Indefinite expressions in Russian with кое-

What's a good way to express "I want to show/tell you something" – when you know what you're talking about, but the listener doesn't yet? Russian has a special element for that: кое-.

It may not be as common as indefinite expressions with -то or -нибудь, but it comes in handy for those situations, and also as a way to express some small, indefinite amount. In this video we'll cover the subtle distinction between кое- and -то with question words in Russian.

Great video, I'm 8 years into my studies at this point and yet I still find myself watching each of your vids as you have a very keen eye and ear for nuance in Russian. Keep up the good content ))

Brilliant educator. Not one teacher I've had (two of them were even natives) could clearly explain to me the difference between кое, -то and -нибудь. And you did it superbly! That applies for all your videos I've seen in the past as well but I'm especially happy that this one came up. Thank you for your wonderful, first-class content!

Upon expanding my knowledge about russian verbs and their vocabulary I've seen that just like for идти and ходить there exist some reoccurring prefixes for other verbs like говорить, вести, нести, хватить eccetera, though I'm not very sure about they're usage.. like in 2:15, when you used приготовить instead of just готовить, why? Awesome video by the way!

I had to cancel dinner and sleeping last night to view, digest, and attentively study your excellent videos. Well worth it. Thank you !
