my name is Fedor week four 50 words per week and today we're going to have some months some question words some country names and some city names Etc and then we're also going to have just maybe like 15 different verbs that we're going to learn today so a lot to learn as always but I want to take this time and say if you have been studying these words for 3 weeks for now 50 words every single week I hope that by now you are seeing the difference you have seen the outcome of your hard labor of these vocabulary words and I hope that by now you understand Russian more can express much more and things like that and if you have put this sentence in the comments yeah I diligently am doing the vocabulary or I'm diligently taking care of VAB it's a great sentence that you can say about yourself and it's a good way for me to know who is actually been studying these 50 words every single week first is just watching this video and forgetting about it okay put this sentence right here in the comments so I can know and you can be proud if you're putting this sentence right here in the comments and now let's move on to set number four week number four as always this set is available on be fluent if you're a member already you can add this set to your vocabulary right now and just go through some practical things through some exercises to make sure that this this information sticks in your memory for a long long time if you're not a member yet the first link will take you to the free trial for 7 days you can try our platform out and see if you like it or not and now let's move on to the actual words for this week first again like I said months is January Fe is February FAL then we have Mar for March Mar then we have a for April ail my for May May but this I here is pronounced as a in English it's more like sound but in Russian it's my for June Eun the difficulty here comes with this uun you have to make sure that you have this sound there Eun and for July and that sound UL is very important it adds structure to that word because otherwise it's very like soft letters all the rest e is very soft but adding this y adds it a bit more of that hardness and that structure AUST for August AUST this V is different from English AUST AUST for September o for October o for November and for December it's very important that you know how to pronounce these words correctly because they're very similar to English they can be a positive thing and a negative thing it's a positive because you can immediately know which month it is if you simply see it in the text but negative part of it is that you have to get rid of your familiar sound of the English word and replace that with a Russian sound or with the Russian pronunciation of the same month which can be tricky it's hard to replace an already familiar thing to something similar versus having a completely new word for it so for these months it's important that you go through pronunciation of them and just reading them one after another after another to get familiar with the new sounds for months now let's go on to some question words that we can use to ask some crucial crucial questions number one is g g where G even though it's a short word it's not that easy to pronounce g two very hard consonants g g next is how kak how did you do this how did it look kak kak is which one Gago is when we describe a certain characteristic of something so kakoy is asked when we asking like which type of ice cream would you like vanilla or chocolate kaky which type of them which characteristic of them in other words kagda is when kagda and this word kagda it's a very important word for our pronunciation for a lot of Learners it's common to Simply pronounce this word kagda as more of like a timid KDA with not as much of kagda this kind of song almost coming out of your mouth when you say kagda but make sure when you have this word in the sentence you give it some air you give it some freedom to kind of fly off Gaga pronounce it with bit more of that Airy kind of feel to it Gaga two great a letters that give it a bit more volume gag then we have is who as you can tell KAG is a bit more like that free word but it's hard to say right it's a bit more reserved as a pronunciation so for this one it's not going to be the same thing but means who is where to is when we have a direction of some sort where are you going to G that we had before is where location but K is where Direction Where are we directed ATA is going to be the same thing but where from where where are you coming from so not like Direction this way but Direction this way then we have bimu bimu means why bimu not bimu is explaining our reasoning not the outcome of our action not what for but why are you doing this what made you do it but not like the outcome that you are going to receive from a certain action then we have squa means how much or how many ska in Russian we have we don't we don't have a difference between how many quantifiable or how much non-quantifiable or vice versa no how much non-quantifiable how many quantifiable it's all going to be SK ska and last for question words is means what if actually if you didn't hear somebody you can say and it's going to be enough for you to say what what did you say like that now let's move on to some names of countries or country related things first of course is Ria Russia is Russia Russia and again for the pronunciation Ria this e adds a bit a bit of more of that like length and song like pronunciation Ria don't just leave it at R it's too reserved too limited Ria then we have MVA MVA the same thing we have two US mosa also added add some air to add some volume to it mosa Ruble is a rubble it's the currency that we have in Russia Ruble and actually it's one rouble as well Peterburg is Petersburg Peterburg you will see this Peterburg a lot by itself of course the four city name is sank Peterburg but sank Peterburg is is very hard to pronounce even for natives so a lot of the times you will see peterb just by itself peterb s USA make sure that you pronounce this as not allog together it's an abbreviation we cannot say cannot say that almost as if it's spelled with five letters like that of course is Germany Germania again as you can see the has this e Germania a bit more of that flowing is to it eopa is Europe eopa eopa America for of course America America if it's used by itself typically refers to the US America just like we say if we say America nobody thinks of South America North America by itself America is typically assumed to be the US W but of course America as award can also be a part of South America North America then we have Fran frania is France frania Kai is China Kai as you can see it's a very different word compared to English Kai then we have ukra ukraina means Ukraine ukraina again Ukraine and ukra that's a bit of a difference there too Asia for Asia Asia Africa for Africa of course Africa Belia for belus Belia but also another word almost is belus Belia or belus are both words in Russian language that can be used to talk about bellus now I'm not from bis and I'm not sure about all the rules where you supposed to say Belia or just simply belus I don't know the distinction really and if you do in fact put it in the comments I would love to be educated as well because for my whole life I would say both Belia and belus now let's move on to some verbs again as always verbs that convey so much meaning we can never just get by without these words first is cist cist means to sit down cist and cist it signifies a change of States you were standing or lying down now you sat down so it's an action of getting seated okay is to be reading great word BR means to take brat when you're taking something brat but in the English to take has many more meanings than this brat think of brat as more of a literal translation of to take something and to take this microphone to take this phone not to take a picture that's more of figurative meaning but to take grab something means to begin means to ask a favor now is to ask a question two different things they have the same exact stem but different meaning what means to ask a question is to exit then we have means to call or to name something or some body it can be to name your newborn baby it can be to name a business it can be anything great question is K how what is this called great great phrase for you guys to use as well means to reply to answer or to reply means to go away or to leave this prefix adds a meaning of to leave for a certain time mostly within the context of a sentence to leave and not plan to return now if UK is used like oh he left the office of course he's going to come back tomorrow but within this context of our conversation he left okay is used for thatas means to tell a story SP would be to sleep spot and finally igat is to play igat and that's all 50 a wordss for this week again learn them
