    ​@kylechalve yes, we only have 1 word for "for" and "to". Luckily, knowing English and Spanish seems to be (for me) the best advantage for learning Russian. To my surprise, a lot of grammatical rules are the same in russian and spanish, and English helps me a lot with the translation

"Чтобы" in Spanish is "para" & "que", and those words are use as "чтобы" for this type of connections.

    Чтобы is "что" + subjunctive preterite particle "бы". "So that you, I...". It is difficult for native English speakers to allocate this since it has dropped its usage a long time. It has though a remanescent in the to be verb where "was" becomes "were" as in "I was" becomes "I wish I were" or "If I were".

    для этих предлогов используются разные падежи, которые отвечают на свои вопросы, от этого формируется окончание слов.. "Он рассказывал про его машину" (винительный падеж [-Кого?\-Что?]) , "Он рассказывал об этой машине" (предложный падеж [-О ком?\-о чём?]; написал "об" вместо "о" , потому что после этого слова стоит гласный звук "э", такое правило) .. для начинающих изучать русский язык трудно понять как вопросы падежей влияют на окончание слова, это надо просто заучить и часто тренировать, тогда в голове автоматически выработается механизм трансформации окончаний.. таблица падежей.. de24.adygnet.ru/pluginfile.php/46569/course/overviewfiles/02_WEucTvk.jpg

  • @user-bp6dq9yw2f

    I see students make this sentence a lot: -I woke up for me to go to work. Я проснулся, для идти на работу. YA prosnulsya, dlya idti na rabotu. When trying to say “ I woke up for me to go to work “. Unfortunately in Russian when we say “for me to / for to Для [ dlya ]cannot be used. So in this sentence Для [dlya] is used incorrectly. I see the logic but we need to replace Для [dlya] with “Чтoбы” [shtoby]. “Чтoбы” [shtoby] will fit here perfectly. So “Чтoбы” [shtoby] is going to be that connection when we connect two parts of a sentence ; when we do one thing for us to do something else . In this case : -I woke up [for me] to go to work Я проснулся, чтобы идти на работу. YA prosnulsya, chtoby idti na rabotu.  So I did one thing for me in order to do another thing . So чтобы [shtoby] is used a lot in these kinds of situations . ★ But let's break it down. When we truly need “Чтобы [shtoby]”? What are the all scenarios for “Чтобы [shtoby]” to be used and how to properly apply it ? For us to do that, first , we have to understand one thing. in English the structure of “I woke up to go to work “ is a simple structure : “I woke up to go”; very easy and very common. In Russian, unfortunately, we cannot say the same thing. In Russian we have to make a complex structure out of the sentence. We have to say “I woke up in order for me to go to work”. That's kind of the meaning of the sentence. So we say: -I woke up [in order for me] to go to work Я проснулся, чтобы идти на работу. YA prosnulsya, chtoby idti na rabotu.  Чтобы [shtoby] means: for me to / in order for me to + verb[action or deed]- with a purpose or with the goal off going to work. So “Чтобы [shtoby]” will automatically make a sentence complex. And of course, for you to make complex sentences you have to have good enough vocabulary, in order for you to put two simple sentences together into one. And if you're struggling with vocabulary I invite you over to our 30-day speaking challenge where you can train your listening, speaking and vocabulary of course. So in 30 days you will learn all the skills necessary for you to have a great conversation in Russian . Our focus is for you to have a better conversation in Russian and for you to be able to kind of talk to people on a much deeper level in Russian . Maybe have a girlfriend ,maybe you have a wife ;maybe you have a friend; maybe you just simply are curious about the Russian language and you want to speak to natives. We will empower you to do that. Trust me I was in the same position way before with English, and now I want to help you to get that Russian speech out of you and help you speak Russian better. We start on March the 8th and you can sign up with the first link in the description . Back to “Чтобы [shtoby]”. Now let’s learn even more usages of “Чтобы [shtoby]” with different examples. 1. Let's actually finish off the first meaning when we do one thing for us to do something else . An example can be : I went to the store for me to buy groceries /in order to buy groceries. Я пошёл в магазин, чтобы купить продукты. YA pashol v magazin, chtoby kupit' produkty. Again I went with a goal of buying groceries or for the purpose of buying groceries. That's kind of the logic behind this sentence, and that's just the first meaning of “Чтобы [shtoby]”. 2. Now let's go into the second meaning of “Чтобы [shtoby]”. They are all pretty similar, but in the second meaning is when we want or when we ask and request for somebody else to do something.

    I'm not Fedor, but I'll reply anyway. Потом is just an adverb on its own and can be used as a discourse marker. После always has to be used with a predicate, ie. after something. Examples: Потом, мы пошли в кино. Then, we went to the cinema. После того, как мы пошли в кино, мы поехали на вокзал. After we went to the cinema, we went to the train station. I hope that makes sense.

    3 жыл бұрын

    "Прекрасный" is made out of two parts: "Пре" and "красный (красивый). So, translated correctly, it would be "very beautiful". They could be used both in everyday speech, but "красивый" used more frequently. "Прекрасный" is something more theatrical, exalted. Also, you can encounter the word "Красный" in meaning "красивый", if you read some really old or stylized texts. Nowadays people thinking about red color when they hear it. Also, there is a lot of times you would encounter phrases like "Это прекрасно". Sometimes it would mean "This is beautiful", and sometimes "This is wonderful". There is no special rule, it depends on the context. I hope you understand at least a part about the specificity of using such words.

    No, actually not. It would be replaced with "я хочу, чтобы ты остался". If you want to stress something else or set some conditions, that would be correct. E.g. "Я хочу, чтобы ты никогда не уезжал", you stress никогда (never), in this case it's the best way to say it; or "Я хочу, чтобы ты не уезжал, пока я не позвоню"(I don't want you to leave until I call you). Your phrase won't cause outrage, but it sounds unusually and strange. Though it might be said as kinda slip of the tongue, when your thoughts are somewhere else and you don't follow your speech, or as a strict answer to "Just say, what do you want from me?!". You can also add "just", that will be ok, some romantic phrase or an order from your boss: "я просто хочу, чтобы ты не уезжал". I hope it's not very complicated explanation.

    A great example is: -I don’t want you to leave. Я не хочу, чтобы ты уезжал. YA ne khochu, chtoby ty uyezzhal. Я не хочу= I don’t want. чтобы ты уезжал= for you to leave  I don't want so that you leave. I hope I'm making sense there. Of course it's not how we say it in English but that's the logic of a Russian sentence that means the same thing. So “Я не хочу, чтобы ты уезжал. “ I heard that a lot because I kind of travelled back and forth from the United States to Russia, from Russia to the United States . And everywhere I go I hear this phrase . “Я не хочу, чтобы ты уезжал. “People don't want me to leave, so they say : I don't want for you to leave. Another example with more of asking or requesting something : -I asked him/requested him to fix the toilet. Я попросил его, штобы он починил туалет. YA poprosil yevo, shtoby on pochinil tualet.  So you are asking for somebody else to do something else. That's the second meaning of stop when we request something, but it's not a thing that we request- it's an action that we request. 3. -What for? Зачем? Zachem And the very last meaning of “Чтобы [shtoby]” is when we're answering a question that starts with Зачем? [zachem ]. Зачем? [zachem ] means for what purpose ? / for what ? /with what goal? An example can be: -What did you come here for? Зачем ты приехал? Zachem ty priyekhal? And you can say: -For me to have a lesson. Штобы провести урок. Shtoby provesti urok.  I arrived here with the purpose of having a lesson. So that's when we use it with “Зачем”. Another example can be: -What are you saying sorry for? Зачем ты извиняешься? Zachem ty izvinyayesh'sya? -For you to forgive me. Чтобы ты меня простила. Chtoby ty menya prostila. So what are you saying sorry for, and you can reply by saying : for you to forgive me, meaning with the purpose of you forgiving me . So that's what Чтобы [shtoby] is used for. Three different meanings : 1. Is when we do one thing for us to do something else . 2. Is when we ask somebody to do something for us. 3. Answering questions with Зачем[zachem].
