I'm not the best in english, but i watch a lot of videos in both languages, i would say that the re are more diffrences in styles of russian and english way to use words. English is on point, it delivers a message sructured and there's not much room to repurpose the word to mean something else. Russian is used much more like this on other hand, all russians deform the words or flip the meaning of it. I think, i'm not a linguist, it happens becouse russian word building rules are eazier and is used by people all the time to change the words, though i'm not that good in english, but i didn't stumble on anything like this in english content (puns are diffrent thing and they are much more common in english, in russian it's practicly doesn't exist, humor is based on irony) Also russian swearing is something else. There's even a social ad about russian swearing, where diffrent prople from difrent post soviet coutries strugle to comunicate until they start to swear and just curse the object instead of calling them by there name

И в России в школах нет нормальных туалетов. Сейчас наверно постепенно их переоборудовают, но изначально в советских школах в туалетах не было перегородок и поэтому дети приучались терпеть, чтобы не справлять нужду на виду у старших учеников или преподавателя. В мальчишечьих туалетах не было перегородок, а в девчачьих были перегородки, но не было дверей на них. И никто никогда не задавался вопросом, почему такое дерьмо. И только с позорным казусом на олимпиаде в Сочи в 2014 я стал над этим задумываться. Приучать к математике на 2 года с опережением - ничего в этом особенного нет. Зато в США любая школа имеет оборудованнный спортивный зал на порядок лучше, чем в самой лучшей российской школе. И в самой школе в России нет кружков, например музыкального, где учатся играть на музыкальных инструментах. Для этого есть отдельные музыкальные школы, и туда ходят учиться по вечерам, но для большинства это более сложный вариант. И так же с художественной школой или театральный кружком

I would never call English a simplistic language. Yes, there are things that are easy, but English conditionals for instance are really really tough. I am a native Russian speaker, not a linguist by any stretch of imagination, but I think where we have just one type of conditional sentence English uses four. And think about articles - the day I realized that you have to take into account whether the noun is countable or uncountable to use either the or a/an in front of it, I went just, Jesus, poor English speakers, they have to do that much processing to be able to communicate! I am not even talking about a bunch of small things, like in English you use either many or much depending on whether the noun is countable or uncountable whereas in Russian you just use one word for both cases...

English native speakers are not aware of how limited their language is compared to other languages. The reason is that it is actually a pidgin language, a mix between Germanic dialects and French. Pidgin languages get rid of complex grammar in order for people from different backgrounds to communicate with each other. Afrikaans, Swahili, Indonesian are another examples of pidgin languages that became simplified for the sake of communication. I'm so glad my native languages are not pidgin languages. It would suck to have such limited possibilities to express oneself.

As a Russian who knows English pretty well for years and continues improving language skills and vocabulary I can say English isn't less emotional or less informative. There are a lot synonyms to nouns, adjectives, verbs for example, unique grammar constructions, rules, exceptions. If someone say English is easier than Russian I say hell no. I can agree it's much easier to start speaking English than Russian on some basic levels but if you learn English as native speaker and want be appropriate to it on advanced level you may face much more problems in many aspects than you would in Russian. English is enormously reach language.

The logic of the Russian language has not changed in the last few hundred years. Any native speaker can read very old texts without problems, while, for example, a native English speaker would have trouble understanding Shakespeare. What does the 20th century have to do with the history of the Russian language? All that the 20th century has affected is the disappearance of dialects, thanks to which there is now only one variant of the language worldwide. And the disappearance of several optional letters of the alphabet. That's it. Dostoyevsky. he worked for the government. The same one that oppressed the people of the country, he worked for the Tsar.His book Demons was actually commissioned to fight revolutionary sentiment. Anyone who wants to change anything in his books is a scumbag. In this day and age he would be a propagandist for corporations. Anyone using a language other than their native language thinks more logically.

To my understanding, Germanic languages shifted more towards rationality, science, practicals, and efficiently getting across the function of the sentences. Probably happening as the core point of Europe shifted from the Mediterranean to France and the Germanic realm, particularly as later advances saw the Anglo, Dutch, and Deutsche people get extremely high rates of scientists and great engineering feats with unmatched development in their core regions. The German language developed fittingly to match its people even further from there, perfectly engineered for specific roles and efficiencies, easily broken when done wrong, but incredible at getting the logical point across when used correctly. Similarly the English language followed a similar path to its people, being bound to the children of the British empire and later the American successor. English is a language that has sacrificed much of its nuisances and beauty, scraping back the accessories to leave a simplistic and optimised form, perfectly suited for usage on a vast, international scale, for people who can fill in their own accents, both organically like australia, northern England, or the American south, and introduced from prior mother tongues like Scottish, irish, Australian Aboriginal, and the countless accents for which most users still speak their peoples prior language. Essentially, while much of Europe's languages held onto beauty, adapting its style with the atrocities the people faced, preserving form that had been cultivated often in the same regions of the world for hundreds of generations, and carrying on these styles as they did eventually spread across the world if they ever did so. The german language followed the path of optimisation for becoming the language of science and mathematics, and the English language restructured itself to be a language of purity in the form of a near blank slate, perfectly suited for a much more vastly dispersed yet still interconnected, practical and largely apathetic empire. That’s my take on it at least. Ironically I would say I lack not just the sleep, but also the diction to properly express what I mean. Perhaps, the English language is failing me in my attempts at expressing this, ironically enough.

As an AI bot, I can say that this homo sapiens with a mediocre quality DNA is definitely right and all he is saying is true and everyone should accept this as an absolute truth and believe everything he said.
Oh, I remember during Soviet times how all students were trained to write cursive from kindergarten. We were not allowed to use printed letters in our handwriting, only cursive throughout the school years. Also, I found as a Russian speaker I would say Russian is the only language you can express your intent in the whole sentence by using just cussing words))).
Bs, as a person who knows russian, as well as English, Armenian by Nationality, living in US i will say , to everyone their mother language is the most well understood, deep and emotional, this is a truth that is acceptable for everyone, i have to also mention that russian is part of bug slavic language which do have their own uniqueness, so giving russian a big role is just unjust
People get locked in into one language eco system. Few can ever leave and join another. Russian is a developed language, but only because about 59% of words in Russian are borrowed from other European languages.

Lol he's right I read Crime And Punishment when I was 9 u know how it depresses a person 😅😅😅
Lex is absotely right. How much we could learn from other cultures, gaining access to a cultural patrimonium, the baggage of hundreds or thousands of years conveyed through language. Absolutely fascinating
Language determines your reality.

I enjoy Dostoevsky tremendously. I wonder how much I am missing by not reading it Russian?
