❌ Не говорим: «Я есть 25 лет»
✅ По-русски правильно: «Мне 25 лет»
In Russian, we don’t say “Я есть 25 лет.”
Instead, we say “Мне 25 лет” — literally “To me are 25 years.”
Here are all the pronouns in use:
• Мне — to me
• Тебе — to you
• Ему — to him
• Ей — to her
• Нам — to us
• Вам — to you (formal/plural)
• Им — to them
💡Tip: Always use the dative case (мне, тебе, ему, ей, etc.) when talking about age in Russian!
✨ Примеры:
• Мне 25 лет.
• Тебе 18 лет.
• Ему 30 лет.
• Ей 22 года.
• Нам 40 лет.
• Вам 19 лет.
• Им 50 лет.
👉 Запомни: не «я есть», а «мне»!

🎉 Today, October 1st, we celebrate Teacher’s Day in Uzbekistan.
Why am I talking about Uzbekistan? Because I came here for three months to teach methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language to local school teachers. I truly enjoy being here until December.
Happy Teacher’s Day to all my colleagues and educators around the world! 💐

• 🥣 The plate stays on the table (тарелка стоит на столе)
• 🥄 The spoon lies on the table (ложка лежит на столе)
• 🔪 The knife lies on the table (нож лежит на столе)
In English you’d simply say The plate is on the table — but in Russian, objects are much more “alive” in the way they are described.
Do you like this Russian logic? 💭

Make you own example in the comments if you got it
❗️Why we don’t say “Если ты была вчера на уроке?” in Russian
In Russian, the word “если” means “if” — we use it only for conditions or future / planned situations, not for yes/no questions.
👉 Если будет дождь, я не пойду гулять. — If it rains, I won’t go for a walk.
But if you want to ask a yes/no question like “Were you at the lesson yesterday?”, you can’t use если.
In Russian, we use either:
1. The particle “ли” — it goes after the verb:
👉 Была ли ты вчера на уроке?
2. Or just word order and intonation:
👉 Ты была вчера на уроке?
So remember:
➡️ “Если” = “if” (for conditions)
➡️ “Ли” or word order = for yes/no questions

🗣️ In Russian, we don’t say “I don’t have boyfriend” using the verb to be!
Instead, we use the special word «нет» 💡
❌ у меня не есть парень
✅ у меня нет парня
So remember — in Russian, “нет” means “there is no” or “don’t have”.
Simple, but very Russian 😉🇷🇺
