I am curious to know why "его" is pronounced yevo and not yego. Is there any specific reason behind this? Thanks!

Dream List, in the words "его", "сегодня" (= this day or today) and in the endings of adjectives, participles and pronouns in the genitive case. This is one of the few cases, when Russian spelling deviates from the phonetic principle in favor of tradition. Pronunciation его[yevo], красного[krasnava], etc. - appeared not earlier than the 17th century in the Moscow dialect, later adopted as the basis for the general literary norm. If a foreigner does not understand all this or is not interested, we can simply say that this is a tribute to a tradition, which probably exists in any language. (I'm sorry if I made a mistake in English words or grammar.)

@@mothrone if we get deeper then changing the ending -ego, -ogo to -evo, -ovo originally comes from Northern Russian dialects and in many documents of 15-17 centuries it was actally written "-ovo" and "-evo". The Southern Russian dialects instead had/have "-oho", "-eho" endings. I personally believe that the "-ogo/-ego" endings became standartized later as a result of either church slavonic or old russian influence. Concerning the nature of why it became "-ovo", "-evo" is because there was a tendency to "soften" hard plosive "g" in the declination endings due to the vowel reduction and the so called "mobile accent". In other words it just became softer to pronounce it easier in a speech where unstressed vowels are reduced and pronounced short.

@@duck4167 It refers to the subject pronoun of the sentence. Like “I lost my phone.” You would use свой instead of мой because I and my are the same person. “You lost your phone” “He lost his phone” you would use свой for the possessive in all those sentences. Basically if you could place “own” after the possessive in English you use свой in Russian.

Connor Irvine, Hello. As a new Russian Language Student, myself, I would like to offer my opinion on what you are asking. But first, I think 1) That the Russian children can do it easily, because it's the same as in other countries: their (the childrens' minds) are not as "polluted" with things they'll find in society as they grow up, and fill their minds. 2) So, if your adult-aged, familiarity and repetition would be key. But it's been 5 months since you posted, and I'm just seeing your post. You've no doubt come up with your own approach to learning it, but I like your suggested plan, here, and have been sticking with it: To learn them both at the same time. удачи

Спасибо😊

I'm just beginning in Russian study, but have also noticed Hac or Ham used where I expected наш or наша, for example. When is Hac or Ham used correctly instead?

Здравствуйте Фёдор . I'm a bit confused because as for me , мой (кот) for example is an adjective, not a pronoun . You seem to mix up both so I don't understand well and I think that may be confusing for other people too . Пока !

can you make one for ownership case; вашего?

You can. It's not different between свой and мой. It doesn't matter if you're talking about yourself.

This is good stuff . thanks

@Fedor Brother, good video. but i would like to point out something. the pronouns are not mine, yours, hers, theirs. for example, you would not say: HERS PHONE, OR MINE ROOM, OR THEIRS HOUSE, YOURS CITY instead, the word pronouns used would be: HER PHONE, OR MY ROOM, OR THEIR HOUSE, YOUR CITY MY, YOUR, OUR, HER, THEIR are POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES (therefore, they always need a noun after them) whereas MINE, YOURS, OURS, HERS, THEIRS are POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS (therefore, a noun is not required after them) To understand the use of MINE, YOURS, HERS, THEIRS, look at the following examples: This is MY book. (a noun used after MY) (MY is always followed by a noun) This book is MINE. (a noun used before MINE) (MINE is never followed by a noun). This is HER book. (a noun used after HER) (HER is always followed by a noun) This book is HERS. (a noun used before HERS) (HERS is never followed by a noun). This is OUR book. (a noun used after OUR) (OUR is always followed by a noun) This book is OURS. (a noun used before OURS) (OURS is never followed by a noun). This is THEIR book. (a noun used after THEIR) (THEIR is always followed by a noun) This book is THEIRS. (a noun used before THEIRS) (THEIRS is never followed by a noun).

G'day Fedor. This is more of a "how to learn question" than something directly connected to this amazing lesson. How did you "learn" all of the endings for the nouns, pronouns etc for different cases. I guess this would also apply to verbs. Have you formed "tables" in your mind's eye from constant repitition when you were at school? Or was there another way that russian kids were taught when and where to use what. Because I cannot see a farmer ploughing his field pondering over if it is a "direct object" or an "indirect object" or "this is affected by a preposition". Heck, I would guess that there are some people in russia who can easily speak the language but have no idea of what nominative, genitive dative etc cases even are. This is said with the greatest of respect to Russian farmers and others who have not been shown the ins and outs of the language.

We simply use it a lot and it becomes natural to us. Even if you talk to an uneducated person, they'll have all the endings correctly.

evets1709 I have a bachelor's degree in English and I'm still shaky on parts of speech. (This may say more about the U.S. education system than it does about me, but I digress.) I am learning Russian primarily by using a teaching system that tries to teach the way a native speaker learns--not by memorizing tables and rules, but by recognizing patterns in the way people speak. Instead of memorizing all 6 conjugations for each verb, it starts with "me, thee" forms. Then it works in "he/she" and then "you," which is pretty similar. I have not yet learned "we" and "they" conjugations, but it's coming!

Спасибо друг Duolingo doesn’t give enough tips on this

Perhaps someone can answer this for me... I’ve read that Russian is a “partial pro-drop language” meaning sometimes it’s acceptable to drop the pronoun (like in Spanish) since it’s implied by the verb conjugation. Can someone tell me when it’s ok to drop pronouns and when you shouldn’t?

Hey, i think u forguet the neutral possessive pronouns. these is: моё, твое, ваше, наше, его (this is the same, for third person), and их (nothing changes here too). And the вы (you -plural-) can be used for conversation with strange people on the street, or important people. This is for show your respect for them.
