Let's look at the difference between the words "ты(ty)" and "вы(vy)" in the Russian language. In English, both of these words are translated as "you"🫤

We use "ты" to address:
- family members
- children, including those we don't know
- friends
- close acquaintances
- people with whom we have agreed to use "ты"


We use "вы" to address:
- strangers
- people we are not very familiar with
- people significantly older than us
- teachers
- colleagues


It is also important to note that "вы" can be used in the context of "you all"🤓

Let's look at ikanie/akanie in the Russian language. Almost always, unstressed vowels "o/e" change to "a/и" in pronunciation.

Молоко (moloko) - milk, pronounced - malako

Деревня (derevnya) - village, pronounced - direvnya

Я пью молоко коровы в деревне (Ya pyu moloko korovy v derevne) - I drink cow's milk in the village, pronounced - ya pyu malako karovy v direvni 😉
