ABOUT

Modern Russian

In February 1960 the University of Michigan sponsored a conference of scholars to "develop criteria for a two-year college sequence of spccialized materials for learning the Russian language." In its proposal to the U.S. Office of Education for funds to support the conference, the University of Michigan stated its view that "The urgency of our national need to improve and increase the study of the Russian language in our schools and colleges and the comparative dearth and inadequacy of existing materials for this purpose dictate the collaboration of the U.S. Office of Education with the Russian language specialists ... in the production of a complete two-year colJege level course in Russian." The proposal advised that "pcrtinent decisions regarding personnel, institutional sponsorship, and methodology for the production of such a course should be made only on a broadly established basis of consensus among a widely representative group of scholars and specialists in this field." The twenty-seven scbolars and specialists listed on the page opposite collaborated at tbe conference to achieve tbat consensus, and designated nine persons, similarly listed, as an Advisory Committee to the project. Recommendations arising from the February 1960 conference and from the Advisory Committee resulted in the naming and empowering of the Working Committee-: Dr. Clayton L. Dawson, Professor and Chairman of the Slavic Department at Syracuse University (project coordinator); Dr. Charles E. Bidwell, Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, University of Pittsburgh; and Dr. Assya Humesky, Associate Professor of Russian Language and Literature, University of Michigan. Syracuse University undertook to house and administer the entire project, and assumed responsibility for the preparation of the new materials. Both the University of Michigan conference and the University of Syracuse project to produce the two-year course were supported by the U.S. Office of Education, under authority of TiUe VI of the National Defense Education Act. The University of Michigan, the University of Pittsburgh, and Syracuse University coopcrated by granting leaves of absence to Drs. Humesky, Bidwell, and Dawson respectively. Along with these universities, The American University, the Foreign Service Institute, Georgetown University, Indiana University, 51. John's University, the State University College at New Paltz, New York, and the University of Washington participated in the field testing of materials prior to publication, providing helpful suggestions and encouragement. Generous help was provided in typing, advising, and recording by a large group of native Russians teaching in the Slavic Department of Syracuse University. Professors Robert L. Baker of Indiana University and Tatiana Cizevska of the University of Illinois contributed timely information on culture and current usage out of their recent experience in the Soviet Union. Finally, special critical evaluations and recommendations were provided by Professors Baker, Richard Burgi of Princeton University, Kurt Klein of the University of Illinois, and Laurence Thompson of the University of Washington.
Modem Russian, together with the recordings and the teacher's manual prepared to accompany it, unique in both content and techniques in the Russian field, is the fruition of this cooperative group effort.

Introduction: Using Modern Russian

The matcriaJs of Modern Russian, like those of its prototype, the Modem Language Association's Modern Spanish, provide a new kind of language course based on audio-lingual principles and aimed at speaking proficiency within the framework of tbe traditional language program. Modern Russian consists of two volumes of eighteen lessons each, designed for a two-year course meeting from three to five hours a week. Stressing the fundamental structural features of the contemporary spoken language, the thirtysix lessons present a total vocabulary of some 2700 items. Magnetic tape recordings, available to accompany the written materials, are an integral part of the two-year program. In addition, longplaying disk recordings of basic portions of tbe lessons are obtainable for home study. Audio-lingual principles assume that fluency in a foreign language is acquired less by intellectual analysis than by intensive practice. Awareness of structure is acquired not by memorizing rules and paradigms but by imitation and repetition of basic language patterns and by performance of drills carefully constructed to capitalize on the leamer's natural inclination to analogize from material already learned. Language learning thus properly begins with listening and repeating and only later proceeds to reading and writing. These first two stages are of primary importance if the student is to gain even a minimwn control of spoken Russian; for this reason we recommend strongly that most material be presented and practiced with books closed, both in class and in the laboratory. A lesson consists of the following parts designed to be used as suggested: Preparation for Conversation. Anticipating the Conversation to follow, this part presents the basic elements of the Conversation in the order of their appearance, together with parallel English equivalents and, where needed, wilh phonetic transcription. This material provides a basis for understanding and assimilating the Conversation. Supplementary related words and phrases are also given here. Conversations. Simulating situations of contemporary Soviet life, these introduce the basic lexical and structural items of the lesson in dialogue form and in colloquial Russian. The first
v

four lessons contain a single Conversation each; the remaining lessons each contain a pair of Conversations. Notes explain points of cultural difference and of usage and style. For the first five lessons a parallel English equivalent of each Conversation is provided. A phonetic transcription of the Russian is also given as an aid to proper pronunciation in learning the materials; this is presented consistently in the first ten lessons, but only to clarify special problems thereafter. The Conversations, basic to each lesson, are best assimilated to the point of complete memorization. These are recorded on the tapes-and on the records as well-for individual repeated listening and imitation. They are presented in four stages: (I) the entire dialogue at natural speed without pauses; (2) the individual sentences, broken down from the end, with pauses for student repetition; (3) complete utterdnces, again with pauses for student repetition; and (4) the entire dialogue once again at natural speed without pauses. Bask Sentence Patterns. These are sets of patterned sentences, deriving from the Conversations and illustrating the major structural points of the lesson with the use of new and review vocabulary. They are to be mastered through repeated practice. The Basic Sentence Patterns are paralleled by English equivalents. Pronunciation Practice. To instill habits of correct pronunciation, every lesson provides pronunciation drills, frequently contrastive ones. Additional pronunciation drills, not appearing in the text, are given in the Teacher's Manual and on the tapes. Lessons 6 through II each present an Intonatioo Practice treating the fundamental patterns of simple sentences. Structure and Drills. These form the grammatical heart of the course, generally treating four or five major structural points per lesson. Each structural point is developed in five to twelve different drills, with an average of ten responses. The student imitates the models given (generally there are two, the first with an English equivalent), by responding orally to sentences, questions, and/or cues in Russian provided by the teacher. The drills are widely varied: repetition, substitution, questionanswer, subject reversal, transformation, structure replacement, integration, expansion, and pro gressive substitution. All drills are fully recorded on the tapes with appropriate pauses for student responses, followed by the confirming responses. To make the procedure clear, the desired responses for the first two lessons are printed in fuJI. A discussion of a structural point generally follows the drills in which it has been developed. Reading and Writing. Essentially a recapitulation of the lexical and structural items in lhe lesson and a review of past items, this part is a reworking of the Conversation materials and provides practice in reading. The portions presented in handwritten form invite practice in dictation or copying (easily self-corrected), as well as in reading a cursive script. Translation of the readings is not recommended; comprehension can best be checked by questions in Russian as provided in the Teacher's Manual. Experience suggests that presentation of dialogues is most effective when delivered at a normal conversational speed in natural word groupings (not as words in isolation), with a natural intonation. Class choral repetition is helpful in presenting new Conversations in order to bring the class into active participation, and choral recitation of the parts of the dialogue by designated groups of the class provides a useful check on memorizing the Conversations. Memorizing the Conversations, though not indispensable, does result in higher achievement in the structural drills. Intensive drill on the Preparation for Conversation and class practice on the Conversation, followed by the use of the tape in the language laboratory and/or the records at home, can make memorizing the Conversation a relatively simple task.
vi

Practice in writing-whether mere copying or writing out drill responses specifically assigned for that purpose-should not be neglected, despite the strong oral emphasis of Modern Russian. The writing of selected drills tends to reinforce mastery of the structure and to check on progress being made. Normally a lesson will take five meetings to cover, though clearly the longer the time spent on a lesson, the more complete the mastery of it is likely to be. The first four lessons are shorter and may therefore be covered in four sessions each. Where classes meet only three hours a week, drills which cannot be covered in class may be assigned for performance in a language laboratory. A course of three class hours a week has been successfully given by Syracuse University with these materials on just such a basis.

LESSON

The Russian sound system


Russian sounds may be divided into two basic groups: vowels and consonants.
A. The vowels

Russian has five basic vowel sounds, all of tbem shorter than the very approximate English vowels given here for the sake of a rough comparison. l [al [0] star po,1

[el
[i I

met
machine lunar, soon

[tam, vas] [6n, n6s] [eIU, jel] [i, ivan]


[nu, kum]

luI

As aids 10 pronunciation, we also give two additional symbols to represent positional variants of [al and Ii].
sofa, about ship, weary
[papo, 6k,Ja I [bik, sin]

Sound Drill I: Practice the Russian examples illustrating the vowel sounds, imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can. 2

B. The consonants

Russian consonants fall into two main groups, which we call "hard" and "soft." Hard consonants are pronounced with the main body of the tongue flattened, creating a hoJlow, open, mouth cavity. Soft consonants, conversely, are pronounced with the tongue raised in an are, creating a narrowed mouth cavity and a restricted passage of air. The consonants may be divided into four subgroups: those which occur in both soft and hard varieties regardless of what sound follows, those whose hardness or softness depends on the sound that follows, those which are only hard, and those which are only soft.
, In illustrating the sounds we use a transcription based on Latin characters. some slightly modified in form. Sound Drills 1-5 are recorded on tape and printed in the Teacher's Manual.

Sound Drill 2: Practice the Russian examples illustrating these hard and soft consonant pairs, imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can. Notc that Russian consonants do not have the slight puff of breath characteristic of such English consonants as p, t, and k in certain positions. 2. Consonants whose hardness or softness ordinarily depends on the sound that follows. The consonants [k], [gJ, and [x] are ordinarily pronounced hard, but are replaced by their soft alternates [~], [3J, and [;OS] respectively when followed by the vowels eel and [i]:

Note that the Russian [c] is a single sound unit. and that both ~J and (1J are articulated farther back in tbe throat than the comparable English sounds. 4. Consonants which occur only in a soft variety, regardless of the sound that follows:

The Russian (CyriUic) alphabet and the writing system


Russian does not use the Latin alphabet employed by English and such Western European languages as French. Gennan. Spanish, and Italian. Rather, Russian uses another alphabet, called the Cyrillic. It is basically modeled after the Greek alphabet, but is supplemented by additional symbols for certain sounds occurring in the Slavic languages but not in Greek. Other Slavic peoples using the Cyrillic alphabet include the Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Bulgarians. Macedonians, and Serbs; while the Czechs, Poles, Slovaks, Slovenes, and Croats use tbe Latin a1pbabet. The Russian (Cyrillic) alphabet is given below in its conventional order, together with typical pronunciations of the letters and illustrative examples. Note tbat most letter.> are pronounced in more than one way, depending upon wbere tbey occur or the place of stress in the word.'

Remarks on stress
A.
s~

in the word

A stressed vowel is one pronounced wiLb greater intensity or loudness than an unstressed vowel. Words of more than one syllable can have only one syllable which is stressed in Russian. This contrasts sharply with English, when::: many words have more than one stress, for example:
ENGLISH propaganda

RUSSIAN npouaraKJ],a

[p~pag{md~]

When words are combined in a sentence in Russian, certain short words may receive no stress. For example, prepositions such as y and Ha, and the negative partjcle He arc nonnally pronounced as though they were part of the following word: yuee [UQij6] H3 nO'iTy [nap6tul He BH.a.CJl [Q;Y;Qil]
B. The major segment

A Russian sentence may consist of a single word or of one or more groups of words. Each group contains one word which has an even stronger stress than any of the other stressed words in the group. We call the groups major segments and the strongest stress in each group the major stress. We call the remaining word stresses in the major segment secondary stresses. The boundary between major segments represents a point where a short slowing up or pause may be made in speaking. In our transcription, the major sentence stress will be indicated by a double accent mark ("), and the secondary or word stress will have a single acute accent mark ('). On the material printed in Cyrillic, only the single accent mark will be used for both major sentence stress and word stress.

LESSON I

Division of a sentence into major segments will often depend on the individual speaking style and tempo. A given sentence in rapid speech will be spoken with fewer major segments than the same utterance in slow deliberate speech. But the segmentation is not arbilrary--there are some places where a major segment boundary may be made and others where it will be rare or nonexistent. For example, a major segment boundary does not occur between a preposition and the following word, and it rarely occurs between an adjective and the noun it qualifies. In neutral, unemphatic style, the major stress usually falls on the last word of each major segment. In statements, a shift of the major stress (0 another word in the segment shifts the emphasis to that word: NEUTRAL

To sum up, we indicate the degrees of stress (loudness) as follows: I. Major stress (one per major segment}---double accent mark on transcription, single accent mark on CyriIlic. 2. Secondary or word stress (no more than one per word}-single acute accent mark. 3. No stress--no accent mark. EXAMPLE

Ii H,ll.y Ha notTy.

[ja idu napi)Ctu]

Above all, the student should bear in mind that the best guide to accurate pronunciation is the way a native speaker actually pronounces the words, not the written representation of stress.

Discrepancies between the sound system and the writing system


A. Use of the same consonant letter to write both hanl and soft consonant varieties
As we know, most Russian consonant sounds come in hard and soft varieties. It is a peculiarity

of the writing system and the alphabet, however, that the same letter often represents both a hard and soft consonant in writing. For example, both hard [n] and soft fQ] are written H in Cyrillic; only the following letter can tell us whether it is hard or soft. Compare HOC [nos] with Hee [Qos]. B. Double set of vowel letters in the writing system To preserve the distinction between hard and soft consonants in the writing system, the Russian alphabet employs a double set of vowel letters which may be termed "hard-" and "soft-series" vowel letters. [n themselves the vowels are neither hard nor soft; rather, they indicate the hardness or softness of the preceding consonant. Thus "hard-series" vowel letter a typically follows a hard consonant, and "soft-series" vowel letter H typically follows a soft consonant.

The special symbol h indicates the softness of a preceding consonant when no vowel letter follows. I Remember that this sign is not a vowel, Le., it has no independent sound value. It is merely an alphabetic device to show that the preceding consonant is soft. It is written principally at tbe end of a word or between consonants.

C. Soft-series vowel letters at the beginning of a word or following another vowel letter Tbe soft-series vowelletlers ii, e, e, and 10, also serve another function. At the beginning of a word following another vowel leller, they arc written to represent the consonant sound (written elsewhere ii) plus a vowel. Thus H in these positions is equivalent to ii plus a; e is equivalent to ii plus 0; e is equivalent to ii plus 3, and 10 is equivalent to ii plus y.

'See item 0 below, fOf fuller treatment of this symbol.

LESSON I

I. THE SOFT' SIGN

Of the two symbols, the soft sign 10 is much more frequently encountered and serves two major purposes: a. To indicate consonant softness at the end of a word or before another consonant: onlo [gatl five, TOJlbKO [t6lb] only, 'INTin. [titiU to read. b. To indicate that a preceding consonant is soft and that the next vowel is preceded by the sound [jj: cer.tbli [~iqlja] family, nbU [IDot] he drinks. Note: Although the soft sign is sometimes written after the consonants and w for historic reasons, these consonants are nevertheless pronounced hard: Mymoli [mtdjaj husbands, H./leuu. [i46~j you're going.

2.

THE HARD SIGN

The hard sign 1> in modern Russian is only used after prefixes ending in a consonant followed by a softseries vowel. It indicates that a [j] sound precedes this vowel: cWn [sjel) he ate Up. on..i3.a: (atjest) departure.
PREPARATION FOR CONVERSATION

Except in certain fixed expressions, nouns are first given in their nominative case form. The nominative case is primarily used to indicate the subject of a sentence or clause. Russian nouns are of three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Masculine nouns usually terminate in a consonant letter, feminine ones in -a or ....., and neuters in -0 or -e. The gender of nouns will be indicated in the Preparation for Conversation only where it is not obvious from the nominative form, as for example: . . . (f) door, Abn. (m) day. For the time being verbs and adjectives will be given only in the form in which they occur in the conversation. cryll,eHT (stu4ent] Ii) CTy.neHTK<l [stu4entka] EureHidi liivgeQijJ HHHa [Qina) npHB';'- [Pri~l) " _....

) KJ1j6 means club in the sense of a group of working associates who meet for recreational or informal educational purposes. Clubs in the Soviet Union playa political-educational role in encouraging useful bobbies such as radio, photography, or airplane modeling; or in the study of technical subjects, malhematics, botany, zoology, and so forth. Recreational activities include amateur performances, dances, and games such as chess. .. II is not uncommon in the Soviet Union for university students to work in a factory during the day and attend classes in the evening. Unless they are excellent students. secondary school graduates generaJly must work for two years before entering the university. , Notice that at in Russian is H8 in H8 Juone at the plant, but B in B ICJly6e at the club. Certain nouns require the preposition 118 in this meaning, while other nouns require B. In the same way, when these prepositions are used in the meaning to, Ha must be used with JoOn (118. JaB6A 10 the plant) and B must be used with 1CJtj6 (8 1CJIj6 to the club).

Basic sentence patterns


The material in this section gives some of the possible variants of utterances found in the conversation. It is designed to provide the student with certain basic paltems before an analysis of the structure is given and before be is asked to manipulate the specific grammatical items. In this way it is hoped that he will not only be able to observe the over-all structural patterns of Russian, but also have some ready-made utterances for active use when be begins to converse. The material should be thoroughly drilled as repetition practice with books closed as the first step. After this, it may be used for reading practice.

DISCUSSION

As you have noticed, the endings of the verb H,a:n1 in the prescnt tense change for each person in the singular and plural. Thus the first person singular is Ii MM, second person singular ThI HJJ.Wn., third person singular OH (or ollli) HJJ.eT, and so forth. The present stem of the verb is H.z:t-, and the stress is on the endings throughout the conjugation. Note that the stem consonant .z:t is hard in the first person singular and third person plural, but is son in all the 01 her fonns.

This pattern of endings is typical of firs! conjugation verbs with the stress on the endings. There are only two conjugations in Russian; the second will be discussed later.

NOTES

I Adult Russians commonly address each other by the first Dame and a middle name derived from the father's first name. naBJIOBH'i and CbHJlltDDOBH'i are middle names, or patronymics, formed by adding the suffix -OBIPI to tbe stem of first names naDM Paul and CbHJlliJlII Philip. Daughters of naDM and CbHJUilln have patronymics nliBJIOBI13 and CbHJllillllOBH3 respectively. with the feminine suffix

LESSON

21

-08Ha. Ir the rather's first name ends in -H, the patronymic suffix is spelled -eBH"t (for the son) and -eBNa (for the daughter).

Correspondence between cyrillic vowel letters and the vowel sounds


The Russian vowel letters have already been discussed, particularly with reference to their functions as indicators of softness or hardness of the preceding consonant. We bave also discussed the particular function of the soft-series vowel letters, ii, e, M. e, to, as indicators of the presence of a preceding UJ sound under certain conditions. Ln the following paragraphs the Cyrillic vowel leiters will be presented, with examples of their occurrence in both stressed and unstressed syllables. Observe carefully the correspondence between the Cyrillic vowel leiters and their sound values, noting particularly that the position of a vowel in relation to the stressed syllable often determines its sound value. A. The Cyrillic letters Hand bI have appro",imately the same vowel sound in unstressed syllables as in stressed syllables, [i) and [iJ respectively. Except for w, *, and Q, all consonants before Mare pronounced soft; all consonants before bI are pronounced hard.

DISCUSSION

Like tmTH, the verb pa6ch8'rL belongs to the first conjugation. It differs from tmTH in thaI its present stem appears to end in a vowel (pa60Ta-), whereas that or tmnt ends in a consonant (Il)t,-). This is only a convention of the writing system, however, since the actual present stem of pa60ntTb ends in the consonant sound [j). As we know, when [j) occurs between vowels it is expressed through the "sort-series" vowel letters which follow. Thus we may contrast the written stem and endings in the chart below with those of the transcription, which show the real division of stem and ending.

It is only in the imperative forms that tbe UJ or the stem is written with a separate leiter i: paoonii (paooTaH-re)! work! PaOOTaTb is typical of the "j-stem" verbs in that it has a fixed stress which falls on the same syllable of the stem in aU forms.

The first three lettcrs are formed in practically the same way as in English. The leuen 6 and. begin the same way as o. In 6, a vertical line then goes upward and curves at the top to tbe right. In .,., after the first circle, a straight vertical stroke goes downward and then back up along the same line, returning to the initial point and continuing up and clockwise to form another circle. The letters y and M are formed like the English handwritten y and u; ii is the same as M, but with the addition of a short half circle above. (Write it immediately lest you forget.)

The leiter II is also written like N, except thai it ends in a small loop below the line. Handwritten wand w consist of three vertical lines of equal height with a final drop to the line (unlike the English written w). The UJ has a small tail loop like 1(.

The first letter is written like onc variant of the English handwritten r. The second is similar, but ends in a small circle, resembling a combination of "t and b. (Some Russians replace 1. with an apostrophe.) The third differs from the first in that it does not have the short horizontal line at the (OP, but is rounded. These three leiters begin with a small hook slightly above the line (remember this when joining these leiters 10 others). To form iii, begin with the same upward stroke as in 11 and /lI. Then make a small counterclockwise circle at the top, returning to the same point and ending in a line down (Sf looks like JI with a small loop to the left oC its top). Do not make the Russian JI as tall as an English I. The first two letters. D and T. arc Cormed much like the English handwriuen nand m.

All four letters start with a basic line that curves downward, turning to the left. The fourth letter differs from the others only in that it starts with a small flourish at the lOp. The same stroke in the first, second, and third is the curved line from left to right that caps each leiter. The second has another downward stroke, ending toward the right before the cap is added. The third letter has as its third stroke a large loop at the bottom (like a closed, looped 6gure 2). The fourth has two loops on either side of the down stroke which resemble a figure 8 on its side.

Certain varieties of the English written capital are acceptable. Start outside and make the small top loop; the bottom half circle must be larger than the upper onc. For If, begin with an upward, clockwise curve, then make a downward, "u-shaped" curve. slanting back and down, finally curving to the right on the line. Capital Y is like the preceding Ictter, except that the curved downward stroke goes to the left. Unlike its small counterpart, capital Y starts high above the base line and mllst not extend below the line.

HANDWRITING DRILL

Practice copying the capilal leiters until you can write them easily and accurately.

D. Summary remarks on the handwriting system

I. All Russian capital letters except m and U have their base on the line and extend above it; Wand U. each has a small loop which extends below the linc.

2. Small handwriuen letters are of two types: long and short.


a. Long lellers

Three long letters have their base on the line and extend above it.

t d

,ndd

Five long letters have their base on thc line and extcnd below it.

b. Shori letters All the remaining letters are of the same height and are wrincn on the line except wand each of which has a short loop below the line.

SyUabification of words in Russian


80th in pronouncing words by syllable and in dividing them at the end. of a written line, there are certain important principles that should be followed. In pronunciation, the basic pallern is to end a syllable with a vowel wherever possible. cna--cH-60 pa-66-Ta-e-Te IUl--cbM6 CKa-)I(H-TC no-BTo-pH-Te
[spa-~i-ooJ

[ra-b6-ta-ji-ti] l!l;-lm6] [ska-fHi] [p....fta-r>-\;)

thanks [you] work letter tell [me)! say! repeat!

Consonant clusters beginning with p, n, H, and" are usually divided after these consonants. Final consonants are, of course, treated as part of the syllable which they end.

[Krran-dM] [c;.-taH;) [p6l-k,)

pencil read! shelf [u-Qi-yir,i--v~t ) university

In dividing wriuen words at the end of a line, these same general rules apply, but there is slightly more leeway in the division f)f clusters of consonants. For example, cecrpa may be divided ce-cTp:i (as in pronunciation), cec-T]ta, or cecr-pi. Doubled letters are always divided when carried over to the next line, for example, AH-aa and ooA-AiT... Single letters are never left at the end of onc line or at the beginning of the next.

NOTES

, Verbs in Russian almost always come in pairs called "imperfective" and 'perfectivc.' noiini is the perfective member of the imperfective-perfective pair of verbs HllTH and noiint. The imperfective member of the verbal pair usually describes an action viewed as a process (HATli to be going); the perfective usually describes an action in terms of its accomplishment or result (nom to go). Verbal pairs usually have the same root, but differ in their prefix or in their stem. The system of paired verbs is called "aspect," and the choice of which verb to use-imperfective or perfective-depends on how the Russian speaker views the action. In these early lessons, the student will encounter verbs of both aspects and will practice them as he meets them, without being expected to know both members of a particular pair or how one is formed in relation to the other.
J

Russian adverbs. unlike those in English, are usually placed before the verb: 4TO 8M Tcnepb ,ll,e.naeTe? B'fcpa 6W110 c06p{uHte? Jj nl.\t He 6b1J1. What are you doing now? Was there a meeting yesterday? I wasn't there.

It is also normal to place direct object pronouns before the verb.

The alternation of voiced and voiceless consonants


Besides the important feature of hardness and softness, the Russian consonant system is dominated by another significant element: the presence or absence of what is called "voice." A voiced consonant is one pronounced with an accompanying vibration of Ihe vocal cords. For example, the Russian [b,~; v, y; d, 9; z,~] are all considered voiced consonants. So, too, are the English b in boys, v in view, d in dog, and z in zip. In contrast, a \'oiceless (or unvoiced) consonant is one pronounced without this accompanying vibration of the vocal cords. For example, the Russian [p, g; f, f; t, t; s, ~] are all considered voiceless consonants in the system. Similarly, the English pin poise,finfew, t in togs, and s in sip are voiceless consonants. The main difference between the Russian and English treatment of tbe voiced and voiceless consonants is that in Russian there is a systematic replacement of one by the other under prescribed circumstances while in English there is not. We can pronounce the English gooseberry wilh either

an [s] or a (z) sound, and both are acceptable. Russian, however, requires that the written JJ. of .o!lKa be pronounced (t) because it occurs before (k), an unvoiced consonant: [votb). Although all Russian consonant sounds may be characterized as voiced or voiceless, not all occur in opposed pairs. The following chart shows the regularly opposed pairs.

p R f

s I

The consonants (x, ~, c, c, ~l are all voiceless, but do not have voiced counterparts that operate independently in the system. They can, however, affect the pronunciation of a preceding consonant. The consonants (r, f, I, l, m, rp, n, Q, j) possess voice, but have no corresponding voiceless counterparts. They are considered "neutral" because they do not determine the pronunciation of other consonants occurring in combination with them. In terms of the Russian writing system, the paired voiced and voiceless consonants may be indicated as follows:

Since the writing system does not accurately refleci the spoken language, it is essential for the student to know which consonants are voiced, which are voiceless, and, especially, which are paired in terms of voice or absence of voice. This is important because, in certain positions, only consonant sounds of one or the other series are spoken, regardless of the spelling. The automatic alternation of voiced and voiceless consonant sounds operates, UDder the following conditions. within a word or combination of words spoken together as a unit. 1

A. At the end of a word, consonanlS ordinarily voiced are replaced automatically by their unvoiced counterparts.

B. Consonants in clusters, either within one word or in adjacent words pronounced without a

break, are assimilated to the extent that the entire cluster is pronounced either voiceless or voiced. Note, in the following examples. that it is the second or last voiced or voiceless consonant in the series that determines how the preceding consonant(s) will be pronounced. 1.

The consonant B (ab) must be considered a special case. Allhaugh it undergoes unvOIcmg (i.e., it is pronounced as [fJ or [0 either in final position or when followed by an unvoiced consonant), it docs nol cause a normally voiceless consonant preceding it to become voiced. Thus, both .JBiJtH (with cluster (zvJ) and cs.ari (with cluster [sv)) ex.ist in Russian. To summarize, we may say thaI the assimilation of consonants is a regressive process in Russian: the last element affects tbat which precedes it. Thus, in the following series, Position 2 dctcnnines the quality of Position J in terms of voice or its lack.

The shorl-form adjectives agree with their subject in gender or number. Note that those used wilh masculine subjects have no ending, those used with feminine subjects end in -a, and those used with plural subjects end in _..... 1 Note that the stress may shift 10 the ending, particularly in the feminine form: OKi laRg-ni. (Compare il wilh OK :u'IUIT.) If the slem ends in more than one consonant. the masculine fonn may contain a vowel that does nOI appear in the other forms. This vowel appears belween the last two consonants of the slem. Compare Ott M.!lett with oHli 6oJW:li, W 6o.rn.itW.

Introductory remarks on the Russian case system


By now you have noled that Russian nouns may vary Iheir endings in accordance with the way they function in a sentence. Thus, in the following examples, the Russian word for laboratory changes its ending according to whether it indicates location or destination.
lOCATION OfSTtNATION

Qua pa66Tae-r B na60paTopHli. QHa ".neT B na60paTopHlO.

She works in a laboratory. She's on her way to the laboratory.


Ll'SSON

53

Compare the examples with English, where the word laboraTory does not change but a different preposition is used: in for location and to for destination. In Russian the same preposition (8) is used but a different "case" form of the noun is required: prepositional case for location and accusative case for destination. There are six cases in Russian, used in both the singular and the plural. They are given below together with a brief comment on their primary function. CASE NAME NOMINATIVE ACCUSATIVE GENlTIVE PREPOSITIONAL I DATIVE ABBREVIATION NOM or N ACC or A GEN or G PREP or p OAT or D PRIMARY FUNCTION TO tNDICATE grammatical subject of sentence direct object, complete goal of action possession, absence, limitation location or focus of activity indirect object, person affected (in impersonaJ constructions) instrument or means of accomplishment of activity

INSTRUMENTAL

INSTR or I

The nominative form is customarily used in citing nouns, pronouns, and adjectives in dictionaries or otherwise out of context.

Remarks on stems and endings: the concept of "zero" ending


Since Russian, like Latin and German, relies heavily on changes in the fonns of its nouns, adjectives, and verbs for grammatical purposes, the student must be able to identify and manipulate both stems and grammatical endings. Briefly stated, the stem is the part of a word that remains relatively constant; the ending is the part that varies to show grammatical changes. Compare the following sets, observing that both existent endings and the absence of endings provide important grammatical information.

MOCKBa OKHO o.u.uo CJI0BO

cron
6H 3J1.0pOB OH 6bi.n

Moscow window one word table he's well he was

s MOCKBy Ha OKHe MHoro cnos Ha crone omi 3,IlopOBa 0HiJ. 6blJUi

to Moscow on the window many words on the table she's well she was

The concept of the nonexistent or "21:ro" ending is a very important one for Russian. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, and numerals all have forms where a "zero" ending contrasts with explicit endings.
, The prepositional case is also frequenlly called the loco/ill/! ca5/!. II is the one case in Russian that is tlc.er used without a preposilion.

54

LESSON 4

For example, most masculine nouns have a "zcro" ending in their nominative singular case fonn. A "zero" ending also occurs after the suffix JI in the masculine past tense fonn, contrasLing with the feminine ending -s, the neuter ending -0, and the plural ending -H. Furthennore, mosl feminine and neuter nouns have a 'ozero" ending in the genitive plural, in contrast with all of their case fonns that occur with an ending. Compare cOOBO word, CilOB8 words with CIt6B ofthe words; and KHMra book, .mn books wilh IOlIir of the books.

DISCUSSION

Masculine and ncuter nouns such as ypOK, nopl'4Mh, c06pallHc, and IDIChMO, which refer to other than living beings, have the same form in the accusative case as in the nominative. The accusative case is used in Russian for the direct object of a verb, or for the object of certain prepositions such as B or Ha, used in conjunction with verbs of motion. It is important to remember that in the meaning to, certain nouns require the preposition B while others require the preposition ua.

NOTES

Herring is a very common food in the Russian diet; it is served not only as

an appetizer, but as a main course as well.


2 Each room in a university dormitory has its DlKicll. which may serve both as a cupboard and as a wardrobe. (Built-in closets are not to be found in the Soviet Union, nor are they generally found elsewhere in Europe.) Each floor in the dormitory has a kitchen where students can prepare tea, snacks, or light meals.

The formation of Russian hard [I] differs from that of English t in thai the tip of the tongue closes off the air stream by making contact against the back surface of the upper teeth. whereas English 1 is fonned by stopping the air stream Carther back, on the ridge of the gums behind the teeth. Sort Russian ltJ. on the other hand, is formed by a closure of t..he front part of the blade of the tongue (not the tip) against the ridge of the gums and has the effect on the ear of being followed by a ylike glide. In addition, neither Russian hard [t] nor soft [tJ (nor any other Russian consonant, for that matter) ever has the puff of breath that usually accompanies English I.
Sound Drill: Practice the Russian paired examples illustrating hard [t] and soft Itl, imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can. Be sure to avoid the puff of breath that often accompanies the English I.

Russian hard [n] is formed, like Russian hard It], by closing off the air stream with the tip of the tongue which strikes the back surface of the upper teeth. (Be careful not to make an English n. where the air stream is closed farther back on the gums above the upper teeth 1) Russian soft (Q] is formed like Russian soft It], that is. with the front part of the upper surface of the tongue against the ridge of the gums above the upper teeth and with the tip of the tongue touching tbe teeth. It has the effect of being followed by a ylike glide and sounds something li.ke English ny in such words as canyon and onion; however, the y*like glide in Russian must never be separated and made a separate consonant sound as it is in English. Sound Drill: Practice the Russian examples illustrating hard [n] and soft {Q], imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can. Notice par* ticularly that before [k) and [g], Russian [nJ does not take on the ng sound that occurs in such English words as bank and finger.

Grammatical gender of nouns


All Russian nouns belong to one of three genders: masculine. feminine. or neuter. Besides distinctions based on natural gender. such as we find in English, Russian assigns all nouns to one of the three categories.

It is essential for the student of Russian to know the gender of each noun be encounters. This is important because such words as adjectives and past tense verbs vary their form in agreement with the gender of the noun they accompany.

My briefcase was there. My wife was there. My letter was there.

The gender of most nouns can be predicted from the written nominative singular form. Nouns whose final letter in tbe nominative singular is a bard consonant, "I, lit, or ii (i.e., with a zero ending), are masculine. Similarly, most nouDS ending in -a or -II are feminine, and nouns ending in -0, -e, or -e are neuter. FEMININE

Nouns ending in -8 or --JI are masculine, however, if they refer to a male person: JJ.iJIK uncle, .neAYUlKll grandfather, BaM Vanya (Johnny), MHma Misha (Mike), Crenll Styopa (Steve), rpHwll Grisha (Greg), BJiCSil Vasya. Most of tbese are nicknames. Nouns whose gender cannot be ascertained from the written fonn alone are those wbose nominative s.inguJar ends in the soft sign ....... Most of these nouns are feminine, but many are masculine. They will be identified as m (masculine) or f (feminine) in the glossaries. for example, Ocettb (f)/all, OOiepem. (I) line, ,a:aePb (f) door, I10pTtenb (m) briefcase, aetu. (m) day; otherwise the gender of nouns will not ordinarily be indicated.

Verbal aspects
Compared with the higbJy complex system or tenses in Englisb, the Russian verb is structurally very simple. English makes considerable use of such auxiliary verbs as do, have, be, and will in forming its many compound tenses. Russian uses only a single compound tense used to fonn one kind

70

La'iON

of future; otherwise, past, present, and future in Russian verbs are expressed by simple, one-word verb forms. To illustrate the economy of forms in the Russian system, compare the following:
RUSSIAN ENGLISH

pa60TaJJ

worked, was working, did work, used to work, have worked, had worked, had been working

Similarly, all of the following English verbal concepts can be expressed in Russian by the simple present verb paOOTafO: [I) work, [I] am working, [I] do work, [I] have been working, [I] have worked. Despite its structural simplicity, bowever, the Russian verb possesses an added dimension called "aspect," which enables it to make refinements comparable to the English. The system of "aspects" involves two contrasting categories: imperfective aspect versus perfective aspect. The aspect a Russian speaker uses depends on tbe way be views the action. Broadly speaking, the imperfectiW! aspect focuses on tbe activity as a process, without regard to ils tenninaling point in time. The perfective aspect, on the other hand, focuses on tbe activity as a completed (or to be completed) action marked off in time, often emphasizing the result rather than the process. Compare the use of the two aspects in the past tense of the verbs oo... ymin. and t.::ymin.; IMPERFECrtVE PERFECTIVE

Imperfective and perfective verbs often differ structurally only in that one is prefixed and the other nol. Both imperfective and perfective verbs may be used in the past and future. In the present, only imperfective verbs are used.

Repeat tbe above models, observing the basic pattern. The past tense is regularly signaled by tbe suffix -n, usually added to a vowel-ending stem. The endings that follow are gender-number endings, with zero for masculine, -8 for feminine, -0 for neuter, and -II for plural. Note that the past tense fonns always have a hard n in the singular, but a soft n in the plural: nM (gil] versus mimr (gitil, CToliJl [stajal] versus CTo!i:n:. [stajaliJ.

LESSON 5 77

DISCUSSION The past tense of Russian verbs is expressed by the past tense suffix -JI plus the appropriate gender or number ending to agree with the subject. With most verbs the past tense suffix is added to a form of the stem ending in a vowel: 6':'-n, AYM&-J1, nOKyna-n, BHn.e-n, cToli-n, rOBOpH--n, and so forth. Stress. The stress is usually the same in aU four forms of past tense, but may shift to the ending in the feminine fonn, particularly with the shorter verbs. Compare 6bvi, 6':'Jlo, 6WH with 6l.1na (t); also nHJI, n"Jlo, nHJDI with DHna (t). In the combinations uii 61:>1J1, HC 6l.1J1o, and lie 6b1nH, the stress shifts from the verb to the negative particle He, Note, however, that it remains on the verb in the feminine form lie 6wJla.

1 Of the two words for pen, py"Ka is more commonly used in the Soviet Union now than nepa. More specifically, PY"tK8 means penholder and nep6 pen point.
Notice that these teons all refer to the old-fashioned type of pen used with an inkwell. Fountain pen is aBTOpy"lK8.
let's go is actually the plural past tense fonn of noiiTIi to go, to set off used as a special imperative in highly colloquial style. Compare it with the English expression we're off.

Russian hard [rJ is unlike any variety of American English r. It is something like the "rolled" Scottish r and practically identical with the r of Spanish, Italian, modem Greek, Serbo~Croatian. or Polish. In pronouncing Russian [rl, the tongue is trilled or vibrated, making one or more taps against the ridge of the gums behind the upper teeth. (American children sometimes make such a trill in imitating the sound of a machine gun or an airplane engine.) Soft [rJ is formed similarly, but the middle surface of the tongue is arched higher giving the effect of a y-like glide. l
Sound Drill: Practice the Russian paired examples illustrating hard [r] and soft [rl, imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can.

Intonation practice
Introductory remarks Within any major segment of speech some syllables are spoken at a higher relative pitch level than others. We designate these as 1 low, 2 middle, 3 high, and 4 extra-high, with the extra-high level occurring much less frequently than the other three. These levels are indicated graphically by a line which we call the intOflmion contour, drawn above the major segment through the primary and secondary stress points and ending in an arrow. An upward stroke indicates a slight rise in the voice (typical of certain kinds of questions), and a downward stroke indicates a falling of the voice. The primary stress point is indicated by a small circle and the secondary stress points by small black dots on the intonation contour directly above the stressed syllables.
EXAMPLE

, One hears something like the Russian [r] in certain imitations of upper-class British speech, for example, in the pronunciation of lerribly when the r sounds almost like a d.

LESSON

Intonation drills A. Slatemel1ls with fo//ing contours. In contours of this lype lhe high peak occurs in the first part of lhe segment, dropping gradually thereafter and making lhe sharpest drop on or immediately before the syllable with primary slress. The basic range is from 2 or 3 down to I, although the slarting point may be an upward rise from level 2 to level 3. These countours are typical of neutral statements, exclamations. and commands. lmilale lhe leacher or tape as accurately as you can.

DISCUSSION

The second conjugation verb l'OBOpH-rb, unlike COeIUHTh, has its stem ending in a soft consonant. The spelling ending of the first person singular of rOBOpKTb is -w, and that of tbe third person plural is -AT: rosop.o, rOBopn. Since CnernHTb has its stem ending in a hard consonant, the firSI person singular has the ending ~Y and the third person plumJ has the ending -aT: enemy, cuernaT. The stress paltem is the same in both verbs. The endings for the other persons are written the same for both verbs: -Hmb, -tIT, --HM, -tITe. Note from the transcription following that p is soft throughout in rosopal"b, and that ill is hard throughout in CUernHTb. (It is only a convention of tbe spelling system that H and not LI is written after hard consonant Ill.)

DISCUSSION

The perfective verb nom is the aspect pair of the imperfective verb tI)ITIi. Both nom and 83m 10 lake are first conjugation perfective verbs which take the same set of endings in their perfective future as MJl,ni does in the present.

SINGULAR

noiiJI.-y

PLURAL

-yr

For convenience, we may call such endings as these "present-future" endings. Although they are the same for both imperfective and perfective verbs, they have different meanings, depending on the aspect of the verb. When the verb is imperfective, the endings signalize the present tense; when the verb is perfective, the endings signalize the future. It is important to note that the perfective future has in it the particular limitations inherent in the perfective aspect. It describes a future action in terms of its realization, completion, or result; thus it contrasts with the imperfective, which focuses on either the process itself or its repetition.

as a man: She's our professor.

Compare it with the masculine noun yooiTe.m., which has a corresponding feminine equivalent rnrrenhUHQ&. Note, however, that the masculine plural )"tHTerui can refer to a mixed group of teachers, but that the feminine plural rnrreJlbUMUbI refers only to women teachers.
.. nnp6u is the feminine form of neTp6B and may mean Miss or Mrs. Petrov, depending upon the context. It is not considered impolite to refer to a man or woman simply by using the last name; for example, BOT lIlIeT u.api..aK1Dla means Here comes Miss (or Mrs.) Tsarapkin. In addressing the person, however,

either the first name and patronymic or the nickname is usual. rOCOOrofH and rocoo~i are used by Russians only when referring to foreigners or by emigre Russians. does nol meanfacully in the American sense, but corresponds to the branches of the university we call schools, divisi01Lf, or departments.

Intonation practice: part I-questions without question words


Questions with a rising contour. This contour is characteristic of questions without question words; these sentences usually present an alternative which can be answered "yes" or "no." In such questions the final word carries the major stress. The pitch begins at about level 2 and rises to a peak on the major stress. It is either sustained or, in unstressed final syllables, it may drop.
Practice the following drills, imitating the tape: or the instructor.

Notes
I. The ending -H occurs instead of ---bl in the hard stem nOJl- and *eHa-ciass nouns whose final consonant is *, 01, 14'. r, or x: 1100h.-H, K'apaJIAalUH, aMCpHK'3.IIKH, KUHnt, JlO:llOCH. 2. Some eToJl-ciass nouns take the nominative plural ending -a or -H, which is practically always stressed: npolj)eccopa, yU....eJIH, ropoAa. 3. Many nouns have a different place of stress in the plural than they have in the singular. Compare *CH8 with *elll>l, oteHO with otcns, UHCLMO with mtCLMa, f"opo)J, with ropoA8, and cecrpa with cccrp.... 4. Some cToJl-class nouns have an inserted vowel in the nominative singular which does not appear elsewhere in the declension. Compare the singular AellL with the plural AUH, 3BOuOIC with 3BOfiKIi, and IJOLtapoK with 1I0Ltap1CH. Most nouns ending in -eLt in the nominative singular have this feature. Compare aMepHICauen with sMepHICtUlI(LI. YK'PaHHClI with yK'paHnl...., and Of"ypeQ with OI)'pQY. 5. A few CTOJI- and O~1l6-class nouns have their stems soften<.'O and expanded in the plural by the addition of [j]. The nominative plural of such nouns is written with -I. plus II (-MI). Compare nepci with nepbll, 6paT with 6paTbH. and cryJl with CTyJlLH. In the plural of My*, the soft sign is written but the * is not pronounced soft: My:lKbH [muijaJ.

(in some instances)

I. All JJ,Ilep..-class nouns spell their nominative plural ending with -N (usually unstressed), which replaces -I> of the nominative singular: .IlBiPb, AUptI; OotepeJJ.b, o..epeJJ."; nT'pliJu., TeTpW.

2. Most oKH6-class nouns spell their nominative plural ending with -a (replacing nominative singular -0) or -II (replacing nominative singular -e or ~): OKR6, OK'fUl; Aeno, Aemii; co6plimte, co6pliJuul: Min.e, Man.JI.

3. Some aMclass nouns spell their nominative plural ending with -a or -II, which is almost always stressed: npo+ettop, npo+eccopa; ropoA, ropoJJ.a; rnrreJU., Y'fHTe.ruI; Kpaii, KpaJil regions. Note that the plural ending -JI replaces ........ and -ii of the nominative singular in the spelling of these forms.
--Lt

4. All *etulc1ass nouns and most croJl-ciass nouns spell their nominative plural ending with or -H: .eua, :lKem.r; crOJJ, CT01tW; aBTooyc, aB'rooycw; cecTPa, cecTpw; K'JltO.., 1(!IIO..ti. Note that nouns ending in -II, -ii, or - .. in Ihe nominative singular replace these letters with -II in the nominative plural: IlCTOpHlI, HCTOptrM history; 'I:iii, 'laM; UOpT+en". UOpT+enM.

Hard stem ZeH.8.- and crM-class nouns take the ending -H instead of - ... if their stem ends in K, r, x, w, or *: ypOK, ypOKH; KHIira, KHMnI; no*, HO.... ; KapallJuiw, KaPa.ll.Aawti; Kop66Ka, KopOOKIlI. Note that K, r, and x are then pronounced soft before-No

Inserted vowels and alternation of stems

As compared with endings, which regularly change, stems are relatively stable. However, some stems show a regular paUern of alternation, with a vowel occurring in certain forms and not in others. In Ihe examples below, nole that the nominative singular contains the inserted vowel 0 or e as its next to last letter, while the nominative plural occurs without the inserted vowel.

LE'iSON 7

The vowel is inserted between the last two stem consonants and serves not only to break the cluster, but also, frequently, to carry the stress. Such inserted "c1usterbreaking" vowels typically occur in case forms with a zero ending. i.e., in the nominative singular of CTOJI-c1ass nouns and in the genitive plural of *etta- and OIOi6-class nouns.
Expanded stems in tile plural

Although singular and plural stems are usually the same, some nouns have a plural stem that differs in certain respects. For example, some OKHO- and CTM-class nouns with a singular stem ending in a hard consonant, soften this consonant (if it can be softened) and add a liJ for the plural stem. Note that in the Cyrillic writing system, the U1 is expressed by means oft. followed by the softseries vowel letter SI for the nominative plural.

DISCUSSION

English in (i.e., in (he interior) is usually rendered by Russian 8 and English on by Russian ua. in the desk (or table) BCTone on the desk (or table) ua CTOne io the book B 1t1llfre 00 the book "a )Quire

(011

the surface)

However, the English concept at may be rendered by either Hll or .. especially if the place described is viewed in tenns of its function or the activity carried on there. In such instances, the choice between ua or a is not dictated by the idea of position "inside" or "outside;' but is fixed for a particular noun and must be memorized by the student as a set phrase. As a general rule, B is more commonly used if the place is a building or enclosure, and ua is used if the place is described in tenns of the activity carried on there.

Remarks on stress sbift in nouns


A change in the position of the stress occurs frequently in the Russian declension of nouns, but it follows fairly regular patterns. The most typical of these pauems are given below.
1. Stress shirt from stem in the singular to endings in the plural.

NOM so ropaLl
~eno

PREP so B ropone o nine o MYJKe 06 Y'lirrene o npo4)Cccope OWx3.<Pe

NOM PL ropoAa

My><
yuheJll. npo<j>ec=p WKafjl

~en' M)'*bli Y'lHTeJlli npo<j>eccopa uu:afjlw

2. Stress shift from endings in the singular to stem in the plural:


NOM so :lICeHli
=pO

PREP so o :lICCHe

NOM PL :lICellbi
cecrp~

PREP PL o :CHax o cecrpax o 31iM8X lIa oKHax o nepb)lX o m.fcLMaX

o cecrpe
o 311Me H80KKe o nepe o IlIICbMe

3HM3 OKHO ncpO nllCbMO

3HMbI oKHa nepbJl nJ1CbMa

3. Stress shirt from stem in the nominative singular to endings in all the singular and plural forms where a vowel ending exists. NOM so cron 3BOHOK Kapau.A<iw KJUO. 110. orypeu. Jl3WK PREP 50 lIa CTOne o 3BOHKe o Kapallnawe o ICJ1101Ie o 1I0.e 06 orypu.e o Jl3b1Ke NOM PL CTonw 3BOHK" KapaHnaWH V1lOlIH HO:ltai
orypl.l.bl

PREP PL Ha crona-x o 3BOHdx o KapaJlLI,awax o V1JOlIax o ROXaX 06 orypuax o Jl3b1Xax

Jl3l>/K"

The third group of nouns actually have tbeir stress consistently on the endings, where there actually are endings. Where the ending is zero (as in the nominative singular) the stress is of necessity on the stem, usually on the last syllable.

NOTES

Pli,3Be is a word used to express surprise or incredulity, such as: you don', mean to say! it is,,'t possible! really! and so forth. Note the use of the pluml uwrrH.II to mean class. This is the usual word for classes or studies at the university. JleKltH.II may also be used to refer to university classes, but it is more often used in its literal sense (lecture) to describe an event outside class, such as a talk by a visiting lecturer. Compare also ypOK (literally lesson), used botb to mean any kind of pTimte lesson and c/as.s at the preuniversity level.

DISCUSSION

HCT means both flO (as the opposite of Ali) and there is (or. are) no or there isn'/ (or aren't) any. Historically it comes from a combination of He plus Ccrb. When HeT i~ used in constructions with the genitive it focuses on the lack or absence of the subject. It differs from constructions using the nominative plus He, where the focus is not on the absence but on some other element of the sentcnce.
Compare with

DISCUSSION

Hk of the present tense is replaced in the past tense by ue 61>1110 in constructions focusing on the absence of a thing or person. The noun or pronoun indicating the missing thing or person is in the genitive case. However, the nominative may be used for the subject (together with He plus 6w, 6b1J1a, 6wo, or 6WJH) if the focus is not on the absence itself, but on same other element of the sentence.

NOTES

I Here ToaapHlll means comrade in the political sense, i.e., a party member. It is very common in official situations. however, for Soviet citizens to use tbe word (especially in the plural) without any necessary implication that persons so addressed are party members. A foreigner should never use TOBapHUI in addressing a Soviet citizen. TosapKlU is also used in the nonpolitical sense, meaning comrade or friend, but it implies a more casual relationship than ~PYr friend. One may have many TOsaplO1lH, but few Jqty3b1i. Both IJ.PYr and TOsapHUIl like npo4tkcop and CCKpe"ripb, are grammatically masculine, but may refer to both men and women:

Students who work at factories and take correspondence courses have a priority in obtaining lodgings. The Soviet cry.a.ewr-13.6'IIUIK or cryAeIlT'K8-u6<nnma differs somewhat from the American correspondence-school student in that the latter does his entire work through correspondence. The Soviet correspondenceschool student must meet at least once or twice a year for laboratory sessions, summary lectures, consultations on future work, and examinations.

Pronunciation practice: hard consonants [k), [g], and [x) and their soft counterparts [~), [g), and ['I].
and
A.

loll

Hard consonants [k), [g), and before vowels [e] and Ii].

[xl

are regularly replaced by their sort counterparts

\:l. [gl.

Hard [k] and sort counterpart ~] Usual Cyrillic spelling K; sometimes r.

Note the pronunciation of hard [k:] in the following: [mash'a) [kuda]

Russian hard [kJ is made in much the same way as English k except that there is nOI the slight h-like puff of breath typical of the English k. Sound Drill: Practice the Russian examples illustrating hard [k] and soft ~], imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can. Notice that bard fkl occurs before [0], (aJ, lu], and [~J, whereas soft [k] occurs before [e] and (i). At the end of a word, only hard [k] occurs-never soft [~J.

B.

Hard [g) and soft counterpart [gJ Usual Cyrillic spelling r; sometimes

K.

Note the pronunciation of hard [g] in the following:


[~varat]

(vgurpi]

rosopliT s rYMe

they say at GUM and compare it with soft [g]: [jivgeQij] [gil] EsreHHii Evgeny guide

rHJt

Russian hard [g) and soft [g] are made with the vocal organs in the same position as for hard [k] and soft [%.], but they are voiced.
176 LESSON 9

Sound Drill: Practice the Russian examples illustrating hard [g] and soft i], imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can. Notice that hard [g] occurs before [0], [a], [u], and [~], whereas soft (g] occurs before [e] and [i).

C.

Hard [xl and soft counterpart [~J Usual Cyrillic spelling X; rarely r. Note the pronunciation of bard [x] in the foUowing:
[x:)ra~]

xopowo
3aJtO)llfTe

[,.",,~jlil

good come in

and compare it with soO: ['1): XHTp6. cXCMa Khitrov scheme

The sound [xl does not occur in English (though it does appear in Gennan ach, Bach, and Such, or in Spanish mujer and hijo). It is formed in the same part of the mouth as [k] and [gl; but, instead of completely closing ofT the air stream, tbe back of the tongue merely approaches the back part of the roof of the mouth SO that the air stream vibrates in the constricted passage thus produced. The soft counterpart [~] is produced slightly further forward in the mouth. Sound Drill: Practice the Russian examples illustrating bard [x] and soft ['I], imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can. Notice thai hard [xl occurs before [0], [a], [u], and [~], whereas soft ['I] occurs before [e] and [i]. At the end of a word, only hard [x] occurs-never soft ['I].

Intonation practice: emphatic statements with rising-faUing intonation curve


Emphatic statements with rising-falling contours are those in which the major stress is not in the final position, but is shifted forward to a medial position in the sentences. The intonation contour is similar to that of questions without question words which have their major stress in the medial position, except that the entire contour is on a lower level and the drop after tbe major stress is sharper.

DISCUSSION

The preposition y is always followed by the genitive case. Besides its use in to have constructions (e.g., y MetUI ecTL), it has several other functions. I. In a purely spatial sense with inanimate nouns, it indicates close proximity.

6" CTOin: Y01018.


nOAo*lUi y llBkpM.

He was standing at (or by) the window. Wait at (or by) the door.

2. With nouns and pronouns referring to people, it designates a place in tenns of the person located there. Thus it functions like the French chez and may be translated 01 Ihe house (or office or place) of. Forms of the verb 6Wn. plus y often correspond to tbe English concept to visit.

2. The prepositions "3 and for example:


"30 ,D.llli s .nellb ,nellb 01'0 ,D.mi

01'

also have variants "30 and

OTO,

but these occur far lesS' frcquenlly,

day in, day out from day to day

3. All prepositions are pronounced as a unit with the word that follows. Prepositions OT and "3, like most short prepositions, are normally pronounced withoul a stress: OT Hero [a~ivoJ. H:J ropo,tta [izg6r.x1.~J. When preposition c precedes a word beginning with another C, it is pronounced without a break as a long [s): c co6paHHII [ssabcl.Q.j~].

Unlike most of the shorter prepositions, which are ordinarily pronounced with no stress, the prepositions o.-eno, npOTU, n6cne, and Hac..e-r are pronounced with stress. Although weaker than the stress of the word following, they serve to maintain the [0] vowel quality, which in the unstressed prepositions .10 and OT is reduced to [a] or [~]. Note, however, that if the speaker wishes to point up a contrast, even the shorter prepositions may be pronounced with a stress:

DISCUSSION

Only a small nwnher of Russian verbs have infinitives ending in -"110. All belong to the first conjugation, and all have basic stems ending in r or K. SO far we have encountered only MOIfh (imperfective) and CMO"llo (perfective) can, to be able. In the present-future of MQoo,. and CMO"IIo, the basic r of the stem is replaced by .. in the second and third pe~ons singular and in the first and second persons plural.

Let's go to the dance. No, that's not a Russian dance.

In Russian it is correct and not at all impolite to start with oneself in referring to a group:
nOiiJJ,CM Bee BMecre: Ii, N, BnamfMKp H OJIl~;'-.

Russians do not put a comma aner the next to the last item in a series if the conjunction H precedes the last item. If the H is omitted, then the comma must be used: Ii, ThI, BmV1I6f1IP. Oner. In the expression Ha onum. KYpce. the noun Kjpc is used to mean class year (comparable to such terms as freshman or S()phomore). Kjpc can also mean course, as in KyPC HcrOPHH history course.
J

Bo.rrOLUI is a nickname for BJlaMMHp. Similarly, KaT'll is short for EK8repma. and 3ICHa for 3MH8.MAa.

, The word mipeub boy, lad, or fellow was formerly restricted to a country or working-class boy. Since World War 11 its usage has been extepded to refer to any young man.

LESSON 10

Summary remarks. The accusative functions primarily to indicate thc goal of a verbal action, i.e., the direct object of a transitive verb. Used in conjunction with such prepositions as a and tla, it indicates the goal to which the action is directed. . The accusative is also frequently used in expressions of timc, where it may occur either with or without a preposition, for example, B Cy660Ty, Ila hOT pa3, acw 3H:My. When used without a preposition, it indicates the complete span of time encompassed by the activity.

Second conjugation verbs undergo a stem change in the first person singular present-future if their stem ends in .n, T, e, 1, 6, n, B, 4t, or M. J. Denlals.n, T, e, and J are automatically replaced by tbeir palatal alternates lie, "I, W, and '" respectively, and the first person singular ending is spelled -yo 2. Labials 6, n, B, l), and M add a sort n before the first person singular ending -10.

Note thaf fhe change in Sfem OCClirs only in fhe firsf person singular.

If the stress is on the last syllable of the infinitive, it will fall on the ending of the first person singular, but win often shift back ODe syllable in all other forms of the present-future. Compare c:npoam., cnpowj with copOaunb, copOarr. mpOca.\t. cupOarre, cop6cwT. If the stress of the infinitive falls on a syllable other than the last, it will remain on Jhat same syllable in all forms, for example,
OC"T1iBHTb, OCTlhtJllO, OCTUIIIllb, ocniSMT, ocnisH.\t, ocriBMTe, OCTisaT.

In the past tense, the stress is consistently on the same syllable as in the infinitive, for el(ample, men., SHD.e.rr, BK.rte.rra, ali.ne.oo, ltIi.ae.mt; mo6Hn., mo6H.rr, nlO6Ma, m06K.rto, nI06MM.

DISCUSSION

As in the past tense, the imperfective and perfective aspects are sharply contrasted in the future. The imperfective future is used to describe future activity not specifieally marked off in time, or activity expected to occur more than once in the future. Thus the focus is on the activity as a process or recurring phenomenon. Th.is type of future is formed by means of the future of 6brrb plus the imperfective infinitive. The perfective future, on the other hand, describes future activity of a more concrete, realizable nature. It focuses on the completion or accomplishment of the activity, and it concerns itself more with the result than the process. It is a simple form, structurally like the present tense and employing the sa":le personal endings as the present tense.

NOTES

Note that in a subordinate clause, Russians usc the present tense if the present tense is really meant. Compare the English, / thought you neyer weill to the mOYies, where a past tense verb went is required because it is preceded by a past tense verb rhought in the main clause. The Russian past tense is only used to describe events in the past that no longer occur in the present. sI .aYM8J18, 'ITO Rbi HHKorJUi lie XO,AHJIH B KHUll would mean / thought you Neyer used to go (or had gone) to the movie.!>'. Activities begun in the past and continuing in the present require the present tense in Russian. For example:
I

Bw ,ttaBHo J,ttCCb )KHBeTe?


A. J.neCb pa66T3.JO C 6ceHH.
~

Have you been living here long? I've been working here since fall.

XO.ruh'b differs from IIl(lli in that it describes the activity of going in general terms, to go or to at/end, whereas H,LtTIi is more specific and means to be going or to be on one"s way
Compare with
~ XO)Ky

ua c06pil.nHg,

.H

It,nJ Ha c06paHHe.

I go to the meetings (I attend meetings). I'm going to a meeting (I'm on my way to a meeting).
LESSON II 227

With such adverbs as "aCTO, peAKO, HHKorna, and NHOrJIJi, the verb XO,rofn. is normally used: BY ..aCTO xO./DfTe B napK? Do you often go to the park? ) Note that the reflexive personal pronoun ce6e (rather than ~) must be used here since the subject of the sentence and the object of the preposition 0 are the same:
..sf He XO'ly roaopkTl,
0

ce6e.

I don't want to talk about myself.

The single form ce6e can refer to any of the personal pronouns:

ce6e. OHM ,DjMaJOT TOm.KO 0 ceW. Bbi .QjMaere TOIlbKO 0 ce6e.


TonhKO 0

Om1 AYMaeT

She thinks only of herself. They think onJy of themselves. You think only of yourseJf{or yourselves).

Ce6i has no nominative form. It is usually cited. in the accusative-genitive form 6li.

NOTES

I The verb HpaSJITbCJI (perfective nOHpaBMTt.C1iI) is the usual word for to like and expresses a milder apprecialion Ihan mo6MT... which means both to like and to fOlie. In connection with something experienced for the first lime, upaBKT1>CJI, noupaBHTbeJI must be used: Hr, OOapSBHJlOCl.? Well, did you /ike it? JIJo6Hn. describes a stronger, more deep-seated emotion or attitude: A mo6.'UO nuuesan. rm lJery fond of dancing. In the sense of 10 love, only JD06Iin, can be used.
1JIeB TOJJC'I"6H (1828-1910) is one of the major figures in Russian literature. His long novel 8oiiHa H MHP~) Wor and Peace was wriuen in the early 1860's. Notice that TOJ]CTOM is adjectival in its declension, e.g., TOJlcrOl"O (gen sg).

The noun HMJI, like BpeMiI and a handful of other Russian nouns with the nominative cnding in --Mil, is neuter. H~IH usually applies to the first name, but is sometimes used in reference to both first and last names, especially when speaking of prominent personalities. In asking a person's name, the adverb KaK is used:
J

KaK BaWe HMJI? KaK Ballle HMJI H OT'fecTBO? KaK BaWa $aMHJnuI? KaK er6 30BYT?
4

What's your first name? What are your first name and patronymic? What's your last name? What's his name?

Note that Russians use the perfective past of certain verbs when, in corresponding situations, tbe present tense is more common in English:

.st 33.6blJl eC 1iMJI. .st On03,1:ta.'l, 113B}lHHre.


Jl yeTM.

I forget her name or I've forgouen.... I'm late (fit. I came late). Excuse me. I'm tired or I've become tired.

'The second person singular perfective future without the pronoun TbI IS often used in negative constroctions in Russian to make a general or impersonal statement. In English this is normally expressed by you can', or one can't:

Pronunciation practice: double consonants


Tn English double consonants are heard only~at a boundary between two words. Written double consonant letters within tbe word (as in Bill. hammer) are pronounced as single consonants.
Compare Will Lee go? Ann names. Kiss Sal. with Will 'e go? Ann Ames. Kiss AI.

In Russian, however. double consonants are heard not only across word boundaries, but also within words. Compare [a-tt<i1JjJ aT TanH from Tanya [ann:}] Anna Anna with [atAlJ.i] OT AnH from Anya [ivan:}]I1Bana of Ivan

Double consonants occur in Russian mainly at tbe point where a prefix or preposition joins the rest of the word. but they may also occur at other places within a word (e.g., [anna]). Note, bowever. that not every written sequence of two identical letters necessarily indicates a double consonant in pronunciation. Russians tend to pronounce many double letter sequences with a single consonant, especially in foreign-derived words. Thus, Ilpo4JecCOP and cy660l"a contain only single consonants in pronunciation. Usage varies in this respect. Many Russians pronounce rp,Yrma with a single [p], tbough orthographic handbooks prescribe [pp]. In rapid speech double consonants often tend to be replaced by single consonants. Sound Drill: Practice the Russian examples illustrating the contrast between double and single consonants, imitating your instructor (or the tape) as accurately as you can. Be sure to pronounce the double consonants as long consonants, without a break in the middle.

DISCUSSION

According to the pattern of their presentfuture endings, most first conjugation verbs drilled and discussed SO far fall into two groups: I. Those like 1t..Itlli, with the written presentfuture stem ending in a consonant, to which the stressed endings -y, -eon., -n-, -eM, -he, -tr are added: JICll-y, )lC.lJ.-euu., I.A-er, Q-eM, JIC.D.-e-re, JKll-:fr. The stem consonant is hard before the endings of the first person singular and the third person plural, but is soft before the other endings. Compare [fdij I, [Mutl with [f~6SJ, [tc16tl, [fQom], [fQ6ti]. Other verbs which pattern similarly are nOHTH, BOHTH, no.noHTH, nOAOJlCllaTb, npHuecTH, B3ATb, )lCHTb. Note that in contrast with thc prcsent-future, the infinitive-past tense stem of the verbs in this group may be considerably differcnt. Compare )KHTb, )KHJJ with )KIlBy, JKlfBeUlb; and B3An., B3AJI with B03bMY, B03bMeWb. 2. Those likc pa6OTaTh, with the written present-future stcm ending in a vowel, to which the unstressed endings -JO, -eun., -eT, -eM, -eTe, -JOT are added: 'IHrl-tO, 'UtT3.-eun., 'Iuti-CT, '!uti-eM, '!uT3.-eTe, '!un-toT'! Other verbs which pattern similarly are .aYMan., no.ajMan., 3HaTb, y.JHaTb, .ne.nan., c.nenaTb, nOlcynaTb, 06e.aan., noo!5enan., nOIIHMaTb, CJIjrnaTb, CDpalllHBan., mr:u..a:aTb.

'In struCluralterms. the prescnt-future stern ofsueh verbs aClually ends in the consonant sowuJ lil, which, as we know, is not written wilh an independenl symbol when it occurs between vowels. The soft-series vowel letters of the endings thus oonlain not only the ending, but also the final consonanl of the present-future stem, e.g., (~itflj-. ~it:l.j_u, ~iu'lj-utl. The imperative of verbs of this type is the one form in which the [jJ of the stem is represented by a separate IClIer in Cyrillic (-I), e.g., 'IHTiI! 'IHT{UiTe! cn~wHaaii! cnpAtuHBdTc!

Notes I. Most crOn-nouns ending in a hard consonant take the ending -OB in the genitive plural. Those ending in :.10:. lU, Of a sort consonant other than ii. take the ending -cii. 2. All J:tBkpb-nouns take the ending -eM in the genitive plural. 3. Most 0 ....0- and loKetlli-nouns have a zero ending in the genitive plural. In structural tcnns this usually makes their genitive plural fonn idcntical with their plural stem: loKCH, 1aUiJ', h.-apniH, .lle.'f, 1I.',1CH. The stem may be slightly modified, however, in two ways: a. A vowel may be inserted between the last two consonants of the stem as in OKOH (stem Oh:B-), CT)'.llem-OK (stem CT)'.llttrrK-), .lleBywet>: (stem ne8YWX-), and ~P (stern cecTp-). b. If the stem ends in the sound lJ], orthographic conventions require that it be written i: cOOpAuHii (stem [sabraqij-J), .rteKluDi (stern nekcij-J). If the stem ends in a soft consonant other than OJ, '4, or UI, the symbol L must be written to indicate the basic softness of the stem final consonant: HC.lI.em. (stem [Qic;lel-l).

Animate croll-nouns borrow the genitive singular endings (-8, -II) for the accusative singular: TOSapHIl..{8, Bna,uHMI:fp8, CTYneHTa, Hmon3.ll, )"lHTeJUI, napllJl, c. Only )lieHa-nouns have endings in the accusative singular distinct from tbose of the nominative or genitive singular (-y, -to); these are used for both animate and inanimate nouns: )Kelty, ICllliry, ceCTpj, ramo, HC1'6pl:fJO, Komo, neKUI:fJO.

2. Plural a. All inanimate

DISCUSSION

Although, according to strict grammatical rules, the direct object of negated verbs should be in the genitive case, there are some exceptions. The most common of these are: I. In informal spoken Russian tbe accusative singular of "'ella-nouns is often used instead of the expected genitive:

Ne "HTliJt i11' ICHHr)' (or A He........an :hoii KIIHne) I haven't read this book.

2. If (he negated verb is followed by an infinitive, the accusative is often used instead of the expected genitive:

A Ne Morj 0TKpbm. OKHO (or A He Morj OTKpLtn. OKHa) I can't open the window.

DISCUSSION

It is important to note the difference between the unchanging introductory iTo (see Lesson 5) and the declinable demonstrative iTOT, iTa, iTO, :h.... Note the following, which are complete sentences; the voice drops at the end of each:
~TO KOMUaTa. ~TO nepO.

This is a room. This is a pen.

Compare them with the following, which are not sentences; in speech the voice level is sustained:
in KOMHaTa :lTO nepO

this room this pen

Whereas unchanging iTo is independent of the other elements in the sentence, the demonstrative

trOT must agree in number, gender, and case with its noun referent. Note tbe following:
::ITo 6buT He M61i cnoBapb. 3TOT CJlOBapb own tie Mon.

It wasn't my dictionary.

That dictionary wasn't mine.

In the first case:iTO is independent; 6bv1 and M6H are masculine to agree with CJlOBapb. In the second case :iTOT, 6':".11, and M6ii are all masculine to agree with c.'10Bapb.

I The pQeol(HliK on Russian trains is the man in charge of an individual car. He differs from an American conductor in that the latler is responsible for several cars or the whole train. Thus job is something between that of a conductor and a porter. npoBO,ntlKIi' also means guide.

NOTES

LESSON 12

255

2 Like all nouns ending in -auKK, ....pncllanH:H loses -HH in the plural, and has the special nominative plural ending -c: . . pS*D,aHc. The stcm thus ends in sort [Q.] in the nominative plural, but in hard [nJ elsewhere in the plural: MHo....o rpa*Jf.aH, 0 rp3.*Jt auax . Although the American student or tourist in the Soviet Union may hear the word rpa*JI.aHHH used by train and streetcar conductors, bus drivers, and policemen, he should not u.se it himself in addressing Soviet citizens. Under no circumstances should he use roCDO.rom or rocnO)K3.. The best way to get the attention of a stranger is by saying K3SHHlITe, upocniTe, or cKa)Klfic, nO)K8J1yikra. Altbough the student probably will not use the terms himself, he may hear himself addressed as MOJloll,oii qeJIOIU~K or, in the case of a girl, lI,eSytDK3. J The so-called soft car MJD-KHii aarOn consists of fIrst-dass compartments with soft seats; each compartment accommodating four persons. Compartments in the hard car ...ecnnrii aaron have hard scats; each compartment seats six persons and sleeps four. In selling tickets, no attempt is made to separate men from women in sleeping cars, and the American tourist may be surprised to find he is sharing a sleeping car on a Russian train with one or more persons of the opposite sex. The verbs e3l1,HTh and exan. describe going by vehicle or some means other than on foot. t3lnITb is used for the generaJ (multidirectional) activity and exan. for the specific (unidirectional) activity. In this respect tbey parallel XO.lUTI. and H,!01I exactly.

In order to manipulate the various forms of the Russian verb, it is essential to recognize certain broad rules of compatibility vis-a.-vis stcms and endings. I. Infinjtive and past tense endings begin with consonants (T and 11) and, in almost all verbs, are added to a form of the stem ending in a vowel: :lI'iJ-Th, ""-11. 2. Present-future endings begin with vowels and are added to a form of the stem cnding in a consonant: *,",,-y, *ltB-eun., :HB-jT.1

Genitive plural noun endings: special problems


I. CTOil-Douns with stems ending in the always-hard consonant 1.\ take the ending -06 only if the stress falls on the ending: orypltOB. If the stress falls on the stem, the ending is spelled -eB:

llMepHKallu:eB, yKpaHuu:e6, TaHQeB. Remember that this is merely a spelling convention and thal is always pronowlced hard: [arpipkancif. ukrajincif, agurc6f].

2. Particular problems arise in forming the genitive plural of certain CTOn-- and oK1lo-nouns with stems ending in the consonant sound (j].

a. CTOJI-nouns ending in ii in the nominative singular take the genitive plural ending --es
(stressed: -CB).
NOM SG NOM PL

GEN PL

rep6" hero

b. Most CTOn- and oKRa-nouns which teoninate in unslressed -bH in the nominative plural take the ending -CB (retaining the preceding -b). Most are nouns with only their plural stems ending in U].

c. Those CTOJl~nOUns whose nominative plural terminates in stressed -bli: have a zero-ending genitive plural with e inserted before the final -ii. Here -ii is not an ending. strictly speaking. but the Cyrillic way of representing the stem consonant (j] after the inserted vowel.

DISCUSSION

The number one differs from the other numbers in that it is treated as a modifier with separate forms for each gender: O)];HII py6JTb, oAIIl'i Koue.iKa, O./UIO CJroao. The other numbers when used in nominative and accusative constructions are accompanied by thc genitive case: genitive singular for 2, 3, 4; and genitive plural for 5 and up. There is a special fer.ninine form for two: ABe; masculine and neuter nouns require.a.sa. It is important to remember that compounds such as 21, 22, 31, 32, 101, and 102 require the noun form to agree with the last element of the compound only: TpH.llUaTh OnHIl py6.'lb 3/ rubles, TpH.llUaTh ~ KOUeHKII 32 kopecks, TpKJ:J;u:aTb TpH CTyltelITa 33 students.

DISCUSSION

Mostnonprefixed, motion verbs have an added feature not found in other verbs: a double set of imperfectives used to distinguish between unidirectional motion and multidirectional motion. The unidirectional imperfectives describe a single, one-way trip to a specific destination. It may refer to an action that is (or was) in process or to one intended in the near future.

LESSON 12 271

The multidirectional imperfectives describe movement in marc than onc direction or unspecified as to destination. This may include one or more round trips, or movement in several directions.

I don't likc to walk. I went to the park (and returned). I went to Kiev (and returned). I onen go to Kiev.

In addition to the distinction between unidirectional and multidirectional movement, Russian also distinguishes between movement under one's own power (1IJtfli, xoroino) and movement by means of somc conveyance (ban., bavn.). While the verbs exan. and b,!IHTb are limited 10 the description of a person's travel by conveyance, the movement of the conveyance itself is usually described by means of IUfni or xoJUin,.

The verbs XO.n.Hn. and elJl.HTl> have perfectives which are very rarely used: noxoroin. to do a bit of walking and ooe:JAMTh to do a bit of riding. The most frequently used perfectives are fanned from IUIl"Ii and exaTb: nom and noexan.. These perfectives describe the accomplishment of setting out for one's destination with nothing said about the return.

Repeat the given models, noting the pattern of adjective endings. Observe that the stress may be consistently on the endings (as in 6<mbUlOii, ....(je, -aH, -He) or on the stem (as in XOpOUlHii, -ee, -aK, -He), but that there is no shifting of stress within the various forms of a particular adjective. Soft-stem adjectives always have their stress on the stem.

LESSON 12

DISCUSSION

Russian adjectives follow a fairly simple pattern of endings in the spoken language. Because of the peculiarities of the spelling system, however, they appear complicated in writing. For con venience we group them according to their last stem consonant as hard stems, sofl stems, and mixed stems. 1. Hard stems are those with stems ending in any hard consonant except ut, ~, ", r, or x: 6oJlbllOii, "pacNBblii, CTapblii. 2. Soft stems are those with stems ending in soft II: IlH~IIKii. BCpXHKii. 3. Mixed stems are those with stems ending in ", r, x, ut, ~, 't, and m: ~ecr"Kii, npyl"OH. 6oJJbwOii. l-opli'IHii.

Mixed stems ending in ,,) r, and x follow the same basic patlern of endings as hard stems, except that, instead of -Wi (m) and -ble (PI), the endings are -HH and -He respectively; the preceding K, r, or x is automatically softened. Compare KpacHBloIii, KpacHBblc with M8.rJCHbKHii, ManeHbKHc. Hard stems have the masculine ending -Oii if stressed, but -lolii if unstressed. Compare BTopOii, MOJJOJlOH with crapblii, KpacMBblii. Mixed stems ending in lU and )I( have the masculine and neuter endings -oii and -Oe if stressed, but -ttii and -ee if unstressed. Compare 6oJJblllOii, OOnbutOe with xOpOlllHii, xop6wee. Note that some adjectives function as nouns and that some surnames are adjectival in form; CTOJJOeall (for CToJloeasi .. 6MHan), aiuHu (for eaHHasI KO~HaTa), TOJJCToii, j(OCToeBCKHii. The sur name for Miss or Mrs. Tolstoy is TOJJCTaa and for Miss or Mrs. Dostoevsky, j(OCToeBCKlUiI. In the plural the Tolstoys are To.IICTWe and the Dostoevskys j(OCToeBCJ,."MC.

I1pb/.la>1 Prawla (Truth) and J'(3aecrn Izvestia (News) are the two largest Soviet newspapers; the first is the official party newspaper and the second is the official government newspaper. Each issue is usually made up of four pages, limited to national and international items of political significance. Note that J.hlSic'rsm is plural: >t no 'IJI'Ti;r d138kTJurx.

TOJlJI:Y'lKM are establishments where practically any secondhand item can be bought or sold. They are frowned on by the government and are frequently closed down or moved to the outskirts of town- to discourage people from patronizing them. KOMHCCM6ton.Ie MBnl3NuY are government-supported secondhand stores where people may buy and scU used things. A seller m~t wait to receive his money until the item bas actually been sold.
3

The Soviet government is now doing a little more advertising of commodities than it did before World War II, using radio, posters. and occasionally even neon signs. Announcements on radio and television tell what goods have come into the slate stores. In addition, bulletin boards have been installed in display windows; on these boards, individuals can post announcements of things for sale.
, (0r0HeK is a popular weekly illustrated magazine whose contents range

from articles on national and international themes to fiction, verse, art reproductions, and crossword puzzles.

cwA (Coe.lUfJleHHWe

people and [~a] by others. Some speakers say 06 cwA [abdka] and others o cwA [a.u3.]. Like CCCP this abbreviation is not declined: B cwA, B CCCP. The basic rule for abbreviations is that they are not declined unless they contain a medial vowel: compare 06 CCCP with 0 cYMe.
1 AMepKKb is an illustrated magazine with articles on life in the U.S.; it is printed in Russian and distributed in the Soviet Union by the U.S. Department of State. Soviet officials allow only a limited number to be sold, often returning large quantities to the American embassy, supposedly unsold. A very limited number of newsstands in the large cities are allowed to sell AMepllKs, and, when the word gets around that a new issue has arrived, friends of the clerks who distribute and sell it usually buy up the few available copies. Secondhand copies sell readily in used-book stores.

J The term poMliHc is derived from French; in Russian it describes a certain type of love lyric, set to music. Such well-known poets and composers as nYrnKHH and lfaHKOSCKHH have helped to create them. POMliHc also refers to popular gypsy songs lIbIJ'UCKHe poMliHcw., but is not used in the English sense of romance. The word for romance is poMliH (which also means novel [book]).

Russians are inclined to call any Western popular music ,roa.:b. Foreign music has a special appeal to Russians, especially to those of the younger generation, and they are willing to pay high black market prices for foreign records.

Second person imperatives are based on the present-future stem, which can best be found by dropping the endings -YT, -toT, -aT, and -fIT from the third person plural. The familiar-singular imperative ends in -II, -i, or -b; the plural-polite imperative is fonned by adding unstressed -Te to the basic familiar-singular fonn. Of the three variants, only -N is a true ending; -ii and -b are properly part of the stem itself: -ii is written to show that the stem ends in the consonant sound .Lil, and -b is written to show that the finaJ stem consonant is soft.

I. Imperatives in -ii. Most verbs with an imperative in -it have a vowel preceding the written ending of the present-future. Their true stems, however, end in (j), spelled i in the imperative.

However, if the stem ends in a cluster of consonants, an unstressed -. is added: 86MB-lIT, oOMHIO; the imperative is uOMHB, An unstressed -" may also occur in imperatives from perfective verbs which have the stressed prefix BY-: aWrollOpIIT, aWroaoPIO; the imperative is BWroaopil (like rollOpM except for the stress).

NOle on aspect: Although imperatives from both aspects may be used in affirmative commands, oaly imperfective imperatives are ordinarily used in negative commands.

SUMMARY OF RULES FOR FORMING THE BASIC"":' IMPERATIVE

1. If the present-future stem ends in the sound UJ, or (in spelling tenus) if the endings of the presentfuture are immediately preceded by a vowcl letler or b, the imperative is spelled with ii; lIohcynaii! (stem [p:lkupaj-]. first person singular DOKymito). Note that the stress occasionally shifts back to the stem (compare CT6ii! CToiiTe! with CTOW). Verbs like mfn.., with h directly before their present-future endings, have an inserted vowel in their stem; nei, Bhmeti (stem [gj-I, first person singular OhiO).

2. If the presentfuture stem ends in any otber consonant (but not a cluster), and if the stem is stressed in the first person singular, the imperative is spelled with -h, as in u6y.flh! (first person singular :sa6YAY). The -b must be written, even though the consonant is one that cannot be soft, as in nape-ACh!
3. If the presentfuture stem ends in a consonant cluster, even though the stress is on the stem in the first person singular present-future, the ending -It is added for the imperative, as in n6Mm1! (first person singular nOMHlo).

294

LESSON 13

4. If the present-future stem ends in a consonant and the first person singular ending is stressed, the imperative ending is -H, as in rOBOpH! (first person singular rOBopiO) and w! (first person singular HlIY).
5. Perfective verbs with tbe stressed prefix aW- form tbeir imperative in the same way as the imperative of tbe vcrb thcy derive from, for example, BWueii! (compare ueti!), BbaTOBOpR! (compare rOBOpli I). Bblpe;llCb! (compare pe:l>! cut! Hape:tl.! slicel).

I. The endings of adjectives modifying masculine and neuter nouns are distinct from each other only in the nominative and accusative singular; in all the otber cases, they sbare tbe same endings. 2. Only adjectives modifying feminine nouns have endings in the accusative singular which are always distinct from those used in the nominative singular: -ytO and -1010 (1I0Byto, JIPyryto, 6o.1lblUYJo.

Those adjectives modifying animate masculine nouDS in the accusative singuJar have the same endings as in tbe genitive singular. Note that r in the endings -oro and -ern is pronounced [v]. 4. In the plural, adjectives modifying inanimate nouns use nominative plural endings; those modifying animate nouns use genitive plural endings.

LESSON 13

DISCUSSION Possessive adjectives all belong to the soft declension, with endings in the oblique cases (genitive. prepositional, dative, and instrumental) like those of the soft-stem adjectives. Note thal, except for Ham and aam, which have their stress consistently on the stem, the possessive modifiers all have ending stress. The reflexive possessive ca6ii, awe, CBO'i, CaoH one's own declines exactly like MON and nOH. Rarely used in the nominative, it may substitute for Moii, TRoii, Ham, or Uw in those situations where subject and possessor are the same.

I gave you my briefcase. We're talking about our friend. You gave me your book. You gave me my book. It is only when the subject is in the third person that CRoii plays a distinctive role. It differs in meaning from ero, eti, and MX, the unchanging third person possessives.

2. A/Jernation of stems in the present-future of second conjugation verbs. Alternation of the final stem consonant occurs only in the first person singular. There are two types:

TYPf: I (Stems ending in C, 3, T,

.lJ.,

CT)

TYPE 2 (Stems ending in n, 6, B, ., M) Compare JlJ06HTh, JU0611T with l1tOO.rnb Compare octiBHTb, OCTUn with ocni.1lI0 Compare maTh, mJIT with Q1JIIQ Compare n03Hax6MHTh, n03Hax6MSlT with n03Hax6fl,vllo

3. The present-fwure stem versus the inFmitive-past stem. In second conjugation verbs the endings of the infinitive and past are consistently added to a form of the stem which ends in a vowel. This vowel is automatically dropped before the endings of the prescnt-future. INFINITIVE-PAST

1 Both )KapKHH and ropsioorii mean hOI, but ordinarily they are not interchangeable. In reference to weather, climate, and room temperature, only lfi"apKuii is used, for example, KaKOH )KapKHii .!I.eH.. 1 What a hot day! rOpK'IKH, on the otber hand, must be used in referring to objects or things that are hot, for example, "Opli'l8H BO,lJ,3 hot water.

Note that the genitive form JlHMOIIlI,lJ,8 is used herc. Nouns denoling divisible mailer are used in the genitive case to indicate a portion of the whole amount, i.e., some. For example, compare >1 BblUHJI M01l0K8 I drank some milk with ji BblllltJl MOJlOKO I drank up the milk, i.e., all the milk. The word JfHMOIUlll. is used by some Russians not only for lemonade, but for almost al)Y soft drink.

) In this conversation we find two more cxamples of past tense vcrbs in Russian, both perfective, where present tense constructions are used in English:

As used here, 6y~ is a snack bar or food countcr with very limited fare, mostly cold. Although Khrushchev prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages in snack bars, it is sometimes possible to obtain beer there. The word is also used to describe a cupboard or sideboard where dishes, utensils, table linens, snacks, and beverages arc kept.

NOTES
I

Chess has traditionally been a very popular game with Russians of all ages.

The Soviet government prides itself on having tbe best chess players in the world.

As a result of winning only second place at an internationaJ chess tournament, the government took measures to insure a crop of future champions by introducing a course in chess playing in Russian secondary schools.
l Notice that English often uses the present or even the pasl tense after when, whereas Russian more accurately uses the future:

npltxoJJkre

Come join us when you finish (or when you've finished-lit. when you 'shall have finished).

In impersonal constructions the dative case is used to identify the person affected or involved in the situation. Such dative constructions are especially common in conjunction with infinitives or shorl-form neuter adjectives ending in -0. in the past and future, the neuter verb forms 6bl.'l0 and 6j.1J.eT are used. They usuaUy precede the infinitive or short-fonn neuter adjective.

DISCUSSION

Thc perfective verb .win. has an irregular future whicb must be memorized: .wiM, A8lUL, .rtI:cr, AaJDiM, AaJUfTe, Aa$. Its imperative is .wUi! .wiiin! Its imperfective counterpart AWn. has a present tense based on the stem [daj-J: AaJO, Aaeuu., .Il.1Ie-r, 1I.1ItM, Alle-re. AIIKtT. The other forms of Aaa8n., including the past tense, infinitive, and imperative are based on lhe longer stem [dava-]: lI.ad.rl, lI.wn., .aaw. All verbs with infinitives ending in -ll8an. follow this same pattern, for example, Ilpo.ll.W..... to sell, Y3uaaan. to recognize, C03HaBaTL to realize.

Suggestions that include tbe speaker: part I-perfective verbs

DISCUSSION

. Most suggestions that include the speaker are expressed using the perfective form of the verb. The basic fonn is the subjectless first person pluml verb. In informal spoken Russian, however, AaBaN or .nUBaii:"re oflen precedes the first person plural form: .aUdH for addressing and .naeaiITe for addressing Obi. Use of JJ,uBaH or .nuBaiITe. only adds an informal lone, but makes the suggestion more tentative and open to discussion. It is some what comparable to English suggestions prefaced by: What [do Y01~J say we ... ? How about (us) ... ? Why d01l'1 we . .. ?

n:.

Compare nOCJlYwaeM IUIacTIhuCH. with

Let's ]jsten to records! What do you say we listen to records?

The unstressed suffix -Te may also be added to the first person plural form of a few verbs, mostly verbs of motion. It makes the suggestion more formal and polite. Let's go to the movies! or Shall we go to the movies '! Let's go OUI for some fresh air! or Shall we go out for some fresh air'!

Bbili.neMTe lIa cBc:1l1i BOWX.

The subjectless first person plural of a very few imperfective verbs may also be used in making suggestions: HlleM, eJJ,eM let's be on our way! let's go!

NOTES

1 KOJIX03 is derived from KOMeKTJUU'oe x03SiicTBo collective farm. The word


KOJIX03 has almost entirely rcplaced the old word .a.epeBKJI, in the sense of vi/Jage. Russian villages usually consist of one long street lined with wooden huts on both sides. Behind each hut is a small garden patch and, as a rule. a smaJl, log balhhouse.

LESSON 15

Exchange students in the U.S.S.R. can travel within a thirty-kilometer radius from the city where they live; to travel farther, they must apply for a special permit. It is unlikely that such a pennit would be granted to visit a collective fann.

The Zorky is a Gennanmade camera and is very popular in the U.S.S.R. In Russian 36p... " means sharp-sighted or vigilant. "

l Electric lights are usually not found in rural Russia. Note that the term ....aMetIHWii.literally stone, refers to all nonwooden buildings, Le., brick, stone, stucco, and so forth.

In some villages, two-family and multi-family houses have been erected under Khrushchev's program to modernize the villages.

rather than

, The noun uCpKOBL (I) church has a sort final ~tem consonant except in certain plural cases where a hard [v) occurs. Compare the nominative plural ItCpKBH [cerkyi] with the prepositional 0 ItqlKBix [acirkvax] and with the dative ttep08.\4 [cirh.im]. , Ce.'l6 is a large village. Characteristically it had a church in pre-Revolution times, but this is not necessarily true today.

DISCUSSION

Ha.no is an unchanging form used chiefly with infinitives to ex.press an urgent need to perform some activity. The dative which usually accompanies lla.nO focuses on the person for whom the action is necessary. In the past tense Ha.aO is followed by 6';1110; in the future by 6Y,ll,eT.
EMy lI:i.'1o 6blJlO nolin!: B roPOJI. EMy lIiJlO 6Y.lleT noliTlf B rOpo.'1.

He had (0 go downtown. He'U have to go downtown.

In colloquial Russian the infinitive is sometimes omilted. This is especially common with verbs of motion where (he destination is mentioned.

Mile HMO Ha nOliT)'. MHe lui.no 6buio Ha yp6K.

need (0 go to the post office. I had to go to class.

The combination He HiJIo is often used as a plea that the addressee no' do something. Infinitives used with He Hi.ao are always imperfective.

DISCUSSION

The third person plural verb without a subject is used when the aClion is attributed to an indefinite group. The speaker either does not know the source of the action or finds it convenient not to mention the source, for example, if it is attributed to officials in power. Such constructions may be rendered variously in English, for example, rOBOpH-r flley say, people say, if'S said. Such constructions are often used where English would use the passive voice.

NOTES
I "Iro :ITO, 'fT6 and even 'lef"O in a more colloquial style are often substituted for ltO"leMj why in spoken Russian. Stylistically this is something akin to the colloquial English how come: "Iro no aW ... Hi.... He 3ax01lKTe? How come you don't

drop in to see us?

66r God is one of the few Russian nouns with a vocative form: ooa;e! The expression liO",e MOii! is a stock phrase with its own special word order. It is not as strong as the English My God! but is rather like Good heavens! or My goodness! In Soviet publications. the word for God is written with a small initial letter.
2

The form neT, which functions as the genitive plural ofrolt"year with numbers and adverbs of quantity, is actually the genitive plural of nero summer. Compare oroffi rOA with Mllom ncr, wecmllAnaTb JleT. (Consider the poetic use of English summers as, for example, in "She was sixteen summers old.") The regular genitive plural form rOlloR is very rarely used. roJt also has alternate forms in the nominative plural: roJXbl and rOlla.
J

Although .lIYm3. literally means soul, it is often best translated as hearl, in the sense of empathy or sympathetic character. Note that the adjective oo~ is formed from 6e3 without and ,IQ'lUa.

DISCUSSION

1. K (1<0)

The preposition K always requires the dative. With motion verbs K must be used if the destination is a person. In this use it is the destinational opposite of the locationaJ preposition y.
rlle Bb! 6burH? - Y 6p:iTa. KYlia Bbf Hlle-re? - K fip.hy.

Where were you? At my brother's. Where are you going? To my brother's.

When the destination is a place or object, B or H:l plus the accusative is used if complete attainment of the goal is implied. However, K plus the dative may be used to describe movement toward the goal, i.e., Ijmited attainment of the goal.

I'll come toward (or by) the end of the montb. Toward morning it gets cold. rll get it done by Saturday. I'll get it done by Tuesday.

In conjunction with nouns describing activities, K is used in the sense of for. We're not prepared for the exam yet. What did you buy for dinner?

2. no no is a preposll..lQn used mostly with the dative; it has many meanings, for example, over, a/mIg (the surface of), 10 (various goals), on, in. via, by, according 10, apiece, per person. Some of these are illuslrated below.

DISCUSSION

ReOexive verbs are those ending in the particlc -01 or -Ch, with -CR occurring after conso'nants (including ii) and -Ch occurring after vowels. Many Russian verbs have both reflexive and nonreflexive forms. Some, like IlpaSHThcH, affl never used without the reflexive partjcle. Reflexive verbs cannot have an accusative direct object; from the historical standpoint, the direct object is the attached particle -CM or -Ch, which is derived from the reOexivc pronoun CM. However, the accusative may be used if preceded by a preposition: Oil pacccpluiJlCH na HHIlY He got mad at Nina. Most of the other cases may accompany rcOexive verbs, both with and without prepositions, for example:
O'N
OAT OAT INSTR

611 611

60HTCH HHIll"-. YlummieTcH HMlle. 06paTucb K OCMDOOY! XOTUTe II03l1aKOMliTbC" c "eli?

He's afraid of Nina. He's amazed at Nina. Consult Osipov! Want to meet her?

Note on pronunciation: Many Russian speakers do not pronounce the C of --eft or -Cb soft, despite its spelling. It should never be pronounced soft in the infinitive and third person forms where -l"b and -1' precede it. In this position it combines in a long, hard, unreleased [cl, which we indicate in the transcription by ftc]. Thus, for example, both the infinitive oepujThcH and the third person plural SCPHYTCH are pronounced exactly alike: [yirn(lt~].

DISCUSSION

The verb IIpaBHn~ (perfective 1I0IlPUHTLCSI) is best translated into English as to like, enjoy, care for. but is structurally closer to the English 10 appeal 10. Like lIy>eu, it is used in nominativedative constructions which appear backward to the English-speaking studcnt: Rbi Mill?: UpaBKTCCl.
I like you. (Lit. You appeal to me).

As compared with JUo6Kn. to /ike, 101le, be fond oj, HpaBIlTl.CM expresses a milder attitude on thc part of the speaker. HpaBHThC1l is more typical of situations describing one's immediate emotional reaction, whereas m06HTl. describes a more permanent emotional attitude on one's part. BAM

Nouns in the instrumental case


The instrumental case without a preposition designates the means by which some action is accomplished. It may specify the tool, instrument, conveyance, agency, or means used to effect the act; or it may indicate the manner in which the act was accomplished. Hape)f(h xne6 )TMM 1I0*OM.

I Russians use the word ae.. .e p to mean both evening and parly. In the latter sense. abrep refers to a formal or institutional evening gathering. For a private party, however, Be<repKtu.. . is more commonly used. The preposition sa (plus . prepositional or accusative) is used with both Bi<lep and BeotepKaKa in this sense:

The word ...etnix fiance, bridegroom-lo-be and neaecra fiancee, bride-lo-be have come back into official usage, following the return of the tradition of engagements in the U.S.S.R. In an effort to discourage church weddings, the Soviet government has been trying to make civil wedding ceremonies more attractive and has even established special ,lI,BOpubt C<taCTbR palaces of happiness, one in Moscow and one in Leningrad. The whole ceremony-champagne included-takes about five minutes. There is always a waiting line of young couples. many or whom have traveled great distances in order to be married there.
l The Russian language is rich in variants of names which reflect the attitude or relationship of the speaker to the pe~n named. Thus BIO."TOp may be called BKnI informally, BKn.K8 to show superiority or contempt, or BKTetlbK8 to show af rectionale regard. Similarly, HBU is called BUR, BUbK'a, or Balle-tKa; HH..Wlaa becomes KoJUl, K6.rJbK8. and K6.rJe"tKa (or KOneHbKa). Om.ra is informally called OJiH and affectionately OJte'tKa; Bepa is affectionately Bepo'lKa, but pejoratively BepKa; 60ptk is infonnally GOpR, pejoratively oopbKa, and affectionately 6Ope<fKa.

Many CTOn-nouns designating professions may apply to women as well as to men:

8 The term npeuoJ.1aBa:rem. is applied to instructors at the secondary or university level. The rank of IIPCIIO~aB:iTem. is used at the university level for an instructor without an advanced degree who teaches basic or introductory courses. The term y'lHTeJIb, on the other hand, is limited to the elcmentary and secondaryschool levels, or refers to a teacher who gives private lessons, for example, in music or dancing.

DISCUSSION

Whereas the nominative case is used in simple, definition statements in the presenl tense, the instrumental case is generally required in past or future definitions.

Compare with

On HH:lKeUcp. 6u 6blJl !1lVKeHepoM. OH cTaHeT Hl-OKeHcpoM. 6H X6'1eT 6biTh HIDKencpoM.

He's an engineer. He was an engineer. He'll become an engineer. He wants to be an engineer.

In such instances, the instrumental usually describes a situation which is impermanent-one that was or is to become. Note that one uses tbe nominative, however, if he views the situation described as pcnnanent. 6H 6bill aMepHK3Heu. He was an American.

3Ta )l(eHUll1Ua 6blJla MOR MaTb. That woman was my mother.

DISCUSSION

Many Russian adjectives function as nouns. This includes such names as TOJICToii.llocroeacm. 'LfaiilcoacKHii, MamcoscKHii, CTpasHHcKHii. All such names have 3 feminine fonn ending in -all and a plural fonn ending in -ble (oc -He): TOJlerall Miss or Mrs. Tolstoy, TO!lecbie the Tolstoys; )J.ocmeBcKall Miss or Mrs. Dostoevsky, ):(ocmeBCKHe the Dostoevskys. Those referring to pecsons may, but do not always, have feminine counterparts: pyccKHii Russian (man), pyCCKU RllSsinn (woman), 6onl>Hoiii sick man, patient, 60JtbHlilI sick woman, patient (0 The word pa60'IHii working man, laborer is used only in the masculine fonn and refers only to a man. Compare it with }"'CHblii, which in its masculine fonn may also refer to a woman: OHa OOn.LmOi y..eublii. Besides the adjectives which function as nouns, there are a number of pronouns, adjectival in fonn, which also function as nouns, for example, Ka;JD.lii everyone, BCliKHii anyone, He.coTopwe some (people), MHoroe much, MHOf'He many (people). The gender of such words is usually detennined by the noun omitted or understood, for example, CTOJIOIl8.t1 (cro.rt6eu KOMuan), KOMHCQIcHuu.li (ICOMHCMoHllLlii MaraJHH), OpOUlIloe (up6rn.;Joe
BpU.UI). Kiii~ii (ICUmwii 'feJIOeeK).

Some words referring to abstract concepts, however, are neuter and are not associated with any specific noun, for example, 1I0B0e that which is new, rJlaalloe the main thing, Hlrrepecuoe that which is interesting. Compare the neuter singular ~fIIoroe many things, a lot of things with the plural MIlne many people.

six borsch yet, still schi in the drawer some borsch pike The Russian 111 is a long, soft consonant pronounced somewhat like the shch in fresh cheese, spoken wilhout a break. It is always pronounced soft, even when it is fol1owed by a or y, wh.ich nonnally indicate that a hard consonant precedes. The symbol 10 (hard sign) has no sound value of its own. It is used between prefixes that end in a consonant and word roots beginning with e, g, 10, or e 10 indicate that these vowel leiters are pronounced with a preceding [j] (as in yes). The letter bl varies in pronunciation ranging from somelhing Like the vowel in bit to the i of machine. After lip consonants 6, 8; II, 41, and M, many speakers pronounce a w-like glide before bl so that it sounds somewhat Like the English we, except shorter. . The letter bl never appears in tbe initial position in a word. The symbol b (soft sign) has no sound value of its own. It serves to indicate the softness of a preceding consonant at the end of a word or immediately before another consonant letter. It also serves (like 1 to indicate that the soft-series vowel leiter wh.ieh follows IS pronounCed wilh a preceding [jj (as in yes). The letter 3 occurs mostly in words of foreign origin, usually in the initial position. When stressed it is pronounced like the e in Eric; when not stressed it is apt to be pronounced like the e in emote or the i in l1legal, although many speakers pronounce it as [e] wherever it occurs. The leiter 10, both when stressed and unstressed, is pronounced like the u in tunc after a consonant letter (wh.ieh is pronounced soft); it is pronounced like the u in union after a vowel letter, 10, or ... or when it is in the initial position . After a consonant the stressed letter II is pronounced somewhat like the a in far. in unstressed syllables JI is usually pronounced like H, except in certain grammatical endings where it sounds like thc a in English sofa. The consonant preceding a is always pronounced soft. When JI occurs in the initial position or foUowing a vowel, 10, or b, it has the same vocalic value as elsewhere, but is preceded by the oonsonant sound [j] (as in yes).
