Talking about Your Family | Russian Language

[@1337karm]

The second I make money I’m enrolling in this course. I’m trying to learn Russian by myself, and I’ll probably die before I can read Dostoyevsky.

[@SpankyHam]

It's funny that almost every one of these words has one or two or even more diminutives form.

[@KirraFL]

father- папа mother- мама son-сын daughter- дочь grandmother-бабушка grandfather-дедушка grandson-внук granddaughter-внучка это самое основное, что может быть. так же есть - aunt-тетя uncle-дядя nephew- племянник niece- племянница Если вы хотите з сказать "I live with my grandmother" нужно поставить "БАБУШКА" в падеж. я живу С КЕМ? ЧЕМ? С БАБУШКОЙ. КЕМ/ЧЕМ?- вопросы творительного падежа. значит будет окончание с бабушкОЙ. (Я живу с бабушкой)

Probably American viewers will be interested to know that in Russian families children almost never refer to their parents by name. This is considered disrespectful.

[@ЭйвейлАлександр]

Привет! Александр! Меня тоже зовут Александр ххххх

[@Soytinza]

Who calls their parents by their names? Sounds weird unless you don't like them

[@gabrielaherrera9937]

I thought this was like that in all over the world, even as adults here (Chile) we don’t refer to our parents by their names because it’s disrespectful

[@AlexFG24]

@@ЭйвейлАлександр Привет тёзка! Hello namesake! :)

[@gabrielcunha2260]

I think nobody in the world call their parents by their names. But in Brazil it's not disrespectful, it's just strange, but if anyone would ask me what is my parents names, I would answer that normaly

[@Manuel-gu9ls]

Thanks fedor the phrases and importantly the family addresses can prove solidly useful in Russian

Yo Y’all, this Guy is Great ! Give him a BIG thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼♥️

[@jerrylopez5979]

Thank you. In Spanish we have brother cousin and sister cousin too

[@wlsterling]

One of the words relating to family that I had to look up for a Russian essay about family was for "ancestors", which is предки; for example, у меня есть русские предки.

[@SpankyHam]

В России редко используют, но иногда всё-таки используют такие формы : двоюродный брат - кузен , двоюродная сестра - кузина.

[@josc]

Don’t forget to add the soft sign in семья guys... If you say «у меня большая семя» things can get interesting 😂

[@DaChovies]

What does it mean?

[@SpankyHam]

@@DaChovies у меня большое семя - I have a big seed/My seed is big.

Is there a reason I can't pull up the Russian English transcribed version of this video?

[@icejumperke]

I’d say that мама is mom, папа is dad. While мать is mother, and отец is father.

[@SpankyHam]

мамочка is mommy , папочка is daddy

[@icejumperke]

@@SpankyHam Yes, momMY & dadDY, mom & dad would be мама и папа, I think :)

[@jolevangelista]

You are correct Wezz. Mommy and Daddy would be closer to мамуля и папуля or мамочка и папочка

[@bhami]

In all fairness, most Americans don't even know the English-language terms for more distant relatives, such as first-second-third... cousin once-twice-three times... removed. Does Russian have similar terms for those extended relations, e.g. the way we have great-great-great... for more distant aunts, uncles, and grandparents? My hobby is genealogy, so this is an area of particular interest to me.

[@juliab3326]

I can't answer your question but usually Russians don't "distance" themselves from relatives. They call anyone "uncle", "aunt" etc. Specific words probably exist but they're rarely used.

[@tiredtrips]

Thanks,Could you tell us when and why do you pronounce the " v" sound at the beginning as " f" sound?

[@SpankyHam]

with unvoiced consonants В pronounced almost as Ф всегда вторник etc

[@tiredtrips]

[@ahmedayman7475]

I have a question ?...how can I say take care of yourself ? to be this Kindly or something like that

[@SpankyHam]

take care of yourself - позаботься о себе reflexive verbs pair заботиться (imperfective form/aspect)-позаботиться (perfective form/aspect) is formed from the word "забота" - "care"

[@ahmedayman7475]

@@SpankyHam thank you )this is the last question what’s the difference between Береги себя и позаботится о себе ??
