Added:Hello and welcome to my channel. Short story number 36 of 36 five.
[snorts] [laughter] And again I forgot to come up with a title.
Let's say sheets.
Da V.
Let's write the first part of this short story and we are going to translate it at the end.
So, Alex student Alexi student Alexi student.
Alexi student.
Don't forget to practice with me out loud. Try to imitate my pronunciation.
for [clears throat] C >> [snorts] >> Next.
stay. Sorry.
Z.
Okay. forotch.
[clears throat] Uh now let's translate this part talk about pronunciation uh verbs and uh cases [snorts] to study every day is important. This is the title or not stressed pronounce it as a M student. Alex is a student. Alex is a very common Russian name. So he is a student.
He lives in Moscow and studies at the university not stressed will be pronounced as e every day he wakes up early wakes up you is always stressed.
Here this V is located near unvoiced consonant. When voiced consonant located near unvoiced it will become unvoiced too. So V will be pronounced as F here.
So he wakes up early, have breakfast and goes to uh classes, lectures.
What about verbs? Um here is an imperfective because we are talking in general about learning studying every day also because we have every day here. So after every day of course the verb will be imperfective because imperfective about is about something that happens every day every week regularly. So is imperfective.
He lives in Moscow right now in present.
So imperfective as well and studies imperfective because it's happening right now. It's happening right now.
Every day after every day all the verbs will be in imperfective.
Every day he wakes up. He has breakfast and he goes to the classes. Uh, imperfective imperfective imperfective because he does it every day.
Very good.
What about cases? Um, he lives in Moscow shows us location, right? So when we are talking about location we use prepositional case where in Moscow and we have a preposition ver here uh every day is a duration um repeated time and here we will use aquousive case. So is inacquisitive.
Nothing will change here. The endings will remain the same as in nominative because it's masculine in animate. It will remain the same. But you should know that this is accusative to classes.
is accusative plural uh because it's a movement to a direction. So we will use accusative case here. Now let's read one more time each sentence. I will give you time to repeat. Practice with me out loud. Try to imitate my pronunciation.
So um studying every day is important.
Alex student.
Very good. Let's continue with our short story.
And the next sentence is Anglic Park.
Try to translate this sentence by yourself.
We are going to translate it together after we will finish this short story.
[snorts] [clears throat] D was it?
Wait for night.
on the night.
Kashi special. Now let's [clears throat] translate this part. Talk about pronunciation and grammar.
He loves reading book study Russian or English language and walk around the park after after the classes after um isoba literally means education but in this context it means after classes. is [sighs] so um here this ya will be reduced we are going to pronounce it as e so English language every day he returns home come back home and doing his homework. [snorts] Not stressed, pronounce it as a pronounces.
Same here or not stress pronounced a deal.
He knows that studying every day, learning every day is important or not stressed pronounced as a what about verbs?
He loves reading in general always. Uh, of course, it's imperfective. We can't use perfective here because it's not a one-time action, not a finished action.
study.
Not a one-time action. He It's a period of time. It's a process. So imperfective as well.
He loves taking walks in the park. Of course, imperfective as well. Every day after every day, we always use imperfective. So returns, come back home is imperfective.
and does his homework. Imperfective as well because he always does that. He knows imperfective. Of course, he always knows. It's not a one time action.
And again, to study every day, of course, uh when we have every day, the verb will be imperfective. [snorts] What about cases? So uh he loves reading what books books will be in accusative although nothing will be changed here it will remain the same books uh it's accusative because it's a direct object of the verbat to read what books say with it's accusative as well it's masculine nothing will be changed here in accusative but it's the direct object of the verb isuch isuchhat If we would have for example math after study to study math to study something in feminine to study literature the endings would change [snorts] because in accusative feminine change endings change but not in masculine like here to walk in the Park shows us location.
So of course is prepositional kids after classes after after the noun will always be in genative case. So became genative because we have this word here after. Mhm.
What else?
Okay. I wanted to write. Yes. Every evening.
Ve every evening. Every evening is repeated time. So um uh it is in accusative case.
Masculine will remain the same. Nothing will be changed here.
He returns home is an adverb. So no case here and does his homework. Homework here in accusative because it's the direct object of the verb deal. Does what?
Homework. [snorts] So accusative. But again nothing will happen here because it's neuter. Neuter accusative will remain the same. Um Every day is accusative because repeated time uh expresses time time expression.
So it will be in accusative although nothing will be changed because it's masculine.
Uh please let me know in comments what words were you for you. Um, for example, it can be the word the verb to return to come back. Let's write a few words that may be new for you in a short story.
Let's start with the verb to return to come back. This verb is in imperfective aspect. Uh so we used it in our um short story. Um literally means home task. Basically in English homework in Russian home task [clears throat] to study to learn.

What else?

Va important.
[clears throat] To have breakfast.
[snorts] >> [clears throat] >> to wake up.
