I think I'm here from a sixtysymbols video... in fact I just checked, I'm here because of a numberphile video. While I knew Brady had several channels before, finding this and several OTHER channels new to me was a breath of fresh air. Brady is a video making MACHINE! I hope these new to me channels will now get the views they deserve and Brady will make more of each... I swear Brady is the best thing on UA-cam.
She's put it in the diminutive. They're more commonly referred to as podstakanniki (подстаканники) - literally "under glasses" or glass stands, if you will. Technically the подстаканник is the metal stand in which the glass or "стакан" sits.
Thank you for this video; I am a recent American convert to the Russian Orthodox Church and am interested in Russian culture. Our church doesn't have a samovar but when I can afford it, I hope to buy them one. "Do svidaniya!"
In Finnish we have this word in the form "samovaari". It's funny to hear it described as exotic because it isn't exotic to me at all. But then again we live right next to Russia. And besides it sounds like a very Finnish word, although the meaning is sort of silly (it sounds like "samoava vaari" meaning "roaming grandpa"). The actual object isn't as common here, though.
It's a pity you never display the presenters names. But anyhow, she is very sypathetic, a woman I'd like to talk to about russian culture, since I'm a bit of a russophile person myself. It's such an old culture rich with traditions and art and a beautiful language really.
Languages using the Latin alphabet can be too, but it has to have a) fewer sounds than English does b) no large changes in pronunciation over time (as English did in the Great Vowel Shift), and c) fully assimilated any words it borrows from foreign languages. English fails on all three counts, but Spanish, Latin, and some other Latin Alphabet languages can and do achieve the same phoneticism as Cyrillic alphabet languages.
Они этот процесс не разделяют, т.е. заваривают чай в чайнике и из него же пьют. Плюс в Англии всегда чай пьют с молоком, поэтому если будете в этих местах и не хотите молока сразу говорите "No mink." или "Black tea"
ну зачем вы так?! радуйтесь что у человек вообще что-то может сказать. нельзя никого упрекать за акцент - это напрочь убивает всякое желание говорить на языке
That's so cool! I never knew how samovars worked before. It's wonderful how the definition of a simple word leads us to so much.
I feel glad that we're not the only country crazy about tea, and that there are people who take it even more seriously!

It's the best way to brew tea.It's really popular in Turkey...

My grandmother had them but i never asked her how is it called. In polish "podstawka pod szklanki" (stand - under - glass ) refer to beer mat.
The samovar is very much ingrained in Russian culture, but it is believed to have been a Persian invention.

i love how phoenetic Russian is!! just by simply knowing the alphabet i could read that :P

I still have the "original" one. :D Awesome thing. :3

i have come on this page from periodicvideos' video !
have you ?
YES!
Bravo! Trying to find one for myself.
на турецкий способ приготовления чая очень похоже
3:10 what ? "podsta kanci ku"?
I'd imagine that some people who were introduced by the Soviet state to the electric samovar took it as being sacrilege...
hehe i like that russian is similar to other slovan languages =)
Don't forget the Japanese! They're tea crazy too.
Хотите сказать у них нет заварки?
no its not a persian invention, persian use it almost all times!:)
Ура! Самовар :)
Nice, but the pronunciation of the word "подстаканник" (podstakannik) is pretty bad.
its pronounced samwar in Arabic and Turkish
