New to the channel. Its funny to see this video where he says just say "ЭTO" will be your best friend, now knowing in 2 years he puts out a video that says ..."STOP SAYING ЭTO for everything" hahaha

Nicely teaching both Russian and English in a single video

Thank you for making these videos, Fidor! You deserve much more attention that what you get because your videos are really really helpful!

You explained this much more simply than my textbook, and a huge part of that was that you actually explained it well.  This next part is just my opinion, but it makes sense to me.  The difference between "this" and "that" is one of proximity.  "This wall" would be the wall you're standing closest to, while "that wall" would be one of the other three.  The same thing applies to "these" and "those": "these children" would be the ones near you, and "those children" would be the bunch of kids over there.  And, thanks to you, I can finally correlate "this" with это, and I can also start using то, even though my textbook hasn't mentioned its existence yet.  You'll be getting my response to PF #16 in a day or so.

You said уши means ears. its interesting cause we have "Goosh" (Гуш - گوش) in persian and it ments ears. kind of similar to уши in russian

Good to focus on one thing at a time, like это. Then, repeat and practice. Thanks спасибо!!

thank you for the videos! an idea for you would be to use simple russian speech to talk about something, and maybe use 'props' to tell us about the nouns that we might not know without having to use english, or just give a mini-lesson on the new vocab beforehand. Normal courses have things like that but the dialogue is very stilted and unnatural. It would be nice to hear natural speech.

I see this words all the time now I understand them a lot better

[ckpemac]

Aw, he put 'its'' in the description, when he probably meant 'their'. I can see his logic, however. That's adorable.

This is how I understand Это

Это стена = This is a wall

Эта стена = This wall

Am I correct, or does эта fill both meanings?

[alantjost]

наушники “On the ears”. That makes sense!

Very interesting video. Keep up with the good work :) Btw, I have a question. I'm far from being an expert in Russian but don't you have a little accent when you say for instance дела, or эти? I feel like the way you pronounce the "де" аnd the "ти" is a little different from what I'm used to hear haha I was just wondering

[enavoid]

Apparently that's cognate with the spanish "esto" and "esta". Some accents even hide de S in pronunciation

[selahstrong]

These words are very old considering that the Sanskrit cognates are (etat = this) and (tat = that). Nearly the same. Tat tvam asi in Sanskrit would be Tot ты in Russian. No present of the verb to be in Russian right.
