Hello hello it's me again, the long feedback writer guy haha. This time I have a question and that's because of Неделя at 00:56 So I've noticed that in all other Slavic languages, НЕДЕЛЯ(or variations) means Sunday. And it actually makes sense because it comes from 2 words - 'НЕ' (the negative form of something or 'Not') and 'ДЕЛАТЬ' ('to work' or 'to do'). So it basically means the day when we do not do anything or simply put : *THE DAY OF REST* i.e. Sunday. But for Russians to call the WHOLE WEEK as НЕДЕЛЯ (Not Doing Work) is kinda funny and weird. Is it because Russians never work on any day? (This is a joke hahaha). Do you know how and why 'Неделя' is used to describe a full week and not just Sunday like the rest of your Slavic brothers?? 'SUNDAY' in Slavic Languages : Serbian : Недеља Belarusian : Нядзеля Polish : Niedziela Macedonian : Недела Bosnian : Nedjelja Ukrainian : Неділя Croatian : Nedjelja Slovak : Nedeľu Slovenian : Nedelja Czech : Neděle Bulgarian : Неделя and.......... Russian : Воскресенье 💀💀
Thanks a lot for the beautiful explanation. The exceptions are making almost the 50% of the general rules but I will still remain committed in learning it. Thanks!
