Please, when you see something written in Cyrillic, don't assume right away that it's russian. Russian is not the only language that uses Cyrillic. There are also Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Serbian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Mongolian.

It's a sensitive topic especially for us Ukrainians because russian language is a weapon. It's a colonial language, it's presented like one and only true slavic language, it erases and replaces other languages. Belarusian is literally on the verge of extinction because of russian. Ukrainian has been banned 134 times throughout history, it is still called a "village language", a dialect of russian. Russian colonialism is literally the reason why there are so many russian speaking people in Ukraine (I was one of them btw). Ukrainian is banned on russian occupied territories and people are getting in trouble or even killed for using it there, Ukrainian POWs in russian captivity are getting brutally beaten for speaking Ukrainian.

Like okay, I can get why there's this confusion, so here's a clue to understand that the language you're looking at definitely is not russian — the letter і. If you see ї (like i but with two dots) it's 100% Ukrainian. If you see j it's Serbian. Russian alphabet also doesn't have such letters as Ђ, Љ, Њ, Ў, Џ (dont confuse with Ц ). Yes, it's not always gonna be easy to detect that the language in front of you is not russian, but when you have trouble with it just ask or run it through any translation app and it'll probably tell you the language.

Hope this will be helpful.

I have been learning Russian for two and a half months ("I wanna read Dostoyevsky in the original" - the queen's gambit) and it's such a simple language, apart from the pronouns.

Pronouns are horrible in Russian :(

Stay yourself, stay curious

people you meet in russian class

kid who knows a ton of molchat doma and kino songs, but keeps forgetting how to say "hello"

heritage speaker who knows vocab but not grammar rules, who's besties with the language fiend who knows grammar but not vocab (this was my friend and I)

kid with scary politics

bored tech genius who speaks russian with the thickest american accent you've ever heard

the alt/goth kid. there's always one.

the one who always shows up late and gets called out by the professor every time

the one who dropped out as soon as they heard about genitive case

retired old guy who was in the military and is awkwardly singing cheburashka songs in the back of the classroom with the rest of the students

humanities student intimidated by all their stem and polsci classmates (this was also me)

"cyka blyat lol edgy communism memes" kid who really wants to commit to the bit

quiet slavic kid who never talks but is somehow tight with the professor

the one a little too into soviet history

the one who never tried to learn to read cyrillic

the one who insists on writing in russian cursive, despite the fact that none of the other students can read it and the professor keeps correcting it (this was also me. we didn't even have to learn cursive. I just wanted to learn it for historical research purposes)

the one romanov apologist (may also believe they're a reincarnation of anastasia romanova)

Learning Russian on Duolingo

Edit: Fixed “моя яблоко” to say “ мое яблоко ”. This is what I get for not consulting my notes.

Russian word of the day: Лапша

Лапша́ - inanimate noun, first declension, feminine

Root лапш

Ending а

Plural form: лапши́ (that a stressed и, not a й)

It means noodles

There's a saying "вешать лапшу на уши" which literally translates to "to hang noodles on someone's ears" and means to lie, to deceive

С наступающим!

[s nastupayuschim]

Here's your Russian phrase of the day (or rather, week). It means "Happy upcoming [New Year]" and is used to wish a happy new year to people who you will likely not see/interact with until after the year turns.

Used lots this week in places like the office, shops and any place where you buy or get something, when saying goodbye to taxi drivers, delivery people, gym clerks, house maintenance etc. etc.

This is a figurative expression (idiom, excuse).

When a person is tired of doing something, he says "я не могу". then the interlocutor can say consonant "через немогу" - it means "though you can't do anything, but you must. try your best."
