Priviet!
Kak dila? Apa khabar? Aku agak sibuk sedikit sehingga tidak berkesempatan untuk mengemaskini jurnal Slavic (Russia) aku ini. Aku baru saja selesai menjalani ibadat berpuasa. Di sini, kami menggunakan kalendar lunar untuk menjalankan upacara jadi ia dijalankan berbeza sedikit dengan yang di Barat yang menggunakan kalendar solar.
Aku sudah terbebel banyak pula, mari mulakan pelajaran kita...
Меня зовут Наташа, а тебя?
Menya zovut Natascha, a tyebya?
Namaku Natascha, dan kamu?
Konsonan
Baru sahaja tadi kita pelajari tujuh konsonan dan lima vokal bahasa Russia iaitu:
Konsonan
- м m
- н n
- з z
- в v
- т t
- ш sch
- б b
- а a
- о o
- е ye
- у u
- я ya
We have to pay attention to the vowel 'o' since it has two types of pronunciation:
- Stressed for e.g зонт zont (umbrella).
- Unstressed for e.g зовут zovut (name).
When stressed, we'd pronounce it full just like in Spanish "o". While
unstressed, we'd pronounce it like the Americans pronouncing "o".
We could find both examples in the following word:
хорошо chorosho (good) which is pronounced like harascho.
I'm not sure about English in foreign lands or in Britain. I do not
speak British English but in Standard English and broken Spanish
(actually a Spanish creole). I'm familiar with both Standard American
English and Proper English. I might be wrong with the sound so the best
way is to seek help from Russian themselves to help us with the sound.
Practice
Say them aloud!
мо бо зо на ша та мя тя
шу шо бу бо му ме ту то
шум зов имя шува нет вот
I'd put up some more notes here after I practice this part for few days.
The plan mentions that we need a week to conclude the lessons for
alphabets. That's it for today I guess... Good luck!
