У неё? у её? when to add the н- in Russian (UPDATED)

Just when do we need to add н- before его, её, and их? Let's get comfortable with this subtle, but very important point. You'll learn how to say "he has" vs. "his brother has," and why the words "her" and "её" are tricky in both Russian and English.
This is an update of an earlier video, expanded to cover some exceptions, and with improved sound and graphics. For a more complete list of which words do (and don't) require н-, visit new.gramota.ru/....

Excellent as always, I especially love the new graphics! They really do help communicate without being distracting. Большое спасибо!

Спасибо, очень рад, что понравилось! On my tips4russian site I'll be adding many more videos over the summer with the newer sound & graphics. And exercises. :)

I was studying that genitive todat and could notice that tricky thing. So thanks for reading my mind 😁😍

[@johnradclyffehall]

спасибо 🙏 This was so clearly explained - it really helped.

I thought Russian was very easy until I started learning grammar 😭 But thank you very much, Duolingo doesn't teach us all of this, its very helpful!

Пожалуйста - привет из Калифорнии! (из + родительный падеж, -ия > -ии) :)

@@russiangrammar Ok, I'll remember that.

[@user-ll4zm2bz2s]

Thank you for these videos, they're very helpful! Please consider using dark text with a white background. The text would be easier to read.

[@russiangrammar]

I've given this some thought - I agree that paragraphs of text are easier to read with dark text on white. On the other hand, most of my text doesn't go beyond individual examples, and I often use color to highlight certain words, or word endings; and those small bits of text have greater contrast when using teal or orange etc. on a black background. I might try a sample file with dark text on a light background and gather some feedback. Thanks for your comment! :)

[@timssprachbox]

My opinion: Dark background is perfect in this context. ✨👍🏻

Hey can you do a video on своей своего своих etc when to use them as oppose to regular pronouns and how to remember them.

[@paganinyyo]

У нас есть лучший учитель Русского языка (вы), но, у их не так хороший). Спасибо большое за полесный урок.

[@russiangrammar]

Спасибо, Карлос! Не забудьте: '...но у них не такой хороший.' - we want the н- after у when их is used as a pronoun; it's really like 'them'/'ellos' here, not 'their/su' (see 4:52 in the video). Ещё примеры: У них хороший преподаватель = They have ('by them there is') a good teacher. Преподаватель у них замечательный = Their teacher ('teacher by them') is wonderful. У их преподавателя старые книги = Their teacher has old books. :)

[@paganinyyo]

You see? you are the best sir. Thanks for going the extra mile showing us how to improve our understanding. This double-check has been even more useful for me. Just one thing, in Spanish the equivalent personal pronoun to 'ellos = they', so that we "do the genitive" as in English 'ellos tienen = they have (not them have)'.
