For those Americans who do not understand that Russian names can be read in different ways. For example, Nikolai is the full name (in polite form), and Kolya is the same name, only in colloquial form. Likewise with the rest. Pavel - Pasha, Daniil - Danya, Dmitry - Dima and so on. Usually in films from America, Russian characters are called Nikolai, Viktors, and this is a little annoying. I'm from Russia by the way. Ну или всего хорошего.

Yes. Vlad = Vladislav. Is NOT Vladimir!Vladimir - Vova in Volodya; Vladislav - Vlad, Vladik in Russian, Vyacheslav - Slava/Slavik.

Юлия - Юля

The "short forms" are diminutive forms, making each formal name less formal. Vladimir is formal, whole Volodya is informal. Vova is an even shorter version, but Volodya (Володя). You listed all of my family members, lol. And everyone already said it, but Юлия is formal, while Юля is informal. Anywho, great job. I enjoy your videos!

Thanks kris , upload more videos. You learn russian in the best way🤟

Do one for last names and one for patronymics too! With declensions!

Hi Kris. I love your videos. Just a remark: the sound of the lesson is much quieter than the “theme music”, and the theme music hurts the ears. I look forward to more videos.

reading a lot of Russian literature & this helps so much

How Alexander becomes Саша: in earlier ages this name in Russian had full "tender forms" like "Алексаня" or "Алексаша" and later it's just "Саня" or "Саша". That's it, no big deal.

To understand short forms you have to understand one simple thing about russian word changing: russian word has "root" and suffixes, so even in names russian mind is trying to found "root" to make different forms out of it. That's it.

I would say that the "short" names aren't so much about shortening as they are about being informal. There are names like Сережа and Виталик that are not shorter than the original. I would never call a person I just met Виталик unless I knew them or was introduced in an informal setting and it would be considered impolite if I did.

Very informative lesson, thank you! One thing I would suggest is getting a directional microphone so the viewers can hear your pronunciation better. Right now, it is super quiet even when my volume is maxxed out.

Well, Юлия - Юля. I cannot tell, for example, my TEACHER: "Good morning, YUL'A". I am younger OR / AND I am a student of my teacher. As if I talking without respect to someone, who smarter, maybe elder and teach me. If my teacher younger, than me or the same age, anyway i say YULIA, not YUL'A. Yulia - Юлия long version, for strangers, teachers etc. which you can saw in our passport or drive card. Often you should say it with last name (named by father, "otchestvo, отчество), like: Yulia Viktorovna Yul'a Юля - short, for friends, family and maybe some coworkers. And it will be veeery strange, if you say Yul'a Viktorovna.

Sound volume is low and some words written on the board are very small to read

Спасибо, что не забыл про Алексея

Thank you!

This is very helpful. Thanks a lot!

Не все так просто. Этих коротких форм для каждого имени в зависимости от возраста имени может быть до нескольких десятков. Все они они образуюся сокращанием какой-то части имени и/или добавлением суфикса и не всегда напрямую от канонического имени. Многие из этих форм происходят от других коротких форм, которые со временем по тем или иным причинам перестали использоваться или изменили свое назначение. Например древо преобразования имени Ольга (наследование описано навскидку): Ольга |-> Ольгуня |-> Ольгуся |-> Ольгуха |-> Ольгуша '-> Оля |-> Олька |-> Олюля | '-> Люля |-> Олюня | '-> Люня |-> Олюся | '-> Люся |-> Оляня |-> Оляша |-> Олёна | '-> Лёна |-> Лёля |-> Лёня `-> Ляля

Крис, слишком громкая заставка, у меня от неё соседи во всём подъезде просыпаются :)

Юлия - Юля

Chris, first of all, you do a great job because Russian names are a big mess sometimes even for Russians. And you your explanations are as logical as they can be and very clear. On the other hand, there are still some letters which can be pronounced more authentic. In the name “Denis”the first syllable sounds like “di”, not “de”. It may also sound like the first sound in word “yellow” or “Yeah!” Names such as Natasha, Sasha, Dasha have a consonant which is a little different from American “sh”. Try to put your tongue a little lower, not behind the upper teeth but between the open jaws and you’ll get it. Юлия has the short form Юля. The same rule with Tatiana. And Vlad is not always Vladislav, sometimes it is an independent name. There’s also one quite common Russian name that you might find interesting. It’s Sergey, stress on the second syllable. First of all, if you mispronounce it, this may sound as “sir gay” so be careful, in the first syllable it is “ye” sound, not “e” or /i/. Another fun fact is despite short form of it is Seryozha, teens and men prefer to be called “Seriy” which means “gray”.

Alphabets are not visible as it's not zoomed.

Некоторые короткие имена образуются от второго/третьего слога в полном имени: "АлекСАНдр" - "САНя" (САШа), "ЕвГЕНий" - "ЖЕНя", "НиКОЛай" - "КОЛя", "ВаЛЕРия" - "ЛЕРа"...

Kris, love your videos ) Very ineresting to watch being russian myself. Some of names you pronounce very good, some of them not :) In my opinion you put to much effort in pronouncing some russian names and words. It makes them sound much rudder then they usually are in russian. Many of them sound softer :) Just information to consider :) PS: You shuld never use "short names" to strangers or in some oficial conversation. That's extremly impolite! And be very careful using variations like Anechka, Vanechka, etc. In most situations it's inappropriate :)
