\u0412\u0441\u0435\u043c \u0437\u0434\u0440\u0430<\/span>\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0439\u0442\u0435!<\/strong> [Hello all!] Today I am going to talk about crafts in Russian. \u042f \u043b\u044e\u0431\u043b\u044e<\/span> \u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c \u0438 \u043c\u0430<\/span>\u043c\u0430 \u043b\u044e<\/span>\u0431\u0438\u0442 \u0448\u0438\u0442\u044c<\/strong> [I love to knit and my mom loves to sew]. While at my university one day, I was walking with my Russian professor and he said \u041a\u0430\u043a\u043e<\/span>\u0439 \u043a\u0440\u0430\u0441\u0438<\/span>\u0432\u044b\u0439 \u0448\u0430\u0440\u0444, \u041d\u0430\u0442\u0430<\/span>\u0448\u0430<\/strong> [What a beautiful scarf, Natasha]. I thanked him and said \u042f \u0435\u0433\u043e<\/span> \u0441\u0430\u043c\u0430<\/span> \u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u043b\u0430<\/strong> [I knitted it myself]. In the photo: \u041a\u043e\u0433\u0434\u0430<\/span> \u044f \u0432\u044f\u0436\u0443<\/span>, \u0412\u043b\u0430\u0434\u0438<\/span>\u043c\u0438\u0440 \u0412\u043b\u0430\u0434\u0438\u043c\u0438<\/span>\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0447 \u0441\u043c\u043e<\/span>\u0442\u0440\u0438\u0442 \u043d\u0430 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u044f<\/span><\/strong> [As I knit, Vladimir Vladimir looks at me]. The funny thing is I did not intend for \u041f\u0443<\/span>\u0442\u0438\u043d<\/strong> [Putin] to be in the photo \u2013\u00a0it just kind of turned out that way since that book was in the background!<\/em><\/p>\n

In Russian, \u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c<\/strong> means “to knit” and conjugates like this: \u044f \u0432\u044f\u0436\u0443<\/span>, \u0442\u044b \u0432\u044f<\/span>\u0436\u0435\u0448\u044c, \u043e\u043d\/\u043e\u043d\u0430 \u0432\u044f<\/span>\u0436\u0435\u0442, \u043c\u044b \u0432\u044f<\/span>\u0437\u0436\u0435\u043c, \u0432\u044b \u0432\u044f<\/span>\u0436\u0435\u0442\u0435, \u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0432\u044f<\/span>\u0436\u0443\u0442<\/strong>. The past tense is \u043e\u043d \u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u043b, \u043e\u043d\u0430 \u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u043b\u0430, \u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u043b\u0438<\/strong>. The perfective is \u0441\u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c<\/strong> and has the same shift of \u0437<\/strong> to \u0436<\/strong> when it conjugates.<\/p>\n

To be able to knit, all you need is \u0441\u043f\u0438<\/span>\u0446\u044b \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u043d\u0438\u044f<\/strong> [knitting needles] and \u043f\u0440\u044f<\/span>\u0436\u0430<\/strong> [yarn]. With these, you will make \u043f\u0435<\/span>\u0442\u043b\u044f<\/strong> [a stitch] and after a while, you will have an entire garmet.<\/p>\n

\u041a\u043e\u0433\u0434\u0430<\/span> \u044f \u0431\u044b\u043b\u0430<\/span> \u0432 \u0448\u043a\u043e<\/span>\u043b\u0435<\/strong> [When I was in school], I did not know how to knit for a while. I first learned to crochet, which in Russian is \u0432\u044f\u0437\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c \u043a\u0440\u044e\u0447\u043a\u043e<\/span>\u043c<\/strong>. \u041f\u043e-\u043c\u043e<\/span>\u0435\u043c\u0443<\/strong> [In my opinion], this is a bit easier than knitting. There are many tutorials on the internet (\u043d\u0430 \u0440\u0443<\/span>\u0441\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043c \u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0430\u043d\u0433\u043b\u0438<\/span>\u0439\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043c<\/strong> [in Russian and in English]) if you are interested in learning.<\/p>\n

Sewing is different. You will need \u0448\u0432\u0435<\/span>\u0439\u043d\u0430\u044f \u043c\u0430\u0448\u0438<\/span>\u043d\u0430<\/strong> [a sewing machine], \u0442\u043a\u0430\u043d\u044c<\/strong> [fabric], \u043d\u0438<\/span>\u0442\u043a\u0438<\/strong> [thread], and \u0438\u0433\u043e<\/span>\u043b\u043a\u0430<\/strong> [a needle]. And the thread won’t just be loose, of course, but on a \u0448\u043f\u0443<\/span>\u043b\u044c\u043a\u0430<\/strong> [bobbin, spool]. I think sewing is a lot more difficult than knitting or crocheting. The verb “to sew” in Russian is \u0448\u0438\u0442\u044c<\/strong> and conjugates as follows: \u044f \u0448\u044c\u044e, \u0442\u044b \u0448\u044c\u0451\u0448\u044c, \u043e\u043d\/\u043e\u043d\u0430 \u0448\u044c\u0451\u0442, \u043c\u044b \u0448\u044c\u0451\u043c, \u0432\u044b \u0448\u044c\u0451\u0442\u0435, \u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0448\u044c\u044e\u0442<\/strong>. The past tense is regular: \u0448\u0438\u043b, \u0448\u0438<\/span>\u043b\u0430, \u0448\u0438<\/span>\u043b\u0438<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I have a funny story about \u043a\u043d\u0438<\/span>\u0433\u0438 \u043f\u043e \u0448\u0438\u0442\u044c\u044e<\/span><\/strong> [sewing books]. \u0412 \u041f\u0435\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0437\u0430\u0432\u043e<\/span>\u0434\u0441\u043a\u0435 \u043c\u0430<\/span>\u043c\u0430 \u043a\u0443\u043f\u0438<\/span>\u043b\u0430 \u043a\u043d\u0438<\/span>\u0433\u0443 \u043f\u043e \u0448\u0438\u0442\u044c\u044e<\/span> \u043d\u0430 \u0440\u0443<\/span>\u0441\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043c<\/strong> [In Petrozavodsk, my mom bought a sewing book in Russian]. \u041e\u043d\u0430<\/span> \u043d\u0430\u0437\u044b\u0432\u0430<\/span>\u0435\u0442\u0441\u044f \u00ab\u041f\u044d\u0447\u0432\u043e\u0440\u043a\u00bb<\/strong> [It is called “Patchwork”]. Unfortunately, she has never made anything from it since it is all in metric measurements (and her rulers are US customary units).<\/p>\n

What crafts do you like? Do you have craft stores where you live? And can you guess what I’m making in the photo accompanying this post?<\/em><\/p>\n

Russian learners: if you are so inclined, go on the internet and search for websites in Russian that sell products related to knitting, crocheting, or sewing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
