This week I thought it would be fun to not just learn this word isolated from other words or in such boring textbook contexts as \u00ab<\/strong>\u044f<\/strong>\u0443\u0447\u0443\u0441\u044c<\/strong>\u0432<\/strong>\u0443\u043d\u0438\u0432\u0435\u0440\u0441\u0438\u0442\u0435<\/span>\u0442\u0435<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> [I study at the university], but together with other words who share the same root. That’s right – I’m going to try to find as many words as I can that share a \u00ab<\/strong>\u043e<\/span><\/strong>\u0431\u0449\u0438\u0439<\/strong>\u043a\u043e<\/span>\u0440\u0435\u043d\u044c<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> with the verb \u00ab<\/strong>\u0443\u0447\u0438<\/span>\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong>. And there is only a very slight chance that I’ll find all of them, but hey, that’s where you enter into the picture!

I suppose it would take a long time to gather all these words related to each other together all in one place, just like it takes much effort to gather a family of humans together. But it sure is interesting, isn’t it? I always try and look for a familiar \u2018root’ in any new Russian word I meet, and if I find one, then, unless it is a really long and difficult words made out of 5 roots, I already have a hunch, and sometimes more than just a hunch, of what the meaning of the word is. My lesson to all is as follows – not too far from Lenin, I must admit – know your \u00ab\u0441\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043e\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430<\/span>\u043d\u0438\u0435\u00bb<\/a> <\/strong>[word construction]! If you know how to find the root in one word, you’ll be able to find it in any word. Trust me. Or don’t – see for yourself, that’s always better.<\/p>\n
