| Mooo! Moo! Hello, everybody! It’s me Katya. Welcome to our new topic, 10 animal sounds. Let’s see what kind of sounds I can do. Let’s begin, давай начнем (davay nachnem)! |
| 1. Коровы мычат. Му. (Karovy mychat. Mu.) “Cows moo. Moo.” |
| Could you hear the slight difference between English-speaking cows like moo and Russian-speaking cows like mу (mu)? Can you hear? It’s totally different so be careful. |
| 2. Кошки мяукают. Мяу. (Koshki myaukayut. Myau.) “Cats meow. Mew.” |
| Rrrr, rrrrrrr, rrrrrrr. Again, it’s just different language. I don’t think Russian cats can understand English-speaking cats. There’s no way, mяу (myau), so cute. |
| 3. Львы рычат. Ррр. (L'vy rychat. Rrr.) “Lions roar. Rawr.” |
| Rawr… rrr...rrrgh. I’m not very good at lion’s language. Rawr, rrr, rr... That sounds like a pirate now. |
| Big rawrrr! |
| Rawrrr...so yeah, the Russian “R”, this is a trick, you have to say like really strong, rrrr, rrrr, as much as you can. The English “R’ is very soft like it sounds like English-speaking lions, they’re a little bit like tired and lazy like, rrr, kind of. And the Russian ones like really going to eat you like rrrr…like come here. |
| 4. Овцы блеют. Ме. (Oftsy bleyut. Me.) “Sheeps baa. Baa.” |
| I mean you can hear that the Russian-speaking sheep, they’re more sophisticated like they sound more intellectual, no? Like mee...meeee…meee… instead of meee. I think there is a big difference. |
| 5. Петухи кукарекают. Кукареку. (Petukhi kukarekayut. Kukareku.) “Roosters crow. Cock-a-doodle-doo.” |
| Almost sounds like, “How are you? How are you?” no? I prefer the English version, Кукареку. (Kukarekayut.) “Cock-a-doodle-doo.”, doodle doo, dododododo, dododo, nice. |
| 6. Волки воют. Ууу. (Volki voyut. Uuu.) “Wolves howl. Woo.” |
| I love wolves. |
| 7. Пчелы жужжат. Жжж. (Pcholy zhuzzhat. Zhhhh.) “Bees buzz. Bzzz.” |
| I wonder which one are more annoying, жжж. (zhhhh) or bzzz, both are annoying. |
| 8. Свиньи хрюкают. Хрю-хрю. (Svin'i khryukayut. Khryu-khryu.) “Pigs snort. Oink.” |
| That’s a weird sound. |
| Oink, oink, oink is cute though you know, oink, oink, oink, oink. |
| Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink. |
| Oink, oink. |
| Oink, oink...oink, oink….Oink, oink….oink, oink. That’s so cute. I like cute piggies. |
| 9. Собаки лают. Гав-гав. (Sabaki layut. Gaf-gaf.) “Dogs bark. Woof-woof.” |
| Bow wow, bow wow wow, wow…bow wow...bow wow wow wow wow wow! |
| No it sounds like woof. |
| 10. Индюки кулдыкают. Бал-бал. (Indyuki kuldykayut. Bal-bal.) “Turkeys gobble. Gobble-gobble.” |
| I’m sure you can do much better than me. We’re getting close to the end of our 10 must-know animal sounds. Please, please comment so I can understand how you make the sounds like how does it sound when you say it. Russian animals, I mean they speak pretty hard language I mean, I don’t know. How about English-speaking animals? It’s amazing, how can we copy that? I don’t know. Today, I tried my best so stay with us, RussianPod101.com till the next video. Пока-пока! (Paka-paka!). |
