Putin doll. Fire. What is written there? It says Russia. Russia. Amazing. Oh! Medvedev should be there. Who is this? No. Who is this really? Yeltsin? No, this is Stalin. Stalin inside Lenin. Hello, friends! Today it's Max and the lovely Anastasia with you. Anastasia, yes. Anastasia is also a Russian language teacher. She has her own YouTube channel. She is a very, very experienced teacher, in general. a beauty and a wonderful person. Here. Be sure to visit her channel if You haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure everyone already knows about her channel. You can't help but know about it. Here. Today we're strolling around Saint Petersburg together, and we want to record a video. About those filler words, Nastya. What exactly are these filler words? How do you see them, really? These are filler words. Filler words are words that we insert into speech. When we think about what we'll say later, yes, in a second, but these very words They mean nothing. And in this context, they carry no meaning at all. In English, words like "you know" or "like" — there are people who use these phrases. This word every three or four words. It sounds very ugly. For example, me. Alright, today we have a few filler words for you, about... Which you don't need to tell. Which you often don't need to tell, but in general they are not for you They will give you a pause so that you can think about something. Well, first of all, you need to know about them at least so that when you listen In real life, a Russian person, you must understand that this word, it means nothing No, it doesn't mean that. Yes, everything is correct. It's not necessary, yes, for understanding. So, first, the word, let's go Let's start with it. And this word is shorter. Ah, a good word, incidentally, by itself, if it's not a parasite. Yes, a shorter word usually means we want to get straight to the point, yes. what we want is to shorten something, to say it more concisely, more compactly, but in reality we often We're using it for the wrong purpose. Yes, the word itself is shorter, a normal word, this is comparative degree of the adjective "short" — we say "shorter" and we say "shorter" fewer words, yes, than they had planned earlier, for example. But some people He uses it too often, and it's already ugly. For example, well, anyway, Nastya, come on Let's go and sit at a restaurant right now. No, seriously, let's go to a café instead. because at that restaurant, I don't know, it's too expensive. Well, anyway, I don't know, maybe we can Just, well... Let's order pizza? Yeah, basically, let's order pizza. When it's too much, yeah, that's it Ugly and better to avoid. Everything is correct. The second word, my favorite, is the word "nu." Something like that Can you tell me about this word? Just filling the silence. Unlike "shorter," I think here it's... There's no sense to it at all. Yes, there's no particular meaning here. We're just saying, well, maybe It's just a little hesitation. For example, Nastya, shall we go to a restaurant together? Well, I don't know... I don't have time right now. Well, maybe we could go to the movies? Well, I don't like movies—they're so dark there. Okay, great. The next word is this. This usually means this, right, this is Max, this is Nastya. But often we also use it as a verbal tic. When we hesitate, when we ourselves don't Confident, we say, well, this, I, probably, don't want to go to the cinema. What do you mean, well? I think there's absolutely no way There's really no sense to it either, just like there wasn't before. It's simply filling in the silence. Absolutely. So then, The next word is just a bomb. The next word is like. Like. Hate it. Moreover, people They write it. Often. And they write it incorrectly too, with an O at the end. Like this. Yes, it's terrible. Don't write it Like. Like. Well, for example, the same thing. This, well, like, doesn't make sense. For example, well, here, this, Like, a microphone. Well, and it's, like, black. As if I don't fully believe it's actually a microphone, and I don't I'm sure this is black, and I'm inserting this thing here, like this. Doubts again. In English Like, kind of, right? I mean, yes, yes. It seems like the rain is starting. The rain is starting. Okay, then we Let's move on to the next word. And the next word is "like." Like. People often say it. And I think it's more like a garden. That is, we want to explain that it's not a park, but rather a garden. But, Although it's just a garden. That is, once again, there's no point in using it. Yes, don't use it. I think it's quite possible, when we try, when a person doesn't fully master the vocabulary When his vocabulary is limited, he starts using these parasitic words everywhere. insert. For example, well, it's kind of a park. A person, for instance, doesn't know the word "garden" or can't remember it The word "garden." He says, well, it's kind of like a park, but... Yulia. Or he's not sure what he's saying. Yes, great. And the last word for today is, well, you know, like, uh, a filler word. Yulia. How Like. How this is filled in by an unnecessary pause. And in general, the word itself, I mean, I'm just thinking, well, in a way, they could actually be used in normal speech, you know. When it's needed. I mean, if I really want to show... Max. You just said, I mean, I mean... If I... Yes, that's a good example of using the word "that is." Yulia. The case when it isn't a verbal parasite. But sometimes people, filling their pause, think too long about what they want to say In the next instant, they fill in with "that is." And what I dislike the most is when people still go on A few words of parasites are just shoved straight in, a whole bunch of them. Well, you know, like, sort of, you know... How about you? You get it? Too often. You get it? Well, you get it. Do you get it or do you know? These are two more filler words Such people, as a bonus. I think they are individuals who lack self-confidence and constantly seek support. Yes, some kind of support. Help me. You understand me, don't you? You understand me? Don't use them. Not for the sake of variety. Or perhaps they're using it as an excuse. For example, Max, why didn't you study? Chinese language? Well, you know, I've basically... You know, I haven't lived in China for very long, you know, uh... You understand, it's a complicated language, you know, like, this kind of speech. My dad has Word parasite, the most. The most? Yes, very unusual. And the most sometimes is also this most. Here, another third Word bonus. And he always adds it at the end. And most likely, he does it when he's nervous. That is, I recently also took an interview from him, which I haven't uploaded to the channel yet, and here it is there after each one The sentence is almost spoken at the very end. And it's not even a cut, because he doesn't pause between them. It just seamlessly blends with the previous word as one. So, friends, you can use parasitic words, but they shouldn't be used too frequently. After all, their purpose might still be to give Just a quick pause. Thank you, everyone, for watching this video. This was Anastasia Semina and Max. And please write in the comments which filler words you know, or perhaps You're using it. Okay? I'll be waiting. Bye for now!
