Russian Grammar Lessons: DATIVE CASE - "надо/можно/нельзя" + BONUS! 

Большое спасибо, мне очень приятно!!

A lot of people get interested in Russian writers like Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Bulgakov. I would strongly recommend start by listening to these videos - you want to start hearing and listening to the sound of the language right away. Maybe learn the alphabet first but don't start with the grammar - just listen. I love hearing native speakers. There's something about the rythmn and cadence - native speakers show you how natural it actually can sound - the combinations of the consonants and the alphabet can seem quite unfamiliar to English speakers. Also the fact that the roots of the words are mostly slavic. Russian doesn't have the heavy borrowings from Latin, French and Greek in the way English and many western european languages. There's some Greek but the sheer volume of prefixes, suffixes and roots of all the Russian nouns and verbs can be daunting. Add to that the perfective and imperfective pairs of the verbs makes it a lot of work but when you start with short conversational phrases it's not as overwhelming. Just short phrases with a lot of repetition so your mind can begin to think in Russian. Once you are thinking in Russian, then you build up and keep adding to the vocabulary and grammar. So many words in Russian kind of sound like what they mean - глупый, зашуршац.

Венера Алмаева thank you so much 😘❤️

Спасибо за поддержку!!! :)

serge_a большое спасибо!

Пожалуйста! Я рада, что вам понравилось!

@@AnnaCherRussianfromtheHeart Мне очень понравилось! Мне очень нравится ваша система обучения. Один из лучших на You Tube.

@@AnnaCherRussianfromtheHeart Я начал изучать русский язык 17 лет назад, почти все забыли, теперь я хочу снова начать интенсивно, также благодаря вашей помощи! На работе у меня стало больше контактов с русскими, и я заметил, что мой русский сильно ухудшился (хорошее произношение, но плохая грамматика, для коммерческих текстов не очень хорошо (with the "help" of google translate, from italian german and french, I don't know if everything is correct, but it seems quite good ;-)

iena71 я уверена, что если вы начнёте заниматься регулярно, язык вернётся очень быстро. Учить что-то второй раз всегда легче, чем первый :) главное-регулярность!

Спасибо, что смотрите!

Nick Hinchliff yes, please, share the examples.

Out of 200 examples using надо, I found about 8 problem sentences, some of which had been adopted from RussianPod101 back in 2012. Maybe they were caught and fixed in the past eight years. Others were missing an infinitive but it was strongly implied. One was idiomatic and highly colloquial. One was actually a preposition над with an о tacked on the end, to prevent two vowels from juxtaposing. A few verbose sentences from Cooljugator no longer impressed me as useful and so I removed them from my personal database.

Anna, you could disregard everything I've posted. I had not fully listened to the entire video before posting. Later, you yourself pointed out the same misuse of надо that I spotted.

@@AnnaCherRussianfromtheHeartThese exceptions came from other websites many years ago. I do not remember being warned they are colloquial, not correct grammar. Мне надо в банк. I need a bank. Мне надо машину. I need a car. Тебе надо в банк? Do you need a bank. Мне надо в Москву. I need to go to Moscow. Мне надо документы. I need documents. Мне надо компьютер. I need a computer. Мне надо приглашение. I need an invitation. Не надо об этом. There’s no need [to talk about] this. Мне надо билет. I need a ticket. Мне надо домой. I need (to go) home. Ну надо же! It’s amazing!

Dative is used for several reasons, "мне нравится" is certainly among them

Teddy C yes, they are synonyms. But if you are in a store, I would ask ‘Можно мне плитку шоколада’ 🙂

@@AnnaCherRussianfromtheHeart спасибо огромное!!!!

Спасибо :)

Хаха :) Не за что! Надеюсь, этот урок вам поможет!

Carlos Gomez да, так тоже можно спросить! ‘Можно я задам вам вопрос’ или ‘Могу я задать вам вопрос?’. And you probably meant ‘я имею ввиду’=I mean.

@@AnnaCherRussianfromtheHeart Double thanks to you Anna. Yes, that's what I meant to say)).
