for those of you new to russian, i would just like to tell you that cases appear far more intimidating than they actually are. They are very easy to memorize. The male endings are numerous, but the female endings are almost all the same a lot of the time. Overall there's less than what, 20, 30 endings to memorize. What is 20 compared to the number of nouns, verbs, adjectives, that you need to understand the language? In my opinion you need 2000+ words to understand russian at a basic level. So those 20 or 30 endings are peanuts compared to memorizing actual words. You'll learn them just by reading, if you keep a table next to you and check it. If you take a week to just memorize them by writing words out over and over in all the cases, it will be even easier. 30 minutes a day, pick random words and adjectives, and write them in every case from memory, using a table when you forget an ending. Easy. Remember, the only way to memorize something like this is to USE it and make mistakes. Mistakes are how you learn a language, and you can't make mistakes if you just sit there not using the language

Hi, Daria. Long time ago when I first started watching your channel to learn Russian, I was the biggest advocate about not having to learn cases in order to speak Russian fluently. Thank you for taking the time to explain how and why cases are important to the Russian language. Now you've got me interested in learning them. I never thought I'd say that sentence before.

Russian and Bulgarian have a lot of similiraties and it's amazing how Russian has a case system where in Bulgaria there are traces of it.

I’m at work but I will watch later. Love you😀 and Спасиб

Struggled with cases for 10 years. Yes, you read that right. Я ОЧЕНЬ тупой хахаха. If you’re a native English speaker, I suggest learning them in this order: Prepositional, Genitive, Accusative, Dative, Instrumental. If your native language is an analytic language, the Prepositional is the easiest case to understand the usefulness and necessity of cases. Genitive next because it’s the most used, then Accusative because it’s a blend of Nominative and Genitive. The last two are a bit tougher to USE, not understand. With comprehensive input, reading, and predictive text on a phone, you’ll quickly use them correctly 70% of the time. Most of all, don’t quit. I started learning ten years ago and am now A1 level finally. If I can do it, anyone can.

I don't speak russian but ppl in my family do, but I speak fluent german whereas they make occasional grammatical mistakes. Now I understand what structures they're coming from and why what sounds wrong to my German ear sounds right to them! This is so fascinating

Thank you for such a good explanation!

Thanks for this helpful video! 😊😊

Привет! One thing I wanted to say, but I hopped on right at the end of the premiere, and I think it was kind of what you were saying. I started learning Russian through your videos, and I was going fast, and then it got to cases, and it kinda blew my mind. I almost got discouraged, but I was determined to keep going.. I just didn't know how. Some time down the road I just figured "whatever", I'll just learn phrases and the cases will come along as I learn to say things. It did. I haven't focused on it much, but the more I understand, the more it makes sense. Now, a couple of year later, just from being exposed to Russian so much, and now having friends in Russia, I probably could look at those complicated charts and retain some of what's there, because I've seen it, my brain remembers somewhere.. so yeah... just keep going and it'll make sense. Thank you so much for your videos that first taught me the basics!

Thank you. You really teach with passion.

That video was very insightful. Definitely needed this so I can start with learning Russian.

I am amazed! The video you shared about this topic was the best I have seen. It is evident that you have a good understanding of the struggles we face while trying to learn "cases". I am from Argentina and live in Buenos Aires. Our country was built by immigrants who came from all over the world. Thus, it does not matter if you do not speak Spanish fluently, we will still understand you. However, I believe that it is different when it comes to Russian. Learning cases has been quite frustrating for me until now. Thank you so much for your help.

Really great video. I'd never understood why cases exist until now.

Отлично. Спасибо. This lesson is very helpful. I put the Russian language like solving the Rubik's cube. There are many steps to learn and in order. With practice and dedication to learning something difficult becomes easier to learn or solve. I still remember you saying in one of your early lessons practice practice practice.

Well done!

My native languages (Marathi, Konkani, Hindi) have 6-7 cases and i had no idea about it as i never knew what the concept of case was (it was probably explained in school, i don't remember). Only after i started learning russian and making comparisons with my mother tongue, did I realise I have been using cases all this time involuntarily 🤣🤦. It's more intuitive for me to learn Russian using Hindi as many linguistic concepts that dont exist in English, exist there (like both languages have proper case structure), but theres hardly any content available.

Using Masha as an example is what puts you, guys, into trouble. Use beer instead. Я люблю пиво. Люблю я пиво. Пиво я люблю. Unlike Masha, пиво is stable, constant, and reliable (also grammatically). Пиво is always there for you and will never leave you.

Word order in Japanese isn't very strict. We have the same concept with Russian cases. :)

спасибо большоеее

Dobre otra, spasiba

Romanian has the cases also: Dativ, Genitiv, Nominativ, Acuzativ, and so on. It’s easy.

Спасибо Дарья, или, лучшие сказать "Whatever Daria" 😘

“Never compare Russian with your native language.” Me (a Bulgarian): 💀

I been learn Russian for some years and I still mess up cases al the time especially with adjectives. But I just keep chugging along trying to improve over time

If nouns have adjectives or participles, they have cases and changeable endings too. I just inform.

Cases are probably the hardest to learn in Russian

word order in japanese is not strict at all. stuff can be in any order more or less as long as the case particles are correct.

So what was D in crocodile in RU is now J aswell in John ? i can't find it in my RU word chart plis help lol

Здравствуйте, Даша! Хотел учить в веше сайт но не знаю если есть возможность чтобы оплатить с карта банка виза, потому что живу в Москве!

I speak Sanskrit. Learning the Russian cases was easier for me.

If I guess the case and get it wrong, will I still be understandable? I don't mind it sounding weird but if I understand correctly from this video if I use any case at all at least the context is understood right? John might be a man but say I call him John-'y' instead of John-'a', everybody should still understand that he is the one getting murdered because that's the cased word?

The grammar is very similar to Bosnian.

Every time people question how people can be as crass as they are today, I have No problem believing. I have seen. And it's World-wide. I have cases.

Good lesson. According to one wise Bald and Bankrupt guy - "don't learn Russian grammar" and he speaks understandable Russian everywhere he goes.

Famine occurs when there's a lack of food, therefore we say feminine. "Tal" is a valley in German (dale), so we say neutral, not "neurtal". I'm certain there are not so many errors in your Russian as there are in the English. Thanks for the effort anyways, I'm listening now!

So who ate who?😅, I though the crocodile eat the tourist...so krokodil ect tourista, right? I know it's sad 😊. I took russian language long time ago and I love your courses, because I never really understood many details. Thank you 🙏

why does she say accusative of турист is туриста? May grammar table says for masculine nouns the ending does'nt change

@widsquird

6 ай бұрын

If it's an "animate" noun it's ending will change, meaning it represents a person or animal

@Rayenn_19

2 ай бұрын

Because tourist is animate, and in masculine animate objects, the endings for accusative and genitive are the same. Турист - Туриста - Туриста (N - G - A) Whereas in inanimate objects, the endings for accusative and nominative are the same. Стол - Стола - Стол (N - G - A)

That was interesting! In English the word order isn't super-strict but we change the verb instead of the noun, so like "a crocodile ate a tourist" is equivalent to "a tourist was eaten by a crocodile". 😮 Hmm. "A tourist a crocodile ate" is also understandable, but then it sounds like the grammar of Yoda from Star Wars... odd, basically 😅 I like the sound of the Russian system. Thanks for the lesson! 😊

Cases in Russian exists, because they did not die, like in other languages.))) Proto-indoeuropean had (supposedly) eight cases, from which survived only six. Also, it is general mistake to say English has no cases. Because it has two: possesive and "everything else". ) ))

Russian is Indo-European language , I see many people from India learn Russian easy , Sometimes European people complain but I am 100 percent sure ,If the person whose native language is Italian ,Spanish ,French will be not difficult . Because Indo -European familly group, But there is one difference , Russian needs patience and slow process,because it has richer grammar, Other Indo -European language like Bulgarian lost “Cases rule “ because they were under “Ottomans “

Children don't learn a language the way adults learn. Most of the time, children learn their first language by imitating others and by doing a lot of practice. They don't really understand what's the technicality behind grammars. They just use the way others use it

German manages to have cases, articles, and super strict word order.

When you say “Джон убил джека”, doesn’t that mean that John killED Jack in the past..?

As a german native speaker. It is in german more flexible than in English. German was a bad example.

Practice enough and you do not have to "learn" cases; it will become second nature...I know, some rather old fashioned methods of teaching languages used to throw grammatics tables at you - not any more, luckily.

I think it"s sad how learners nowadays are lazy ... they want to learn a language but don't want the efforts. Lazy lazy and pathetic. I'm french and learning japanese too and it's hard. I read that some learners want to get rid of kanjis and write only in hiragana because it's easier. Learning a language is a long path and I can't stand this new generation of people who want to "learn" a language in 2 months. So no ... I would not say "whatever"
