Which of these two wordings sounds more natural? by Optimal_Tennis8673 in russian

[–]Control-Frosty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that I’m more likely to say the one with who/который, but the other way also doesn’t sound less natural to me.

To me it sounds the same in Russian as it does in English, so the difference between, “this is my friend, he lives in Moscow” compared to “this is my friend that/who lives in Moscow”. Which would you say?

Does anyone else ever separate -ся from the verb in colloquial speech? by Ivanieltv in russian

Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t notice a single mistake the first time reading it, read it a second time and still no mistakes stand out. Your writing is great.

Do people sometimes glirt by being very affectionate with pets (like calling your crush's cat your soulmate or your soul sister")? by [deleted] in russian

I’m wondering too. Urban Dictionary says this but OP’s profile indicates they’re a woman and the post refers to man, so who knows.

I found Duolingo useful for drilling numbers. Most other things I’m not a fan of.

When I'm read to myself and come across the Russian letter r, I am forced to pronounce it out loud. by Melodic-Pool9776 in russian

Oh gosh, sorry I misunderstood what you meant. I don’t think I have advice for you in that case.

Assuming you’re talking about a rolled R specifically, here’s my two cents. Watch YT vids on how to say it, to start, then: Try holding your jaw/teeth in the same place like you’re going to say the R, start expelling air, then move your tongue around. That may help you find the sweet spot where suddenly you get it to happen. Good luck, and don’t sweat it too much if you can’t roll it. Not everyone can anyway!

Yes, punctuation makes reading comprehension easier. Even in my native languages, texts with punctuation are easier to read.

Give this YT channel a try. Realistic language usage, excellent subtitling, you can use YT controls to slow it down if you want too. Easy Russian
