[Iceland1944]

This is why Americans don't know other languages. If this much thought goes into one word, imagine how long it would take to get through the cases.

[Lilia472]

I just discovered a Russian PhraseApp on iTunes is very helpful. It sounds so clear,loved it!

[AcrylicApe]

@EASTWOOD I was thinking the same thing. I even read a blog on how to pronounce it and about omitting the V to sound legit haha

[CALegendz]

Zdrah strvooy tee

[mooooooo123vnjfi]

@Pentaparsec not really beacause if you look for ukrainian greetings then you get a hold of ukrainian words then you will get a hold of russian more easily

[CALegendz]

[zipperneck1321]

not even close, dude - there's no "witch" in there at all - for fuck's sake..

[ToxiicMikez]

whats the different between Privet and zdtrasswhich?

[julijan999]

@ToxiicMikez Privjet is within friends (Non-formal) but zdtrasswhich is formal

[xxdecodexx341]

@julijan999 Both are spelled wrong.

[julijan999]

@xxdecodexx341 please tell me how are they spelled right

[xxdecodexx341]

@julijan999 Zdrastvuite, is "Hello". Privet, is "Hi."

[julijan999]

@xxdecodexx341 No its Zdravstvujte

[xxdecodexx341]

@julijan999 ...No it ISN'T. I have a Russian teacher..you need to learn your facts.

[julijan999]

@xxdecodexx341 I transcribed it russian letters to English (i left 6(soft mark) there). I am also learning rusian

@russianeffortlessly u should spell it out in english letters in the header for this video

[bladeusAU]

@jevinthepimpyo Damn he totally does!! You should put your name down as a double :)

Thanks for the help with this word too!

[FerrariFire34]

I thought you were the guy from the hang over

[SynikaI]

HOLY CRAP HE LOOKS LIKE ED HELMS...

[dachevashe]

You are very accurate at explaining the difference between "privet" and "zdrastvujte", ok it's exactly as "hi" and "hello". But in the last part of the video, a woman explaining the difference between "zdrastvuj" and "zdrastvujte" failed to explain it fully. The fact is that "zdrastvuj" is the singular form of this greeting and the "zdrastvujte" is the plural one. You simply cannot say "zdrastvuj" to a number of people at once, it would be a grammatical mistake.

[dachevashe]

@dachevashe Not enough space to explain this :(

Well, to finish it off, the plural form of this greeting is used to a single person in order to show some respect.

And about "zdraste", the girl was right, it's kinda shortcut. Personally i use it with people older than I am but the ones I see to often to spend our time to pronounce this correctly :)

[MadMaddy1200]

That's fun! Thanks :)

[straightdude35]

i can't roll my Rs... So DOES THAT MEAN I CAN"T SPEAK RUSSIAN?????? TELL ME!!!

[radicalgarbage02]

@straightdude35 It's very easy to do with practice and many other languages feature the rolled R as well... just relax your mouth and tongue, point your tongue up and behind the curve that's behind your upper teeth (that's where the R sound is made) and try to keep it fixed in that position while exhaling forcefully on that point. That rubbing sound is a good start, just make it sound like an R and you're good to go!

[narutoizcool330]

don't you say hello Preevyet. or is that just the written form of it.

[pathofchaos1]

@narutoizcool330 preevyet is Hi in russia zdrraastwhicha is Hello

[ZMortimer]

@narutoizcool330 Preevyet (привет) is an informal way of saying hello. You don't really say it to people whom you aren't friends/family with.

[minion6500]

crazy russian with their backwards R, hello should only be two or less syllables! o well

[Scheer905]

You are the man! I got Rosetta stone Russian, and have never been able to pronounce hello, until I watched your video! Thank you!

[Tiffwin10]

To say hello in Russian, say Zdravstvuite (ZDRAST-vet-yah).

[SophieGal09]

Stressed with LOL

Just say stressed witch only instead of stressed say strassed witch

[Brandiny7]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Very helpful, thank you :)
