You're an excellent teacher. You made this concept perfectly understandable in only 5 minutes.

[suchiplayz]

honestly, hands down the best video on aspects i have found so far.

The second timeline example, is really really helpful. That makes way more sense.

I've been following this channel for quite a while now and I have to say that the quality of your videos has improved by a huge amount over the years.

You've become more confident, the content of the videos is improving on a regular basis and also the technical aspects like lighting and visualisations have come a long way.

Congrats, Fedor. You're a great teacher and I am happy about the development your channel has undergone over the past few years.

Большое спасибо за твоя работа :)

Nicely done! Excellent explanation of aspects! I especially enjoyed your last instruction: “accept it”. That’s part of the joy of learning language - thinking differently.

I started studying Russian in 1980, and, over the years, I believe I’ve gained some insight into the difference between Russians and Americans (and other native English speakers). Maybe more importantly, being able to speak some Russian has generally helped Russians see me as a friend. In the Soviet days, I was often treated with suspicion the second Russians noticed my American accent. I QUICKLY understood their suspicion and did my best to show them that I was simply a Russian language student (which was VERY rare) and I just wanted to practice.

We can say when a certain action was in progress on the timeline, we use Imperfective Verb and when the action was over, we are to use Pefective form of Verb to tell its completion. Thanks. Very nice. You are really an excellent teacher.

This is our topic in class for this week

In my native language (spanish) you could use perfective to indicate that you read the harry potter books last year or anytime in the past, as it mainly cares about the fact that the action is completed, in the example you put about someone calling when you're reading then using imperfective makes sense, but mainly because you haven't finished reading when someone called you. so i don't know how different they work on both languages.

Your channel is awesome!! Great teaching.

[MysticWolf]

you are a master at explaining complex concepts in an understandable way

Another way of thinking about it is to think of the perfective aspect as being a specific moment in time, and the imperfective being more vague and general.

Спасибо Федору, очень полезное и проницательное объяснение 🙏🏻

[andrewveldkamp]

Thank you so much! This was perfectly timed for my stage in learning Russian!

[federz]

This makes perfect sense to me. Its like if we said “I read a book when you called”. Would sound very strange.

Я преподаю немецкий и говорю моим ученикам тоже самое о логики. Я пользуюсь словом "сдаться"

[жизненный_опыт]

Вы так эффективно объясняете понятия. Действительно великий учитель 😃

[timmytoowoke]

I didn’t even know this was a thing until you posted it

Aspects are always a slippery topic. I focus on result or activity. This helps when the sentence is negative: there was no action nor was it intended (imp) vs there was action but not the intended result (perf). Hope I have that right 😢
