In general this noun can be difficult to keep apart from another noun which is pronounced exactly the same but spelled differently: \u00ab\u0432\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0435<\/span>\u043d\u044c\u0435\u00bb<\/strong> [Sunday].

But the last day of the week (in Russia)<\/em> is spelled with the \u2018older\u2019 <\/em>orthographic ending for neuter nouns: \u00ab-\u044c\u0435\u00bb<\/strong>, thus replacing the \u00ab\u0438\u00bb<\/strong> with \u00ab\u044c\u00bb<\/strong> [a soft sign]. But there\u2019s really not much of a difference in pronuncing these two different ways of spelling (at least not when I\u2019m pronouncing them, but I could be wrong)<\/em>, so my best advice to you all is to simply either \u00ab\u043f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0440\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0437\u0430\u043f\u043e<\/span>\u043c\u043d\u0438\u0442\u044c\u00bb<\/strong> [pfv.<\/em> to try pfv.<\/em> to remember], \u00ab\u0438<\/span>\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043e\u043b\u0436\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c \u0434\u0435<\/span>\u043b\u0430\u0442\u044c \u043e\u0448\u0438<\/span>\u0431\u043a\u0438, \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0435<\/span>\u044f\u0441\u044c \u043d\u0430 \u043c\u0438\u043b\u043e\u0441\u0435<\/span>\u0440\u0434\u0438\u0435 \u0440\u0443<\/span>\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0445\u00bb <\/strong>[or impfv.<\/em> to continue impfv.<\/em> making mistakes, impfv.<\/em> hoping on the Russians\u2019 mercy].<\/p>\n

In Russia today everyone says to each other: \u00ab\u0425\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e<\/span>\u0441 \u0432\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0440\u0435<\/span>\u0441\u0435!\u00bb<\/strong> [Christ is risen!], and answer each other with: \u00ab\u0412\u043e\u0438<\/span>\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043d\u0443 \u0432\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0440\u0435<\/span>\u0441\u0435!\u00bb<\/strong> [In truth (He)<\/em> is risen!].

As you can see, in the past tense for the male form this verb loses its ending completely. If Jesus had been a girl, then this verb would have looked liked \u00ab\u0432\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0440\u0435<\/span>\u0441\u043b\u0430\u00bb <\/strong>[lit. (she has)<\/em> risen] in the saying above. If Jesus would\u2019ve have been resurrected together with a close friend, or just someone He met accidentally while in Hell, then it would have been necessary to use the plural form which is \u00ab\u0432\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0440\u0435<\/span>\u0441\u043b\u0438\u00bb<\/strong> [lit. (they have)<\/em> risen]. The perfect verb means that Jesus was resurrected only ONCE, and that He did receive a RESULT (as is how we usually tell when the perfect aspect should be put to use in Russian grammar)<\/em>. Had Jesus not been resurrected once, but TWICE \u2013 I know, this is \u00ab\u0431\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0445\u0443<\/span>\u043b\u044c\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u00bb<\/strong> [blasphemy], but since it is \u00ab\u0432 \u0446\u0435<\/span>\u043b\u044f\u0445 \u0433\u0440\u0430\u043c\u043c\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0438\u00bb<\/strong> [for grammar], I think \u00ab\u0411\u043e\u0433 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438<\/span>\u0442\u00bb<\/strong> [God will forgive], don\u2019t you? \u2013 then we would\u2019ve have had to make use of this verb in its imperfect aspect: \u00ab\u0432\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c\u00bb<\/strong> [to rise from the dead, come back to life; to regain one’s strength].
