Предисnовие
Учебник «Survival Russian» предназначен для самого широ

кого круга лицt изучающих русский язык. Его могут использо
вать как студенты (на начальном и среднем этапе обучеНИЯ)t так
и бизнесмеНЫt у которых мало времени для систематического изу
чения языка. Он поможет быстро овЛ!щеть русским языком тем, кто
не имеет о нём никакого представления. Но и те, кто достаточно хо
рошо владеет русским языком, найдут для себя много нового и по
лезного.
Учебник состоит из 16 ypOKOBt охватывающих самые нужные
ситуации общения: знакомство, ориентация в городе, приглашение
в гости, в театр и Т.д. Урок включает:
• культурологический комментарий, объясняющий реалии рус
ской жизни, связанные с определённой темой;

• лексику, относящуюся к данной тематике;
• грамматические таблицы и краткие грамматические коммента-
рии;
• упражнения по грамматике и на закрепление лексики;
• диалоги на заданную тему с использованием предлагаемой лек
сики и грамматики;
• тесты, с цомощью которых можно проверить знания по дан
ной теме.
В начале учебника даны краткий англо-русский тематический
словарь и словарь наиболее часто употребляемых глаголов, прила
гательных, а также фразы этикета и наиболее часто встречающиеся
вопросы. Так что, если у вас совсем нет времени на русский язык,
вы можете воспользоваться только этими материалами. Кроме того,
в начале учебника даётся русский алфаВНТt а также примерные
соответствия произношения русских и английскнх звуков. В кон
це учебника для тех, кто интересуется русской грамматикой, приво
дятся краткие грамматические сведения о всех частях речи и
общие грамматические таблицы. Там же содержатся краткие све
дения о русской фонетике, основные законы произношения русских
звуков.
ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ
Учебник построен предельно ясно и просто, в нём нет ничего

лишнего и отвлекающего. В упражнениях и диалогах вы не встрети
те ничего неожиданного для вас, всё предварительно дано в лекси
ческом блоке и объяснено в грамматическом блоке. В учебнике нет
искусственно составленных текстов. Все диалоги даны на осно
ве живой разговорной речи, а не подгоняются под какие-то кон
струкции, как это нередко бывает в учебниках. Даже при со
ставлении грамматических упражнений мы постарались использо
вать самую активную лексику живой речи. Наращивание лексики и
грамматики идёт постепенно от урока к уроку. К окончанию занятий
по нашему учебнику вы будете обладать большим запасом слов и
основными сведениями по русской грамматике, сможете легко об
щаться в любой ситуации. И что немаловажно - сможете не толь
ко говорить, но и быть уверенными, что вы говорите правильно, а
главное - что русские вас тоже понимают правильно. Занимаясь
по этому учебнику, вы будете получать не только пользу, но и удо
вольствие, потому что каждый день на практике будете видеть свои
реальные результаты.
В данном пособии мы попытались учесть недостатки мно
гочисленных учебников русского языка для иностранцев. Во-пер
вых, как правило, в учебниках русского языка для иностранцев нет
специальных лингвострановедческих или культурологических ком
ментариев. Вы можете хорошо говорить по-русски И тем не менее
попадать в трудные положения, не зная, как вести себя в той или
иной ситуации в России (как принято говорить по телефону, вести
себя в гостях и т.д.). Отличительной и очень важной особеннос
тью этого учебника является то, что в нём есть такие коммента
рии. Они позволят вам не только познакомиться с русским эти
кетом, русскими традициями, но и научат вас правильно исполь
зовать предлагаемую лексику и грамматику. Во-вторых, необхо
димо отметить, что перевод этого учебника на английский язык
сделан не русским переводчиком, а носителем языка, американ
кой, много лет прожившей в России и хорошо знакомой и с русским
языком, и с реалиями русской жизни. Поэтому вы можете быть уве
рены в точности лексических соответствий и грамматических объяс
нений.
Как нам кажется, одним из достоинств этого учебника является
и то, что по нему можно работать не только с преподавателем, но
и самостоятельно, поскольку написан он очень доступно.
ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ 7
•
в заключение заметим, что учебник написан а втором, в тече

ние многих лет работающим с иностранцами разных националь
ностей. Автор хорошо знаком с трудностями, которые испытывают
иностранцы при изучении русского языка. Материалы учебника
были апробированы на занятиях со студентами-иностранцами из
разных стран мира, а также на занятиях с бизнесменами, работаю
щими в Москве. Этот учебник получил самые положительные от
зывы как со стороны преподавателей, так и со стороны студен
тов и бизнесменов.
Итак, этот учебник мы рекомендуем всем! Если вы студент и
изучаете русский язык в своей стране, он вам будет очень полезен
перед поездкой в Россию. Если вы уже работаете или учитесь в Рос
СИИ, он поможет вам быстрее адаптироваться к русской действитель
ности. И наконец, если вы не изучаете русский язык, а просто инте
ресуетесь Россией, он познакомит вас с русскими традициями, праз
дниками, особенностями поведения русских в разных ситуациях.
Желаем успехов!

Survival Russian: А Course in Conversational Russian is intended

for а very wide audience ofRussian language students. It can Ье used Ьу
those studying Russian at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced lev
els, and also Ьу business реорlе who have little time for intensive study
of the language. It wi11 help реорlе who have little or по knowledge of
Russian to quickly Ьесоmе proficient. Реорlе who already knowRussian
well wi11 also find much that is new and interesting.
In this textbook, we have addressed the deficiencies of many Rus
sian language textbooks. First, few Russian language textbooks contain
cultural commentary. One can speak Russian well, but still end ир in
awkward situations because of а lack of cultural knowledge (phone eti
quette, being а guest, etc.). Тhis textbook wi11 not only supply уои with
background оп etiquette and traditions, but will teach уои the vocabulary
and grammar to put your cultural knowledge to use.
Next, this textbook is divided into chapters not about grammar, but
about themes covering the most essential aspects of everyday life, such
as meeting реорlе, getting around the city, shopping, etc. Each lesson
includes the following material оп а given theme:
• cultural commentary;
• vocabulary list;
• grammatical tables, commentary and exercises;
• thematic dialogues using the given vocabulary and grammar;
• quizzes to test your knowledge.
At the beginning of the textbook there is а short English-Russian
thematic dictionary with the most popular nouns, verbs, adjectives, and
phrases used when conversing оп а given theme. So if you have little time
for studyingRussian, уои can focus оп these materials. If you would lже
а more detai1ed explanation of Russian grammar or phonetics, уои тау
refer to the chapters at the end of the textbook.
Тhe textbook is laid out very clearly and simply. In the exercises and
dialogues, уои wi11 not find anything that has not been presented first in
PREFACE 9 •
the vocabulary and grammar sections. The dialogues use real, practical
speech, with none of the rare expressions frequently found in language
textbooks. The vocabulary and grammar increase gradually from chapter
to chapter, so that by the end of the book, you will have acquired a large
vocabulary and a basic introduction to Russian grammar, and you will be
able to converse with and be understood in a variety of situations. Study
ing with Survival Russian, you will have the pleasure of seeing concrete
results with every day of practice. This textbook is intended to be used
either with a teacher or independently.
This textbook was written by an author with many years experience
teaching foreigners of different nationalities. She has published metho
dological and scientific articles, and a Russian language textbook for for
eigners. The author is very familiar with problems faced by foreign stu
dents of Russian, and is convinced of the benefits of this type of text
book. The material in this textbook has been tested at Moscow State Uni
versity and other universities in Moscow on students of a variety of na
tionalities and with business people from many parts of the world. The
translation for this textbook was done not by a Russian translator, but by
a native English speaker who has lived in Russia for several years. This
experience has improved the accuracy of the vocabulary, grammatical,
and cultural translations.
We recommend this textbook to everyone connected with Russia. If
you are studying Russian language in your country, it will be very useful
before your trip to Russia. If you already work or study in Russia, it will
help you quickly become proficient on a variety of everyday themes. Fi
nally, if you are simply interested in Russia, you will learn about Russian
traditions, holidays, and etiquette for different situations.
We wish you the best of luck!

• Russian Forms of Address
HOMMeHTapHH • Commentary
In every language, there is a standard group of expressions used in

greetings and farewells. These expressions are universal; they are used
regardless of the subject of conversation. In this lesson, we will review
the most typical forms of greeting, farewell, inquiry, apology, and mak
ing requests.
You should pay particular attention to the following: in Russian, there
are two ways of addressing other people: formally (6bl) and informally
(mbl). Which form is used demonstrates the level of closeness, age diffe
rence, ease of conversation, and length of acquaintance.
How should you address your Russian acquaintances? Here are a
few guidelines: you will find that Russian young people tend to move
very quickly to the informal mbl when speaking with each other, even
with people they do not know well. Children and teenagers can be ad
dressed using mbl. Adults typically use the formal 6bl when they first
meet, and move to mbl as they become better acquainted.
Introducing yourself to others and getting acquainted will be covered
in Lesson 2.

• Getting Acquainted. Introductions
HOMMeHTapMi • Commentary
When meeting people, it is necessary and interesting to know the

rules of communication. In Lesson 1, you discovered the difference be
tween mbl and 6bl. In this lesson, you will learn how to introduce your
self, your friend or colleague, and how to answer questions when getting
acquainted.
Russian names. Russians have three names: first name (UMJl); pat
ronymic (omtteCm6o); and last name (¢aMWZUJl). J1MR is the given name:
Anton, Viktor, Petr, Anna, Maria, Natalia.
Omllecm60 is derived from the father's first name, with the added
ending -ovich/-evich for sons and -ovna/-evna for daughters. For exam
ple, if the son's name is Anton, and the father is Viktor, the son will be
Anton Viktorovich. If a daughter is named Anna, and her father is Ivan,
then she will be Anna Ivanovna.
cPaMWZUJl also has different endings for males and females: Sergei
Ivanov, Anna Ivanova. Most Russian women take their husband's last
name, but there are certainly exceptions.
Addressing others. A few guidelines in addressing people: for
friends, use their first name or shortened name; for other adults, use their
UMJl + omttecm60 unless they request otherwise. In such a case, they will
use the phrase }.fa6a u Ha mbz? or MO:JICHO Ha mbl? ('Let's start using mbl'
or 'May we use mbz').
In Russian, most first names have a shortened version: Mikhail be
comes Misha, Irina becomes Ira, etc. (see listing on page 20). In other
languages where shortened names are not as common, it is difficult to get
used to calling Russians by shortened names instead of full names. Short
ened names are used without the patronymic. Also, when using the full
first name (Mikhail, Irina) instead of the shortened version, the patro
nymic should technically be used, although you will hear exceptions.
Lesson 2. GETTING ACQUAINTED. INTRODUCTIONS 27
Introductions. If you are introducing adults in a formal setting, use

their full UMR, omiJecmeo and paMWIUIO. For example: "I would like you
to meet Anton Viktorovich Sergeev". In business meetings, the job title
and responsibility would be added. When introducing young people, you
should use the UMR + paMWIUJl.

Gender or Nouns
In Russian, there are three types of nouns: masculine, feminine and
neuter. Masculine nouns end in consonants: opyz, cmyoenm, BuKmop. Femi-
nine nouns end in -a and -R: noopyza, cmyoenmKa, TaHR. Nouns ending in
-b can be either masculine or feminine: npenooaeame.Jlb (m.), mempao& (f.).
Neuter nouns end in -o, -e, -MR: om~ecmeo, ympo, Mope, UM.R.
E x c e p t i o n: 1) the gender of several nouns ending in -a or -R
depends on whether they refer to a man or a woman: On KO/Uleza, ona
KOMeza; 2) male names ending in -a or -R decline like feminine nouns.

Verbs
1. In Russian there exists an unchanging, undefined form of verb -
the infinitive- which signifies action or condition, but does not define
the time, the speaker or the number. A majority of Russian verbs in the
infinitive end in -mb, considerably fewer end in -mu, and very few end in
-I.Jb. Reflexive verbs in the infinitive have the additional ending -cfl after
consonants or -cb after vowels.

2. Russian verbs have three tenses: present, past and future (simple
and compound).
3. Verbs in the present tense change by the person and number, re-
ceiving different endings for each form. There are two types of Conjuga-
tion: Conjugation I and Conjugation II. A majority of Russian verbs fall
into Conjugation I. These are verbs ending in -amb, -Rmb (Class I); -emb'\
(Class II); -oBamb, -eBamb (Class Ill), -Hymb (Class IV). All of these verbs
have in their paradigm an -e and the 3rd person plural ends in -yml-10m.
Verbs ending in -umb fall into Conjugation II. They have an -u in their
paradigm, and the 3rd person plural ends in -ami-Rm. But there are of
course exceptions. You can read more about this in A Short Introduc-
tion to Russian Grammar.
Present Tense of Verbs

The present tense of verbs is fom1ed using the base ofthe infinitive
and the appropriate ending.

• Using the Phone
KoMMeHtapHA • Commentary
It is interesting to note that even foreigners who know Russian well
and who can explain themselves easily often have trouble when speaking
on the phone. It is not surprising that this happens, given that telephone
conversations have their own special rules that differ in every country.
How should one answer the phone? Should you introduce yourself? How
do you call the person you need to the phone? How does one request to
relay information? How do you recite telephone numbers? These are some
of the issues that we will address in this chapter.
You should be aware that Russians enjoy talking on the phone. This
is true for both personal and business conversations. Perhaps one of the
reasons for this is that in Russia, there is no time-based charge for calls
made within a city. Foreigners in Russia frequently notice Russians' ten-
dency to decide problems over the phone. In many countries, it is uncom-
mon to make work-related phone calls on the weekends or after work.
Such a custom does not exist in Russia. On the contrary, extended con-
versations with friends, relatives, and even colleagues and business part-
ners are acceptable. This is true especially if your colleague himself gave
you his home telephone and suggested that you call.
You should note how telephone numbers are recited in Russia.
In many other countries, telephone numbers are recited separately, i.e.
251-70-45 = two-five-one, seven-zero-four-five. In Russia, telephone
numbers are recited in three sets (i.e. two hundred fifty one, seventy, for-
ty-five). There are of course exceptions to this system; however you will
find that numbers are recited this way by a majority of Russians. This
system is especially difficult for foreigners learning Russian. We recom-
mend that you practice reciting phone numbers. If you are unsure wheth-
er you understood a number correctly, ask the person with whom you are
speaking to repeat the number, or recite it back to them yourself.

Let's review the different phases of telephone conversations. We'll

begin with business communication. If you place a call to a business, they
will usually identify the type of business and it's name when they answer
the phone .
.- lfHcmumym ... (name), utKOJza ... , 6aHK ... , fjJupMa ....
-Institute ... (name), school ... ,bank ... , firm ....
If you hear only «AJUw!» (or Aile!, !(a! Ozywwo!) you should clarify
whether or not you have reached the intended party.
- 3mo uHcmumym ... ? 3mo utKOJla ... ? 3mo 6aHK ... ? 3mo
fjJupMa .. . ?
-Is this the institute ... (name), school ... , bank ... , firm ... ?
If you receive a confirmation, you should introduce yourself, adding
a form of greeting.
- 3opa6CmByume! or !(o6pblU oeHbl 3mo j(:JICOH CMum.
-Hello! or Good afternoon! This is John Smith.
A typical mistake that foreigners often make is to translate word by
word from their native language, saying:
- 3oecb CMum or Jl CMum.
-Smith here, or I'm Smith.
Often in business conversations, the impersonal construction is used when
the name of the speaker is not important. For example, one might begin with:
- 3mo zoBopRm U3 fjJupMbl ... or BaM 360HRm U3 fjJupMbl ....
-I'm calling from the ... company. (lit. You are being called from
the ... company.)
If you call a business not as a representative of an organization but as
an individual, you do not need to introduce yourself. You may simply ask
to speak to the person you are calling.
- Mo:JICHO Cepzefl H6aH06Ul/,a? or Eyobme oo6pbl, IlempoBa!
-May I, please, speak to Sergei Ivanovich? May I, please, speak to
Petrov?
When calling a business, it is customary to ask for someone using
their first name and patronymic, or if the organization you are calling is
large, just their last name. Asking for people using last names tends to be
done in large organizations where first names and patronymics may not
always be known to the person answering the phone. If you are calling
someone at home, you should address them as you normally would, ei-
ther by first name and patronymic, or by first name only.
Lesson 7. USING THE PHONE 73
After you have requested to speak to someone, you will likely hear
one of the following responses:
- ,[Ja I no:JK:a.Jlyucma I ooHy MUHymy I MUHymottT<.y.
-Yes I of course I one minute I just a minute.
If the person you are calling is not there, you will hear:
- Ezolee Hem. Eyoem no3:JK:e. I Eyoem e 2 ttaca. I Ilepe360Hume
ttepe3 10 MuHym. I T..fmo eMyleu nepeoamb?
-He/she is not here. He'll/she'll be back later. I He'll/she'll be back
at 2:00. I Call back in 10 minutes. I Would you like to leave a
message?
If asked to leave a message, you can give the following answers:
- Ilepeoaume, no:JK:a.Jlyucma, 11mo 360HWl ,[J:JK:oH CMum. Jl no360H10
eUfepa3.
-Please tell him that John Smith called. I will call back.
- Ilepeoaume, no:JK:a.Jlyucma, 11mo6bz oH no360HWl ,[J:JK:oHy CMumy.
-Please ask him to call John Smith.
- Cnacu6o, Huttezo. Jl no360H10 eUfe pa3 I noJ:JK:e.
-No, thanks. I will call him back.
Telephone conversations can be concluded just as any regular conver-
sation, with various forms of saying goodbye.
- ,[Jo ceuoaHUR. Goodbye.
- ,[Jo Jaempa. See you tomorrow.
-Po ecmpe11u. See you soon.
As for non-business phone conversations, you can use a more free
manner of addressing, greeting, and saying goodbye.
- Ilpueem, 3mo Cauta! Hi, this is Sasha.
-A, Cauta-npueem! Sasha! Hi!
- Hy, noT<a! Well, bye!
- IloT<.a! 3eoHu! Bye! Call me!
Finally, a general comment about telephone etiquette. You need to
take the initiative when seeking or giving information over the telephone.
It is not customary in Russia to offer or seek explanations over the tele-
phone. If the person being called is not in, offers to take messages are
few. So, you should not wait for 'May I help you?'; you should take the
initiative by asking to leave messages, finding out when the person will
return, etc.

Verb Aspects
Russian verbs have two aspects: imperfective (HecoBeprneHHLIH
B~- HCB) and perfective (coBeprneHHLIH B~- CB). In dictionaries,
both aspects are usually shown. For example: deJZam& (HCB), cdeJZam&
(CB). The imperfective and perfective forms of a verb make up a verb
pair, such as nucamb (HCB) - Hanucam& (CB), 'lumam& (HCB) -
npo'lumam& (CB), 360Humb (HCB)- no360HUmb (CB).
Both imperfective and perfective verbs describe the same action, but
within this, imperfective verbs describe only the action(OeJZam&, 'lumamb,
nucamb, 3Bonum&), and perfective verbs describe the completion, ending,
or result of the action (cdeJZam&, npo'lumam&, nanucam&, no3Bonum&).
Compare:
.fl 'lUmaJZ KHuzy. I read the book.
.fl npO'lUmaJZ KHUzy. I finished reading the book.
.fl nuca;z nuc&Mo. I wrote a letter.
.flnanuca;z nuc&Mo. I finished writing a letter.
1 The verb 3Ham&lto know is conjugated like the verb ttumam&lto read: 11 3Ha10, m&l
3Haew&, oH 3Haem, etc.
2 Polite form.
76 YpoK 7. TEnECIIOHHbiM PA3rOBOP
Imperfective verbs exist in the present, past and future tenses: oe-
Jza/0- oe!lan- 6yoy oe.namb. Perfective verbs do not have a present
tense, only past and simple future: coe!lan - coe!la/0.
For more details about imperfective and perfective verbs, see A Short
Introduction to Russian Grammar.
Future Tense of Verbs

In Russian there are two forms of future tense: complex future and
simple future. The complex future is formed with the verb 6blnlb plus the
infinitive of the imperfective form of the verb (6yoy IJumamb, 6yoy
nucamb). The simple future is formed from the perfective form of the
verb just as the present tense of imperfective verbs. For example:.R nuuty
(imperfective)- .R Hanuuty (perfective simple future); 5! IJumaiO (imper-
fective) - .R npoiJumaiO (perfective simple future). For more detailed
information on the future tense of verbs, refer to A Short Introduction
to Russian Grammar.

Imperative
The imperative of Russian verbs has two forms: the second person
singular and the second person plural. The imperative is formed from the
stem of the present tense of the imperfective verb or the simple future
tense of the perfective verb. To form the imperative, you add -u if the
stem ends in a vowel, plus -me for the second person plural.
For example:
Present tense
Infinitive (stem)/Simple Imperative Imperative
future tense (singular) (plural)
(stem)
quTaTb (HCB) quTa-ro qunrn! quTaiiTe!
rrpoquTaTb (CB) rrpoquTa-ro rrpoqnTan! rrpoqnTanTe!
If the stem ends in a consonant, add -u, plus -me for the second per-
son plural.
For example:
Present tense
Infinitive (stem)/Simple Imperative Imperative
future tense (singular) (plural)
(stem)
IIHCaTb (HCB) IIHIII-y IIHiliH! IIHliiHTe!
HarrucaTb (CB) HaiiHIII-y HaiiHliiH! HaiiHIIIHTe!

36oHumb AHmoHy. llo360HUmb Jle1-1e.
Review the endings for dative case nouns in Lesson 6, Table 18.
2. The verbs cKaJambloamblnepeoamb also require the dative case
(KoMy?). CKa3amb eMy. ,[Jaume MHe. flepeoaume AHmoHy.
Remember:
The dative case of Russian last names:
• Male last names, like first names and patronymics, have the ending ;
-yin the dative case, used after the verb 360HUmblto call. 36oHumb J16aHo6y.
CKa:J/Cume llempoey. flepeoaume Tuxo1-1o6y.
• Female last names end in -ou, while first names and patronymics

become Kozo? and 'lmo?

YpoH 8 • Lesson 8
OpMeHraQMJI a ropoae •
• Getting Around the City
KOMMeHTIPMM • Commentary
Russia's cities have a well-developed system of public transport:

buses, trolleys, trams. In Moscow and other major cities, the most po-
pular form of public transport is the metro. The metro in these cities is
not only convenient and fast, it's also a type of underground museum.
Most metro stations are beautiful, with sculptures, mosaics, and paint-
ings created by the best architects and artists.
To travel by metro, you need to first buy a :JK:emmt, or token, at one
of the metro ticket booths. The price of a token does not depend on how
far you are travelling in the metro; a one-way trip anywhere by metro
costs a flat fee. If you are going to use the metro frequently, it is recom-
mended to buy a npoe30Hoit 6UJZem, or monthly pass. They are for sale
at the end of the previous month at the metro ticket booths and city
kiosks.
For trips on the buses, trolleys or trams, you need to buy tickets.
Like the metro, there is a flat fee per trip, regardless of how far you are
travelling on that particular bus, trolley, or tram. You can buy individu-
al tickets, or books of 10 tickets for each type of transport. Like the
metro, you can also buy a monthly pass which is good on any bus, trol-
ley, or tram.
If you use several types of transport on a regular basis, such as the
metro and buses, it is advisable to buy a eowtbzit npoe3oHoit 6UJZem, or
single monthly pass. This single pass is good for a month's travel on
any form of transport: metro, bus, trolley, or tram. It will not only save
you money, it will also save time not having to buy tokens or tickets for
individual trips. Like the npoe30Hoit 6UJZem, it is for sale at the end of
the previous month at the metro ticket booths.
Lesson 8. GETIING AROUND THE CITY 91
In addition to the above forms of transport, there are also express

buses and fixed-route taxis. Express buses run, for example, from air-
ports to the nearest metro station, or they will travel along city bus routes
making fewer stops than the regular buses. Fixed-route taxis are usually
vans that accommodate 10 people that travel along set routes and usual-
ly cost 2-3 times more than regular buses. The fees for these taxis are
paid to the driver.
And of course there are also regular taxis. The number of official
taxis in the major cities is relatively low. Therefore, it is common in
Russia to use private cars as taxis. One can hail both private cars and
official taxis the same way: by simply extending one's arm as you stand
on the side of the street. You will need to agree upon a price with the
driver. Private cars will frequently be less expensive than taxis.
And finally, how do you find your way around a city? In all major
cities (and at all train stations and airports), there are kiosks marked
CnpaBKU, or Information. Here you can find out the address or tele-
phone number of a company, university or museum, and how to get
there. If you get lost, you can ask passersby H3BUHume, zoe ... or KaK
ooumu oo ... , KaK ooexam& oo ... You will usually get the information
you need.

• Masculine adjectives with a soft root and a root with w, :JIC have
the genitive case ending -ezo, and the prepositional case ending -eM
(xopowuu- xopmuezo, xopotue.M}. In the accusative case, masculine
adjectives have the same endings as in the nominative case if the adjec-
tive is used with an inanimate noun (xopowuu).
• Feminine adjectives with a soft root and a root withtu, :JIC have the
genitive case ending -eu and the prepositional case ending -eu. In the
accusative case, for roots ending in tu, :JIC, the ending is -y10 (xopoutaR-
xopotuy10).
• Neuter adjectives have the same genitive and prepositional case
endings as masculine adjectives. The accusative case endings for neuter
adjectives are the same as in the nominative case, since neuter nouns are
inanimate (xopowee).

YpoH 9 • Lesson 9
B Mara3HHe • In the Store
HoMMeHtapHi • Commentary
The system of trade in Russia exists in three forms: state, private and
that of the collective farm.
Food products can be bought in general food stores calledllpodyKmbz
or FacmpmwM. There are also several types of specialized stores: }(;ze6
(Bread), Ey;zoiJltafl (Bakery), Pbz6a (Fish), MRco (Meat), Oeott~u
ifJpy«mbz (Vegetables- fruits) and others. In addition to these stores,
there are also commercial kiosks on the streets which sell products such
as drinks, chocolate, candy, etc. Most Russians buy food products at local
markets (pbzHoK) in addition to stores. There are markets in every major
city where you can buy fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy products.
In major cities you will also find fruits and vegetables for sale on the
streets.
Manufactured goods can be bought at stores such as YHuBepMaz (De-
partment Store), JipoMmoeapbl (Manufactured Goods). There are also
specialized stores such as 06yeb (Shoes), Ode:JK:da (Clothes), TKaHU (Fab-
ric), Me6e;zb (Furniture), etc.
In Moscow, the most well-known and popular stores are FYM
(FocyoapcmeeHHblU yHueepcan.bHblU Maza:JuH- State Department Store),
l.JYM (l.JeHmpan.bHblU yHueepcan.bHblU Maza:JuH - Central Department
Store) and «!JemcKuit Mup»- Children's World.
In the major cities of Russia, quite a few stores run by foreign firms
have begun to appear, as well as supermarkets similar to those in the
west.
Products in Russian stores, kiosks and markets are sold for cash.
Credit cards are accepted mostly in big stores and western-type super-
markets, You can exchange foreign currency at currency exchange booths
which are located in banks, many stores, and near metro stations.

Remember:
1) Endings of masculine accusative adjectives depend on whether
the adjective is being used with an animate or inanimate noun. If the
adjective is used with an animate noun, then the accusative plural end-
ings will be the same as in the genitive plural. If the adjective is used with
an inanimate noun, then the accusative plural endings will be the same as
in the nominative plural.
2) Endings of feminine singular adjectives in the accusative case do
not depend on whether the adjective is being used with an animate or
inanimate noun: the endings will always be -y10 ( -1010). In the accusative
plural, adjectival endings will depend on the noun: if the adjective is
being used with an animate noun, then the accusative plural endings will
be the same as in the genitive plural. If the noun is inanimate, the accusa-
tive plural endings will be the same as in the nominative plural.
3) Endings of neuter adjectives in the accusative plural will be the
same as in the nominative plural.
Explanation: Indefinite Personal Construction

The indefinite personal construction is used when the focus of a sen-
tence is an action by an undefined person. The identity of the acting body
is either unknown or unimportant to the speaker of the sentence. To form
a phrase suing indefinite construction, the verb is conjugated into the 3rd
person plural, and there is no subject.
Compare:
Personal construction:
Mou opy3bfl Mile 2060pWlU, ttmo 3UMOU 6 MocK6e XOllOOHO.
My friends told me that winter in Moscow is cold.
Indefinite personal construction:
MHe 2060pWlu, ttmo 6 MocK6e 3UMOU XOllOOHO.
I was told that winter in Moscow is cold.

Explanation: Impersonal Construction

In Russian there is a type of construction which has no subject. This
type of construction is called impersonal construction. It expresses:
a) the conditions of nature or environment
Ha YllUtfe XOllOOHO. It is cold outside.
CezooHR :JK:apKo. It is hot today.
b) the condition of a person, as expressed with the words: XOllOOHo,
menllo, uHmepecHo, mpyoHo, npUR.mHo and others. In such expressions,
the noun or pronoun representing the person whose condition is being
described is usually in the dative case.
M11e XOllOOHO. I am cold.
EMy XOllOOHo. He is cold.
BaM xollooHo. You are cold.
BaM 6yoem uHmepecHo. It will be interesting for you.
JleHe 6blllO mpyo11o. It was difficult for Lena.
140 YpoK 10. norQAA. BPEMEHA rDAA. niO&MMOE BPEMJI rOAA
Independent of will, the condition of the speaker may be expressed

using reflexive verbs xottemcR, Ka:JICemcR and others, plus the verb in the
infinitive .
.JI xotty zy.!lJlmb.
I want to take a walk.
MHe xottemcR zy.!lJlmb.
OH xottem omobzxamb.
He wants to relax.
EMy xottemcR omobzxamb.
c) necessity, possibility and impossibility as expressed using the ad-
verbs uaoo, HY:JICHO, Heo6xoOUMO, MO:JICHO, He.Jlb3Jl and others.
MHe uaoo uomu 6 MQ2a3UH. I have to go to the store.
EMy He.JZb3R KynambcR. He is forbidden to swim.
MHe HY:JICHO ~rynumb nooapKU I need to buy presents for my
opy3bflJI-t. friends.
d) the absence of a subject or person using the word Hem, He 6bllto,
He 6yoem. In such expressions, the noun or pronoun representing the sub-
ject or person who is absent is in the genitive case.
Compare:

Remember:
The dative case in Russian is used not only after verbs of the type
JBOHUmblnoJeoHumb KoMy?, noKynambiKynumb KoMy?, etc., but also af-
ter verbs of motion. In this case, the noun in the dative case is used with
the preposition K.
For example: uomu K epa'-ly
examb K noopyze
These phrases answer the question Kyo a? or K KOAty?
For example: - Kyoa (K KOMY) 8bl uoeme?
- Jl uoy K epa'-ly.
Review dative case noun endings in Lesson 6, Table 18.
Impersonal Construction (See Lesson 10 for an explanation)

The condition of the speaker may be expressed using the reflexive
verbs xo'-lemcR, Ka:JICemcR, and others, plus the main verb in the infinitive.
This construction expresses a condition that is independent of will i.e.
'I am sleepy'. Nouns or pronouns are used in the dative case.
Personal Construction
Jl xo'-ly cnamb. I want to sleep.
Jl xo'-ly ecmb. I want to eat.
Jl He xo'-ly numb. I don't want to drink.
Impersonal Construction
MHe xo'-lemcR cnamb. I am sleepy.
MHe xo'-lemcR ecmb. I am hungry.
MHe He xo'-lemcR numb. I am not thirsty.

Remember:
The prefix no- in a verb of motion means the beginning of a move-
ment or the beginning of a new stage of the movement.
Jl ooe.JlcR u notueJl Ha pa6omy. I got dressed and went to work.
Jl tuibl npR.Mo, a nomoM noutiill I walked straight, and then went
Hanpa6o. to the right.
The prefixnpu- in a verb of motion signifies the result of the movement.
Jl npuexaJZ Ha pa6omy. I arrived at work.
Jl npueoy 6 MocK6Y JZemoM. I will come to Moscow in the sum-
mer.
For reference:
In Russian, there is a special group of verbs known as verbs of mo-
tion. When using these verbs, it is important to pay attention to the type
of movement involved:
a) whether or not there is an indication of direction;
b) whether the movement is in a single direction or in different direc-
tions.
Uni-directional verbs (uomu, examb and others) are used:
a) If at the moment of speaking, there is movement in one direction:

Jl uoy no yllu£1e. I am walking down the street.
no YllU£1e eoem MQUlUHa. A car is going down the street.
b) If a question is asked about movement at the moment it is occur-
ring:
Kyo a 6bl uoeme? Where are you going (on foot)?
Kyoa OHa eoem? Where is she going (by transport)?
Multi-directional verbs (xooumb, e30umb and others) are used:
a) If at the moment of speaking there is movement in different direc-

tions:
Jboou xooRm no yllu£1e. People are walking down the street.
no YllU£1e e30llm MQUlUHbl. Cars are going down the street.
b) If general questions about habitual or regular motions are asked:
Kyoa Bbl o6wmo xooume Where do you usually go (on foot)?
neutKOM?
Kyoa Bbl o6bl'mo e3oume Where do you usually go on vacation?
omobzxamb?
c) If repeat or habitual movement in different directions is discussed:
MaMa Ka;»CObzu oeHb Mother goes to work every day.
XOOUm Ha pa6omy.
or a single movement in two directions (there and back):
Bllepa R xoowza e meamp. Yesterday I went to the theater (there and
back).

Remember:
Verbs of motion with prefixes signifying spatial movement indicate
movement in a defined direction. For example, the prefix npu- indicates
the result of movement. Uni-directional verbs (such as uomu) with pre-
fixes form verbs in the perfective. aspect. Multi-directional verbs with
prefixes maintain the imperfective aspect. These verbs form aspect pairs:
npuxooumblnpuumu, etc.

• Free Time. Invitations to Someone's House,
to the Theater
KOMMeHTIPHH • Commentary
Russian people, like people from all over the world, spend their free
time in varied ways depending on the interests of an individual or a family.
In Russia, people go to the theater, the movies, museums, attend ex-
hibitions or sports events, go on tours or to the country. A particular fa-
vorite is going to the theater. In practically every major city, there is at
least one theater. In Moscow, there are nearly a hundred theaters. A fa-
vorite is the Bolshoi Theater, famous throughout the world for its shows
and actors. Other theaters that are especially popular are MKhAT, Maly
theater, the Leninskiy Komsomol theater, the Satire theater, and the Op-
eretta theater.
Many Russians enjoy participating in sports or attending sports events
in their free time. In Moscow and other major cities, there are many sta-
diums, sports complexes and sports clubs that have classes for children
and adults. The most popular types of sports in Russia are soccer, ice
hockey, tennis and chess. The most well-known sports complex in Mos-
cow is Luzhniki Stadium.
Art exhibitions and galleries are also popular among Russians. The
most famous in Moscow is the Tretyakov Gallery, where thousands of
works of art are exhibited, everything from Russian icons of the XI and
XII centuries to works of modem Russian artists. The Pushkin Museum
of Fine Arts is also very interesting. In addition to its permanent collec-
190 YpoK 13. CBO&OllHOE BPEMR. nPMrnAWEHME B rOCTM, B TEATP
tion, the Pushkin Museum has exhibitions from museums all over the
world.
Russia has a large number of museums. In Moscow, we recommend
visiting the Kremlin, the Armory, the Diamond Fund and the History Mu-
seum.
For vacations, many Russians like to relax at vacation spots in Cen-
tral Russia or on the Black Sea. They also buy tour packages to countries
all over the world, cruises, etc. Frequently, Russians spend their vaca-
tions 3a zopoooM or in the country. When the weather is good, families
will go to the country or to the beach. Sports outings are also popular:
hiking, kayaking, mountainclimbing.
Probably the favorite place where Russians spend their free time is at
the dacha, which is a small house with a piece of land of about 400-
600 square meters. Many families have dachas where they relax, grow
flowers, fruits and vegetables. Most dachas are located not far from the
city so people can get there relatively quickly. If your Russian friends
have a dacha, they will most likely invite you for a relaxing weekend.

• Holidays. Congratulations
KoMMeHrapHit • Commentary
In Russia, as across the world, there are state and national holidays
as well as family or personal ones. State holidays are: January 1 -New
Year's Day; March 8- International Women's Day; May 1-The Spring
Holyday of Labor; May 9 - World War II Victory Day; June 12- The
Day of Adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian
Federation (Independence Day); November 7 - The Day of Accord and
Reconciliation; December 12 -Constitution Day. Recently, religious
holidays have also been widely celebrated: January 7- Orthodox Christ-
mas; in spring - Orthodox Easter. These are all non-working days in
Russia.
There are also many holidays to celebrate the work of individual
professions, such as Teachers' Day, Fishermen's Day, Geologists' Day,
etc. Russia also marks international holidays, such as International Day
of the Protection of Children, International Students' Day, etc. Russia
celebrates anniversaries of city foundings, social organizations, institutes
of learning, and factories. For example, the eight hundredth anniversary
of the founding of Moscow, the two hundredth anniversary of Moscow
State University, the fiftieth anniversary of the Likhachev auto factory
were all celebrated. On the eve of these holidays, there are usually cere-
monial meetings, festivities, concerts. In Moscow, the largest ceremonial
gatherings are held at the Grand Kremlin Palace. Such gatherings are also
held in enterprises and academic institutions around the country.
There are also many family and personal holidays celebrated in Rus-
sia. Such holidays are celebrated both at home with family and at work
with colleagues. Weddings' anniversaries are actively celebrated, especial-
ly significant anniversaries like the 25-year "silver anniversary", and the
50-year "golden anniversary". Russians also celebrate retirement; women
have the right to retire at age 55, and men at 60. Russians celebrate with
220 YpoK15.nPA3AHMKM.nOJAPABnEHMR
family and close friends such events as graduating from school or universi-
ty, completion of a dissertation or moving into a new apartment.
Probably the most popular holiday in Russia is New Year's. Rus-
sians anxiously await and prepared for New Year's. They buy fir-trees to
decorate, and exchange gifts, much like Dec. 25th in the west. It is cus-
tomary to bring in the New Year with family until late into the night. New
Year's is celebrated by everyone in Russia, whereas Orthodox Christmas
has begun to be celebrated only recently.
You should note that it is customary in Russia to exchange holiday
cards or telegrams in addition to gifts. The text of holiday cards is usually
fairly extensive, consisting of several sentences. Examples ofholiday greet-
ings can be found in this lesson. You will learn about customary gifts and
things to take with you when you go to someone's house in the next les-
son.

Explanation: pronoun caoil

In Russian there is a possessive pronoun ceou (ceo.a, ceoii, ceou),
which shows possession of an object. It can be used in the first, second or
third person of speech. This pronoun is used only when the object to
which it relates belongs to the active subject of the sentence. If the object
does not belong to the active subject of the sentence, the pronounceou is
not used.
Compare:
1)
3mo Mou 6pam. It is my brother.
I
JI no30paeu;z ceoezo (T. e. Moe- I congratulated my (own) brother.
zo) 6pama.
3mo eaut 6pam. It is your brother.
JI n03opaewz eautezo 6pama. I congratulated your brother.
2)
3mo MOU pooume;zu . .JI no:JK:e- These are my parents.
llaJZ C60UM (T.e. MOUM) poOume- I wished my (own) parents happi-
llflM ciJacmbR u 30opo6bfl. ness and health.
3mo eautu pooume;zu . .JI no:JK:e- These are your parents.

!la!l eautuM pooumellRM ciJa- I wished your parents happiness and
cmbfl u 30opo6bR. health.
3)
Ezo cecmpa :JICU6em 6 opyzoM His sister lives in another city.
zopooe.
OH HanucaJZ nUCbMO ceoeu (T.e. He wrote a letter to his (own) sis-
ezo) cecmpe. ter.
4)
Ee opy3bR UHmepecyiOmCfl uc- Her friends are interested in art.
Kyccm60M.
0Ha K)lnUJZa C60UM (T.e. ee) Opy- She bought her friends souvenirs.
3bRM cyeeHupbl.
1T.e.= mo ecmb =i.e.

The pronoun ceou is not used in the nominative case (as the subject
of a sentence). The exception to this rule is constructions which convey
ownership of a object, such as a car or house.
Y Hezo ecmb ceoR (T.e. co6cm- He has his (own) car.
BeHHa.R) MaUtuHa.
Y HUX ceou (T.e. co6cmeeH- They have their (own) house.
HblU} OOM.
The pronoun ceou changes in gender, number and case the same as
the pronouns MOU and meou.

HAeM aroaM. Brocr1x • Going to Someone's House
KOMMeHTIPMM • Commentary
A few words about invitations to someone's house. For everyday
occasions, it is not customary in Russia to issue invitations in writing or
well in advance. Russians tend to invite farther in advance for birthdays
and holidays, and sometimes issue written invitations. Most often, how-
ever, Russians will issue an invitation in person or over the telephone
approximately three or four days in advance. Most invitations tend to be
for evening gatherings, and although the times can be varied, gatherings
tend to begin at six or seven o'clock.
It is not necessary to ask what you can bring when going to some-
one's house. If you ask a Russian, chances are they will say "Nothing at
all!" But that doesn't mean that you should go to someone 's house empty-
handed. First, you should bring the hostess some flowers or a box of
candy. Pay attention to the number of flowers; it should be an odd number,
because even numbers of flowers are brought only to funerals. So the
number of flowers usually tends to be 3 or 5. A single flower, while pret-
ty, is usually not given. The host usually receives a bottle of liquor; how-
ever, this is not as necessary as the flowers. If your hosts have children, it
is polite to bring some chocolate or candy for them.
Russians usually sit down immediately at the dinner table, where
they will spend the entire evening. Therefore, since it is a seated dinner,
you should arrive on time when invited to someone's house. The idea of
food served buffet style is uncommon in Russia. If you have been invited
to a dacha, your host might make shashlik, meat with spices cooked on a
skewer over a fire. However, people will inevitably sit around a table.
The concept of standing and eating hors d'ouevres as in the West is unfa-
miliar to most Russians.
Now a little about the food. Foreigners who are invited to a Rus-
sian's house for the first time are always surprised by the number of dif-
ferent appetizers and salads served. Even in a family that is not wealthy,
your host will always make an effort to have a full table with several
varied dishes. The meal usually consists of appetizers, a main course and
tea/dessert. When guests arrive, the appetizers are already on the table, so
everyone helps themselves to what they want. Appetizers can include
236 YpoK 16. HAEM B rOCTM. B rOCTJIX
various salads, mushrooms (salted & marinated), fish (salted & smoked),
caviar, sausage, ham and pirozhki (pastry shells stuffed with meat, cab-
bage or rice). Then, the main course is served: usually fish or meat with
side dishes. Then there might be a break while guests leave the table to
dance or smoke. After that, tea with pastries, jam or sweets.
You should not be surprised if there is far more food than you can
eat, because that is how Russian hosts typically serve guests. It is from
this custom that many foreigners regard the Russian people as extremely
hospitable and generous.
To drink, Russians will usually serve vodka, cognac and different
wines, in addition to mineral water and flavored soda or juice. Everyone
drinks what they want. Toasts are mandatory. They can be proposed to
the hosts, the guests, etc., and everyone raises their glasses together.
Such a dinner usually lasts 3-4 hours. At the end of the evening, it should
be the guests who signal that it is time to leave. Typical dinners usually end
before 11:00. Thank you notes for lunch/dinner are not customary. The hosts
are thanked at the end of the evening as the guests are leaving.
And finally, about gifts. When and what should you give? Ifthere is
no special occasion and you have just been invited to someone's house,
then take flowers or candy. Holidays, however, are special situations.
New Year's. Although this is the favorite holiday of Russians, there
is not a tradition of giving expensive gifts.
Christmas and Easter. Since these holidays were not celebrated for
a long time, traditions surrounding these holidays are just starting to form.
So, there are as yet no special gifts given on these holidays.
March 8 - International Women's Day. The Russian tradition is
to congratulate all the women at home and at work. Flowers and some kind
of small gift are usually given on this day.
Weddings. It is customary to give a nice gift to the married couple.
Birthdays. And of course Russians give gifts on birthdays more than
any other time.
What kind of gifts should you give? Russians have a saying: "It's not
your gift that is dear to me, it's your friendship". The cost of the gift is not
important, it's the symbol of attention, the expression of friendship. There-
fore, try to learn the tastes and interests of the person to whom you are
giving a gift.
What should you give, for example, on someone's birthday? You
might give perfume, cosmetics, books, music, or Russian handicrafts. It
is not customary to give too practical gifts (i.e. pots and pans) because
they are considered inappropriate for the holiday atmosphere.
You should give whatever you think your friends will enjoy. The
important thing is that your friend feels like it came from your heart. That
for Russians is the most important thing.

• A Short Introduction to Russian Phonetics
Vowels
1. There are 6 vowels in the Russian alphabet: a, o, y, u, 3, bl.
In Russian there are no long or short vowels.
2. The sound bl is particularly difficult. It is never used at the beginning
of a word, and is always combined with hard consonants.
3. Stress is particularly important in Russian phonetics, since the pro-
nunciation of the vowels depends on the where the stress falls in a
word. In stressed syllables, the vowel keeps its quality. In unstressed
syllables the vowel sounds are reduced and sound differently. The
vowels a, o, 3 change significantly. Unstressed vowels u, y, bl, al-
though they sound less long, their quality does not change, and there-
fore the transcription is depicted by the same symbols.
4. Stressed vowels are the rythmic center of a word. The pronunciation
of a vowel in a non-stressed position is defined by its place in the
word: the first unstressed, the second unstressed, the post-tonic, etc.
5. Reduction of a, o. In the beginning of a word and in the first un-
stressed syllable after the hard consonants, a, o sound alike, like [A],
that is, a short, weak [a]. For example: ooM [ooM], oOMa [oAMa], caM
[caM], caMa [cAMa]. In the remaining unstressed syllables a, o are
pronounced like [o], -that is, a more weak and short [a]. For exam-
ple, ZOJl06a [Z'bllA6a], XOpOUUJ [X'bpAuto], Cll060 [Cll06'b], HQOO
[naoa], Kanumti.Jz [KDn 'umti.Jz], KapaBaH [KDpABan].
6. The unstressed masculine adjectival ending -ozo is pronounced like
[o6'b]. For example, H060ZO [H06'b6'b], oo6pozo [oo6po6'b].
7. The unstressed feminine adjectival ending -ou is pronounced like
[au]. For example, H060U [H06'bU], oo6pou [oo6pou].
8. The rules of reduction also apply to prepositions. For example, na
Mocmy [no MAcmy], o Bac [A Bac], 3a ooMOM [3A ooMoM].
9. Reduction of a, 3. After soft consonants, a, 3 appear as R, e: Mico
[M 'aca ], MeJZ [M 'ell]. In unstressed positions after soft consonants, a
and 3 are reduced and are closer to [u]. In transcription, this sound is
written as [ue]. For example, Becna [B'uecna], 63JI.Jla [63'uella]. In the
second pretonic syllable, and also in post-tonic syllables, the reduc-
tion is stronger, here being pronounced as a very short sound, close
to [ue], but still more weakly articulated. In transcription it appears
A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO RUSSIAN PHONETICS 259
as the letter [b]. For example, lleJT.oeeK [ti 'bllAeeK], lleMoiJaH

[ ll 'bMAOaH1 meneeti3op [m 'bll 'uee 'u3bp].
10. Unstressed masculine adjectival endings with a soft stem -ezo, -eMy,
-eM are pronounced like [beb], [bMy], [bM]. For example, pa1l1tezo
[paHH 'b6b], paHHeMY [paHH 'bMy], 0 paHHeM [ApclHH 'bM].
11. Unstressed feminine adjectival endings with a soft stem -eu are pro-
nounced like [bu]. For example, cuHeu [cuH 'bu], paHHeU [paHH 'bu].
12. In the beginning of a word, after the vowels and after b, b, the letters
R, e, 10, e when stressed appear as two sounds R Ua ], e Uo ], 10 UY], e
[j3 ]. For example, icHo UacHb ], iillxa UollKb], ell U3ll]. In unstressed
syllables in these positions a reduction takes place. For example,
Jl3blK Uue3blK], RH6apb UueH6ap '], eoa UueiJa].
Consonants
1. In the Russian alphabet there are 35 consonants.
2. Pronunciation of Russian consonants is less energetic than in En-
glish: all Russian consonants are articulated further forward in the
mouth with the tongue in the horizontal position.
3. There is no aspiration of Russian consonants.
Hard and SoH Consonants

1. Most Russian consonants can be either hard or soft: [6 - 61, [n -
n1, [e- e'], [¢- ¢'], [iJ- iJ1, [M- M1, [3- 3'], [c- c1,
[H-H1, [ll-ll1, [M-M1, [p-p1, [K-K1, [z-z'], [x-x'].
There are 15 pairs in all. These consonants are hard before the letters
a, 0, y, bl, b, and SOft before the letters R, e, 10, e, U, b.
2. Softening of consonants has semantic value. For example, Hoc [Hoc] =
='nose', while Hiic [H'oc] ='he was carrying';yzoJT. [))zM] ='cor-
ner' ,yzo!lb [fzM1 = 'coal'; llYK [llYK] ='onion' ,ll10K [ll YK] ='hatch',
etc. ·
3. The consonants ut, :JIC, 1-1 are always hard. The spellings after these
letters are written with the letters u, e, but are pronounced [bl ], [3].
For example, :JICU3Hb [:J1Cbl3 'H '], :JICeHcKuii [:J~ei'HcK 'bu], wumb
[utbzm 1. wecmb [ut3c 'm 1, !JUPK [~JbZpK], !JellblU [w3JT.bzu]. After the
consonants ut, :JIC, 1-1 all vowels in unstressed positions are pronounced
with reduction because of the rule of pronunciation of unstressed
vowels after hard consonants. For example, wocce [utAcc3]. The pro-
nunciation of e should be isolated, which after tu, :JIC, 1-1 is pronounced
like [b]. This sound is close to [bz]. For example, z.uecmou [tubcmou],
:JICeHa [:JICbHa], ~JeHa [ ~JbHa].
260 KPATKMM O'IEPK PYCCKOM QJOHETMKM
4. The consonants t.t, ut are always soft. For example, t.tau [ t.t 'au],
npoutamb [npAUf 'am 1. The orthography after these consonants is
written with the letters a, y. Vowels in unstressed positions after t.t, ut
are reduced by general reduction rules after S<tft consonants. For
example, t.tacw [ t.t Vcw], Hat.tClllu [ Hat.t 'bJZ 'u], ute1l(JK [ut 'u•miK].
Unvoiced and Voiced Consonants

1. In Russian, a majority of voiced consonants have an unvoiced pair:
[6- n], [e- ¢], [a-m], [3- c], [.?IC- tu], [2- K]. There are 4
that are only voiced sounds: JZ, M, H, p, and·4 that are only unvoiced
sounds: x, t.t, 14, Uf.
2. Voiced and unvoiced consonants cannot be mixed, because it can
result in a change in the meaning of a word:
6ou - battle, nou - sing
ooM- house, moM- volume (of a book)
wap - ball, balloon, .?leap - heat
3. There are several rules associated with voiced and unvoiced conso-
nants:
a) voiced consonants always become unvoiced at the end of a word:
20p00 -20po[m], o6eo- o6e[m], 3y6-3y[n], MOp03 -Mopo[c],
JZe6- JZe[ p], opy2 - opy[K], 3ma.?IC -3m a[ Ul ];
b) voiced consonants become unvoiced when placed before un-
voiced consonants: 3aempa -3a[p]mpa, i66Ka- w[n]Ka, JZOOKa-
JZo[m]Ka, 6mnKo- 6ml[c]Ko;
c) unvoiced consonants become voiced when placed before voiced
consonants: ciJeJZClll- [3]iJeJZClll, eoK3aJZ- eo[z]3aJZ;
d) before the voiced consonants JZ, M, H, p, and e, unvoiced conso-
nants do not become voiced: meou- [m]eou, cJZoeo - [c]JZoeo,
cpa3y- [c]pa3y.

nunciation of separate sounds and also Russian intonation can be found

• A Short Introduction to Russian Grammar
Russian language has the following parts of speech: nouns, adjec-

tives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, numerals and auxiliary words (preposi-
tions, conjunctions, particles).
Nouns
1. Russian nouns have:
-two classes: animate, inanimate;
-two numbers: singular, plural;
-three genders: masculine, feminine, neuter;
- declension in six cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative,
instrumental, prepositional.
In dictionaries nouns are given in the nominative singular.
Animate nouns answer the question 'who?' Kmo?
Inanimate nouns answer the question 'what?' 11mo?
2. Gender
Animate nouns have two genders: masculine and feminine. Inani-
mate nouns have three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter.
The endings of nouns indicate their gender:
a) consonant: indicates masculine gender: 6pam -brother, ypoK-
lesson, cmyoeHm - student;
b) endings -a, -R, indicate feminine gender: Ma.Ma - mother, ce-
Mbfl - family, KHuza - book;
c) endings -o,-e, indicate neuter gender: nucbMO -letter, Mope-
sea, C!lOBO - word;
d) nouns ending in a soft sign (-b) may be either feminine (HO'Ib -
night, oo'lb - daughter) or masculine (oeHb - day, ooJICob -rain).
Exception:
1) Words indicating masculine kinship: nana - father, OROR - un-
cle a~e masculine in gender but decline like nouns of feminine gender.
262 KPATHMA OIIEPK PYCCKOA rPAMMATMKM
2) Proper male names: BaHR, Cauta are masculine in gender, but

decline like nouns of feminine gender.
3) Several nouns that end in -MR which are neuter (epe.MR- time,
UMR - name), do not decline like nouns of feminine gender.
3.Number
1) Words of masculine gender in the plural have the endings -bl, or
-u (after K, 2, x, ut,
:JIC, tt, Uf or instead of&): cmyoeHm- cmyoeHm&z,

2) Words of feminine gender in the plural have the endings -bl or -u
(after K, 2, x, ut, :JIC, Uf, tt or instead of&, R): KOMHama- KOMHam&z, KHu-
2a- KHU2U, CeMbR - CeMbU}.
3) Words of neuter gender in the plural have the ending -a for words
that end in -o in the singular: OKHo - OKHa, nuc&Mo - nuc&Ma. If the
neuter word had the ending -e, then the plural will end in -R: Mope -
MOpR, 30QHUe - 30Q1tUR.
4) Several masculine nouns that end in a consonant have the plural
ending -bR: 6pam - 6pam&R, JZucm - JZucm&R.
5) Some nouns are used only in the plural: ttac&z - watch, clock,
ottKu- eyeglasses.

Verbs
1. Russian verbs have:
-two aspects: imperfective, perfective;
- three tenses: present, past, future;
- two conjugations in the present tense;
- forms of person and number in the present and future tense;
- forms of gender and number in the past tense;
- three moods: indicative, imperative, conditional.
2. In dictionaries verbs are given in the infinitive. Infinitives end in -mb:
~Jumamb- to read, nucamb- to write. Some verbs have the infini-
tive ending -mu: uomu -to go, Hecmu -to carry. Few verbs have the
infinitive ending-%: ne%- to bake, 6epe%- to care.
3. Present tense
The present tense is used when we speak of actions which:
a) are occurring at the present moment;
Ceii~Jac R nuwy nucbMO.
Now I am writing a letter.
b) occur constantly;
3e.M.JlJl 6pautaemcR 60Kpyz CoJtHtfa.
The earth rotates around the sun.
c) repeat themselves;
Ka:JJCOblU oeHb R xo:JJCy 6 MaZa:JUH.
Every day I go to the store.
d) began earlier but are continuing in the moment of speaking;
OH :JICU6em 6 MocK6e y:JJCe 2 zooa.
He has lived in Moscow for two years already.
Only verbs in the imperfective aspect are used in the present tense.
Verbs in the present tense change by person and number, that is they are
268 KPATKMM OIIEPK PYCCKOM rPAMMATMKM
conjugated. Russian verbs are divided into two categories by type of con-
jugation: First Conjugation and Second Conjugation. Most Russian verbs
fall into the first category.
The productive classes of first conjugation verbs include verbs with
the infinitive ending -amb, -flmb (class 1), -emb (class 2), -oeamb, -eeamb
(class 3), -Hymb (class 4). Productive classes of second conjugation verbs
include only verbs with the infinitive ending -umb (class 5). Tables of
First and Second Conjugation verbs are given in the appendix.
Exception:
There are a few verbs ending in -amb (;ze:JICamb, Kpu'lamb, MO!l'lamb,
cmy'lamb, Cllblutamb, obzutamb, 2Hamb and others) and several ending in
-emb (cMompemb, euoemb, 20pemb, ee!lemb, HeHaeuoemb, mepnemb,
o6uoemb, cuoemb and others) who fall into the Second Conjugation ca-
tegory.
There is a small group of verbs in the First and Second Conjugations
that have unusual conjugations: :JICOamb, K!lacmb, noMo'lb, pe3amb and
others. These are considered unproductives classes. The conjugation of
these verbs should be memorized.
4. Past tense
There is only one form of the past tense. In the past tense verbs change
not by person and number, but by gender and number. The past tense is
formed from the root of the infinitive+ -ll (m.), -lla (£),-flo (n.), -flu (pl.).
For example: IJumamb: 'lUma!l (m.)- 'lUma!la (£)- 'lUma!lu (pl.).
This is how the past tense if formed in a vast majority of Russian
verbs whose stem ends in a vowel. Other verbs have pecularities in the
formation of the past tense.
5. Future tense
There are two forms of the future tense: the compound future and the
simple future. The compound future expresses incomplete, imperfective
action. The simple future expresses perfective, complete action. The com-
pound future is formed from the imperfective aspect of the verb, by using
the verb 6blmb in the future tense and the infinitive of the imperfective
verb. For example: fl 6yoy IJumamb, mbl 6yoeutb 'lumamb, etc. The sim-
ple future is formed from the perfective aspect of the verb in the same
way as the present tense of verbs in the imperfective aspect.
Compare:
Present tense Future tense
fl nuuty fl Hanuuty
mbz nuuteutb mbl Hanuuteutb
6. Aspects of verbs
Russian verbs have two aspects: imperfective and perfective.
Dictionaries usually indicate the aspect of the verbs listed. For example,
tJumamb -imperfective, npotJumamb -perfective. These two verbs make
up an aspect pair. They indicate the same action, but with the following
differences: the imperfective aspect describes the action itself, while the
perfective aspect also indicates the completion or results of the action.
Verbs in the imperfective aspect are used in the present, past and future
tenses (tJummo- quma;z- 6yoy tJumamb). Verbs in the perfective aspect
exist only in the past and future tenses (npoquma;z- npotJumwo).
Usage ofthe imperfective aspect:
1)- lfmo mbz oe!laJZ etJepa? -What did you do yesterday?
- .fi tJuma;z KHuzy. - I read the book.
It is not important to the speaker whether or not there was a result of
the action.
2) - Tbz oo!lzo tJuma;z KHuzy? -Did you read the book for a long
time?
- .fi tJuma;z 2 tJaca. - I read for two hours.
The action went on for a defined period of time, with the process of
the action being emphasized.
3) Bo epeMfl omnycKa Jl Ka:JICOblU oeHb IJUmaJl KHU2U.
During my vacation I read books every day.
The action was repeated many times.
4) .fi IJUmaJl KHU2Y U C!lYUW!l MY3bZKy.
I read a book and listened to music.
Kozoa fl tJuma;z KHuzy, cecmpa c!lyuta;za MY3bZKy.
When I read a book, my sister listened to music.
The actions occur simultaneously.
Uses of the perfective aspect:
1)- Tbz npotJuma;z 3my KHuzy?- Have you finished this book?
-,!{a, oaeHO npotJUmaJl.- Yes, I finished it a long time ago.
The result of the action is stressed.
2) CnopmcMeH npbl2HYll Ha 6 Mempoe.
The athlete jumped 6 meters.
A one-time action.
270 HPATHMA OIIEPH PYCCHOA rPAMMATMHM
3) Bllepa Jl. npOilUma.Jl KHUZY U noutiilz 6 KUHO.

Yesterday I read a book and went to a movie.
KoziJa R npol.luma.Jl KHuzy, R noutell 6 KuHo.
When I finished the book, I went to a movie.
Two actions occurring in succession, both with results.
In order to determine the aspect of the verb belonging to an aspect
pair, you need to know the formal indicators of aspects and the methods
of their formation.
Indicators of imperfective Indicators of perfective
aspect aspect
1) nucam& - no prefix 1) Hanucam& - with prefix
2) cnpautu6am& - the suffix 2) cnpocum&- no suffix -u6a-
-u6a- (-bl6a-) (-&z6a-)
iJa6am& - the suffix -6a- iJam& -no suffix -6a-
3) peutam&- the suffix -a- 3) peutum&- the suffix -u-
4) K]JUI.lam& -the suffix -a- 4) KpUKHym&- the suffix -Hy-
5) 6pam& - various roots 5) 63Rmb - various roots
Many verbs do not have an aspect pair; they exist in either imperfec-
tive or perfective aspect.
7. Imperative
The imperative of Russian verbs have two forms: 2nd person singu-
lar and 2nd person plural. Imperatives are formed from the stem of the
present tense of verbs in the imperfective aspect or of the future tense of
verbs in the perfective aspect.
Formation of the imperative
1) If the stem ends in a vowel, -il is added for 2nd person singular and
-ilme is added for 2nd person plural.
l.lumam& - l.lumaro - l.lumail - l.lumailme
pa6omam& - pa6oma10- pa6omai1-pa6omai1me
maHI4e6am& - maH14Y10 - maH14yi1- maH14yi1me
iJam& - da.M - iJaii - iJailme
2) If the stem ends in a consonant, -u is added for 2nd person singular
and -ume is added for 2nd person plural.
CMompem& - cMompro - cMompu - CMompume
zo6opum& - zo6opro- zo6opu- zo6opume
8. Conditional mood
The Conditional mood is formed using 1) the past tense of the verb;
2) the particle 6&z, which can be placed after or before the verb; 3) in
complex phrases the conjunction ec/lu is used.
Jl c yoo60JlbCm6ueM noutiill 6bz 6 KUH.o.

I would go to a movie with pleasure.
In complex phrases, 6bz is placed on both parts of the phrase.
EcJlu 6bz R rynUJl 6UJlembz, R nouliill 6bz 6 KUHO.
If I had bought tickets, I would have gone to the movie.
10. Reflexive verbs

There is a large number of Russian verbs with the reflexive particle
-cR (-cb) on the end.
Note:
-cRafter consonants: oOe6ambcR, yMbZ6ambCR
-Cb after vowels: ooe6a10Cb, YMbl6a10Cb
Reflexive verbs are divided into the following groups:
1) Proper reflexive verbs: The action is reflected to the active per-
son. The meaning of the particle -cR in this case is synonymous with the
meaning of ce6R.
MyJICIJUH.a ooeBaemcR (m.e. ooe6aem CaM ce6R).
The man gets dressed (dresses himself).
/JeBOIJKa npuiJeCbZ6aemcR (m.e. npuiJecbZ6aem caMa ce6R).
The girl brushes her hair (brushes it herself).
2) Reciprocal-reflexive verbs: one and the same action, is occurring
with two or more people.
Iloopyzu BcmpemUJlucb u o6H.RJlUCb.
The girls met and hugged each other.
3) General reflexive verbs: indicate changes in movement, situation,
the beginning or end of an action.
011. ocmaH.a6UJlCR y Mempo.
He stopped near the metro station.
C!JUJlbM H.aiJuH.aemcR 6 2 IJaca.
The movie is beginning at 14:00 o'clock.
There are verbs which do not exist without the reflexive ending -cR:
CMeRmbCR, Yllbz6ambCR, H.aOeRmbcR, 6oRmbcR, cmapambcR, and others.
Reflexive verbs are conjugated using the regular First and Second Conjuga-
tions.
272 HPATHMA O'IEPH PYCCHOA rPAMMATMHM
Adverbs
The use of adverbs
1. The adverbs of manner, place and time of action denote:
a) the manner of action (how? l<aK?)
KaK- how, maK- thus, HUKaK- no way;
b) the place of action (where? zoe?)
30ec& - here, mCLM - there, pRiJoM - close, iJaJleKo - far,

ceib1ac -now, nomOM- then, eceziJa- always, o6wmo- usu-
ally, uHoziJa- sometimes, peiJKo - seldom, y;)!Ce- already,
ett~e - yet, noC/le - after.
2. The adverbs of manner denote:

a) action (how? KaK?}
zpoMKo nem&, zoeopumb - to sing, speak loudly
6&zcmpo exam& -to drive quickly
b) feature:
O'leHb Kpacuea.Jl - very beautiful

1) Declension of cardinal numerals is characterized by absence of

the category ofnumber and gender (except 1: oouH (m.), ooHa (f.), ooHo
(n.), and 2: oea (m., n.), oee (f.).
Note: oouH, ooHa, ooHo =alone (adjective-pronoun);

m&zc.Rtta, MwuzuoH, Mwuzuapo are nouns.
The declension of 2, 3, 4, resembles that of plural possessive pro-
nouns:
Nominative .l{Ba, .l{Be TPH qeTblpe
Genitive Jl:Byx T}Jex qeTblpex
Dative Jl:BYM TpeM qeTblpeM
Accusative Nom. or Gen. Nom. or Gen. Nom. or Gen.
Instrumental Jl:BYMH TpeMH qeTbipbMH
Prepositional o Jl:Byx o Tpex o qeTbipex
2) The declension of 5-20 is identical with declension of feminine
nouns ending in -&.
3) Usage of cases with numbers:
1 accusative (oouH ttac)
2-4 genitive singular (2 ttaca, 3 ttaca, 4 ttaca)
5, 6 ... genitive plural (5 ttacoe, 20 ttacoe)
2. Ordinals
1) Ordinal numbers are adjectives. All ordinals except for nepe&zu
(first) and emopou (second) are derived from the corresponding cardi-
nals:
a) with the aid of suffixes:
third- mpemuu, fourth- ttemeepm&zu, fortieth- copoKoeou,
thousandth- m&zcRttH&zu;
b) or without suffixes, but with the ending -&zu:
fifth- nRm&zu, tenth- oec.Rm&zu.
18-619
274 KPATKMM O'IEPK PYCCKOM rPAMMATMKM
c) Seventh - ceobMOU has a modified stem.

2) Only the final element of compound ordinal numerals has the spe-
cial ordinal ending: 551-nRmbcom nRmboecRm nep6blU. Compare with
English: five hundred fifty first.
3. Ordinals change like adjectives by gender, number and case.
