A Russian native speaker’s perspective on the Russian language

For those of you learning Russian or just curious about it :)

  • spelling is a mess 
  • punctuation is even worse: you have to know 76487658 rules and conduct a 10-step linguistic analysis to put proper punctuation marks in a more or less complex sentence
  • we constantly mix up similar-looking letters in English and Russian on the keyboard
  • everyone’s New Year resolution is to brush up their English
  • no one actually says ‘zdrav-stvuj-teh’ (здравствуйте, hello). It’s usually ‘zdras-tu-te’, ‘zdras-te’ (the most common variant), or even ‘dras-te’ (there is a russian meme ‘дратути’ (dra-tu-tee) mocking a way of shortening the word)
  • in fast speech it’s normal to drop like 10-20% of sounds 
  • there are quite a few widely used words an expressions originated from criminal argot, presumably left over after mass imprisonment under Stalin
  • the common way to address a stranger is мужчина, женщина or девушка (literally ‘man, woman, [young] girl’). Everyone finds it weird and inconvenient, but can’t to come up with smth else
  • Russian swear words sound way ruder than English ones (still almost everyone swears)
  • quite a lot of English words don’t have well-sounding alternatives in Russian (words like self-consciousness, counterintuitive, a rule of thumb will sound strange translated literally)
  • …but good luck translating 50 shades of meaning of Russian diminutives (кошка, кошечка, киса, кисонька, кисуля, кисулечка vs cat or kitty)
  • don’t ask me how Russian works without articles and link verbs, it’s probably just black magic
  • the Russian language is amazing. I’m fucking blessed to speak it as a first language.

HAPPY 41st BIRTHDAY, BENEDICT! (July 19, 1976)
“I don’t make birthday wishes or I do but for other people, that’s not because I’m…a saint, it’s just because genuinely the only thing I need on my birthday is to be with the ones I love, my closest and dearest friends and family.”

IVAN VASILIEVICH SUCCUMBS TO DEPRESSION

A couple of years ago Ivan Vasilievich (Ivan the Terrible) memes became popular in Russian internet. Such meme is created by combining a picture of the infamous Tsar as played by Yuri Yakovlev in the Leonid Gaidai classic comedy Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future and adding a line that rhymes with the movie’s original title in Russian Ivan Vasilievich Menyayet Professiyu || Ivan Vasilievich Changes His Occupation.

IVAN VASILIEVICH SOLVES A (GEOMETRIC) PROGRESSION

The meme quality goes up if, instead of using a screencap, you paste the Tsar’s figure on some random but appropriate photo.

IVAN VASILIEVICH DISAPPROVES OF REPRESSIONS

Doesn’t even have to be the full figure, even Ivan Vasilievich’s head alone will do!
