This is the most wonderful video ever. The "o" has been driving me crazy. Thank you so much!
you're always welcome:)
same lol
In general, if you will clearly pronounse O like O, it will not be mistake too. In some regions of Russia it pronounce this way.
Yeah, my name is Mariano and when I looked it up on Google translate I got Marian-a which in Spanish is the female form. I was like ,wtf! It has to be a mistake. haha
Yes seriously thank you Daria. My reading just skyrocketed.. No more guessing and stumbling.
There's an airport in Moscow called Домодедово (Domodedovo) and guess what, the stress in on the E, so basically all the Os are pronounced A.
пезос5 Except the last “O” it pronounced almonds like O since it has lighter secondary stress in it
пезос5 basically
Max Spirin what she means is the word is pronounced " DAMADEDAVA
@@galinaioffe2250 more like Damadyedava
@maxspirin, нет там никакого ударения в конце и звучит Шва.
...it is a stressy situation not to know when to stress!
Thank you!!
i speak russian fluently, but my friend about 3 months ago wants to learn. i told her to watch your videos, and she can already speak quite a bit! it’s amazing how well you teach! 💕
спасибо:)
Finally the mistery is solved (at least for me) :D
yeah, me too :D
I got u.
Your comment makes me think about Professor Layton x)
Me three
When the vowels а, о, е, э, я come anywhere after the stress or there is more than one syllable before the stress, we pronounce them as a short sound /ə/.
As a Russian-American, who hasn’t spoken Russian since childhood, I’m trying to re-learn it and you’ve been a huge help!
PS: Your accent remind some so much of my mom’s😅 I can barely hear it by the way, you clearly are a linguist!
Спасибо!
Listening to Russian people speaking in television (e.g. news channel) helps me alot to pronounce any words, though I'm not really understand the meaning but still enjoyed.
Same
You have really helped me with this russian O, it had been bugging me for months and thank you for such an informative video.
Удачи в поисках буквы Ё, товарищи иностранцы. Точнее, точек над ней. =)
Ё-моё ... надеюсь переведут))
Да,да:) Хорошая новость - ё всегда под ударением. Плохая - русские почти всегда пишут е вместо ё. Экономия типографской краски.
Это не экономия краски, а лень наборщиков. Краску и так тратят на право и на лево, на разные рисунки и узорчики.
Плюс люди всё равно ведь платят деньги за продукцию...
Your videos are always so helpful! Thank you 😊
Thanks Daria. I’ve been curious about this for a long time.
ты читаешь мысли людей... что они хотят знать... идеальный учитель... только женщина может быть таким лучшим учителем
Hello!
I'm belarusian and I speak and know russian, but I watch all of your videos to practice my English. I would like you teach English to Russians, who studies this language.
You are so good teacher!
спасибо:) но даже на русский времени нет :D
hahaha you live upside down
Серый Студио “You are such a good teacher” or “You are so good at teaching”
Word stress in Russian unpredictable, but once you know on which syllable the stress is, everything else is logical.
Daria, your lessons and tips are great and useful. Yes, thank you.
I started learning Russian few days back and it has been messing with my mind since day 1! Thanks for the video!
Great video! Thanks! I had hoped there would be some sort of rule for how to know which vowel is stressed, however these tips sure help a lot, большое спасибо!
that was very helpful, i'm just starting to learn russian and this has always been a doubt of mine. thank you!
so far the best channel Ive found for learning russian language :)
Thank you Daria ! Amazing !
Thank you for the great explanation!
Thanks been wondering this forever.
Thank you for that explanation!
similar to Spanish, we add a tilde to the stressed syllable/vowel, thanks for the video, it's making more sense now
It would be nice to have someone to study with but for now I am learning when I can online....You are terrific Daria thank you for the videos as they are a big help
Thank you!!! This has been driving me crazy on my favorite language learning app.
Большое спасибо! У меня есть всегда проблемы с произношение, но это будет мне помогать))
До скорого))
"...to make your life a little bit easier"
Oh my gosh. This clears so much up.
So helpful!! I've been curious about this, thanks!
you're welcome:)
Thank you so much! I had this very question!
Great to know! I'm only starting out in learning Russian, but I'm sure this would come up. Most likely I'd end up writing it off in my mind, though, as English does similar things with weird and different pronunciations which makes it hard for learners of the language.
Hi. I am looking for a friend to study English. Would you like to communicate with me? I can communicate in Russian.
I am just starting to learn russian, and I only know like 18 letters of the alphabet and 5 words of vocabulary but I needed to know this, thank you professor !
Very useful video thank you for good teaching 👍
Good job👍👍👍 hoping for more
This is an excellent explanation for something that really puzzled me. Thank you.
I'm happy to help:)
Thank you! Very helpful!
Little but super helpful info!
Спасибо за совет. I am from czech republic and I say sorry that it's so complicated to everyone who is trying to learn it also 😂 After watching the video, It would be nice to have more examples for adjectives and everything becuase it's always so nice to hear a native speaker say the words like they are supposed to be said. overall, lovely video. thank you for sharing with us the mysteries of russian language and of the words like молоко or окно. my rule of the thumb is to always read only the last O as Ó, the rest is A (apart from adjectives)
Спасибо за ваши помощь. Я изучала русский язык в университете (6 месяцев да мало) но я очень мало научилась, мои преподаватели были добрые и хорошие но не для преподавать к служению. Много студентов вернули на своих странах и много выбрали учить на английском из-за ^языка^.
Мы иностранцы, нам нужно люди как вы (teachers who did studies for teaching not just because she/he is native so let's hire them).
Огромное спасибо
Thanks for the explanation.
Thanks!
You are such a great teacher!! Period.
thank you:)
We need more videos about the vowel reduction please
Superb! Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Спасибо Дария!
I have been puzzled by this for a while. 🤔 It makes spelling and sounding out written words quite challenging. Your explanation is going to help a lot.
It will definitely be noted down in the тетрадь!
Благодарю! ☺
Спасибо Василий!
Actually I did pick up that mistake just after posting my comment. 😣 I really should try to get my teacher's name correct!
I hope Дарья will treat this spelling mistake in the same Russian manner as pronunciation mistakes and not care (for now at least 😉).
Василий, thanks again for pointing out my mistake - it's one of the best ways to learn.
Да свидания! ☺
👍☺
Здорово Василий!
Thank you for the above explanation. I had to think about it for a while but I think I got the point.
I'm really only in the Russian language "Kindergarten" - детский сад (I cheated and got this from Google Translate! 😉). So there is a long way for me to go!
(The following are from the book 600 Real Russian Phrases for Everyday Life by Дарья - more cheating by me!)
Влагодарю Василий!
Всего доброго! 👍☺
Thank you . it did make it easy
Thanks
wow,! this is wonderful thank you so much Дарья
you're welcome:)
you answered my big question xD
thank you so much
thank you for watching:)
wow thank you, been struggling with this since learning russian! spacibo! :D
Excellent!
Great easy to understand video
thanks
Great video. Most adverbs end with o, are not stressed. For example, ва́жно, тру́дно, интере́сно ... Exceptions are смешно́, легко́ ...
Thanks! Your instruction is very helpful.
thank you:)
We love you very much
Thanks. Большое спасибо.
If I could like this video twice I would!!!! Thank you, Daria, @Real Russian Club

I saw an Instagram story about someone criticizing your nose, I just want to tell you that you really are beautiful as you are: D And I appreciate your videos anyway.. you´re amazing, greetings from Nicaragua Central America.
haha thank you :D
I've been looking for more info on this situation! Thanks for the information. it's like in english the word 'Body' you kind of saw it Bawh-dee and that's how I've been applying the unstressed O in Russian.
Нет, в русском там Шва, а перед ударением центральная нижняя А
I was wondering about this!!!!!
Спасибо!
This was helpful! !

Dave Trotter How are you doing in Russia?
Спасибо Daria, now I can pronounce the Russian words that have o's with more confident.
bolshoyee cpaciba Daria mam
Now I have an answer ! Thank you
you're welcome:))
this is exactly what i was thinking about today :)
I read minds :D
THANK YOUUUUU!
you're welcome:)
как я сюда попала, будучи native speakers 😃 вы прекрасно объясняете!
спасибо :)
Если пишете по английски посреди русского, то уже не носитель...
@@user-uu4kz8sr5i носитель она, носитель, просто решила в контексте русской-английского общения применить известное словосочетание.
@@user-uu4kz8sr5i а-а-а, "носитель языка" звучит коряво. Native speaker - настолько распространено, что воспринимается по английски нормально.
@@olegfedorov3225 как видите, не воспринимается, а "носитель языка" звучит естественно, потому что звучит по-русски на русском.
Portuguese has something like this too. One tip is to pretend you're screaming the word to a friend, in some cases the intonation will come naturally in your mind. Also definitely listen to russian people speaking.
Sometimes Very irritating (i also feel)..but it's lovely experience to learn Russian language because it's very good to spell..everday i give 2 hours to the language..
Спасибо
не за что:)
your might feature a letter...... like...... г......while teaching children ...educational channels often .... start the program with ....today learn the letter ...B ..or the letter D....the can of course be just a section of your lesson plan.... I am learning at a elevated rate....nicely done
GROZA!
Балшой спасибо и Пака пака, дари
ну пока :D
We do the same in English, example "o" in cot.
Большой спасибо
Right is "Большое спасибо". Remember that.
LittleCabana thx mate
Well, wovel reduction it is common in many language, English for once and also Neapolitan but not in Italian
I'm not trying to learn Russian, but i have Russian friends, and lately I've been wondering why it is said as spasiba if its written as spasibo, along with many other things.
Also, I noticed that many Russian people who speak English tend to say A instead of O sometimes.
Like for example, instead of 'police' I've heard many of my Russian friends say 'palice', along with other things.
В слове police и так звучит А... Посмотрите Вики словарь
A pronunciation tip for English speakers is that the unstressed 'о' is pronounced like the 'i' in 'cousin'. (Obviously most Scottish people would disagree since they don't swallow the 'i' sound like English people do.
Weirdly I found that unstressed 'о' sounded like several different sounds until I got used to it, depending on what letters were around it. First time I heard it, молоко sounded like ma-lu-koh. I guess that is the English-speaking brain unconsciously translating it to more familiar sounds. But when I listened closely, I could hear the two unstressed vowels were the same sound. But I still have to concentrate to hear them as the same sound rather than different ones.
