👋Доброе утро, товарищи!

🔻The ACCUSATIVE case marks the direct object of a sentence, answers the questions Кого? Что? (Whom? What?).

🔻Accusative case is used after the prepositions 'в', 'за', 'на', 'про', 'через':

🔻Some verbs which require the accusative case are:

🔵Видеть (to see)
🔵Изучать (to study)
🔵Влиять на (to influence)
🔵Влюбиться в ( to fall in love with)
🔵Беспокоиться за (to worry about)
🔵Рассказывать про (to tell about)
🔵Перелезть через (to climb/get over)

Example (see the video):

•  Я вижу мясо!!!
   [ya vi-zhu mya-sa]
   I see (some) meat!!!

Всем доброго утра! Some grammar instead of morning coffee☕️😉?

• Опаздывать (imperf.)
  [a-paz-dy-vat']
=
• Опоздать (perf.)
  [a-paz-dat']
  To be late (for/to)
❗Mind the difference in spelling (-а-, -о-)

🔻Prepositions 'на' and 'в' (+ accusative case) are used with the verb 'опаздывать' but their usage depends.

🔻We use 'в' when referring to more general concepts like school or university:

• Я опаздываю в школу.
  [ya a-paz-dy-va-yu f shko-lu]
  I am late for school.

🔻We use 'на' when referring to a specific place or event, like work or a meeting:

(See the video)
- Почему ты опоздал на встречу?
- Ты не поверишь!
[pa-chi-mu ty a-paz-dal na fstre-chu? ty ni pa-ve-rish]
- Why are you late for the meeting?
- You won't believe me!

Useful? ->❤

🎧🗣👇 Не опаздывайте!

👋Доброе утро, товарищи!

Demonstrative words:
• Это [e-ta]
• Эта [e-ta]
• Этот [e-tat]
• Эти [e-ti]

🔻'Это' will never change if it introduces something or somebody.
🇬🇧-> 'this is', 'these are', 'it is'

🔻'Этот'(masc.), 'эта'(femin.), 'это'(neut.) and 'эти'(pl) are used to point out a specific noun: this one in particular.

🔻The gender and number of this noun defines the choice of the form (этот, эта, это or эти).
🇬🇧-> 'this' or 'these'

Еxamples:
• Это белый тигр.
  This is a white (аlbino) tiger. (introduction).
+
• Этот тигр - белый.
  This tiger is albino. (this one in particular).

• Это красная машина.
  This is a red car.
+
• Эта машина - красная.
  This car is red.

• Это моё платье.
  This is my dress. 
+
• Это платье - моё.
This dress is mine.

• Это мои друзья.
  These are my friends.
+
• Эти друзья - мои.
  These friends are mine.

📎Those forms have different forms in other cases. See the table👇.

👋Всем привет! Breathe in - some more grammar!

Do you remember:
▶️Это эта этот эти (Revision)

• Это (demonstrat. neut.)
  [e-ta]

🔻Russians use 'это' to introduce an object 'This is...' or express an opinion about something 'It's good':

• Это мой кот. 
  This is my сat.

🔻In English 'it' quite often introduces time, temperature or distances,
❗but 'это' won't be used in these situations in Russian:

• На улице тепло. 
  It is warm outside.

• Сейчас 5 (пять) часов. 
  [siy-chas pyat' chi-sof]
  It is 5 o'clock now.

• От моего дома до магазина - 2 (два) километра. 
It is 2 km from my house to the shop.

❗Mind that in English the pronoun 'it' is used to substitute things, while in Russian the pronouns 'он, она, оно' are used in this meaning:

• У меня есть кот. Он очень умный. 
I have a cat. It is very smart.
(Кот = masculine).

🎉Today is:

• День Жареной Картошки

Fried Potato Day

By the way:

• ЖареНая картошка (femin.adj.)
Or
• ЖареННая с грибами картошка (participle)
Potatoes fried with mushrooms

🔻The adjective жареная is written with one letter 'н', the participle жаренная - with two.
🔻Dependent words help to identify the participle: 'с грибами' (with mushrooms) -> жареННая.

❓Can you eat an entire plate of fried potatoes without feeling guilty😋?

Double negation in Russian is a fascinating linguistic phenomenon! I swear😅!

🔻Unlike English, where two negatives cancel each other out, in Russian, they actually reinforce the negation.

🔻This means that a sentence like У меня нет никаких денег. (I don't have no money) actually translates to "I have no money" in English.

Examples:
• Я не могу не учить русский.
[ya nn ma-gu ni u-chit' ru-skiy]
SLT: I can't not to learn Russian.
I can't but learn Russian.

• Я никого не видел.
[ya ni-kа-vo ni vi-del]
SLT: I didn't see nobody.
I didn't see anyone.

• Я не знаю ничего.
[ya ni zna-yu ni-chi-vo]
SLT: I don't know nothing.
I don't know anything.

• Никогда не сдавайся! (See the video by retra)
[ni-kag-da ni zda-vay-sya]
SLT: Never don't give up!
Never give up!

Unlike English with a fixed SVO (subject-verb-object) structure, Russian is much more flexible.

🔻This flexibility stems from the fact that Russian words change form to indicate their grammatical function in a sentence. Also attributives usually precede the noun they modify.

🔻Word order can affect the emphasis and nuance of a sentence, especially in spoken Russian. The information you'd like to emphasize comes first in a sentence.

Example:
• Красивые девушки поют русскую песню.
Beautiful girls are singing a Russian song.

SVO:
🔵КрасивЫЕ девушкИ (кто?/who? Nomin., plural)
🔵поЮТ (что делают?/what are they doing? imperf, present tense)
🔵русскУЮ песнЮ (что они поют?/what are they singing? Accus., singular)

🔻Since the nouns have particular endings, you won't confuse the subject and the object:

• Русскую песню поют красивые девушки.
=
• Русскую песню красивые девушки поют.
=
• Поют красивые девушки русскую песню.

ехать НА метро 🆚️ ехать В метро?

1⃣The preposition "на" is used to emphasize the mode of transportation:
• ехать на метро (to go/travel by metro).

2⃣The preposition "в" is used to indicate being inside something:
• ехать в метро (to stand in the metro train and move).

🔻Therefore, the expressions "ехать на метро" and "ехать в метро" are both absolutely correct, because we are talking about either the mode of transportation, or the fact that we are inside the metro carriage.

📎 Under the cover of night, when the Moscow Metro closed for passengers, one of its stations, "Mayakovskaya," transformed into a concert venue. The stars of the evening were the trio of People's Artist of Russia, Daniil Kramer, and the popular jazz singer, Mari Karne.🎵

🔻How to say 'near' in Russian:

Близко 🆚️ Под боком 🆚️ Рядом с 🆚️ Возле

1⃣Близко
[bliz-kа]

🔻This preposition means "close" in a general sense, often indicating proximity or distance.

2⃣Под боком
[pat bo-kam]
SLT: At (your) side

🔻This preposition is more specific, meaning "right next to" or "beside." It often implies a comfortable, familiar position, like being close to someone in bed.

3⃣Рядом (c...)
[rya-dam]

🔻This preposition means "nearby" or "beside," implying a close proximity.

4⃣Возле
[voz-le]

🔻This preposition means "near" or "by," suggesting a relatively close distance but not necessarily direct contact.

Example:
• Котики сидят близко друг к другу, рядом находится доска, а возле неё стоит учительница.
🇬🇧 The kitties are sitting close to each other, near the blackboard, beside it there is a teacher.

У нас стало холодно, а у вас?

Надевать 🆚️ Одевать

🔻Both involve clothing, but there's a subtle difference in meaning.

🅰️ Надень шапку!
Or
