What a brilliant information about this very hard and never ending topic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you 💓so much for your help 🙋🏻‍♀️

Моя дорогая Антония, большое спасибо за этот замечательный урок. то, что вы представили, было настолько основательным, что просто невозможно запутаться в русской системе глаголов, которая, в общем, довольно проста - в отличие от ее порочной системы предложных падежей! Спасибо за духовный совет и поддержку! Всего хорошего!

Thank you so much! This was super helpful, you are a great teacher!

I am very glad I found you. Perfective n Imperfective seem much easier now. You r a good teacher.

Such a Calm, easy, smooth and comforting video, Well Explained :)

Добрый день Antonia Romaker. Мой пример следующий; Вчера я прочитал газету. Урааа!

Hey Antonia Romarker !!! I really appreciate your help, now i am taking my Russian language class in order to study my masters degree in Russian language. At first Russian language was very difficult for me, but now with the help of your videos i managed to understand the language. i still have some problems with where to STRESS when you read a word, but now i want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND YOU DESERVE A BIG HUG !!!

отлично! A splendid introduction to aspects, thanks so much.

Very good. Well taught. Thank you.

Great job and thanks so much

Thanks very much 🌷💝 I really got my teacher angry because I didn't understand anything ,but now I've understood it very well ,thanks a lot for your help 😇🌷

very well expleined my dear.thank you so much

It was really nice video and thanks for sharing it.

Thank you for your great explanations :-)

Thanks , I always understand ❤️💕

Спасибо,Антония.

Thank you soo much for this brilliant explanation 👌

Thank you so much, you're helping my midterm tests.

Excellent. Thanks a lot. Very helpful.

Thanks Antonia! Well! As for me, it was not difficult to understand that читать is an imperfect and прочитать is a perferct verb. But when прочитывать is an imperfect verb, I started winding gears. But with drills I will manage.

I love the way you teach ❤️❤️

Очень хорошо, спасибо

thanks a lot ur video has been useful

u explained this so well 💓💓 thank you :)

Thanks for the class, you help me a lot

Спасибо большое!! Это Очень ясно

Thank you for this motivation

Ms.Antonia, I got to tell you how helpful are your videos. As a Russian formal language student, I had checked quite lots of videos which always try to explain this topic, regarding aspects of verbs and in order to evaluate them. But, you have shown an absolutely easy and user-friendly manner to explain it. At the moment of watching this video, I'm already familiar with this, so I'm pos-congratulating you and wishing you to keep going. An advice for this valuable channel is just to sort the content in a playlist :)

Thank you very much!

Thank you very very very very much Antonia...really love your videos :)

super. much love from Germany.

Thank You very much ; ) From France - Paris

Thanks my Teacher

Thank you so much this is incredible. .. my day was bad because of this lesson i didn't understand it .. but after watching your video... i understand it whole ... just thank you .. great job you are молодец! )))))

Спасибо 😊 💓

Thank you as always. I need to memorize aspect pairs. I have the 500 russian verb book that goes through alot of this, but you lesson really reinforced and guided my studies. Thank you. I need to find the lesson that covered что нибуд.

great video, thank you

I am confused about those. Thank you so much for your support.

As a child, I was taught only 3 Tenses in the English language. They were the same as Russian Tenses. I had no idea that someone complicated it even more.

Excellent English too!

Thank for explaining me 🙏

Bulgarian here. Modern day Bulgarian and Russian are both decedents of the same church-slavonic language. We have kept or altered different aspects of the language. We have both shifted certain vowels that are no longer in use like Ѣ, Ѫ, etc. And we both have aspects of our verbs. The seeming exceptionality of "покупать" can be easily explained with the changes that occurred in the language through the ages. First, there is an imperfective-perfective pair: "покупать" and "покупить", but the latter verb is already archaic. Second, there should have been imperfective-perfective pair: "купать" and "купить", but due to vowel shift, the archaic word for bathe, "кѫпати", collapsed in Russian into "купать", thus destroying the above pair as "купать" nowadays is used only in the meaning of "to bathe". This problem does not exist in Bulgarian, because our vowel shift of "ѫ" went into a sound similar to the vowel in "her". As the closest Russian vowel to the vowel in "her" is "ы", there could have been a word "кыпать" instead, hadn't the Russian vowel shift followed a different route. Here is an old text with the word "покупить". "Для жъ сохраненія солдатъ отъ дальнѣйшаго по жесточайшимъ морозамъ изнуренія весьма нужно покупить на нихъ шубы, онучи и лапти, что я и приказалъ." Я. К. Грот, «Материалы для истории Пугачевскаго бунта», 1862 г.

Hi! I love your videos and explanations! Thank you for the tip of advice at the end to stay strong

finally I got it, I was wondering but it is clear now

very useful thank you!

First I come here for the rational and clear minded explanation that makes sense, then I go to R for Russian for the weird explanation that makes no sense, but helps me remember this one. I would love to see your two channels work together.. I think you guys could do great things.

You are the best teacher, very good teacher. I really appreciate your way to teach.

Great video :)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TEACHER! YOUR METHODOLOGY REALLY WORKS!!! HELLO FROM MEXICO! :) :) :)

excellent

That was a wonderful explanation, thank you. Molodietz. Don't get me started on the French language; verbs, tenses... Beautiful language as is Russian.

you are perfect

thanx for this video, it is very good and useful for me☺️😍

thanks

Ура, я не сделал ошибок ! Спасибо большое за бесплатную знанию. Это тема трудно понять но вы объясните доступно и ясно. Как я понимаю, что в русском языке есть две формы. Форму нсв и форму св. Нсв часто длинные чем св и если в глаголе есть "ыва" это нсв. Просто нужно выучить их наизусть. Я желаю всем успехов в изучении русского языка и не унывать но быть мудрым.

thanks for lesson )

отлично спасиба

God bless you

In English “had done something” indicates the past in the past.eg when I had eaten my dinner I went out. This means I ate my dinner first then I went out. Another example, she arrived after I had left. This means I left then she arrived.

Very good video! I'm including this in my Russian 102 class.

ochen horosho!

i can not understand this when they explain in my native language, but i can understand cleary in this video ! Большое спасиьо !!

super teacher, you're.......

I guess I was too curious about the aspects... now I feel kinda sorry for my brain xD but this won't stop me to learn more :) great lesson :D btw I'm a new subscriber :)

You just saved my life

Антония. 11:15 Почему мы используем слово "по" перед цифрой "три" в этом предложении пожалуйста? 14:14 Я также размышлял почему мы используем слово "да" перед "забываешь" в упражнении № 4.

Thank you for this 🙂

Hello could you please tell me why sometimes some verbs are preceded by imperfective but also by perfective?. I've noticed that in many websites Russians use the verb хотеть, they use it in perfective and in imperfective, so this confuses me a little bit because i'm not sure which aspect i should use. Would it be correct to say я хочу читать эту книгу? Or should i say я хочу прочитать эту книгу?

You perfectly

Gr@8 I have learnt

Good news for English learners is all of the complicated tenses are in the past, and you don't need to use them in order to speak good English. You don't need to learn to say "Had I known it, I would never have done it"

Should we necessarily specify a time range when we use perfective future in Russian as we do in English - I will have complete my task within a week/ for 3 days/by tomorrow ?

It's Nov 2022, and I am in Russia trying to learn this amazingly challenging language. Пожелай меня удачи.

Have you uploaded video on если бы, I need it , because my exams are coming ,pls reply as soon as possible

How do you know what prefix to use? Should we just always use "по" ? Please help me

You're video has helped me a lot, thank you so much.. I have a little problem with verbs of motion using prefixes... can you help me out please?

Thank you Antonia for your videos . I' m so eager to improve . "Я учила не выучила" когда я была в университете between 1993-95 . May I tell you that "Yesterday I had read " doesn't seem appropriate to me if it isn't followed by for example ... : the phone rang . Why not say : I was reading ... When I was at the university, the teachers told us there are only two tenses in English : Past and present and two aspects and modals . Thank you for your work . Пока Антоня !

woo that was great...good English and I think I can improve with this

I think this was really helpful to me. I find it easy to remember the perfective verb along with its imperfective because, though I can't describe it, they sound logical together. I have a question, though. Some of my native speakers use a perfective verb in its infinitive form in complex verb phrases. For instances, they could say "Мне нужно прочитать книгу." The concept of "needing" is happening in the present, but phrase implies completion in the future. Is this something that Russian speakers do? Use the perfecrive in its infinitive in present tense complex verb phrases? I see this a lot with the verb сделать and, honestly, I think I see my friends using this perfective form more than its imperfective form.

A difficult lesson to learn. Thanks.

The present tense is NOT used for the past in English, in fact that is a standard learner mistake ("I am living here for 3 years"). The point about the perfect continuous in English is that it runs from the past into the present but it does not denote the present tense alone. "I have been living here for three years"

Thx for the video, you explain it really clear. I'm not sure I have understood something tho. Here 5:45, I didn't understand what the third verb mean, why is it there when it's supposed to be just 2 aspects or forms of the verb, and what is the difference between that one and the first one, thank you.

This is a great video. Couldn't we translate the perfective of "Ya Prochitala Kinigu"- for a completed action from start to finish as English's *Present Perfect*- I have read the book- rather than English's past perfect- I had read the book?
