RL 102-14 Russian basic grammar # 14

This time we are looking at how to call and be called, and this brings us nicely into 1b verbs. For the accompaniment to the ending song I am indebted to Krzysztof Piotrowicz of Perth, whose channel here is http://www.youtube.com/kpcart

No worries. I hope you didn't think I blocked you. It was just a system problem.

3:26 "Kak nazivayotsa zhivotnie, kotorie dayut moloko svoim malym?"

Actually its incorrect. malyi = small. The noun for baby is redenok or deti (plural)

U have a funny accent when u speak english.. And when u speak russian u have it too. Where are u from?

Btw keep on making the vids! My friends who learn russian love your lessons))

You tell me what accent I have in Russian, it's not for me to say, is it? I don't like talking about newborn animals as "babies" as I find it a bit anthropomorphic in any language. Did you know that baby chimpanzees have skulls that look like miniature human skulls, btw?

Thanks for putting the time & effort into helping others learn this beautiful language.

I've used your lessons to supplement my self-study.

It's important to "attack" your Russian learning from many different angles. Meaning, grammar, movies, songs, books, practice conversing with a native. etc.

Anyway, look forward to your next lesson...

Thanks again...

Take care!

Thank you very much! Your teaching is useful and has a nice pace.

Great video. I loved your wife's little takeover. I used to think your songs were a bit weird at the end, but I found that although I only understood one or two words, it was very helpful to have the lyrics on the screen while you sang them. It's great for my reading efforts. Besides you are very musical and that appeals to my musical ear! BTW the lyrics ran a bit too fast on this one and they were off the screen by the time you sang them (towards the end). Spasiba!

Dear Victor, I assume that you are from Russia, are you? i like your lessons and they got me on the road learning Russian.

yes, its anthropomorphic, thats why there is a word "detenysh" (proizvodnoe ot "ditya". Malyi v principe ne upotreblyaetsa v znechenii "detenysh", da i voobshe eto ne sushestvitelnoe, a prilagatelnoe. Hodovoe slovosochetanie s etim slovom - "malyi biznes" a bolshe ono osobo-to i ne upotreblyaetsa) So, "detenysh" we use only when we talk about animals)

Yeah, chimpanzees have much more alike features besides scull)

I think a good joke for this lesson will be like one French joke i heard before: Someone to the parents of a baby:"Comment il s'appelle?" (how does the baby call himself, just like Russian, Spanish and French also use this expression for asking names.). The Parents answered:"Je sais pas, il ne peut pas encore parler" (We don't know, he can not talk yet.) :D
