Easy Russian for life

🖐Hey guys!
Today we're going to talk about another wonderful place in Moscow (and a favorite place of our Russian teacher❤️) is park Kolomenskoe!
This one of the most popular places is situated in the northeast part of Moscow very near the Moscow river.☘️

The history of this place has begun since 14th century and it was the residence of old Russian kings (tsar').
In the 1528 there was built the 1️⃣Church of the Holy Ascension which will be loved by all connoisseurs of architecture. (What is on top of our list of MUST VISIT in Kolomenskoe).
Another enchanting place there is the Palace of Tsar Alexei Romanov which was completely made in wood by Russian and Dutch builders and where used to live Peter I.
Kolomenskoye Park is also associated with mystical events and has several mystical places.
According to legend, in this park there was a battle between George the Victorious and the Serpent in the Voice Ravine (which was named after the Slavic ancient god). The hero's horse fell in an unequal battle, and where he beat with his hoof - appeared springs with healing water, and where the horse's body fell down - appeared stones with endowed with magical power (you can see them on the photos in this post).
Also you can find here plenty of gardens which are the most beautiful the spring and summer.

Hey guys!
We did the poll the previous week and learned that most people want to find out more about "deep Russian soul" and how to understand Russians =)
If you like the post, don't forget to save it, write your thoughts about Russian mentality and send it to other Russians' lover😅
It is very difficult to talk about specialties if you talk about your country, but let's try =) The rubric is called "Deep Russian soul". Let's go!
Today we talk about 5 pecularities of Russian mentality:
1. We don't have second name but we have patronymic.
Yes yes, we all have it. A patronymic is the father's name for example: if a woman's name is Алёна and her father's name is Владимир then her full name is Алёна Владимировна. The same with men, for example: if man's name is Сергей and his father's name is Олег then he is Сергей Олегович.
2. Russians never smile.
Yes, the Russian people have such a peculiarity of not smiling on the street or smiling at strangers. It came from Rus time, from the expression of "Смех без причны - признак дурачины" what means if you laugh without any reasons so, probably you are a fool.
3. Philosophical conversations.
Russians truly love philosophical conversations! For us, this is a sign of the mind and openness of a person. You can start talking about the weather and end up with origins pf your great-grandfather and why he sold his farmhouse in the south of Russia 😆.
4. Unhealthy Lifestyle.
Unfortunally yes, Russian have their own life style and eating way. In Russia, it is usual to eat a lot in the evening and sometimes refuse breakfast and lunch, drink a lot of coffee and drink a lot of alcohol (especially if we talk about the previous generation). There are just a few % vegetarians in Russia. Russian people eat a lot of meat (which is not of the best quality here) and few fruits and vegetables. A typical dinner can be sausages, pasta and tea with sugar.
5. Всё на авось.
Авось came from the old Russian language and means that a person does something and supposes that it will work out by a chance or the situation will resolve on its own. This often applies to health, relationships, and work.

Hey guys! 🤝
Today we have a very useful topic about the verbs of movement. 🔥
Most foreigners don't understand 🤷🏼‍♀️why we need it and why we have to use them. But it is very easy 👩🏼‍🏫
See👀
We have 2 types of movement in Russian: to one-directional➡️ (to one side) and there and back↔️ (shows a regularly movement). And that what we should remember when we decline these verbs☝️.
For example:
1️⃣бежать - to run (one direction) —> Я бегу в магазин (I am running to the store)
2️⃣бегать - to run (do something regulary) —> Я бегаю по-утрам (I run in the morning)
or
1️⃣ехать - to go (by a vehicle) —> Я еду домой (I go home)
2️⃣ездить - to go (also by a vehicle) —> Я езжу на работу (I go to work)
📌Let's learn the most useful verbs of movement:
1️⃣идти - ходить (go or walk, mean on foot)
2️⃣лезть - лазать (climb)
3️⃣нести - носить (carry)
4️⃣лететь - летать (fly)

Hey guys! 🖖🏻
Today we’re going to talk about most common conjunctions and prepositions in Russian 🇷🇺
Let’s start!
Most common conjunctions:
1️⃣И - and. For example: Я и мой друг - I and my friend.
Btw, «да» - also can be used like “and”! For example: Мама да папа - mother and father. But be careful, don’t use this conjunction very often. Usually it shows old version of Russian and we use it quite rare.
2️⃣ Но - but. It is very simple and completely the same like in English. Я люблю кофе, но без сахара - I like coffee but without sugar.
3️⃣Также - also, too. It is very tricky conjunction because it has “brother” так же - which has different meaning 🤯
4️⃣Почти - almost. It’s very simple conjunction and you can use it like in English 💙
5️⃣Конечно - sure. Also use it like in English ;)

Most common prepositions:
1️⃣Без - without
2️⃣Над - above
3️⃣Около - near
4️⃣Для - for
5️⃣Из-за - because

Hey guys! 🤚
Today we’re going to talk about Nominative case ❇️ in Russian language.
It is the easiest case in Russian where nouns are in the dictionary form📚
But anyway let’s learn how to decline verbs in this case.
We have 7 pronouns in Russian:
Я - I
Ты - you
Он - He
Она - She
Мы - We
Вы - you (formal)
Они - they

So, let’s look how to decline verbs after them. For example, let’s take the verb: знать - to know.
Я знаю
Ты знаешь
Он знает
Она знает
Мы знаем
Вы знаете
Они знают

Look at the endings of these words! -ть in the firs version of the word “to know” - знаТЬ, shows is that the verb in infinitive form and when you want to need to change pronouns you have to change endings.
Let’s try with the verb
To play - играть.
Can you decline it?⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hey guys!🥘
As we promised, today we’re going to talk about Russian cuisine.🍲
Be careful, this post causes a wild desire to eat something 😅
Let’s start with breakfast 🥞:
1️⃣ Сырники (syrniki). This dish includes tvorog, flour, eggs, sugar. Then we fry it in a pan until the outside becomes crispy. Nyam nyam.
2️⃣Каша (kasha). Kasha can be made out of any grain, like millet, semolina, oatmeal and rice.
3️⃣Блины (blini). Looks like tiny pancakes 🥞You can eat them with any kind of berries, jam, chocolate. It isn’t just a dessert! It also can be like a main dish if you cook blini with meat 🍖 or cheese 🧀

Soups🍲
1️⃣Окрошка (okroshka). This soup is usually made with boiled potatoes, eggs, onions, ham with a liquid base which is usually lava or kefir. We love to eat this cooling soup on a hot day in summer.
2️⃣Уха (Ukha). The main fish soup in Russia. It’s cooked using freshly caught fish.
3️⃣Борщ (borsch). The most popular soup in Russia! Borsch can be made with or without meat, though it usually contains beef 🥩. Veg borsch is usually called - постный.

Salads 🥗
1️⃣Оливье (Olivier). The most popular salad on New Year’s Eve. There are boiled eggs, potatoes, onions, chicken breasts, peas. All these cut into small pies and mixer with mayonnaise 💙
2️⃣Селёдка под шубой (herring in a fur coat). It’s a layered salad with diced herring, then usually strips of potatoes, carrots, eggs and finally beetroot. Mayonnaise is also pit between each layer.
3️⃣Холодец (kholodets). It’s an aspic type of dish of pieces of meat set in transparent jelly and served cold, usually with horseradish or mustard.

These are ones of the most popular Russian dishes. Which ones have you already tried? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hey friends!🇷🇺
Today we’re going to talk about declension of adjectives by genders.🤓
1️⃣feminine gender.
Usually words in this gender have a/я at the end. Adjectives also have to change at the end.
For example:
Новый - new
Новая книга - a new book 📖 As you can see - ый, changes on -ая.
2️⃣masculine gender.
That the easiest one because usually we learn adjectives exactly in this gender:
Старый - old
Старый стол - old table
3️⃣ neutral gender.
It usually end on -ое:
Высокий - tall
Высокое дерево. As you can see we also have to change -ий to -oe, when we have a neutral gender object or subject ☝️
