3 Russian Verbs for your Daily Conversations! #1

Hey everyone! Welcome to my channel. My name is Alina, and I'm a Russian teacher. Today I want to start another series of videos that can help you to learn Russian verbs. Verbs, as you know, are the most important part of each language, because without verbs we simply cannot speak. So today you're gonna learn three verbs of different levels, and they are both aspects past, present, future tenses, and imperative form. Also I'm gonna share with you the cases that these verbs are usually taken, and you'll be able to see the situations where you can use these verbs correctly. Like this, you can take these verbs to your daily Russian conversations and use them without any doubt. Let's begin! Today we're gonna look at three different verbs. A one-level verb is встречать-встретить. A two-level verb will be мешать-помешать. And B one-level verb will be предлагать-предложить. And let's start with the first verb A one-level встречать-встретить. Встречать is imperfective. Встретить is perfective. Let's begin with встречать. In the present tense it'll be Past tense will be And future tense And imperative form of this verb is Then встретить-perfective aspect. Present tense here doesn't exist. So let's move on to the past tense And the future tense Imperative form is This verb is usually followed by the accusative case if you are talking about the direct object to meet who or what. And also it can be used with the prepositional case if you're talking about the place where you're meeting someone. And like this we can say Мою подругу – accusative case. На улице – prepositional. And one more example Then let's move on to the second verb A two-level мешать-помешать. First imperfective мешать. Present tense Past tense And the future tense Imperative form Then perfective aspect Present tense doesn't exist. Past tense Future tense Imperative form Pet mentioned that this verb can be used in different meanings. One is to disturb someone and another one is to mix something. And like this if we talk about disturbing someone it'll be the Like this we can say Also if you're talking about Also dative case. But if you're talking about mixing something it'll be direct object therefore the accusative case It's a little bit better to say But a lot of people are also using this verb мешать in this situation. And also this one can be used with the prepositional case again if you're talking about the place. Like we can say And the last verb for today B1 level Imperfective Present tense Past tense And the future tense Imperative form Then perfective aspect Present tense doesn't exist. Past tense And future tense Imperative form This verb also we can use with two cases. If you are offering something it'll be accusative case as a direct object And if you're offering something to someone it'll be dative case recipient of your offer Like this I can say And that's it. Like this you can learn the verbs, the forms and the situations where you can use them As you can see usually one verb has more than one case that is using. That's why I always say that it's better to learn the meanings for each case and like this it'll be easier for you to understand how and when to use specific verbs. But if you don't know the meanings of the cases you can try to memorize cases that each of these verbs takes. It's also helpful. But don't forget that I have both courses about the cases and about the aspects of the verbs on Udemy where you can learn both topics with my help. Thank you very much for watching!
