Common irregularities are noted in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 contains more on pronunciation, Other irregularities are noted in the Russian-English vocabulary. Stress ‘Stress (indicated by ’) is very important - however many syllables there are in a word, only one of them can be stressed. Every time you Team a new word, make sure you learn which syllable is stressed. If ‘you get the stress wrong then your Russian will sound rather strange ~ jst as your English would sound strange if you emphasized the wrong syllable (e.g, hétel, visit). in Russian the stressed vowel is “given its full value’ (it is pronounced quite distinctly) whereas the unstressed vowel is passed over quickly, almost ‘thrown away’. This is heard most clearly with ‘o’. If an ‘o” comes immediately before the stressed syllable of the word, it is ‘reduced’ to a sound rather like the ‘a’ in the English word ‘matter’: e.g. Moexna (Moscow). In any other position in the word, an unstressed ‘o’ is pronounced like the second syllable of ‘matter’: répoa. (See Appendix 2 for further details on how stress affects vowels ~ note 8.) Note that the letter & always carries the stress. Tn texts where the stress is not indicated (which includes most Russian publications), the two dots are not normally marked above this leter. Note that stress is marked in all words in the dialogues, role-play exercises, conversations, reading texts, commentaries, key phrases, grammars and vocabularies. ‘:douoeu mea jeseeja “HOdssed nov” PLOMVALE KOU In this unit you will learn. ‘+ how to respond to requests for personal information and identification + some forms of courtesy® ATeMOR ‘adouoey mes 10 [Dialogue ‘Anna Prince, a tourist from England, has just arrived at Sheremetevo firport in Moscow and is passing through passport control and customs, A young man at passport ‘control checks her passport; she then moves on to customs where a young worhan checks her luggage and currency declaration.

On entering Russia visitors must give details of money, traveller's cheques and other valuables they have with them on their currency deciaration form (geknapaysa) and this is checked again when they leave Russia. @aminua Surname ‘Anna supplies her sumame (hamitmas) and her first name (és) Russians would also give their patronymic (6T¥ecTB0) - a middle name derived ftom their father's first name and usually ending in -oBHa of -eBHa (for a Woman) and -oBHH or -eBME (for 2 man). ‘Women's suames usually end in -a (which is why Tolstoy's novel is so called: Anna is married to a man called Karenin}: Father's name Fullname Taniva —TlerpGoaBaginarp ania Brapympoowa Nevpdsa Eopic — Terp6eCepréi Bopic CepréenmiMerpos | Vipin EropooaHimcondii——Vipina Hiwandesna Eroposa | Anexcéii Néanoan4 Erépon ‘There is no Russian equivalent for the English ‘tities’ Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss; members of the family, close friends, children and young people ‘address each other by the first name (or a ‘diminutive’ — affectionate ~ version ofthe first name, ¢.g. the diminutive of CBetnéita is Caéra); in ‘more formal situations the first name and patronymic are used. So, Tania Bnagammpona Netpéea would be known as Fania (or ‘diminutive Tans) to her close friends and formally as Tannna ‘Bnaginmmposna. Topapay (comrade), which used to be used with the surname as an official form of address (or to address someone whose name you didn’t know), is no longer used and rocnoaiy Mr (feminine rocno»é Mrs) has come back into usage as an official form of address, Bei You In Russian there are two ways of saying you; Bb is used to indicate ‘both singular (i.e. one person) and plural (more than one) ~ in the former case, it is the polite form of address used when talking to someone you don't know, or don't know very well (ike the French word vous). f you are speaking to a member of your family, a close friend or ‘a chiki, you would use the word Tht (Ike the French word tu). ° gE ea a3 8 10TeiaHAueNou ‘adouseu mea bo Sapascreyitre!

Grammar 1 ‘The’ and ‘a’ ‘There are no words in Russian for she (the definite article) or a (the indefinite article), so nfenopr means the passport or a passport. 2 ‘Tobe’ ‘The verb to be is not used in Russian in the present tense (Fam, vou are and s0 on). So Bsr Typiier (which means literally you tourist) is the way of saying you are a tourist. If both words separated by the ‘missing’ verb to be are nouns, a dash may be used: Mos anism ~ Tlerpéra. 3 Statements and questions The only difference between a statement and a question in written ‘Russian is that a question ends with a question mark... anda statement does not! ‘There is no change in word order: Auma typrictxa.

The education reforms of 1984 made education compulsory between the ages of six and 17. For pre-school children, up to the age of three, ‘there are créches (fen). and: for, three- to. six-year-olds' there’ is the kindergarten (nétcKmit cap). Education used tobe’ free and open access; however, there are now fee-paying private secondary schools (and terms such’ as/ nMuéi and raMHéanA have reappeared).

Grammar 1 Verbs a Forming the present tense We saw in Unit 1 that the verb to be is not used in the present tense in Russian, but this is an exception.

The lists below show that the two sets of numerals have a lot in common, but note that the ordinals are actually adjectives: ‘Telling the time ‘on the hour’ is quite straightforward: simply state the appropriate cardinal numeral and fol ~ in the nominative singular after 1, genitive singular after 2,3, 4 and the genitive plural after five and above: CxéatsKo cefisde Hac. One o'clock. Bpéwenn? CxémsKo cetisée ‘Tpu sac. Three o'clock. spérmeut? CKéan.Ko celtic Hésars wacés. Nine o'clock. mpémens? (You will also hear Korépssit wac? as a way of asking What time is i?) Tien ations cntens en 603 itfesou svifoxto onauron® 0 60 “To tell the time on the left-hand side of the clock (je. minutes to the hour), use the word 63 (without), which is always followed by the genitive case*; 80, if to say ten 10 five what you are literally saying in Russian is without ten five: Bes aecarit nat. Bea uérpeprat Tp (nérnepte (F.) quarter). To deal with the half hour, you need the prefix noa- (half) and you attach this to the appropriate ordinal numeral; if you want to say half past five in Russian, what you literally say is half of the sixth hour, ‘which is why the ordinal numeral needs to be in the genitive case: Tomnecréro or Hostopittia mecréro. Half past five. Tloameciroro or Tloutopitna aectroro. Half past nine. ‘You must think ahead in this way whenever you are dealing with the right-hand side of the clock (i.e. minutes past the hour): “Uerseprs cempméro. Ikcarh many tpérbero. To say am. use né-mn for the very early hours and yrpa (literally of the ‘moming); for p.m. use su (of the day) and nésepa (of the evening): Ilécars sacée yrpa (10 am.); werstpe saci sux (4 p.m), comm vacde pésepa (7 p.m); Aba acd HOw (2 a.m). Note also némens (mnidday) and néanow (midnight). ‘To answer the question Ar what time? the preposition w is used, except in the case of minutes to the hour: Bo exémxo orxénut néeaa? B pu sacd.

Note that official timetables (e.g. train timetables) often use the twenty- four hour clock, e.g. nocesmiumiars. rpématt — 18.30. (You will also hear p Korbpom wacf... as a way of asking ar whar time...2) * See Appendix 1 forthe declension of cardinal and ordinal mumbers. 5 Yépes Across “Yepes literally means across and it is always followed by the accusative case, When used with time expressions it means after time has elapsed, ¢.g.: Téean » CanxrTerep6jpr The St Petershuog sain leaves ‘ordmurr uépes cpoK MaRH/T. in forty minutes. ‘Yépes is also useful when giving information about the number of stops to be travelled: Kora sare suixonitts?

After three stops. 6 ‘To go’ ‘The verbs meaning to-go have two forms of the present tense in Russian, The verb which means to go on foot, to walk makes its present tense from either xonirre ot writ, while ésmre or éxare must be used if you want to say to go by transport, 10 travel Consider the following: (Ona poorga x6qur 8 répon Celiac ond ugir 8 répoq ‘She always walks into town ‘She is walking into town now By transport ‘One occasion, one direction Grate (6 ény, TH égewe, ont ‘Habitual, repeated gure (a Bary, To Bop, ont 2p) en) Bi obxiN0 Samy Ha paboTy asré6ycom usually go to work by bus Ceréana Anka éaeT ® Cankr-llerepoypr ‘Anna is going to St Petersburg today Note that the rules of habit or one occasion/one direction apply to the use of the infinitives too, e.g. A mpemourrivo éammms néesn0M.

Note that while people travel (Gsaurs/éxars) on vehicles, the ‘movement of certain vehicles is described by xomitns/writ ~ thus trains and trams, for example, walk: Tloesnd xénar Sticrpo un udero.

The dative plural of nouns is as follows: irrespective of gender, the endings are -ant (for nouns ending in a consonant, -a, of -0) and -aw. for all others (Which, as for other cases, will need final -p, «ii, -e removed first): typtics rist) Typticram upénurca - The tourists like stor myaéit. this museuon. yukrens (teacher) Yuurresuine x6uerea The teachers feel ommixdrs. Note that nouns that have an irregular nominative plural form their ative plural from the irregular nominative ph ‘The dative singular and plural of adjectives are also very straight forward: In the singular masculine and neuter adjectives add -omy, unless the rule about the unstressed 0 applies, in which case add -emy. Feminine singular adjectives add -oli, unless the rule about the unstressed 0 applies, in which case add -eif: x muTepécHomy Myséio towards the interesting museum no erépoti Youre along the old street x xopémemy 3x4um0 towards the nice building In the plural, irrespective of gender, add -sint, unless the stem ends in TK, X, 2K, 4 ML ML, in Which case add -ae Héaute crynéursr Héseme The new students crynéuram pastes like Russian, PYCcenit 361K. pyecxne typiicrst: Pycenum The Russian tc Tike Typlicram Hpapures the old town. crépsrit répon. ‘Note that the dative case is used when asking and giving information about one’s age: CxdamKo emey* mer?

The weather's hot today. Cordis xApKo. It’s hot today. those which just state a noun — fog, a blizzard: nécmypHo Ceréqna TyMan. It’s foggy today. 3aurpa Gye Merénp. There will be a blizzard tomorrow. 2 The future tense There are two Kinds of future tense in Russian; one is used to describe actions in the future which are incomplete, unspecific, repeated, or continuing, e.g.: When you are in Moscow Iwill rng you every day o Tomorrow I will write some letters, do some gardening and watch some television. ‘The second form of the future is used for actions which are specific, single, completed, ¢.g.: I will ring you tomorrow at four o'clock or T will write to Vanya tomorrow and watch the news at nine. The first kind of future tense is sometimes called the compound future, because it is made up of two elements: the future tense of the verb to be, which we met in Unit 9, and something called the imperfective infinitive. In Russian, verbs usually have two infinitives (ic. the to do part of the verb). One is called the impertective and the other the perfective. The present tense is made from the imperfective in eomaro, Tat cxjuraeu etc. compound (or imperfective) 9 6Yay cnyurars, future: eg: A 6¥ay omjmars paso Késsmsit Bévep. Iwill listen to the radio every evening. ‘The second kind of future tense is made in exactly the same way as the present tense, except that it is formed from the perfective infinitive: perfective perfective ege A a ocarjusate (to listen 10) a nlocmyauaro car MpOrHSS HordmK B MeCTS WacéB. isten to the weather forecast at six o'clock. It is important from now on always to learn both infinitives for each verb and they are usually written like this in dictionaries and vocabularies: cajmars/nocajmars (ie. imperfective second) wumber of verbs have a perfective infinitive which looks e the imperfective infinitive, except that it has some sort of mus, enfmlaT has the perfective nocafmars. Here are some more examples: perfective piiners/ypiiners to see aénats/enénar 10 do, make Ssnowirs/noaRonire to ring mucérs/HamicéT 10 write o6énats /nooSsnaT» 10 have lunch emorpérs/nocmorpérs 10 watch, look at ‘Sometimes the spelling of a verb is changed slightly by the addition of a prefix: urpare/esirpams (to play). Sometimes it is not the beginning but the ending of a verb which changes: BerpeNdrbcs/scrpérHTbea nonysar6/nomysire oGbacuiTs /oGBacHITE to meet one another 10 receive to explain Jn the examples above, the imperfective infinitive is first conjugation ike writs) and the perfective is second conjugation (like Fopopiire) ~ this is often the case where the imperfective and perfective infinitives differ in the way they end. NB Note especially the verb to buy, whose infinitives differ both at the beginning and at the end — noxynéins /icynin Lh rics sonoma ieg LH] rtciou io ane ave Sometimes a verb has only one infinitive, e.g.: Gurre (to be); and occasionally there is little or no resemblance between the imperfective and perfective: rosopirs/exasér» (to say, tell); sosmpamdrees/sepnfrees (10 return). ‘The verbs we met in Unit 9 which have two forms of the present tense have two imperfective infinitives, but only one perfective infinitive, $$$ Imperfectives Perfective xopirelngri noir éaquro/éxare nosxa Gératb/Gexdrs noserKaTs Note that aandiifre} (Jer's) is always followed by the perfective future: Tlanaiire nogqem 34 ropon.

Tomorrow I will have 10 work, Note too that, just as uet + genitive is used to express do not have any, we 6Yaer is used to express will not have any: 'Y meni me 6jaer spémenn. T won't have any time, Usually itis quite clear when you need fo use the future tense — will is the clearest indicator and there are often other clues as well (tomorrow, next week, etc.). However, English sometimes implies the future tense, but doesn’t use it, e-g. When you are in Moscow, I will ring you every day. In Russian the future tense must be used whenever it is implied: Kora Tot 6jneum » Mocksé, When you are (i 4 O¥ay spouitre tebe in Moscow, doko JOR, ring you 3 3BoHitTb/nOsBOHATb To telephone This verb means to ring, to telephone.

Grammar 1 Bnarogapite/no6narogapite to thank Note that this verb is followed by sa + accusative: Gtaronapi Tet 3a aKcKypemo, Note also Cuaci6o 3a + accusative (Cnaci6o 3a noipox, thank you for the present) and nnarimme/sannarirre 3a + accusative (to pay for). 2 Past tense In English we have various forms of the past tense: Twas reading, used to read, Thave read, I read, I had read In Russian there are only two forms of the past tense; one is made from the imperfective infinitive (or imperfective aspect) and the other from. the perfective infinitive (or perfective aspect). ‘The imperfective past tense is used for actions which are repeated, continuing or incomplete: z gent edlyeen0d 26) 4s Tused to read the newspaper every day. Iwas reading the newspaper when the telephone it went on for two hours — so we need to use Viktor was reading anovel Subject of verb Add Example Masculine singular m—Binrop surén powan (verb: 4uTatey npowmrare) Feminine singuar na Onm wanwcéna nc Ola has writen tho (verb: nucate! letter snarncéro) Neuter singular (verb: cocrir {no pert) Porat no Cénnye cserino ‘The sun was shining nm Niescayjuiani stingy We were listening to (orb: enyware’ music nocnjwars) In other words, past tonse endings are rather like adjective endings — they have to agree with the number (singular or plural?) and gender (masculine, feminine, neuter?) of the subject. Note that when you are forming the past tense to agree with wet the ending will always be ~a, whether ferring to a group of people or whether it is being used as the polite form to one person only. Most irregular verbs form their past tenses in this way too, ¢.g.: acme (au, axHT, cic.) (xoréa, xoréaa, etc.) The only exceptions among the verbs we have met so far are: eorth (to lead, take on foot) Ben, Bead, Bend, Remi the first imperfective can imply a habit or a retum joumey; the past tense of the second imperfective indicates an action which was in progress; the past tense of the perfective implies one single action in the past; this form often also means to set off Perfective not ow nowen he has ‘gone, has set off Impertective Impertective xopiire wari ‘on xogiin he used to go (hab) on won he was going xopin he has been (ection in progress) {return journey) Note thatthe past tense of sims (to be) is required if you want to give ‘éamo, nfito, nes, nopé, a past meaning: Buepa mae wixo G10 3 Mbt yeaquaca We'll see each other Note that the addition of reflexive endings to the verb niviets/ypiineTs (‘o see) produces the verb meaning to see one another: yoimmacn séerpa (lit. we will see one another tc frequently heard when people are saying goodbye. In Unit that Tae met serpérmmes? means Where shall we another]? — here the verb serpesirb/serpérure (to meet) has been made reflexive in the same way. 4 Prepositional case We have already met some of the uses of the prepositional case and Jeamt how to form the prepositional singular of nouns; in » Bomsus6ot neuter singular adjectives add -ow, unless the rule about the unstressed© applios, in which case add -em.
