    Love this lesson! You know how you read about something, watch videos about it, but you don't really get it. And then you see this video, and boom... everything starts making sense. (Except, you might flinch when a virtual punch comes your way :-D). Thank you, Antonia.

    Мимо этой вишни, мимо этой хаты, парень бравый в первый раз идёт.
    The Instrumental case in all its glory. :)

    After four years, my russian books had gathered enough dust for me to give this mysterious and confusing language a second try. Thanks to these videos, I might actually do it... WITH PASSION. Then I will traverse Russia by train and say "let's get cracking" to every person I meet. But first I will get cracking on this language. Keep up the good work! You give a lot of great explanations, and it sounds a lot like you have a background in linguistics.

    It is the fifth case in the Russian case system and it is used quite often in the Russian language so we need to know it quite well.
    Hello my dear friends! Welcome to “Russian with passion”. My name is Antonia Romaker and today we are going to talk about the instrumental case in the Russian
    Language. We have talked already about nominative, genitive, dative ,and accusative cases. So it's high time we talked about the instrumental case and today we get to do it . So let's get cracking !
    First of all I will tell you about the functions of this particular case. After that we'll
    talk about the forms, and at the end you'll have a short exercise to practice.
    The “instrumental case” is used to talk about the instrument with the help of
    which an action is performed.
    For example:
    -To write with a pen.
    Писать ручкой.
    Pisat' ruchkoy.
    -To go by bus.
    Ехать автобусом.
    Yekhat' avtobusom.
    Most commonly, when we use the instrumental case in English we are supposed to use the following propositions: “by, with, by means of .”
    In Russian in this case there are no prepositions and this is what's interesting. Usually here we are talking about the means, manner or agent which helps you perform the action.
    For example:
    -To cut with a knife.
    Резать ножом.
    Rezat' nozhom.
    -To write with a pencil.
    Писать карандашом.
    Pisat' karandashom.
    -To eat soup with a spoon.
    Есть суп ложкой .
    Yest' sup lozhkoy .
    -To paint with paints
    Рисовать красками.
    Risovat' kraskami.
    -To punch/hit someone with a fist
    Ударить кулаком.
    Udarit' kulakom.

    Also there are several prepositions which are most commonly used with the ‘Instrumental case’ in Russian .
    Firstly the preposition “C” -usually it's translated as “WITH “ and in this case it means : Accompanied by or Together with .
    For example:
    -Coffee with milk.
    Кофе с молоком.
    Kofe s molokom.
    -Borsch with sour cream.
    Борщ со сметаной.
    Borshch so smetanoy.

    There is a rule that if after the preposition “C” [s] there is a word
    starting with two or more consonants, then you are supposed to use “CO”[so] instead
    of “C”[s].
    -Borsch with sour cream.
    Борщ со сметаной.
    Borshch so smetanoy.

    Сметанa[sour cream] has two consonants {CM}at the very beginning of
    the word. That's why we say: Борщ со сметаной. [ Borshch so smetanoy.]

    Also we use the preposition “C” when we talk about two people who accompany each other- so two people who do something together, in this case in English we say “AND “ . We use the conjunction “AND”.
    While in Russian we are supposed to use the preposition “C”.
    For example:
    Sergey and his wife.
    Сергей с женой.
    Sergey s zhenoy.
    **
    In Russian we do not need to say:
    Сергей с его женой.
    Sergey s yevo zhenoy.
    It is already quite clear that it is his wife.
    -She and her brother.
    Она с братом.
    Ona s bratom.
    Once again we do not say:
    Она с его братом.
    Ona s yevo bratom.

    We omit the possessive adjectives.

  • @jeffm9227
    @jeffm9227 7 років тому

    Спасибо, Антония! Вопрос... I notice that you don't pronounce the prepositions ending in as even though they are at the end. Is this because prepositions are always be considered "connected" to the following noun for pronunciation purposes, like "перед музеем" rather than "перет музеем"?

    • @AntoniaRomaker
      @AntoniaRomaker  6 років тому

      The neighbouring sounds often influence each other. Af for prepositions often the first sound of the word following influences the last sound of the preposition. So you say под окном, not пот окном. The same goes for the example you gave ;)

    The way you explain is extraordinary. I learned with you more russian in a week than english in a half year in school.
    There is stil one thing I do not undersatand in your explanation
    You always say that one letter is "stress" or not . .Could you explain to me in a few word what that means.
    Or maybe there is a video to explain that issue becouse whan I hear this exprasion in a sentence I get in the mist and I do not understand rhe rule and when I have to use it.. So when a consonant or a vowel is "stressed"? When a letter is stressed?
    . Thank you very much for helping me with everything.

    Good day my favorite teacher Antonia Romaker, I follow your videos regularly, I found them very useful.
    Yet, I have a suggestion or rather a request to make to you.
    Please Antonia, try to speak in Russian only or, at least, mostly. This helps us to improve our listening and vocabulary in Russian. I have a list of UA-cam teachers who speak only in Russian, or they do not use English but rarely.
    I can mention teachers like: Anastasia Semina, Ira, Tatiana Klimova, Stanislav Chernyshov, Maria Petrova, Olga Geral, Max, etc.
    This monolingual method, to teach Russian through Russian itself, helps the learner to improve his knowledge about the language.
    The bilingual method may help the begginers, but not the intermediate nor the advanced students, for this reason, I suggest that you make videos only, or at least mostly, in Russian.

    @user-bp6dq9yw2f 3 роки тому


    As for the verb Быть [Byt']= to be, it's not used in present- it's
    usually skipped in Russian present . We do not use any verb in this meaning when we , well, when we mean “to be”. But in the past and in future we use the verb
    “to be “ which and in this case you are supposed to use the instrumental case after this verb.
    Examples:
    -She works as a teacher at a university.
    Она работает преподавателем в университете .
    Ona rabotayet prepodavatelem v universitete .
    -He is interested in arts.
    Он интересуется искусством .
    On interesuyetsya iskusstvom .
    -He will be the next president of our country.
    Он будет следующим президентом нашей страны .
    On budet sleduyushchim prezidentom nashey strany .
    Now we are going to take a look at the forms and after that we'll practice as I
    have promised. So let's take a look at the rules:
    The instrumental of singular nouns
    Nominative singular Remove Add Instrumental
    masculine брат
    чай
    папа --
    й
    а ом
    ем
    ой братом
    чаем
    папой
    neuter окно
    море о
    е ом
    ем окном
    морем
    feminine ночь
    вода ь
    а ью
    ой ночью
    водой
    Explanation of the table:
    Add -ом to masculine nouns ending in a consonant (брат) and neuter nouns ending in -o (окно).
    Add -ем to masculine nouns ending in -й, -ь (чай, учитель) and neuter nouns ending in -е (море, орудие).
    Add -ей to feminine and masculine nouns ending in -я (тётя, дядя).
    Add -ой to feminine and masculine nouns ending in -a (вода, папа).
    Add -ью to feminine nouns ending in -ь (ночь).

    Thank you very much for the video. With the last example, number 10, you wrote, She has not been speaking "с своим парнем" Is своим necessary because earlier you mentioned with instrumental case, like with her husband, it was not necessary, like она с мужем .

    • @AntoniaRomaker
      @AntoniaRomaker  8 років тому

      +wolfbronski97 Yes, as for the word "парень", it can mean simply a guy, a boy, a fellow. That's why you need to specify "со своим парнем" not with some guy, but with her boyfriend.

    The Instrumental Case
    The instrumental case is used in the sentences like "Я пользуюсь... машиной, домом, водой" (I make use of ... a car, house, water). The nouns in the instrumental answer such questions as Кем? Чем?.
    Я восхищаюсь чем? Я восхищаюсь его талантом. - (literally)
    By what am I admired? I admire his talent.
    Катя работает кем? Катя работает врачом. - (literally)
    As who does Katya work? Katya works as a doctor.
    The instrumental case is called so because it is used to describe the instrument by which and action is performed. For example: забивать гвоздь молотком (to drive in a nail with a hammer), писать ручкой (to write with a pen), ехать автобусом (to go by bus).
    Using the Instrumental Case
    The instrumental case is widely used to describe one's job - Я работаю учителем (I work as a teacher), Отец был рабочим (The father was a worker).
    It is also used in space and time phrases. For example: ехать полем (to go through the field), проснуться утром (to wake up in the morning), вернуться летом (to come back in summer).
    The instrumental case is used after such prepositions as за (behind), между (between), над (over), перед (in front of), под (under), c (with). For example:
    за домом behind the house
    над столом over the table
    перед рекой in front of the river
    под водой under water
    с учителем with the teacher

      It is a quote from a song, right? The original idiom is голова кругом, and it means that your head is spinning. The phrase голова винтом is a personal metaphor, so it's not used much by Russian speakers.

    I've found a very odd usage of the instrumental case to be in sentences like these:
    Я - пилот. (I'm a pilot) No instrumental
    Yet, inexplicably ...
    Я был пилотом. (I was a pilot.)
    Я буду пилотом. (I will be a pilot.)

    For #2, I said пошли instead of ходили because they were going to a specific place, i.e., to the club - not just wandering about. I always get this wrong, it seems. I get very confused between the use of the verbs идти and ходить. The good news is that I had no difficulty with the instrumental case. (By the way, does the word парень, in Russian, imply boyfriend - as in a romantic relationship - as opposed to a friend who happens to be a boy - non-romantic relationship?) Good lesson!

    • @AntoniaRomaker
      @AntoniaRomaker  8 років тому

      +David Emerling идти usually means a continuous action, the one which is happening at a particular moment and ходить describes a regular, repeated action
      парень can mean both - some guy, a boyfriend

    I don't understand why you use instrumental case with prepositions which logically entail location.
    Why would you use instrumental case after the word 'in front of' or 'under' when these words inherently refer to the location of something.
    Whichever noun that follows these prepositions, how are they're instrumental to anything? They don't describe the means, they don't help the action or anything.
    Could you clarify? Seems really illogical and thus confusing to me.

    There's one more interesting thing here .
    If we want to say that you are doing something with somebody else instead of
    saying : “My mom and I” , you should say:
    Мы с мамой.
    My s mamoy.
    So, well, practically you are saying “We with my mom “. That's how we say it in
    Russian. We don’t say:
    My mom and I.
    Моя мама и я.
    Moya mama i ya.
    Usually we say:
    Мы с мамой.
    My s mamoy.
    Literal translation “We with mum “, but practically we mean “My mom and I”.
    Other examples:
    My friends and I.
    Мы с друзьями.
    My s druz'yami.
    -My colleagues and I.
    Мы с коллегами.
    My s kollegami.
    -My husband and I.
    Мы с мужем.
    My s muzhem.
    If you want to use the exact phrase “together with” then you can say:
    Вмecтe c=together with[vmeste s]
    -I wrote this story together with my sister .
    Я написалa этот рассказ с сестрой.
    YA napisala etot rasskaz s sestroy.

    There are some other prepositions which are used with the instrumental case .
    Перед =In front of
    Pered
    Над = Over
    Nad
    За = Behind
    Za
    Между =Between
    Mezhdu
    Под= Under
    Pod
    For example:
    Between two trees.
    Между двумя деревьями.
    Mezhdu dvumya derev'yami
    Under the table.
    Под столом.
    Pad stolom.
    Behind the house.
    За домом.
    Za domom.

    There is a list of verbs after which you are also supposed to use
    the instrumental case :
    Заниматься=to do/to be engaged in activity
    Zanimat'sya
    Интересоваться =to be interested in
    Interesovat'sya
    Работать =to work as
    Rabotat'
    Пользоваться =to use
    Pol'zovat'sya
    Становится = to become
    Stanovitsya
    Управлять = to manage
    Upravlyat'
    Являться = to appear
    Yavlyat'sya
    Быть = to be

    Antonia, in "борщ со сметаной", you pronounce the last word as "сметанИЙ/ЫЙ" rather than "сметанАЙ". I have also heard another native Russian speaker pronounce "етой" like "етИЙ/ЫЙ" rather than "етАЙ". Why is that? Are we not supposed to prononunce the unstressed "o" like "a"? Especially since you pronounce "с братом" like "братАМ" - so here this rule holds. You obviously pronounce these sounds correctly, I just do not understand why sometimes the unstressed "o" does not seem to be articulated as "a". Many thanks for explaining this little point:)
