Russian Podcast #2: Names in Russia

[@itwasabrightcolddayinapril]

Спасибо, Лина! Please keep on doing these podcasts; I really enjoy listening to your content completely in Russian.

[@LinasLessons]

Thank you! Will do!

[@stephenpeters4393]

The good thing is even if I don't understand the whole video I still spend time watching her pretty facial expressions. I don't need subtitles. Спасибо за интересный урок. ❤

[@LinasLessons]

Thanks for watching then 😁☺️

[@EmilioAt77]

Даже я сам не могу поверить, что только с русскими субтитрами я смог всё понять! Я так рад 😅😁 Спасибо огромное, Лина))

[@LinasLessons]

Это отлично!

[@amarsalem5671]

Спасибо за урок Лина !!! Это очень интересное видео. Мне нравится русская культура и в этом видео я могу слушать и читать русский язык.

[@LinasLessons]

Я рада это слышать 😉

[@Habideers]

I learned something new today thanks to this! Please keep making podcasts. (Even though I couldn't understand the most of it 😅)

[@LinasLessons]

Thank you! Will do! 😊

[@tamerikaya]

I learned so much

[@maxberdy8692]

Хорошо Лина 😊

Thank you Линочка.

[@LinasLessons]

It’s my pleasure ☺️

@@LinasLessons Isn’t it strange? The Russian word for “stop” is “Oстановка”… “Oстановка” has the same first 4 letters as “Octagon”. An “Octagon” in English is a shape that has 8 sides. Our “Stop signs” are shaped like “Octagons”. AI says that it’s just a coincidence, but it admits that there’s no specific evidence to support that assertion. These type of things fascinate me about linguistics.

Классно😊😊😊

[@LinasLessons]

Спасибо ☺️

[@southj89]

I like this form of video, would like to have more comprehensible input)

[@hideakiyamamoto8272]

Спасибо за интересный урок! Я понимаю, что использование имени плюс отчества подобно использованию полного имени на английском языке.

[@LinasLessons]

Да! Спасибо за просмотр и комментарий!

[@SoziMiror]

[@عليعلي-ق4ح6ص]

[@LinasLessons]

It’s my pleasure ☺️ Yes, it makes no sense haha

I have a few things to add to the topic. 1) The ending of a surname isn't the best way to describe its origins. For example, surnames like Yusupov or Levin sound like Russian surnames, but it is very unusual to ethically Russian person to have it (these surnames are respectively Tatar and Jewish) 2) You didn't mention that most of our family names are changing in case if the person is female. For example, my last name is Tretyakov, but my sister's one is Tretyakova (my mom haven't changed her family name after marrying my dad, so I'm using my sister as an example). But where's a rule, there is always an exception. Russian family names ending with -ykh, such as Chenykh or Sizykh, cannot be changed. 3) Some of Russian belittling names can belong to both men and women. Like Zhenya (Yevgeny/Yevgenia) or Sasha (Aleksandr/Aleksandra). 4) There are three names in Russian language that have different forms: Ilya, Foma and Kuzma (though the last two are extremely rare). Male patronyms formed from those names end with -ich, and female ones - with -nishna. So it would sound like Ilyich/Ilyinishna.

Красотка 🌹!

[@naturelovers108]

Я первый зритель этого видео

[@LinasLessons]

Отлично! 🤩

[@alancosta8633]

After 2 and a half years I started to understand russian without legends... Not even greek took me that time maybe because unlike greek my motivation for russian isn't the best: job

[@LinasLessons]

That’s also cool!

[@omidash267]

What happens to отчество when a mother is not sure of baby's father first name? 🤔

[@LinasLessons]

She give’s a child her dad’s name as patronymic or leave it blank. So some people actually have only surname and first name as their official name.

[@benduacowhite1522]

Why can’t we start with alphabets, that way we get accustomed to ascents and speak it gradually.

[@LinasLessons]

Because the point of my channel is slightly different. I focus on grammar and things that beginners should know after they learned how to read. You can find many other videos where teachers teach Russian alphabet 😊
