3 meanings: 1. perfect timing/coincidence. 2. things fitting perfectly (physical things/clothes). 3. in actuality/precisely this (that thing your saying it's what I'm referring to).

[@ferruccio4531]

3 I would also say: as a matter of fact

[@katitadeb]

Basically is one only meaning if you think about it: "precisely" or "just" which can be used in 3 different ways, but the meaning is basically the same in every situation.

[@awildsiscoappears1054]

I've been learning Russian in the past few weeks, and I gotta say, it's such a conceptual language, no matter what your native language is (mine's European Portuguese), if you don't get into that "Russian mentality" it's really hard to abide by "grammar rules"/"conversational rules" which, to me, seem to be almost inexistent; you have to get a real feel for the language before you know it. Edit: как раз seems to be a lot like our "por acaso" in all contexts, which is also a really commonly spoken Portuguese expression (literally translated: by chance)

[@musckowit]

on the contrary, it is not by chance "как раз". Treat it as the same cycles, "как" - matching," раз " one clock cycle. Accordingly," как раз " something coincided as one cycle coincides with another. This is probably why they use something similar and appropriate to Express it. Think with images, not logic.

Simply put, “как раз” is a coincidence of something with something. A small excursion into etymology: "Раз" is a synonym for the word "один" (one). Thus, "как раз" is somewhat similar to the phrase "one to one"

Привет, Could you please explain why he writes л as an upside down V? I have Russian keyboard but I couldn't find that letter. Why is it like that?

[@dissforlife]

@@justaperson863 from what I see it is just another design for the letter. Similar to how in English, the capital I/i can be written with or without the horizonal lines on top and bottom, or how the lowercase a can be written how it appears in this comment, or with just a circle and a vertical line to the right.

[@TeutonicEmperor1198]

@@justaperson863 The letter "Л" derives from the Greek letter "Λ" and the letter "Д" derives from the Greek letter "Δ"! The reason the Cyrillic letters look different from their ancenstral Greek ones is because during the Christianisation of the Slavic people the Greek manuscripts were stylised in a more calligraphic way that resembled the modern Cyrillic! The modern Greeks abandoned that style while the users of the Cyrillic alphabets still use it!

Actually, I get it 💯% I like your way of giving an example. It's very clear to me. Thanks for your free teachings

[@osamatuma9488]

Nice explanation, thanks Fedor, it seems to me like "as it happens" would be a good equivalent

[@epicepidemic7131]

I was trying to find one English word that connects all of these meanings. I suppose we have similar (not как раз--but similar!) ways to use "just." These translations are not как раз, but... I JUST finished work! Oh--JUST as I arrive! That sweater fits you, JUST right! Thanks. It's JUST that... I don't like beer.... [after all you did to buy so many types of beer]. It's just that...she's the one I understand [even though you wanted me to say she's wrong].

[@ОлегЦарев-р8г]

When you use it often without a specific purpose in speech, it sounds like an excuse or "basically" (на самом деле)

[@rikvlasblom4272]

From the examples in the video, it seems to me that 'как раз' in general refers to "fitting, real, perfect, truthful, right, correct, etc." as an opinion. It fits, or does not fit the situation for a person. 1. How timely fitting (referring to how "the situation" comes together in a timely fashion). 2. How physically fitting (referring to how physically "the situation" comes together). 3. How truthfully fitting (referring to what is experienced to be correct or feels good, about "the situation").

I really like your videos. They are very helpful. Allow me to point out that we say "actually, I don't like beer" instead of "in actuality...I don't like beer". "In actuality" commonly means that "something is in the news".

Just curious, what exactly confuses you? Because i can think of only one problem with this word: in russian language we heve... erm... our objects "kind of" have sex. For example, both a knife and a fork would be "it" in english, but in russian a knife is "he" and a fork is "she". Eng: Where is the knife? - IT is on the table. - And where is the fork? - IT is in the sink. Rus: Где нож? - ОН на столе. - А где вилка? - ОНА в раковине.

@@rose563msp6 It's exactly what I said to you. Many things that English speakers call "it" would be "он" or "она" in Russian. You will need to understand that and remember sex of objects.

They are interchangeable, but only when it comes to timing. For example: - When was the last time you spoke with Tom? - Oh, he just called. You can translate last sentence as "Он КАК РАЗ звонил" or "Он ТОЛЬКО ЧТО звонил". Or "The bus has just left" - "Автобус ТОЛЬКО ЧТО уехал" or "Автобус КАК РАЗ уехал".

They are different. Как раз in the 3rd example is kinda of a confirmation of the info that you have just heard and you want to emphasize it.
