Years in Russian

An overview of how to talk about years in Russian: how to name a year, and how to say when something happened 'in' a given year.
We'll cover when you need cardinal numbers like 'twelve' or 'ninety,' when you need ordinals like 'twelfth' and 'ninetieth,' and a few tricky points of some ordinal numbers.

Wonderful pronunciation! I first thought that the speaker is Russian.

[@beomkyu0730]

An outstanding and marvellous channel. This channel has helped me a lot, especially distinguishing the soft and hard sounds. Very sad that it is not getting enough views and subscribers.

[@lucasvasquez2438]

I really enjoyed the video! Thanks for explaining the subject and making it straight forward.

[@mechanarwhal7830]

This is so helpful! Большое спасибо!

[@user-bh3wz2sc9e]

Как много людей учит русский. Здорово.

[@manuelcondor2469]

Clear, thanks to these videos I started to love Russian grammar.

[@russiangrammar]

Thanks! It can certainly be challenging, but it's worth it to get to know an instrument of meaning that can be so subtle and expressive, while being so different from one's native language. )

[@beomkyu0730]

I also find you have chosen very important three years in modern Russian History. Very considerate choice. 1917 - Russian Revolution 1945 - Victory of WW2 1991 - The fall of USSR

Love the birds in the background @ 0:50. 🙂

[@russiangrammar]

That brought back memories! (We don't have birds like that where I live now.)

[@araujohs]

Прекрасно! Этот видео мне помогло решить домашнее задание! Спасибо большое! Please post more of your cristal clear explanations. Всего хорошего :)

[@russiangrammar]

Hélio, я очень рад, что видео Вам помогло. Удачи! :)

[@lapincoanga9243]

excellent

[@dylanheard7384]

Great video! I'm learning Russian myself and was wondering if you could post a video showing the difference between тоже и ещё. I'm confused as to which one to use as they both mean "also/too".

[@dylanheard7384]

***** Cheers! Also, some nouns use "на" instead of "в" to mean "in". I know there are a few basic rules to learn such as the compass points, events and outdoor places take "на", but are there any other rules or is there anything I should be aware of?

[@mcamac1]

LOL I got that reference! Finally :) Чебурашка!!!!

[@ryori4176]

Nice...

[@lapincoanga9243]

отличный хороший

[@Nanakpanthi]

Ochin Horosho.

[@hansel1jensen]

4:44 There is a little distorsion in тысячи pronunciation. Otherwise, congratulations! This is a very good lesson of Russian language.

[@russiangrammar]

In quick speech you'll often hear a reduced or abbreviated pronunciation of numbers, so тысяча can sound like тыщ, тыща, or тыщи. See this video for more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rIh5aed6ppis0 - you can hear examples of тыcяча at about the 3:53 mark. :)

I’m born in 2010 :) Я в 2010 год я не так знаю русская хорошо.

[@russiangrammar]

.. в две тысячи десятом году. Может быть вы не так хорошо знаете русский язык, но ничего, ты ещё молодая! )

[@user-my8em5xi1t]

Случайный русский комментарий. Я не соглашусь с автором в том, что, при быстром произношении, "девятьсот" произносится как "дитсот". Я больше склоняюсь к варианту "диитсот", так как хоть "вя" и сокращается, но из слова не пропадает.

[@russiangrammar]

+Владислав Кудряшов Возможны варианты, конечно, в зависимости от контекста и говорящего - спасибо за комментарий. Vladislav points out that he's inclined to pronounce девятьсот as диитсот with a slightly longer и - for him the вя doesn't disappear completely. Thanks for the comment, Vladislav - it's worth keeping in mind that variation among individual speakers is always possible.

[@user-my8em5xi1t]

Russian grammar Конечно мой вариант это всего лишь моё субъективное восприятие моего произношения. Другие могут по-другому произносить.))

[@user-uz6tf2yj5o]

Владислав Кудряшов "вя" не читается??? В слове "девятьсот" произносится как "ви", и у автора отличное произношение

[@brianksmith148]

How do you expect anyone to learn when you say the Russian year so quickly? What a hassel just to say the year😢

[@russiangrammar]

No need to rush the process. Make sure you're comfortable with the basic numbers first, and ordinals, giving yourself time to practice them; then put them together, slowly at first, for years. You can do it! Also keep in mind you can abbreviate things in context, like в пятнадцатом году, and people will likely assume you mean 2015, not 1415. :)

[@JT-xj1pg]

At least give an example when the year ends in 6

[@russiangrammar]

Пожалуйста! в тысяча девятьсот пятьдесят шесто́м году = in 1956; в две тысячи шесто́м году = in 2006. Remember that шесто́й has end stress, like седьмо́й and восьмо́й.

[@JT-xj1pg]

@@russiangrammar thanks I was asking because I was born in 1986 😆
