Are you familiar with the peculiarities of pronunciation of sounds in Russian? Have you heard that depending on the stress, letters can be pronounced differently? Did you know that in place of the letter Я, we pronounce the sound [И]? Hello, everyone! That is Russian in 7 Minutes with Novamova My name is Lyudmila Today we will start to get acquainted with Russian phonetics in detail. The Russian alphabet has 33 letters 10 vowels, 21 (one) consonants and 2 letters do not denote sounds, these arre Ъ (hard sign) and Ь (soft sign). Today's theme will address the phonetic rules for three vowels: О, Е, Я In each word, in which there is at least one vowel, there is an accent. It's a direct influence on the phonetic organization of a particular word. For example, I'm sure that most of you have seen or heard "хорошо́" somewhere In that word, we have three letter "O's," but we pronounce it (ha-ra-sho) Why? Let's figure it out. Хо-ро-шо, has, as we see, three syllables, one should be the accent, and that's the third, last syllable. That's where the rule comes from: if the letter "O" in the word is stressed, it's pronounced "o." and if it is not stressed, it'll make the sound "a." I suggest we practice stressed and unstressed "O's" I'll say, and you try to repeat: «мно́го», «восто́к», «ко́мната», «зо́лото», «пода́рок», «коро́ткий», «норма́льно», «холо́дная пого́да». Okay, so rule number one: the letter "o" with an accent is pronounced "o" without an accent "a" Of course, you'll ask, how to know where the accent is? Good news: there's no rule in Russian for that In textbooks for beginners and sometimes basic levels, the accent is marked. But then it becomes superfluous because with language practice, a person automatically remembers accents of frequently used words Let's continue. Let's see how the word "phone" is spelled, and now let's hear how it is pronounced "tee-lee-phon." We'll take another example: we spell "derevo," we pronounce "deriva." In both words, we have three syllables. In the first "телефо́н," the last syllable is stressed, which means the "o" stays "o." The first two vowels "e" had no accent, but we don't hear the "e" sound, but the sound "и" in both syllables - «ти-ли-фон». It's not hard to infer a second rule: the vowel "e" without an accent is pronounced "ee" The second example "де́рево" The first syllable is stressed Let's hear one more time, how this word "де-ри-ва" is pronounced. We can hear the "e" in the stressed syllable in the second "и," in the last "a." It turns out that the vowel "e" when stressed is pronounced as an "e" And so, rule number 2: the stressed "e" remains an "e" the unstressed one turns into "и" Let's practice. just like with the first rule: «весна́», «о́сень», «семья́», «телеви́зор», «нельзя́», «ве́чером», «апельси́н», «ме́дленно». Finally we have arrived at the third rule We see the word "месяц", we hear "ме-сиц" We see "яблоко", we hear "я-бла-ка" The unstressed "я", just like the unstressed "e" is pronounced "и". In the word "ме́сяц", instead of the letter "я" we say and hear the sound "и! because the second syllable is unstressed "ме-сиц" But in the word "яблоко" we can clearly hear the sound "я", because the stress falls on the first syllable. Rule number 3: The stressed "я" remains "я", the unstressed one becomes "и". Let's practice. «лягу́шка», «мя́со», «рядово́й», «вы́яснить», «мяч», «ледяна́я вода́», «русский язык». We considered some basic phonetic peculiarities, namely, stressed and unstressed vowels O, E, I. For the remaining the vowels, stress doesn't play a big role.
