Today I am talking about the particle ЖЕ. It is very intuitive and natural to Russian natives, and it was hard trying to find the meanings of this word. After some research I could put in a video. Hope it was clear and easy to understand.

I think it can be simplified: consider же as an emphasizer. The core meaning of the sentence does not change when же is removed. However when же is added you add emphasis. This video was useful in showing different ways that emphasis can be added with же. Thanks for posting
Nick well explained
It's absolutely incorrect. же isn't emphatic particle. It's like "А" in russian. "Я играю в футбол, А мой папа играет в теннис"
@@sabakhelashvili6360 Yes, you are right. And I think if one conclude 'же' as an emphatic particle, the third usage mentioned above in this video will also be left out, since no one would use an emphatic particle to ask another person specify a general concept. I am just saying that, saying someone is INDEED from Georgia doesn't magically make him from Tbilisi...
This is oversimplifying, you can use this as an introduction in order to give the learner an idea of the concept behind this particle and then go on with the different uses, which you have to explain in detail or no one would get how to use it.
Yes, @Nick you're absolutely right. However thinking about же as an emphatic particle lets you _understand_ it easily but it's not so useful in order to actually _use_ it because it's not used for just any emphasis but in particular situations. That's where Fedya's more detailed explanation really helps
Hi Fedor, I like your explanations very much. They're always helpful. I guess it's just because: ты же Федя. 😉
Haha, thank you!
Lol cute!
This is the highest level of language learning right here! Making puns with words you just learned haha!
A 100 points indeed!
I'm a native Russian speaker, so it's cool to see all these explanations, as I never would've thought about it myself. Thanks
После просмотра этого видео я убедился насколько наш язык не прост :)
Да , это же русский язык 😏😏

When people make memes about how wholesome people are, why don't they include Fedor?
I feel like the word "whereas" works better than "while"
and 'but' or 'yet', in certain circumstances
“However “will also work
@@spokanefan lll
’on the other hand’ could also work, I think
"Whereas" and "however" are both better. "While" has more to do with time relationship - e.g. when 2 events are taking place simultanously, but this is not the case here.
‘However’ makes more sense for me than ‘while’ for же in the contrast. I play tennis, my dad however plays hockey. She likes cats, I however like dogs. She wants ice cream, I however want cake. Fits the word order better for me. Thanks for EVERYTHING you do!!!
I've felt the same, because in German I'd have inserted "allerdings" in those cases.
I was thinking 'whereas' could work well as a translation also, but it doesn't quite fit the word order the same. Then it'd have to be I play tennis, whereas my dad plays hockey
Thank you! You are truly an incredible teacher. You really do have a gift for explaining the Russian language to the English speaker. I am very new to Russian, and when I discovered the 6 grammatical cases, I thought I would cry...UNTIL I found your videos. Your explanation of combining the preposition with the noun to make a new word with a different ending made so much sense to me. Perhaps I read that in a book, but I didn't get it until I heard you explain it. What I love the most about your channel is the cultural perspective you provide. That is something you could never get from a book. Thank you again. I think that your family must be very proud of you. Меня зовут KoralMae. Я немного Говорю по-русски.
Definitely Mr. Fyodor is excellent!
@@beasheerhan4482 correct sentence would be: Я Говорю немного по-русски.
@@DriPxAlex no. Correct: Я немного говорю (not Говорю) по-русский.
@@user-us6mt4fh3d по-*русски*
Koral Mae - I studied Russian in college forty years ago, and it has helped me in ways I never expected. I’m a retired programmer, and EVERY interviewer noticed that I had “Russian” on the list of spoken languages I knew. This set me apart from the other candidates, and I usually got the job. Russian is a tricky language for English speakers, so, it shows that you are intellectually curious (many people aren’t) AND that you want to get along with people from around the world. Studying Russian says a lot of good things about you. Keep up the good work. You will be glad you did. Also, Russian is interesting!
“The very same" "This very place" Like that
I cannot thank you enough for your videos. You have a gift. Your teaching is so great and you truly take time in explaining all of this. Love this channel and will recommend to anyone trying to learn Russian.
это не могло быть объяснено лучше, чем ты сделал ! я иностранец и изучаю русский язык и сам знаю как использовать « ж» ну ты отлично объяснил , спасибо большое!
6 years later, you are still helpful большое спасибо!
It was crystal clear to me, dude. You express yourself perfectly. You make it easy to understand. Thank you very much.
As this is the first Be Fluent video I've watched, I can hardly believe how easily it sunk in. Thanks so much for these lessons; I'll see how it goes with some more of your work.
Привет, Федор! Я очень рад встретиться с вами сегодня твои видео! Я живу во Франции и я изучаю русский в течение 2 лет. Большинство других видео на KZhead с женщинами. Я тоже люблю их, но это не позволяет мне "записывать" голос русского мужчинам))) Еще кое-что: все учителя русского языка (и других языков), что я знаю, работают в "слуховой" (их мозг улавливает звук). Мы видим это благодаря движениям их глаз. И я работает в "визуальный" (мой мозг использует изображения)... как ты, Федор! Поэтому, когда я слышу твой отличный английский акцент, это дает мне надежду на то, чтобы иметь меня тоже день отличный русский акцент (и тоже английский!). Наконец, большое спасибо за урок. Я давно искал значение этого маленького слова "же"! До скорого!
О мой бох, да у тебя отличный Русский!
И мне нужен перевод за несколько слов 😢😢
@@cuprum9793 не боХ а боГ ))))))
ca a pas du etre facile d'assembler toutes ces phrases. Bravo
Мороженое (an ice cream) пишется с одной буквой "н". Если написать мороженное с двумя "н", то это слово станет причастием и будет означать frozen
Frozen is замороженный
@@ben1147 the ending can change depending on context.
József Vass what Deez nuts meant was that Jeremiah didn’t include the за at the beginning of the word, I think
@@ben1147 мороженное хородильником мороженое холодное. An ice cream that was being frozen with a fridge is cold.
Замороженное мороженое ))
Regarding the use in confirmation, I think what was hanging you up was throwing in the word "because". If you had just said it has the meaning of "of course", it would have been far easier for you, and would make complete sense. We do this in English too, when we are boasting about our own abilities, usually in a joking manner. Someone might ask me "Did you win the game last night?", and I might reply "Of course, what else did you expect?". I think this was the meaning you were trying to get across. I enjoy your videos, thank you for the help in learning your language :). PS my favourite hockey team is Sibir :)
But do you have such an analogue particle in English as in Russian ЖЕ?, if there is, how does it sound?
I didn't need this yet, but I think I understand your explanations. Good job!
Your teaching method is very effective. By the way, in the contrast section of this video, the word "wheras" instead of "while" would be more correct . "While" works in some examples, but in others. "Whereas" works in all and is more common. Thanks for all of your hard work.
I meant to say " ...but not in others.
Thank you! My English has improved a bit after your comment:)
I wonder if there is the same difference in Russian between English 'whlie' and 'whilst'? Admittedly, too many English people don't understand this even in their own language!
Another way to translate же in sentences of confirmation is to substitute the phrase "after all". "You got 100 points?" "Yes, after all, I'm Fedya." "She forgot the bread, again?" "After all, she didn't know where it was."
"of course" would also work.
@@ramgarramgar That's probably better.
@@DavidEmerling79 but both would befuddle most non-native English speakers, lol.
Much better than any explanation I've ever found in a book. Thanks, Fedor.
Finally, someone who can explain the nuances of this particle. Thank you, Fedya!
I found this channel and I fell in love with it immediately . Thanks for the lesson!
Love your videos! You make stuff so intuitive with all the examples !
Amazing explanation, thank you!
Thank you Fedor! Been learning for about a year and WOW am I glad to have found your channel!!!
From serbian point of view it's perfectly clear :)
What would be the Serbian word for 'же'? I am interested as Serbian is my second language and I couldn't think of anything in Serbian that translates to the same meaning as 'же'.
ichbins3338 Well, we do not have one word for же, it is about several other words which use depends on context. For instance we can use: док, па, баш, управо and већ. One example, ”Я же не ребёнок” translates as ”Pa nisam ja dete”
OK thanks, I initially thought you meant there was one Serbian word that would translate to же that I didn't knew of :)
ichbins3338 Sorry, serbian is unfortunately more complicated than that :) In general actually a bit more complicated than russian. We use one casus more...
Хвала лепо 🙂
Been looking for something like this for a long time, thanks
In the first example, "meanwhile" would work while keeping the word order. "I play tennis. My dad, meanwhile, plays hockey." In another translation of the original sentence, it would be "I play tennis while my dad plays hockey." As a native english speaker it can be difficult to compose sentences in Russian without applying english grammar rules, but it can be done if you think of it like my first example.
Fedor you are amazing.
I really like your videos man, keep it up!
Your a great instructor! Thank you very much!
Учу английский по твоим роликам. Спасибо!
Oh thank you, thank you so much, dude. I have been searching for a thorough explanation of this particle for weeks. Not even my friend in St. Petersburg knew how to explain this to me!!! I used this particle on an Instagram post and was afraid the usage was incorrect. This is by far the best thing I has seen in weeks!!! Once again, thank you so much!!!
Thank you for helping us, you made it so clear ♥️
Thank you! I'm so happy I came across your videos, they are very helpful and I like the way you teach!
Yes, I really enjoyed your explanation. Thank you.
It's easy. You're doing a good job. Спасибо!
Thank you for this video and all the rest also! They are so helpful! I am taking notes and writing your sentences as you go.
Big thanks from Sweden! Спасибо
Классное объяснение, спасибо!
Очень полезный канал! Я только что нашёл его. Я обязательно посмотрю ваши другие клипы! Спасибо Фёдор!
Важная тема и позитивное видео. Молодец!
Спасибо большое Федя! Ты помогал мне много, очень полезное видео 😁
Thanks for this again, your videos are quite useful ! I guess we also need a lot of practice in order to handle it !
Most helpful video about "же" for me. Thank you so much!!
Thank you! Great channel.
Отлично Федя!
Fdyor, you did a very good job explaining it. I recommend substituting "exactly" with "specifically."
Thanks a lot Fedor! I'm from Spain and I started to learn Russian a month ago. Your videos do not only help me a lot, but also keep my motivation up! Thanks for your time and effort into making these videos. спасибо за всe!
THANK YOU I’ve been confused by this for so long
Fantastic explanation! Thank you!
Very good job!! Thank you.
You are amazing I unerstanded it just from you Now i know how to use it Thank you very much❤️
I've always been fascinated with the Russian language, I discovered your channel this week, I'm loving it! Keep up the good work mate!
That was really well explained, thank you!
EXCELLENT EXPLANATIONS !!!!!
I think 'while' in your sentence is also served in English by 'however' 'nevertheless' or 'nonetheless' (I play tennis. My daddy, however, is playing hockey.)
Bee Sheerhan yeah, but adults don’t usually say “daddy” in English, which is why he read папа as “father.” Dad would have been fine, too, though.
I consider it to be more like 'whereas'.
I wouldn't translate отец or папа as "daddy", "daddy" is really really diminutive.. maybe very small children can use it, or it can be used to make insults.. some people use it in flirting
Also this form of "however" is quite formal and not used often colloquially or informally
@@isaacsechslingloff9894 Dear Isaac, thank you so very much for the comment. 'Daddy' is not a diminuitive in Dixie, which is my country, but, rather, what we call our fathers, both to their faces and when we are referring to them when they are absent. In any case, be well!
You narrate and teach clearly , thanks thanks thanksss !
Excellent. Well explained. It’s now remembering it! Thank you
Thanks so much! Very helpful!
You rock Fedor! Love from Tennessee
very easy to understand, thank you
Very well brought out and explained. This video helped a lot with understanding this unique Russian word. Огромное спасибо!
Поражаюсь тому, как ты все это объясняешь на английском!) Красаучег 👍
Good explaining even for me who have started to learn Russian literally two days ago. You gave very logical explanation
thank you, I find your explanations so inspiring! I have a long way to go, find the language super difficult, but I will keep on working. I'm from the Netherlands and fell in love with Siberia, have been several times in your city. Great place, and better with every word in Russian I can understand/speak.
Awesome video. Much needed. I understand же a lot more now! I think a good explanation of же is - its an enforcer of the sentence. It enforces nouns and verbs!
Very helpful lesson!
Makes perfect sense to me. Спасибо.
You are a great teacher for beginners!
Всё понятно (как всегда)! Мне очень нравится, когда же тебе нужно немного думать, до этого, как отъясняешь что-то дальше. Значит, ты отличный преподаватель. Большое спасибо ещё раз за великолепный урок!
Perfect lesson !!!!! Spasiba!
you are good! I am gonna share your channel to as many (preparatory) students as I can.
One can tell you love teaching, putting so much emphasis and soul trying to explain such a little and tricky word...
You taught me things which no techer in Language school ever did...Hope your channel cross Million of subscribers. 😌✌🏻💪🏻
This was a great video, Feodor! I think a great way to internalize this would be a 'quiz' where you provide several examples and the viewer has to determine which usage of 'zhe' is intended.
This is so helpful! Thank yoi!
You are phenomenal! I like your lessens. Greatings from Austria!
A fat LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Job, Федя!!!!
I’m very happy with your effort…… now it makes more sense to me
Excellent video. For these things u need time and lots of reading and listening. By time it all clears up.
i like your explainations... keep it up!!!
Здорово мастер Федор! во-первых, спасибо большое не только за это видео, а также за все другие потрясающие видео ты снял! Между прочим я бы был тебе очень благодарным, если ты снимешь видео про частицу " ведь". Спасибо заранее, я посоветую твой канал всем своим однокурсникам !!
I like them too. You are very expressive. I just saw the last entry and I need to go back and see the video on cases. I'm struggling... but I'm determined. Thanks again.
Super good explanation, I love your videos
отлично very well explained Fedor .
great explanation. Like you, I have never thought about this particle, but it is really difficult to explain what is it to others))))
I am learning a lot with this videos on my first time watching. You are very humble and down earth to be so young, I was going to hire a privet teacher, for Russian but I think I found it!!! Very nice Job!!! paka paka
Thank you mate. Your vids are super helpful and sort of help me build the confidence to move to Moscow to continue my education.
Very useful video... спасибо большое ❤❤
thanks so much for that explanation you are the best russian teatcher i have ever seen
I'm using this video just to practice my pronunciation ;) I started learning Russian this week as a lockdown project! :-D I've already learned so much thanks to you although my Russian is pretty much at 0 ;)
The best teacher in my life and very beatiful😱
So nice teacher ....
These videos are so under-rated. Your videos are excellent.
Hello! That's so great that you like the russian language! I also teach russian to foreigners in english and in french! I add different videos on my channel about russian too (and some videos with my hobbies) Maybe if you find something helpful and interesting there I will be happy if you subscribe :)
Good job explaining this. I understood
Thank you fyodor, your videos were very helpful for me! Greetings from Turkey ;)
Great video. More explanation always helps.
Your English has gotten very good. You are a smart man.
