]

That is so funny, my wife is Russian Latvian and she was even laughing with me. Of course I am American and we live in America, but at the same time I see those same gestures with my father in law when we are out at restaurants, Very funny and good humor to the young lady that did this post. I look forward to laughing more in the future when we watch this again.

[@Ash-xd1zn]

I don't get why there are so many dislikes. This was hilarious!!! First video I've seen of her. Subscribed and in love ;D

[@waleeedoxx9]

I just love the way russian people use the english language, I'm practising on it already... please make more videos! :D

[@rupertthewonderdog9134]

Wonderful video! I laughed a lot!

[@bonniemultik]

This is funny, informative and well edited. Keep on posting:)))

[@ekaterinakurlygina-queiroz580]

Loved it! Super funny, well done girl! Do more

[@ricardocobhc8175]

"In Soviet Russia...the waiter is always right" hahahahha

[@spikeduval]

very enjoying and informative we crave to know more about Russian ways and culture, thanks for posting

[@michaelparker6868]

Awesome! Had great fun. Did you make other videos?

[@vanessalheureux3573]

When that guy was making his sounds at the end, I swear I felt the spit flying at me.

[@VernonWDaley]

I like the humor in this video! I am just beginning to learn Russian, and this video helps me understand more of the culture.

[@oiaro]

Прикольно, спасибо! С юмором девчоночка рассказала, и акцент сделала классный!

[@SantaNMS]

This was awesome!! Funny too!!

[@heyolast4464]

We do NOT shake hand in any possible situations! And we don't hug people so easily, even close friends.

[@davidherron-steeger4305]

I like Bears and Vodka .. And love Irina Vodka! What happened to them? No new videos in about 3 years.

[@TheSabertooth16]

I loved the way you presented your video, it was informative, and I really enjoyed it greatly. It is always fascinating to learn about other cultures, by the way, I loved your accent too. Don't change a thing! Besides you are very easy on the eyes, you are such a beautiful woman, you could do no wrong in my book! Yzumitelno!, uvidimsia, dasvidania - Menia zavut Leo!

[@AndrewDW44]

That Accent! that Hair Cut! I'm in love!

[@thisisbearsandvodka]

it is a quote from a Soviet movie from the 50s. It means “2 100ml portions of vodka in one glass”. Enjoy!

[@cthomaville]

I love her accent!! Could that last gesture mean something like telling a secret?

[@DontstayfallenVM]

You go with the beat boxing!!!! Yeeaaah!

[@jasmineagbay]

Should I say, VERY NICE!!!

[@carlconklin5536]

Russian gestures... lift Vodka bottle to mouth, light cigarette, lift Vodka bottle to fill glass with Vodka, lift Glass of Vodka to mouth, light cigarette, drop Vodka bottle, pick up Vodka bottle to mouth and repeat for the rest of your life! Looooove your accent!

[@daggerthree]

love the examples from the friends.

[@PARTHGUPTA-nr4wl]

Beautiful. I like your eye liner (Kajal), the way you've used it around your eyes And obviously your Russian accent. I don't know, if I can visit the country and may be meet you and your people. Till then, all the best with your life.

[@angrybird7962]

Oh yeah!!! She's waiting for you on her sofa with her legs opened!

[@UnskilledGod]

You startled me at the beginning.

[@alexandramontes3944]

Just love your accent!

[@joeschmoe9955]

I like how she rolls her R's. I could never do that, it sounds more like a belch.

[@JosieOuiri]

You are gorgeous and I love that accent, forced or not. I think it's lovely.

[@TheGoretz]

It is not so forced accent, actually as i remember from Soviet time school this is natural way for Russians to speak English, but of course she is overdoing it. And in 21-st century they kinda learned to speak more properly lol

[@CriticalBasterd]

Hey, movie makers! That's how the real Russian accent sounds! )))

[@artyompavlov7106]

Nope, It is not./

[@slaughtergang518]

shes adorable

[@tylericce6785]

"Don't pour your vodka on the ground?" i have been doing it wrong my whole life then

[@Bidmartinlo]

The waiter doesn't notice you are asking for the check? Just leave, and never come back!

[@IWH8023]

It means "I have something for you".

[@robertg8680]

Basic human body language for the most part. The only gestures I know that may have greatly different interpretations from culture to culture are things like thumbs up, A-OK, index finger pointing up...

[@jeepster4u2003]

She's very cute!

[@fish_toes]

This was very helpful! Most of my ancestors on my mother's side were Russian, and I want to get to know of them better :3

[@michaelovitch]

One day i saw a guy who torn apart the leg of an other guy in a crappy moscovite bar. He removed a rubber plug from the inside of the leg and said "COCAINUM" Then he punched few thugs who were trying to escape from him. Quite weird russian gestures in my opinion.

[@OlegStepanovViking]

Hooligany!

[@michaelovitch]

Oleg Stepanov : ) I think one was a cop ,i don't remember exactly i was drunk, a bit, and i'm a dog ,so i was quite low under a table.

[@ZeeKtx]

michaelovitch www.imdb.com/title/tt0095963/

[@michaelovitch]

ZeeKtx Hehehe we have a winner ! You must be in your late 25's at least right ?

[@michaelovitch]

Oleg Stepanov Good one ! I didn't realized you found from wich movie it was because i didn't saw it in the original version.

[@helenam.1077]

Thats weird, brazilians also do those gestures. Except that you don't need to know someone to give them kisses on the checks, you can do this the first time you met that person.

[@sammcdee]

очень хоррроший рррруский акцент!! x'D

[@Ellie-cc5ww]

+Sam-Dee хаха

[@faerymount]

So what does it mean? The three-finger gesture at the end.

[@Tucknrollgrampa]

Thanks Elen Page!

[@KountryKonnect]

Hahaha.. very entertaining! :) Thumbs up!

[@TheLoyalOfficer]

Aside from the "want a drink?" gesture, we do the same things here in America.

[@michaelc.4321]

Did you know the Tetris theme is based off the Russian song коробейники, or is that purposeful

[@HikariDansu]

All the gestures other than eating are common gestures. We do majority in Australia too :)

[@tigermunky]

As an expat living in Moscow, I spend most of my life having babushki shake their fingers at me. The fact that I am foreign and exist on their glorious Russian soil and breathe their beautiful Russian air (except near Leninsky Prospekt during rush hour when the air isn't so beautiful) is enough to make them angry. But that's just babushki. Everyone else is cool.

[@xsplitgames4138]

Ahaha. Where are you from?

[@tigermunky]

The UK. I'm not even American, so I'm surely not top of their hate list, which features Americans and Germans.

[@xsplitgames4138]

tigermunky to be honest some babushki hate everything around and not only Russian babushki. :) So your nationality is no problem at all in this situation.

[@angrybird7962]

Who's an expat?. You're a fucking immigrant like the rest of the people who move to another country. I hated that word is so fucking racist... Only white people abroad are expats and the rest of the people abroad are immigrants. Fuck you British grandmother with a Russian vodka bottle. :)

[@tigermunky]

A fair point. But a shame you had to express it in such a belligerent manner.

[@RaikenXion]

Shes pretty, nice eyes

[@OverByDestruction666]

Hahahaha great video congratulations!!! My friends

[@mmmelissania]

thank you that was terrific

[@PbFoot]

you forgot figu ;) also a very important gesture in russia.

[@НикитаПобедович]

did she say my name is irina vodka in the beginning or am i wrong

[@RobbyJHope]

Most of my coworkers are Russian, I think I'll use the "come hither" gesture tomorrow towards my boss.

[@JoeZip25]

MORE STUFF!!! Where Are You??? You're So Dang Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mekosilvar]

is that accent she speaking in even real..it's such the classic Russian accent

[@iamlost2]

What gesture to use when someone is speaking with an exaggerated "Russian" accent? x

[@Dan0101010101010]

The Russians they keep making this V gesture at me with their fingers, im not sure I understand their dialect?

[@DillSulix]

Omg in france it is exactly the same; only 2 diferences : the thing to say "wanna drink?" and the weird movement that i dont know what it mean

[@Mira-en9sv]

The accent is magnified tenfold. I am not sure whether this is meant to be cute or funny to Western ears. I am an emigre having lived among many native Russian speakers. There are various accents some strong but this young woman looks intelligent ..its a mistake to mock your people

[@ghayath2011]

I love VODKA

[@BackSeatHump]

The gesture means .... "let's go" or "hurry"?

[@horsethehorsehorsething8645]

it's a bit similar to french! :'D i love your video!

[@Ereshkigal616]

you had me at "like Putin and his Siberian Tigers" lolol

[@jethro035181]

she needs to do a video on proper russian cursing and swearing ...that forms at least half of any conversation in russian and it's always missing from university courses

[@Mega7thsun]

oh my ears man where did you pick such accent

[@garyyoung2645]

Spoke with a lot of Russian and Ukrainian people on skype, never heard that accent before. Recognised 2 Russian films from the clips - Ivan Vasilovich changes Profession (Иван Василович меняет профессий) and Gals (Девчата), both Russian classics. Nice to know about the gestures.

[@invadertroll9354]

I already was doing these things.. I'M PREPARED 😂😂

[@eddypapak]

Excellent Russian accent!

[@vladmiagkikh2529]

I found this fucking hilarious

[@rebeccazhu7348]

OMG this is so cute

[@amoltov496]

Ну что тут сказать? MY ИAME IS IVAИ. I DЯINK VODKA WITH MY COMЯADES. MY COMЯADE BEAЯ IS FINE. DO SVIDANIA.

[@cooliofoolio8872]

You Know What's Funny is That Most Russian Women Don't Drink OR Smoke But I'm Not Quite Sure If They Are Being Honest And Truthful With Themselves.

[@aengliscyeoman3785]

Отличный клип! Спасибо за этот. Я увидел как россияни делали эти жесты рук в то время как я в Москве был. Очень смешно! А теперь, только мою водку надо найти...

[@SirPetterTheFirst]

I thought the stereotypes were just there for memes, Fucking Hard Bass start playing, made my day

[@Yes.Im.Mr.Anderson]

Половину же невозможно понять вовсе, но очень забавно.

[@doright6461]

Irena Vodka, did your ancestor invent it? What a name 8-) I have pulled down plenty when I was a little younger.

[@Behold-the-Florist]

That accent is class! :P

[@ollieoreoo]

I'm not Russian but this made me laugh xD nice job

[@raijin6918]

This seriously made my head hurt.

[@raijin6918]

***** More like I felt allot of this lacked the level of professionalism I am used to, the intro nearly made me dizzy and it was very generic looking.

[@jiptip4218]

when do you come to Holland?

[@tohaheavyindustries6649]

хипстеры, дабстеп, клюква. 0/10

[@GigihPrakasa]

this video make me laugh out loud.. its really a russian with heavy accent speak in english?

[@JellyIvans]

I'm sure only those who Russians who didn't learn much English, have such accent:)

[@TheRobilottas]

It hurt my ears... and I'm Russian living in USA for the last 12 years. I NEVER EVER had such accent! It's rather a stereotypical accent Hollywood uses for their movies to portray Russians.

[@GigihPrakasa]

izvinite.. im learning russki yazik now eventhough the elementary level.. the way she prounounce make me confuse is really russian speak that way? with heavy R accent and heavy tone too? thanky you guys enlighting me

[@JellyIvans]

Gigih Prakasa heavy tone and heavy R yes, but in RUSSIAN language, not English

[@borogoro9991]

mazafucka obviously.. what did you think.. russians fucking fake their own fucking accents??

[@SFxTAGG3]

That accent, while sometimes hard to understand for my stupid American brain, is also very cute haha.

[@mclovinbebe8221]

All the legendary movies on this video:) i had a tour to my childhood thanks U
