hello everyone Darren here and today
we're gonna talk about Russian nouns

let's begin so what is a noun and noun
names a person and animal thing

phenomenon may be substance
all of those are nouns and Russian nouns

have several features that I want you to
know about and one of them is gender

gender is our today's topic and in
Russian it's wrote wrote remember our

pronunciation lesson for the last week
we don't say role do we say what roots

okay so genders in Russian we have three
genders guess what masculine of course

feminine and loiter loiter feminine
masculine let's talk a little bit about

masculine and feminine first because
they are super easy

uh first way to understand which nouns
goes to which gender is to look if it's

a person if it's a man
obviously it's he masculine if it's a

woman obviously
well sometimes especially today it's not

that obvious anymore but still if it's a
woman it's she so let's write down our

personal pronouns one stands for he
masculine o stands for she feminine and

Allah Allah means it loiter loiter or
pewter Idol even confusing with German

know-it-all so one Anna know if it's a
person it's a

human being and you can see that it's a
man it goes too masculine it's heat for

example the word man write it down
please and repeat after me

no Sheena because it's a very interest
in the word it's pretty difficult to

pronounce it as Morici 'no because those
two it's difficult to put them together

mussina mussina when you try fast it's
becoming kind of too much effort

so you pronounce it as mussina mussina
mussina mussina and of course it's a man

doing it right translation for you
mashina man same with the words like mmm

obviously Papa cannot be a woman Papa
because mama is a woman bah bah of

course he is masculine one papa same
with the word uncle Dada

repeat after me yeah uh let's see yeah
yeah yeah oh it's so difficult to write

like that
Dada means uncle uncle drj Papa machinae

what else my chick a boy in general my
cheek my cheek a boy my cheek write them

down and don't forget about the stress
Marchak giardia papa machinist Oh

everyone who is a man masculine own so
same here when it's about a woman let's

get rid of this for some time we don't
need it now

if it's something connected with a woman
in China

Mussina trinchina a woman real she Rena
Rena about pronunciation remember that

hard consonants followed by soft
consonants become soft themselves ring

Sheena if you forgot about it
watch the previous lesson Rena Rena

it's a woman of course in China is
feminine Anna in China

mama of course is feminine as well mama
mama

feminine giardia same with kya and two
cha-cha-cha

Georgie remember that your is always
stressed Georgia this and okay and Gia

Huachuca
dear watch kaam kar diya vodka it's not

like some German language where D
America is newer does Nathan for

Russians it's like big
surprised just mention in Russian it's

feminine Allah dia vodka but it's
obvious with these words but also when

it comes to words like professor student
or I don't know doctor when you see the

person you understand usually in most
cases if it's a man or if it's a woman

so you can understand which pronoun to
choose which word to choose so this is

the first way to understand if it's
masculine or it's a if it's feminine

depending on which person it denotes
write it down so that was pretty easy

right man a woman feminine masculine
it's obvious now I have a bad piece of

news for you all the objects around us
whiteboard

I don't know haired or table everything
has gender French people German people

they know this stuff but for English
speakers might be a little bit tricky

but the good news is that's a plus the
good news is that Russian genders are

super easy to remember it's a piece of
cake all you need to do is to look at

the ending of the word so let's get two
examples masculine call consonants or

you if a word you see some word if it
ends on the consonants or you short e

actually you is consonant too but for
some reason usually they show it like

that
so consonant in the ending or you it's

masculine let's practice for example
stole a table stool uh-huh stole

table table still okay geez what's going
on here

okay table never mind never mind let's
pretend it never happened

so just write down the word table stole
look at the ending here we have a

consonant loop means that it's masculine
spool 1-1 in English table is it it

right in Russian it's he one stool get
used to it from the very first lesson

because it's a huge problem for English
speakers they have huge troubles naming

the objects addressing the objects
inanimate objects with all Anna it's

difficult for them so stole one and
actually have a batterer word for

example and in with all jail if one of
course telephone telephone telephone you

see one till the phone on telephone
telephone on super easy again consonant

OOP in the ending so telephone same with
the word microphone let's write it down

- why not me crow remember the
pronunciation and don't ask me why I'm

pronounced added as a microphone because
we already know when stress and goes

here this one turns to a microphone
again

look at the ending here is a consonant
oh so how about

some other word museum mu z yi you see
what's in the ending in the end we have

you means it's masculine one movie yeah
why not

Oh what else what else maybe mm-hmm
Factory I don't know why I'm bringing it

just four examples of what Factory the
what

remember about reduction the wood uh
yeah factory it's a man in Russian won

the war as a wood
so oh now I want you just to understand

that concept in the ending were you in
the end and all right so here is

masculine ah
now feminine nah you already know this

one uh nah it even sounds more feminine
nah like I know

same here if it's ah in the ending or
yeah oh yeah so feminine right we don't

even need to learn it so ah yeah in the
end in the ending for example why the

word snake is the first association I
have with feminine I'm having some

problems for sure but the snake is Miya
Miya Miya is look like worm

sneeze yeah yeah
in the end we have young means new yaw

is feminine Allah meeya for example you
have some colleague woman that you hate

and you say oh she's such a snake allah
is Miya Miya

ana well maybe winter winter e ma in
russian winter is z ma z ma repeat after

me please always repeat everything I'm
saying in Russian always repeat after me

okay if you need to pause the video
because I want to make every second of

this lesson count I want you to speak
constantly even if it's just repeating

some words so Z ma means winter in the
end we have ah ah Zima ah ah Zima or

easy word to remember a car in Russian
is mushy na na na mush I hope now you

can see the difference between my E and
yn mashina mashina marsinah look at the

ending it's not just ah it's na na
machine ah super easy to remember right

um na machine ah so mashina is she
machine and what else a book nigga nigga
