Katrink Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hello! I think that this post will be very helpful for beginners. Agree, that studying any foreign language, you should know how to say calendar terms, like days of the week, months, and year. These words and expressions are used very often. When we want to say about an event, that is going to happen or has already happened. It will not be too difficult, everything you need is to memorize given words and understand cases declension (from grammar). Review and learn by heart Russian days of the week:Понедельник - Ponedel´nik -MondayВторник - Vtornik – Tuesday Среда – Sreda – Wednesday Четверг – Četverg – ThursdayПятница – Pâtnica - FridayСуббота – Subbota - SaturdayВоскресенье - Voskresen´e – SundayThat is all!День - Den´ - DayНеделя - Nedelâ – WeekNow, I will give you Russian words for saying monthsДвенадцать месяцев - Dvenadcat´ mesâcev - 12 monthsЯнварь - Ânvar´ - JanuaryФевраль - Fevral´ - FebruaryМарт – Mart - MarchАпрель - Aprel´- AprilМай – Maj - MayИюнь - Iûn´ - JuneИюль - Iûl´ - JulyАвгуст – Avgust – AugustСентябрь - Sentâbr´ - SeptemberОктябрь - Oktâbr´- OctoberНоябрь - Noâbr´ - NovemberДекабрь - Dekabr´ - DecemberAlso, you have to learn how to say years. Now is две тысячи четырнадцатый год (dve tysâči četyrnadcatyj god). In English it will be 2014 year.Год – God - year Don’t forget about declensions. Here is a sample for the word year.Nominative го́д (singular) го́ды or года́ (plural)Genitive го́да (singular) годо́в (plural)Dative го́ду (singular) года́м (plural)Accusative го́д (singular) го́ды or года́ (plural)Instrumental го́дом (singular) года́ми (plural)Prepositional го́де or в году́ (singular) года́х(plural)When describing any event, you may use following expressions and useful words:С Новым Годом !– S Novym Godom – Happy New Year !Високосный год – Visokosnyj god – a leap yearУчебный год – Učebnyj god – academic yearКруглый год – Kruglyj god – the whole round yearВ годах - V godah – middle-agedТекущий год – Tekuŝij god – current year Три года тому назад – Tri goda tomu nazad – three years agoУдачный год – Udačnyj god – good yearНа прошлой неделе – Na prošloj nedele – last weekВ прошлом месяце – V prošlom mesâce – last monthЗавтра - Zavtra - tomorrowСегодня – Segodnâ – todayПозавчера – Pozavčera – the day before yesterdayСейчас – Sejčas – nowПослезавтра – Poslezavtra – the day after tomorrowВчера - Včera - YesterdayGood Bye!

Trellum Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Awesome post! I love the fat you don't only introduce to us the words in Russian, but also include an approximate pronunciation. That's amazing, kinda sad to see you are no longer active on here I hope you come back here and see some people on here really appreciate your effort! To be honest the only thing that kinda confused me and even scared me was the ''declensions'' part. It was really confusing, but I guess I will really be able to tell once I start studying Russian.
