Sounds like its raining, at least the weather is the same in all countries, we do´nt have to learn it. Thanks for your vids, almost easy to understand.
dustyacd Great catch, dustyacd - the 7-letter rule involves only the first 7 of these letters. I often present these 8 letters together so students can memorize all of the letters for all three spelling rules at once (see the video on spelling rules at ua-cam.com/video/Yp4VoIQ98pg/v-deo.html) but I neglected to grey out the last ц here. I've added an annotation to this video to clarify. Thanks!
I don't understand why, at 5:37, the endings aren't bl, bl, bl, N. Aren't the first three words hard and the last one soft? Also, at 4:45, why do those two have 'ep' in them, and is there a way to determine what other nouns will do that as well? thanks
1) Yes - at 5:37, Паша, папа, and дедушка do have hard stems, and Коля has a soft stem. So you might expect the ending for Паша and дедушка to be -ы, as in папы - but according to the 7-letter spelling rule, we never write -ы after г, к, х, ш, щ, ч, ж; instead, we write -и. This video (ua-cam.com/video/TSD18CufsEw/v-deo.html) walks you through how this spelling rule applies to adjective endings, but it applies to noun endings as well. There are three important spelling rules that always apply, so being familiar with them is really helpful for spelling endings correctly. This video (ua-cam.com/video/Yp4VoIQ98pg/v-deo.html) has an overview of which letters are involved in the three spelling rules, and a slightly silly mnemonic to help remember them. 2) At 4:45, мать and дочь are unique in that they have this -ер- in all forms *except* the nominative singular. I don't believe this happens with any other words in Russian. In fact, it's related to the -er in English "mother/daughter" and German "Mutter/Tochter" - as if we said in English "she's my daught," but "we have two daughters." Thanks for your attentive viewing! :)

If I may notice, at 5:01, the 7-letter spelling rule actually lists 8 letters?

sharp catch
@@russiangrammar And now UA-cam has removed annotations, why they did that I'll never know
@@harry_page i guess it looked unprofessional and it got annoying when videos had too many of them

ah, thank you very much
I do love your videos! BUT could you clarify the 7-letter spelling rule? You have 8 letters listed, not 7
okay, I just saw your earlier reply
