Lesson Transcript

Привет Всем. С Вами Светлана. Hi everybody! I’m Svetlana.
Welcome to RussianPod101.com’s Русский язык за три минуты. The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Russian.
In the last lesson, we learned the numbers from one to ten. Do you remember them? I’ll remind you:
один, два, три, четыре, пять, шесть, семь, восемь, девять, десять!!
And now let’s continue from eleven.
одиннадцать.
[slowly] одиннадцать.
Двенадцать.
[slowly] двенадцать.
Тринадцать.
[slowly] тринадцать.
Четырнадцать.
[slowly] четырнадцать.
пятнадцать.
[slowly] пятнадцать.
Шестнадцать.
[slowly] шестнадцать.
Семнадцать.
[slowly] семнадцать.
Восемнадцать.
[slowly] восемнадцать.
Девятнадцать.
[slowly] девятнадцать.
And finally we have:
Двадцать
[slowly] двадцать.
Okay, now repeat after me. I'll say the numbers and give you time to repeat each one.
одиннадцать
двенадцать
тринадцать
четырнадцать
пятнадцать
шестнадцать
семнадцать
восемнадцать
девятнадцать
двадцать
These numbers may seem harder to remember and pronounce than those in the previous lesson, but as you have probably noticed the endings are the same ~ надцать. The suffix дцать is the modified word for ten, десять - дцать. Counting from 15-19, you simply eliminate the letter Ь from the original word and add надцать. In the case of 14, you eliminate the letter E.
Let’s not stop at 20 - let’s learn how to count up to one hundred! First I'll give you the tens:
Тридцать
[slowly]
Сорок
[slowly]
Пятьдесят
[slowly]
Шестьдесят
[slowly]
Семьдесят
[slowly]
Восемьдесят
[slowly]
Девяносто
[slowly]
Сто
[slowly]
Remember I told you that the suffix дцать means “ten”? Well, we have another modification for ten. It is десят. It is almost the same as the original word for 10 - десять. In most cases, you simply add the number in front of it to multiply it by 10. Восемь, 8, plus десят, 10, is Восемьдесят, 80. Easy!
The word for hundred is also super easy. It is СТО. I don’t think you will have any problems with this one!
The last thing we’ll learn in this lesson is how to form compound numbers above twenty.
Just take the tens and simply add the numbers you learned in the previous lesson.
Let’s try it out.
How would you say “fifty-six” in Russian? Let’s take it step-by-step. "Fifty" is пятьдесят, and then add "six", шесть.
Пятьдесят шесть! It’s done! Very easy, right?
Let’s make another number, for instance, "twenty-three."
Take "twenty" двадцать, and add "three", три:
So we get Двадцать три!
See! After only two lessons, you are now able to count to one hundred in Russian!
In the next lesson we are going to put your number knowledge to use! Do think you can go shopping in Russia, now? If not, I'll be waiting for you in our next Russian in three minutes lesson.
пока пока!! до скорого!
