Russian (Genitive).AVI

[searats20]

Im confused about the times where you use genitive...I know after negation, and after "yest"....but when else? After numbers? (like "Y menya yest dva deti" (I have two children...would children be in genitive?)

[MrStasyan11]

@searats20 we can not say " У меня есть два дети" but "у меня (есть) двое детей" or "у меня (есть) два ребёнка"

[searats20]

@MrStasyan11 Oh yaaa...I'm rembering now....thanks for the help!

[rhcpgurl001]

Thanks for the videos. I am also teaching myself :)

correction: the verb "gavarit", we can't say "gavarit pa russki yazik", but instead we just say "gavarit pa ruski".. cheers.. =)

Время isn't feminine. It's neuter. It's irregular. Like имя. Genetive ending is " У меня нет ВРЕМЕНИ"

[ItsJustHisPenis]

or to simplify things for genitive singular... masculine endings are the same as accusitive, feminine and neuter are the same as plural.

Nice man you really fixed your pronounciation of "этот". And also I don't know if on purpose or not you wrote GEN like GEИ.

Nice moses... very encouraging, but i dont have enough money for the lessons.

Thanx for replying though.. but you are one of the best like viktor huliganov

[laoshu505000]

Money for lessons? Why say that..lol

[2009stalker]

Looks like you have a huge courage to learn languages..... keep it up

[usenetposts]

There are some tremendous howlers in the first sentence, but keep it, and when you get good at it, then you'll be able to look back and see how far you came.

[laoshu505000]

Would you be kind enough and point those howlers out for me?

[usenetposts]

Sure. Po-russki, etc is the adverb of languages and styles. It is not an an adjective and so you don't need the i-kratkoe, and also you don't follow it with the language. It is a frozen adverbial form - po-russki, po-angliyski, etc. No i-kratkoe. Secondly you used i-kratkoe instead of i for and. Thirdly you wrote tok instead of tak, and put the comma after the chto instead of before it. Fourthly the expression "nachinat' z azov" is an infrequent one which I would not teach to beginners...

...fifthly the stress on chitat' is on the wrong syllable, sixthly I necer heard anyone use etot followed by tot zhe samyi in the way you might say in English "this self same newspaper". Just drop the etot. And seventhly, if you did, you would have to decline it also into "etu", following "gazetu". Hope this helps.

[laoshu505000]

It really does-Thanks

[usenetposts]

You're very welcome.

[getreallanguage]

Hey Laoshu, this is just to say it's spelled 'genitive'. And thanks for all your Russian videos... it shows that you put a lot of your time into them.

Net vremENi. It is a special class of nouns, which goes right back to Indo European, adding in another syllable in the obliques. There are quite a few nouns like that in Latin and Greek.

U menya nyet horoshEGO uchitelya. Don't forget that the adjective also must go into the genitive.

[laoshu505000]

Thanks
