  • 3 kings

    ?

  • Most Russians are Orthodox and the Orthodox Christmas is in January.

  • А по русски уже тяжелее, да? ))

  • You put on your ushanka, not your hat

  • Ya Oahu tabu lol joking who knows what that means

  • It's the same way like in serbia, the orthodox calendar is 2 week behind the one of christians. sorry for bad english :/

  • russian language is hard, but you know what, bring it on

  • Because the majority of Russian Christians are part of an Orthodox church (mainly Russian Orthodox, but there are other Orthodox churches such as Ukrainian and Coptic) and Orthodox Christians use the Older Julian Calander which places Christmas in Early January

  • thx for the lesson.

  • once I learned the Russian language, but I admit that I still remember just like to say I love you or to ask about his father's name;)

  • hahaha that sounded quite like english 2 me dang

  • Because the Russian Church still refers to the Julian calendar that they used to have before.

  • You're not wearing a jacket it's a coat.. just saying

  • If in this video you're at a beach in Russia, then why is there either a Mexican or Italian flag flying in the background? You have some explaining to do ...

  • teacher what y gonna give me today? oo y ask in video before, i remenber. gonna think about. But, suggest something? what y think?

  • Russian Orthodox church says that Jesus was born later.

  • @robshimer Not true !

    They also celebrate Christmas on 25 December , but they still use the Julian calendar .

    See some of my previous comments for more information .

  • "Ahktober" or "Ohktober"? Long "a", as in English "father" or long "o", as in English "oak"?

  • @theBaron0530 In Russian words the "O" and "A" in unstressed syllables are normally pronounced like "U" in "SUN" as is the case with "O" in Октябр/Oktyabr and Товарищ/Tovarish(ch).

    The "two weeks behind schedule" was an attempt on humor.

  • @ssesf - Spasebo! I speak, read and write German as well as English, plus French and a little Latin. It's interesting to me how Russian pronunciation varies from pronunciation in the other Indo-European languages (recognizing that we English speakers pronounce things a little differently from the Continental languages, too).

  • @theBaron0530

    more like the last "a" in "panda"

    And it's AhkTYAbr, like the Tia in Tiananmen Square :)

  • @theBaron0530 Октябер translit is Oktyaber father is отец otyets somehow I may have mis spelled simple phonetic word? "O" kinda makes "aw" or "ow" sound "ВОДКА" (VODKA) pronounced "vowdka".

    Москва, Россия translit, Moskva, Rossiya I.E. (Mowskva)

  • @hotforwords What is the coldest winter you have ever experienced in Russia Ms Marina?

  • "Why do Russians celebrate Christmas in January?"

    Decades of communist rule has taught them to be behind schedule - in this case two weeks! Old habits are hard to break.

  • @ssesf --Sorry, Tovarich, but it has nothing to do with Communism, and everything to do with the fact that the Orthodox Russians rejected the calendar reforms in the 18th century, when the rest of Europe adopted the Gregorian calendar.

  • @ssesf No orthodox cristians have Christmas on 6th january. In fact, Jesus was born in spring.

  • what's your job marina ?

  • Thumbs Up if u will see the Tits

  • eastern orthodox church

    In the 2 short clear videos , Dr. Chris Impey of the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory , explains the Julian calendar ('Julian Calendar') , and the Gregorian and a Decimal calendar ('Modern Calendar') .

    My vote goes to the "rational" Decimal calendar !

  • She used to be most viewed every day, what happened ?

  • realmente apredi muito.

  • Marina anywhere and everywhere want to increase her popularity and want to be more famous. Sorry, but not anybody and everybody like this kind of woman at real.

  • sry but are your boobs a little bit smaller now? and pls can you explain the word hot? i dont know why but pls explain it^^

  • It's celebrated in January because that is where it falls on the gregorian calendar in relation to the Julian calendar we follow

  • because of orthodoxy

  • Russians celebrate Christmas in January because Epiffany (however it should be spelt) is traditionally on January the 6th and Jesus got his presents then.

  • @THINKER43 "Russians celebrate Christmas in January because Epiffany"

    Wrong . The correct answer is that the Russian Orthodox churche still uses the Julian calendar :

    25-Dec Julian = 07-Jan Gregorian : Christmas

    06-Jan Julian = 19-Jan Gregorian : Three Kings Day / Epiphany / Theophany

  • @AthenaAtDelphi This is correct, although the Russians use Jewish logic too often

  • @standrze "Russians use Jewish logic too often"

    Don't know about that , but still using the outdated Julian calendar is causing all the date problems .

  • @AthenaAtDelphi Doesn't even matter, they give presents on New Years anyway, which is like their Christmas.... Christmas is an american invention anyway, no one celebrates it.

  • My Homework Submission: Russia marks feasts using the older Julian Calander; December 25th on the Julian calendar currently corresponds to January 7th on the Internationally-used Gregorian calendar. Hence.. /// Anyway Marina, tho obviously it is still perhaps a bit early..may you and your countrymen enjoy a pleasant 20th Anniversary of Russian Independence Day (Which falls on Dec. 25th of our Gregorian calander.

  • i liked the part where i switched to pornhub.com :D

    joking, great video ;)

  • How do you say "hi, how's it going" in Russian?

  • @norm1955

    smth like: "Привет, как дела?" => priv*et, khak del*a?

  • uhhh dumb question.... christmas? russians celebrate three kings day....... and all other jewish holidays. Also, the Russian language is not similar to Polish, it comes from the Polish language.

  • @standrze "russians celebrate three kings day"

    Not true . Read some of the previous comments .

  • @AthenaAtDelphi yes, they do celebrate three kings day, like serbians because they are orthodox christians. i dont know what kind of communist traditions they used to have for example in my home country they used to celebrate "name" days instead of birthdays. you could also bribe teachers with vodka... the good old days as they say.

  • @standrze Sorry for being unclear . I thought your answer to Marina's question "Why do Russians celebrate Christmas in January ?" was that Russians do not celebrate Christmas in January , but Three Kings Day instead .

    I know they celebrate TKD ('Theophany of Christ') . Not in early January (Gregorian) , but on 19 January (= 6 January Julian) .

  • @AthenaAtDelphi wikipedia has the answer: Epifania nazywane jest potocznie świętem Trzech Króli

    Epiphany is commonly call by name "feast of three kings", basically translation error,

  • it is believed this is when the magi reached Jesus with their gifts.

  • i think because Christmas is not a national holiday so there for its forbidden so Russians would celebrate Christmas on the new year

  • Well those Russian months sound similar to our western ones,but the spelling looks Greek.Is Russian like Greek?

  • @norm1955 no Russian is nothing like Greek just some letters are similar,Russian language is similar to a lot of easter European countrys like Ukraine,Belarus,Croatia,Serbia­,Poland,Czech Republic,Albania...

  • Didn't payed attention to those words, I was too busy staring at those boobs.. Can you repeat please ?

  • little christmas

  • oh oh! it's cuz they follow the Julian calendar or something not the western sort of calendar :)

  • @SuperLizardBean Yep . Read some of the previous comments for an explanation .

    Do you live in the US actually? I dont...not sure I like to actually...some of the US mentality I dont like...superficial and materialistic :)

    But I love to travel there...been there 3 weeks ago :)

    Take care!!

  • @fun4dje "Do you live in the US actually?"

    She does , in LA . And she recently became an American citizen !

  • Marina , I like the greenish new look of your YT-channel . Nicely done !

    BTW did you do that yourself , or do you have a guy/girl who does that for you ?

  • And I just found your renewed website : hotforwords[dot]com .

    It looks much more professional , a real improvement ! Congratulations on that !

    Just one thing , the Bio-page says : "HotForWords, is a 29 year old Internet “sensation”." The "sensation" part is probably true , but the age isn't really right , is it ?

  • ..why ask US?

  • Dick-abr.

  • Does it have to do with being too hungover from drinking too much vodka??

  • i would like to know the origin of the word PYRAMID thx

  • @hotforwords It MIGHT be 'carryover to the Gregorian calender while feasts remain in the Julian calendar' (@ddranger2003 said), but it also might have something to do The Annunciation (which is on Janurary 7, after the twelve days of Christmas), or maybe something else. I know you'll grant us the wisdom when the time is right, Sweet Philology! ... just like I know you mercifully forgive all the sickos who obscure your sweet teachings by calling attention to your carnal body.

  • @mythmanjay its becuase they don't celebrate the actual birth of christ, its like the jewish religion is this respect. Russians are orthodox catholics.

  • @mythmanjay "but it also might have something to do The Annunciation (...), or maybe something else."

    The difference between the Gregorian and the Julian calendar is the only reason .

    A quote from the 'Eastern Orthodox usage' section of the Wikipedia article 'Julian calendar' ( bit[dot]ly[slash]7Sy8Y1 ) :

    "The Orthodox Churches of Jerusalem, Russia (...) continue to use the Julian calendar, thus they celebrate the Nativity on 25 December Julian (which is 7 January Gregorian until 2100)."

  • @mythmanjay (1/2) "... about the Russians sticking to the Julian calendar. Maybe all of us should do that, celebrating days as they were originally celebrated."

    You don't understand . The Gregorian calender was introduced to do just that !

    The Julian year is approx. 11 minutes to long , so the Julian calendar takes too much time (11 minutes) to add another year , which means that the Julian calendar gets behind (approx. 7.8 days every 1K years) .

  • @mythmanjay (2/2) Eventually , in the very far future , Russians will be celebrating Christmas in the summer , while their Julian calendar will still say that it's 25 December !

    See : bit[dot]ly[slash]9HcnqL and bit[dot]ly[slash]dywyU6 .

  • I could learn faster if I could see your firm,supple breasts!!

  • 0:11 boobies! :D

  • The answer to why celebrate Xmas in January? This is the carryover from the Julian Calendar. Before World War I The Kingdom of Russia was following the Julian Calendar. After World War I they adopted the Gregorian Calendar, but they still used the Julian Calendar for observing feasts and religious holidays.

  • Julian calender, followed by eastern orthodox people, which most Russians are eastern orthodox, in the julian calendar, Christmas falls on January 7th.....i know this because i live in a predominantly Russian-american area, and we get it off from school, but i don't follow eastern orthodox, im Roman Catholic, and part Russian;)

  • o rly

  • I wonder why she makes sure her tits are visible in every single one of her videos.

  • @oddcatalyst so that way even if you are uninterested in the video content you still continue to watch and probably even hit the like button...or watch more of her videos :)

  • Because Russia uses the Julian calender as opposed to the Gregorian calender used in the west. This is because Russia, prior to the October Revolution of 1917, was predominantly Orthodox Christian compared to the predominantly Protestant and Catholic Christian countries of the west.

  • because Jesus was rly born on the 6th January and the Russians are celebrating on New Year our "Christmas". (cause of Stalin)

  • Surprising how close English sounds to the names of the months. I like it. It shows yet another facet of how English has such deep origins in Europe.

  • Comment removed

  • @GeorgyKiladze77 That's exactly what I am saying. Maybe I can copy and paste what I typed in Russian.

    .

    Удивительно, насколько близко английские звуки с названиями месяцев. Мне это нравится. Это показывает еще одну грань того, как английский имеет такие глубокие корни в Европе.

  • free russian courses? this will be the 1st serious course of you, dear miss :)

  • hey class is back in session bout time

  • here is the answer to your question:

    the reason is that the Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old Julian Calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar, which is adopted by most countries in the world (and by the Russian government). therefore: 25 December (Julian) = January 7 (Gregorian).

    on a side note, we start our celebration on the 24. of December, we open our presents in the evening on the 24. instead of the morning on the 25.

  • @mackmatthew64 you made me laugh with comment! 

  • I love these word lessons.

    Where were you when I was in high school Marina?

  • My anniversary is in Dyekabr... maybe I'll get a present

  • Eastern orthodox countries celebrate Christmas in January. There was a revival in 1992 after the Soviet Union

  • Russians celebrate Christmas in January because they follow the Julian calendar of the Orthodox church. I'm a good student ;)

  • Mmmm those lips

  • Why do Russians use "R"s if they are silent?

  • @TORREY333

    They aren't silent...they just aren't stressed.

    If you listen close, you can hear her vocalize them

  • Becauze they want to be different

  • again, it took some time for the wise men from the east to get back to russia

  • It took a while for the wise men from the east got back to russia

  • My guess is that the Russian Orthodox Church believes that January is the month that Jesus was born. The Great Schism marks the time when Orthodox split from the Roman Catholic Church which follows more of the old roman calendar of holidays. Dec 25th was originally a pagan holiday in the old roman calendar

  • Is it mere coincidence that a lot of Cyrillic letters happen to look like Latin letters but are pronounced like other Latin letters?

  • @therealhardrock в(v), р(r), у(oo), н(n), с(s), ь(is soft sign),х(a hard h, or kh as K is silent),е(ye)

    А,Т,О,К,М are letters that are same as latin a,t,o,k,m. Other letters of cyrillic alphabet are unique to russian. Not knowing greek I ame pretty sure they are different. I think Russian "L" is same as greek though.

  • The russian orthodox church follows the julian calendar which is 13 days behind the Gregorian which is what some countries have adopted.

    Therefore from december 25th to january 7th, russians are celebrating something.

    Pretty cool

  • Early Christians followed the god of the new year, who was born in Jan. 1st. But they waited till the 7th day to celebrate. They replaced the pagan god of new year and celebrated Christ's B-day instead. Orthodox Russians still follow that original tradition.

  • Russian is difficult.

  • @PLFields1111 Русский язык легок учиться, любите ли Вы русский язык. It is easy to learn if you love it language.

  • Like.The continuation of the months in russian --- Sent From hotforwords's AppRats (Facebook App)!

  • The reason is that the Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old Julian Calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar.

  • Hotforwords, I really appreciate these kinds of videos. Definitely neat to learn something random and new! :)

  • @aakk009 its something i suggested to her 2 years ago.

    with running out of words to "investigate" (English words)

    & many people asking about where she is from, well most people know for a while she is from Russia.

    so im guessing there was more people asking her to teach Russian.

    i hope she does a series of these.

  • For the difference between gregorian and julian calendar, it´s like two weeks difference right?

  • Because Russian use to have a different calendar so their holidays didnt match up. Amiright? It has to do with the calendar thing...im sure of it!

  • And now let's all say Kaks teist kuud.

    It means twelve months in Estonian;)!

  • Привет, Марина!

    Да, учительница, я хочу изучить по-русски с тобой. Ты восхитительна и симпатична. Мой вид женщины.

    Целую, Боб

    

  • niceeee

  • Not bad. :) You should check GeniayCaballo's Russian classes. She's funny.

  • лол

  • Hello My Teacher. I did it! I did my homework! Russia celebrates Christmas in January because The Russian Orthodox Church still goes by The Julian Calendar which is 13 days behind The The Gregorian Calendar we use and The Russian government still uses. :)

  • because they have another calender?

  • all i can think about is glasses and pigtails thanks Marina

  • Yay Marina! Christmas in January - it's because you've always celebrated it then. Duh...

  • Marina:  I believe it is because the Russian Orthodox Church never adopted the Gregorian calendar, but still uses the Julian calendar.

  • Wow....u r unbelievably sexy!!

  • we say stuff very different in Belarus then the Russians
