The Russian word СВОЙ is one of the top 1000 words in Russian. In some cases it should be used instead of “my“, “your“, “his“, “her“, “its“, “their“. When exactly? You'll know after watching this video. #russian #russianlessons #russianpodcast #russiancases #learnrussian #russiangrammar #russianwith #russianwithalfia #alfia #russianverbsofmotion As I promised, get a list of popular set expressions with СВОЙ: он сам не свой - he is not himself; e.g. He behaves strangely. в своё время - when the time comes; at the right time; for ex: Ты узнаешь всё в своё время. умереть своей смертью - to die a natural death. он не в своём уме - he is not in his right mind; e.g. He is doing crazy things. он свой человек - he is quite at home; e.g. He is a person that we can trust. For ex: Не стесняйся, здесь все свои люди. You can find different forms of the word СВОЙ (declensions) here Feel free to download and use the table when necessary. How to work with my video lessons? At first watch it and repeat all Russian sentences out loud and record yourself to check your pronunciation. After watching put down all sentences you can remember. Watch the video again in 5-6 hours and correct the mistakes in your sentences if you have any. Do the homework that I usually give at the end of each lesson. Watch the video again in 2 days and make your own examples with the patterns used. If something is not 100% clear, don't hesitate to ask anything in the comments. Thank you for watching.
