FORE WORD
^jUALIFIED Russian eachers are still scarce in
^-
England. Consequently not many evening
school classes in Russian are held for adults. More-
over, there are many who cannot attend what classes
tliere are, and would be glad to put in an hour or
two studying Russian when they have any spare
time. For such beginners this book is intended.
Many, though they can speak and write their own
language correctly, have never bothered to study
grammar : the grammatical notes given in this book
will make some of the rough places plain for them.
Students who know the grammar of their own or any
other language will be able to skip such notes.
Each lesson consists of the bare elements of
Russian grammar, of a selection of words in every-
day use, and of ample exercises made up of colloquial
sentences, and fmally of short reading extracts in
prose and verse. Such material would, in our
opinion, be sufficient for a student to prepare himself
for a more thorough study of the Russian language.
The exercises have been made long for the express
purpose of enabling the student to repeat the same
words and learn the use of grammatical rules until he
has acquired the habit of saying what he knows
fluently and correctly.
AT THE END OF THE BOOK IS A COMPLETE KEY
vi TEACH YOURSELF RUSSIAN
STUDENT IS ADVISED TO PREPARE THE EXERCISES,
FIRST USING THE KEY FREELY, SO S TO ARRIVE..AT
THE MEANING OF THE WORDS AND THE GRAMMATICAL
NOTES, NOT BY ROTE, BUT BY COMPARING EVERY
PECULIARITY OF THE RUSSIAN WITH HIS MOTHER
TONGUE. WHEN AN EXERCISE HAS BEEN FULLY
ASSIMILATED WITH THE HELP OF THE IvEY, IT CAN
BE DONE AGAIN INDEPENDENTLY OF THE IvEY, TO
MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE WORDS HAVE BEEN LEARNT,
TOGETHER WITH THEIR GRAMMATICAL RELATION IN
THE SENTENCES.
The material in the Key can, of course, be used
as additional exercises and worked so that the main
part of the book is turned into a Key.
The advantage of this book when used in evening
classes is that students missing lessons can easily
catch up by preparing the exercises and using the
Key, and this will prevent them frora dropping out
of their class.
The author wishes to express his thanks for the
valuable help given by his friends Walter
J.
Read,
F.I.L., and John O. Burtt, M.A.
INTRODUCTION
T the mere sight of Russian print an English
person is apt to exclaim :
"
How funny the
Russian letters look, rather like ours upside down."
This first impression of the Russian alphabet as
something peculiar and grotesque is followed as
likely as not by the request :
"
Say something in
Russian," and when I repeat a few verses of a Russian
pem, my English friends are often quite astonished
at the sounds, which seem to them completely
strange. Their usual comment when the perform-
ance ends is :
"
Good gracious 1 I could never learn
to speak Russian. It must be a fearfully difficult
language." Nevertheless, some of them, with
characteristic British determination, have taken up
Russian with enthusiasm as a fascinating hobby.
They have done so probably because it is the language
of a country which at the present time is stirring the
minds of men and women in ali walks of life, in
England and probably in the rest of the world. They
soon find out that Russian is no harder than any
other language commonly studied in this country.
True, it has its peculiarities for English students, just
as English has peculiarities for Russians, and the
grammar is rather more complicated than the
English. But it has one great advantage : Russian
words are comparatively easy to learn to pronounce
since the language is virtually phonetic, that is to
say, most of the letters can be pronounced in only
one wav. This means that although, in Er^glish, the
TEACH YOURSELF RUSSIAN
ieier "a" represents as many as seven differen
sounds,
"
e
"
and
"
i
"
six,
"
o
"
eight, and
"
u
"
seven, the corresponding letters in Russian stand, on
the whole, for only one sound each.
Every language presents some difficulties in
grammar and pronunciation which can only be
overcome by patient work and concentration, but
Russian makes no greater demand on the student in
this respect than French, Spanish or any other
European language.
Every year now one meets a growing number of
people who know one or more languages besides their
own, and this is also true of the English-speaking
nations, who are no worse linguists than the men and
women of other countries if they take up a foreign
language as a hobby and persist in their efforts to
master it. There is this further advantage in
Russian
:
it is amazingly uniform ; the same
language is spoken over the vast extent of the globe
where the flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics flies
;
and you will be understood
whether
you are speaking to a peasant or a University
professor. There are no dialects to bother you,
although, of course, there are parts of the Soviet
Union where Russian may be spoken rather differ-
ently, as, for instance, English is spoken differently
by a Londoner, a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman,
or natives of Yorkshire and Cornwali. In some parts
Russian is spoken with a slight drawl ; in others a
kind of sing-song is adopted ; some speak lightly,
others heavily, and so on ; but they ali speak the
SOM is
same Russian. Even the numerous peoples forming
Republics of their own, although they possess every
acility for cultivating their native languages, speak
Russian as well as their own tongue.
To sum up : the student may rest assured that
the pronunciation of Russian is simpler than it
appears and if ali the directions given in this book
are followed and the words carefully read aloud, a
reasonably high standard of pronunciation will soon
be achieved without the help of a tutor, and in a
short time the language will begin to sound quite
natural and harmonious.
Similarly, owing to the fact that Russian is a
phonetic language, you can easily write down any
word you know, for the spelling is very straight-
forward, particularly since the Soviet Educational
Authorities abolished redundant letters and generally
simplified the spelling and grammar. A student of
average intelligence, who is willing to attend and
persevere, can soon acquire a working knowledge of
the language.
After mastering the contents of this book you
should certainly be able to understand much of what
you hear and read and to express yourself on simple
topics. If, after making this start, you continue to
study and manage occasionally to meet Russian
people, or can spend a holiday in the Soviet Union,
you wiE eventually get a really useful knowledge of
Russian, which in the post-war world may well prove
of great cultural and commercial importance and
* TECH YOURSELF RUSSIAN
become as popular as the languages more generally
studied now.
Those who are learning the language in order to
understand scientific works will find that, like
English, it has adopted a vast number of words,
many derived from Greek and Latin and some from
other European languages. Quite a large proportion
of them have been taken from English,
especially
where they concern seamanship or mechanics. Those
who are studying it either for purely business
purposes, or with the desire to read Russian literature
s
or else with the intention of visiting the Soviet
Union, will find that the vocabulary is much less
rich than the English, which means that the student
has fewer words to learn.
Finally it should be borne in mind that Russian
belongs to a family of Slavonic
languages, the
members of which are closely related to each ther,
and, once you are familiar with it, you will find littfc
difnculty in learning one or more of the sistet
languages, if you care to try them, namely, Polish
Bulgarian, Serbian and Czech.

THE RUSSIAN ALPHABET
The Russian alphabet contains 32 letters. These are given
below in their correct order, which you should learn as you will
soon be looking up words in a dictionary :
nu, k K t
ji
j
Tt, Yy
s
4>
MCvk,
llbl, bb, 3
Of the 32 letters in the alphabet nine are called vowels. A vowel
sound is one produced by the voice only. There are in Russian
hard and sot vowels. Each hard vowel has its corresponding
sot vowel.
/ ...
i4ii
Hard vowels are: a, 3, 0, fel,
y J
Sot vowels are : 51, 6, , H, K> ] & M- A-0 A, ,
.AM'
One letter H is called a semi-vowel
The hard and soft signs t and h are called mutes.
The remaining 20 letters are called
"
consonants/' that is to say,
their sounds are produced not merely by the voice but also by
movements o the tongue, teeth or lips.
The letters can be conveniently divided nto four gioups :
GROUP 1.Those alike in Russian and English. There are sx

of these :
A a, Ee, O o, K k, M m, T t.
(1)
A a is always pronounced in Russian like the long
"
a
"
in
English, as in the word RATHER.
(2)
E e is pronounced like
"
ye
"
in the English word YET, for
instance JXQJ10 (yelobusiness) ; but when it has two dots over
it, it is pronounced like
"
yo
"
in the English YONDER. For
instance Mn (myo
-honey).
(3)
is pronounced like the English
"
o
"
in the word ON.
(4)
K K is pronounced like the
"
c
"
and
"
k
"
in the word CAKE.
(5)
M M is pronounced like
S
m
"
in the word MANY.
(6)
T T is pronounced like
"
t
"
in the word TAKE.
GROUP 2.letters which look like English letters but represeis!
different sounds in Russian. There are six of these :
Bb, H h, Pp, Ce,

1. BB serves to denote the English sound
2. H H
5. y

6. X x

GROUP 4 contains the remaining letters: fcl, "h, t>, H, which
reejaire some special remarks. In the alphabet on page 1 you wili
have seen that they are shwn as small letters only. This is because
they are never used at the beginning of a word but only in the middle
r at the end.
THE RUSSIAN ALPHABET
W%#*
B~and &
are entirely mute signs and they do ao express any
und at ali. They are used as auxiliary signs or the following
purposes :
b serves to giv a sft intoaation to the consonant at@r which. it
stands. You may see h in the middle of the word or at its end.
The sotening effect of the b on the consonant can be achieved
-zte well by sounding it as an exceedingly short, fleeting K, thus
palatalising the consonant, or uttering it by placing your tongu
against the palate. Pronounce the words :
IIHCbMO
(pissymo) ; CTajIfa (staly), with a very short English

y.
Particular attention must be paid to the presence of b, at the
end of the word since there are pairs of words whose meaning differs
when they end in fc> or have no h at the end. For instance yrOJIb
means COAL
; yrOJI means CORNER ; paT, BROTHER
;
paTb TO TAKE, etc.
"b is not used now at ali at the end of a word, though you wil
find it requently in books printed before the date o the Soviet
Revolution.
But b is still used sometimes in the middle of compound words
like : ObHCHeHHe, n0flbe3fl, etc., where the second part of
the word begins with 51, IO or e, to show that both parts
06b-5ICHeHHe, nonb-e3H must be pronounced quite distinctly,
as, for instance, you say in Englishcom-memorate.
bl is a hardH sound for which there is no special English letter.
It is the English sound in KILL or WRIT or BIT or SIN, pro-
nounced shortly with the teeth almost closed.
H is used only in the middle and at the end of a word. It
always follows a vowel, and is pronounced very short like the
second vowel of the diphthongs : IE in PIE, OY in BOY, AY in
GAY, EY in KEY.
There is no letter
"
H
"
in Russian ; words which begin in English
with the letter
"
H
"
begin in Russian with r instead. For in-
stance, the word HAVANA is wrilten TaBaHa ; the word
HAMBUKG TaMypr; HYPNOSIS, rHIIHOS ; HYMN, FHMH,
and HYDRA, THUpa.
The English sound expressed by the letter
"
W
"
does not exist
tn Russian. Instead, the letter B is used and it sounds like th
English V.

TEACH YOURSELF RUSSiAN
There were formerly four additional letters which were rejected
as superfluous at the time of the Revolution. However, you may
come across boks printeci in the pre-revolutionary period and we
are therefore giving the rejected letters together with those by
which they have been replaced. They are :
I=Hh; 09 = O^); t>t = Ee

V
= h
The first thing to do is to make yourself familiar with the Russian
characters ; and if these printed directions do not enable you to
grasp the pronunciation of ali the sounds, try to get half an hour's
help from a Russian or someone who really knows the language.
This, followed by a little practice, should give you a good idea of the
pronunciation. You will also find gramophone records of the
Russian sounds extremely useful.
The alphabet must be thoroughly mastered so that you can read
words correctly and easily. To learn the letters, practise copying
them in their printed orm, at the same time repeating to your-
self the different sounds they represent.
Russian has its own handwriting but for the present we shall
tonfine ourselves to the printed alphabet until you are quite familiar
with it.
In ali words of more than one syllable, both in English and Rua
sian, one syllable is pronounced with more emphasis than the others
(For instance, in the English word
"
only
"
the first syllable has
more emphasis than the second, whereas in the word
"
again
"
the
second syllable is stressed.) There is no rule enabling you to tell
on which syllable the emphasis is to be laid in a Russian word, and
this knowledge can only be acquired by practice and habit. In
this book, the emphasised syllable will be indicated by an accent
;
for instance, TJIbKO only ; OnHTt. again, but in ordinary Russian
print no accents are given. It is no use your memoiising words
unless you take care to learn both the pronunciation and the stress
correctly ; but provided you do this, the more Rus ian words you
learn the better. To be master of a language you must learn the
grammar, but even disjointed words will often serve to convey
your meaning ; and if you concentrate from the outset. on building
up a large vocabulary, it will serve you in good stead when your
knowledge of grammar becomes more complete.
The following reading exercises are intended to give you practice
in Russian sounds. The words have been carefully chosen and, as
you will see, they become longer as you proceed. Som of them
READING EXERCISE5 5
closely resemble the English, and Exercise 3 contains a lst of geo-
graphical names, most o which can be easily recognised.
It is not necessary to work right through the reading exercises
before turning to Lesson 1, but if you omit any part of them now
you should return to it later and not consider that you can read
properly until you can pronounce ali the words and phrases given
there without difficulty.
Each section should be gone over several times and each different
sound carefully studied and practised. Try to enunciate the words
clearly making full use of your tongue and lips. Particular attention
should be paid to the following sounds :
>k, h, iii, in, n, hi, v, oh, nPi, ePi, h, h, y, kdh.
Notice that in the combinations bie, He, 06 the vowels are
sounded quite separately (H-e ; H-e ; 0-).

THE RUSS1AN ALPHABET
We shall now give you the Russiau alphabet as it is written :-
s j . s* x/asa
Cc,m<m,
%j,Jfj
JC^
%*t.
U^k
To learn the written alphabet, it is simplest to take the letters
in two groups. The first group contains those which, in the small
form-at least, are common to the Russian and English aiphabets.
There are fifteen o these. The second group consista of those signs
which are peculiar to Russian.
*. ^ytcU; dj^ -Ge, Jj
r
$^
f
J?c <J{~u,
Note that some people write^- as & ; /Z- as
.s0
, and
'/Jâs / . (Be careul to form the short tails of;
and
i correctly, so as to distinguish between 04vn.. /
notice that theH&^has three distinct strokes, unlike the English
'W).
In order to familiarise yourself with this writing. first copy out
the whole alphabet several times, then practise writing the individual
letters in -any order until you can write them ali, both capital and
small. clearly and rapidly.
The following lines will show you how letters are joined to each
other in Russian writing :

LESSON 1
NOUNS
Genders
Having leamed to read and write, you can now begin. to leara
some words. The vocabulary of the First Lesson consists solely
o nouns, that is to say, names of persons or things of any kind.
There is no equivalent in Russian for the English words a, an, as
the. Therefore, to take ooly one example, CT0J1 can mean either
table, a able, or the table, according to the sense.
AH the nouns in Russian are divided into three groups called
genders : masculine, feminine, or neuter ; and whea a noun is used
in speech or writing, its gender must be taken into account. The
importance o this point will be seen more clearly later.
With the names o iiving things it is generally easy to determine
the gender. Thus MaTpC, sailot ; HHflH, uncle, are naturally
masculine
;
and njieMHHHHUa, mece ; X03^HKa, hostess, feminine':
whereas some nouns KajlKa, cripple, CKpra, miser and CHpOT,
orphan, can be either masculine or feminine ; but with the great
majority of nouns the gender cannot be determined from the meaning.
Thus
fleHL, day, is masculine, HOHb, night, is feminine, and yTpO,
moming, is neuter
However, in such cases there is a clue to the gender. and it iies
in the ending of the word. The gender of a word can be determined
from the ending as follows :
1. Of masculina gender are words
:
(a) ending in a consonant, for instance : CTOJI, table,
and
(b) ending in H, for instance : HHH tea.
2. Of the feminine gender are words ending in a, 51, b, for instance :
JlMna, iamp, flHH, melon, TeHb, skadow.
3. Of the neuter genaer, words ending in or e, for instance
OKH, window, nJie, field.
There are, however, some exceptions to the above rules. Thus a
few words ending in h are masculine and a ew in M5I neuter. The
gender o such words will be shown as we come across them foy the
letters (m), (f), or (n) placed after them.
A notra denoting a single perscm or thing is said to be in th singular
aamber, for instance : KYLT3., book ; CeCTp, siser. noun de-
noting more than one person or thing is said to be in the plural.
The method of frming the plural in Russian will be shown later.

xercise
Copy ali the nouns given in the vocabulary and define their
gender by their meaning or endings, putting after each word (M.)
for masculine, (F.) for feminine, and (N.) for neuter, and then
compare your exercise with the answers given on page 213 of the
Key.
As has been implied already, you must not allow the study of
Russian to become a kind of self-imposed penance and it is there-
fore important not to put in such long spells on grammar and
vocabulary that the work becomes tedious. Be patient and take it
easy Try to treat the study of Russian &s a recreation, like a.ny
other pleasant hobby. For instance, if you want to learn words,
copy some on a strip of paper the size of a visiting card, slip it in
your waistcoat pocket or your handbag, as the case may be, and
then at odd moments during the day, at lunch, or in the train, say
some words over to yourself in a whisper or even aloud if you can
manage it. The more words you learn in this way the sooner you
will be able to understand a Russian letter or newspaper article, os
to say something in the language yourself.
While you are dong this spade work, do not be too worried if the
li
TECH YOURSELF RUSSI
pronunciation and grammar of what you say or write are not iia-
peccably correct. With time, the ease with which you will memo-
rise words and notice the grammatically correci way of saying
sentences will grow, and by the time you have worked through this
book thoroughly, you will be ready to converse in Russian, and to
understand Russian films and books.
Whenever you have an opportunity o saying a ew sentences or
writing a short note in Russian, even while your stock of words and
knowledge of grammar are still poor, say the sentence, or write a
note to someone who knows Russian, and ask your riend to correct
what you cave said or written. Don't wait for perection before
you begin to use the language.
One further point. Try to form a small group for the study of
Russian, or find a companion. You will get oa far more easily
and quickly if you are working with other people, since the language
becomes more alive for you and you can begin to practise it directly.
Use the Russian you learn. Say
SRpBCTByHTe ? how do you
do
? and CIiaCHO, thank you, wkea you have a chance to do so
and you will ind that they remain in your ruind ali the better
for it.

on page 213.
LESSON 3
ADJECTIVES
Nouns are often accompanied by other words which describe thern.
For instance, in the phrases good boy, new ring, cloudy night, the
words good, new, and cloudy are used to show the qualities applied
to the nouns boy, ring, and night. The words which describe nouns
are in grammar called adjectives.
In Englsh it is possible to use one noun to describe another, as
in the phrases : winter night and iron ring, where winter and iron,
which are themselves nouns, are used as adjectives to describe the
other nouns night and ring. In Russian one noun cannot be used
to describe another. It must first be transformed into an ordinary
adjective by a change in ending. Thus in Russian winter is SHM
night HOHL, iron HCJlsO and ring KOJIbLIO, but you cannot
put these words together, as you can in English, to mean winter
night and iron ring. Instead you must say
3HMHHH HOHfc. and
}K6Jl3HOe KOJIbLO.
Adjectives in English are not changed when applied to nouns of
different genders. You say : a good father, a good mother, a good
chila
; good is the same in ali these instances. This is not so with
the Russian adjectives. Their endings change according to the
gender o the noun which they are describing and correct speech
demands that this rule shall be strictly observed. That is why,
when we spoke of the division of the nouns into three gender-groups,
we said that the gender of every noun must be learned. Adjectives
which are applied to masculine nouns end in HH, HH or OH ;
those applied to feminine nouns in a5 , or 919L , and those applied
to neuter nouns in oe or ee . We therefore say : JIpblH OTl
good father
; HpaH MaTb, good mother;
fpoe flHTH
good chila; CHHHH KapaHHlU, blue pendi;
CHHHH JlfTaj
blue ribbon; CHHee HO, blue sky ; 0J1L.IIIH HOM, big
kouse; OJIfclIlH KOMHaTE, big room
; OJlfelUe OKH,
big wiiriow.

iostead o nouns for the sake of brevity and in order to avod re-

Bu, BaiII.
Buia, BlUe are
generally used between
acquaintances and strangers.
Bbl Bani

tmguish the singular form from the plural form. For instance

>i npomy Bac, / request you (one person)

(several persons).

pre-revolutionary
days when
addressing those who were considered as inferior in the social scale
Of course, nowadays no such distinction exists,

His is expressed by er, her or hers, e, its, er, their or theirs
HX, which in fact mean : of htm,

LESSON 5
DECLENSION OF NOUNS, ADJECTIVES AND PRONOUNS
In the next few lessons we shall extend our study of nouns, adjec-
tives and pronouns so as to become familiar with the changes which
they undergo in speech and writing. This is one of the most impor-
tant sections of Russian grammar and the knowledge of the endings
will do much to give us a proper understanding of the language.
Nouns may serve various purposes in a sentence. For example.
let us take the word sister in the following four sentences :
My sister is clever . . .
.
Nominative Case
I praise my sister .
.
,
Accusative
This is my sister's book .
.
Genitive
tl
I give the book to my sister .
.
Dative
In the first of these my sister is the subject of the sentence, in the

second the direct object. In the third the noun sister is shown as
the possessor of the "book" and in the fourth my sister is the
indirect object.
In Russian a noun undergoes changes in its ending according
to the part it plays in a sentence. The changes are called
DECLENSIONS. The different forms are known as cases. Thus
when a noun stands as the subject of a sentence it appears in the
NOMINATIVE case, the ordinary form in which you leara it:
CeCTp, sister. When it is the direct object, it is in the
ACCUSATIVE case: ceCTpy, sister. The possessive form is
called the GENITIVE case: CeCTp, of the sister, and for the
indirect object the DATIVE case is used : ceCTp, to the sister.
So you see that when in English you use sister' s, or
of the sister, or
to the sister, in Russian you have to change the ending as there are
no equivalents in Russian similar to the English
of and to. Tf:e
son's book, KHHTa CHHa ; the roof of the house,
KpHIIia flMa ;
greetings to your sister! npHBT CeCTp !
Adjectives and pronouns are also declined and have their own
endings in the four cases that have been mentioned. They must
agree with the noun to which they refer in gender and number as
well as in case. Therefore, to return to the four sentences, my sister
will be in the first sentence : MO CeCTp, in the second, MOIO
CeCTpy, in the third MO CeCTpH, and in the fourth MO.
CeCTp. Similarly, f in these sentences we had my elder siste?
instead of my sister, we shouid have respectvely : MOH CTpniafl

At present we shall confine ourselves solely to the declension
o nouns. Mention has been made so far of four cases :
Nominative (Subject) CeCTp sister, the sister, a sister.

Accusative (Direct Object) ceCTpy sister, the sister, a sister.
Genitive (Possessive) CeCTpt of the sister, of a sister, sister's.
Dative (Indirect Object) CCTp to the sister, to a, sister.
It will help you to detect the case of the noun and of words
relating to it in a sentence if you remember that each case answers
one of the following questions :
Nom. : Who ? (KTO ?) CeCTp

', or what? (HTO ?) CTOJI, OKH.
Acc. : Whom? (KOT ?) CeCTpy; what? (HTO ?) CTOJI, OKH.
Whose? (KOT ?) CeCTpLI ; ofwhat? (Her ?) CTOJl, OKH
To whom? (KOMy ?) CeCTp ', os to what? (HeMy ?) CTOJiy^
OKHy.
There are two more cases called
"
Instrumental " and
,a
Pre-
positional," which will be introduced later.
We shall begin with the Genitive case, and the following three
lessons, Nos. 5, 6 and 7, will give you practice in the use of it.
Genitive of Masculine Nouns
As has been said before, masculine nouns end in the Nominative
case in a consonant, H or h. The Genitive case of those ending
in a consonant is formed by adding a to the Nominative, e.g.,
MjlbHHK, boy, MaJILHHKa, of a boy. The Genitive of those
ending in H or b is formed by substituting 51 for H or h, e.g.,
repoi, hero, repfl, of a hevo
; nHCieJIB writer,
IIHCTejlI,
of a writer.
You will notice that in the following Vocabulary the Genitive
of some words is shown after them. This is because the Genitive
case of these nouns is irregular : either it has lost a vowel which
was present in the^ Nominative, e.g., OTl from OTei, or it has
received an extra syllable like BpMeHH from BpMH. In future
every irregular Genitive will be shown, because other cases of the
TEACH YOURSELF RUSS1N
noun are formed from the Genitive, but the ending of the Genitiv
is dropped when forming the other cases, for instance : Nom.
OTl; Geri. and Accus. OTU-;
Dat. OTLy. Nom. Bpl
Accus. BpMH; Gen. and Dat. BpM-eHH.

LESSON 6
Genitive of Feminina Nouns
Feminine nouns, as you have learned already, end in the Nomina-
tive case in a , Horb. The Genitive of those ending in a is formed
by changing a to LI , as for example
KMHaTa , room
; KMHaTLI
,
of a room. li, however, the a of the Nominative has been taken
away so that the word ends with r, K, X, >K, H, III or
m
the
Genitive will end in H instead of BI . The reason for this is that LI
can never stand immediately after any of the seven letters just
mentioned. Nouns whose Nominative ends in 51 or L change that
ending into H in the Genitive, e.g.,
RejxjlH , week
; HefJIH, of
aweek;
flBep b ,
door ; flBpH , of a door.

OKH, window;
OKH, of the window ; nJie, field; nJIH
of the field. Nouns ending in M5I replace MH by eHH ; BpMH,
time;

LESSON 8.
Dative of Masculine, Feminine and Neuter Nouns
You have seen in the preceding exercises how the endings of
nouns of various genders are changed when you wish to express in
Russian what is expressed in English by means of the word
"
of."
In other words, you have declined nouns of the three genders in
the Genitive case.
Now note the changes the nouns undergo when you wish to ex-
press in Russian the relation existing between words in a sentence
denoted in English by the word to.
Masculine nouns ending in a consonant and neuter nouns ending
in O take
y
in the Dative case : MjlBHHK, boy;
MjILHHK-y
,
to the boy; uO , sky ; n6-y, to the sky. Masculine nouns
ending in Vi or h and neuter nouns in e take K) :
Hem-K), to the iler ; yHHTeJI->
?
teacher
,
theteacher;
nJie
,
field ; nJI-O , to the field.
Feminine nouns ending in or H take e :
CCTp-, to the sister; CTTyH , statue ;
statue. Nouns ending in h and in fl if tf is preceded by H take
TlUlfb, horse;

LESSON 9.
VERBS
The remaining cases of nouns will be dealt with later. complete
sentence must contain a verb. Verbs are words which describe
actions, e.g., to read, to sing, or states, e.g., to stay, to sleep, and
in Russian, as in English, the verb takes various forms to show
whether the action is present, past, future, etc. For example, ia
LESSON 9
fce
d
English from the verb, to write, you have : writes, wrote, written,
will write, would write, and so cm. To write, nHCTb, is the
Infinitive form, which denotes the narne of the action or state, and
in this form the Russian verb will always appear in the vocabulary.
Verbs are either regular or irregular. A regular verb is one which
is conjugated regularly, that is to say, its different parts modify
their endings according to models given below. Verbs which do
not always follow the general rules are called Irregular.
Regular verbs in Russian end, in the Infinitive mood, either
in aTb, HTb, eTL or HTb, for example, HHTTb, to read
;
ryjIHTL, to walk ; HMTb, to have; TOBOpHTb, to speak.
Full tables showing their conjugations will be given later. These
may be used for reference at first, but should eventually be memorised.
Before dealing with regular verbs we shall learn the conjugation
of an irregular verb that is very common : to be, bITb. The
Infinitive of a Russian verb is not preceded by the word to.
BbITb means to be, to be present, to be situated. It is also used
as an auxiliary verb. In English there are two auxiliary verbs :
to be and to have. Auxiliary means
"
helping
"
and these two verbs
are so called because they sometimes help to conjugate another verb,
as for example in it is written where is written is the past tense
of the verb to write ; or he has read where has read is the past tense
of the verb to read. In Russian only the verb to be, bITb, is used
as an auxiliary. The verb to have is never used in Russian as an
auxiliary.
1. The Present Tense of the verb to be is not used and, as we
have mentioned already in Lesson 4, it is usual to omit it where in
an English sentence you would use the words am, is or are. Example :
OH-VHeHHK, he is a pupil ; Mbl-COCflH, we are neighbours
;
KTO BH ? who are you?; 3T0T JIOM MOH , this house 'is mine.
The only form used in certain expressions is eCTb, where it means
here is.
2. The Past Tense.
51 blJI (masc), bUl (fem.), 2"
was.
Tbl blJI (masc), 6bIJl (fem.), thou wast.
OH bIJI, he was; OH blJl, she was; OH blJlO, it
was; MH
S
BH , OHH, HJIH, we, you, they were
(for ali genders).

4. Conditional (or Subjunctive) Moo. The Conditional Mood is
formed by adding the word 6bl to the past. Consequently I would be
in Russian is 9l HJl H where a man is speaking,
fl 6bIJl 6bl
where a woman is speaking. It would be is OH bIJIO 6fel and
we should be MH 6bIJIH 6b. You or they would be Bbl, OHH
blJIH 6fel for ali genders.
5. Imperative Moo.

ByjieM. Letusbel
yflbTe Be / (ye)
FlyCTb OHH
yflyT Let them bei
The negative form is expressed by placing the word HO before
the verb. Since in Russian the verb to be is not used in the present
tense, Si He 3fleCfe must be transiated : I am not here
; TH HG
TpyC, thou artnot a coivard ; OH He MjTbHHK, he is not a boy
;
KHHra He HBafl, the book is not new ; MH He flTH we are
not chilren; Bbl H6 ropflb, you are not prou
; fl He 6bIJI
HMa , I was not at home.
The interrogative form is expressed by putting the verb before
the subject as in English when a question is asked.
For example:
OTu 6bIJI flMa, father was at home;
6hlJl
OTu. flMa ? was father at home ?
The same sense can be given by raising the voice at the chiei
word in the sentence to which the question refers. For instance :
OTu HOMa ? is father at home ? ; OTu flMa ? is father at home ?
;
Hn OTei fl Ma ? was father at home. ?
A question may also be expressed by placing the word
JIH
which is about the equivalent to the English whether, just behind
the word one wishes to stress in the interrogative
sentence:
HMa-JIH OTu. ? is the father at home?
; OTu-JIH flMa ? is the
father at home ?; 6&IJI-JIH OTq flMa ? was the father at home ?
When, however, a sentence begins with a word which in itself
amplies a question KTO , who ? or HTO , what ? or
Tfle , where ? or
-O-rn ? when ? etc, the subject generally remaras before the verb
LESSON 9
and the verb is not ollowed by the particle 37 H . Examples:
rf
BH HJIH ? where were you ? ; KTO bIJI 3fleCb ? who was here ?;
KOTSa Bbl yfleT HOMa ? when will you be at home?
Besides the verb bITB, to be, there is also the verb blBtb
which is conjugated lke the regular verb HHTaTb and means
to be freqnently, vegularly, habitually. Therefore when you say
51 bIJI B My3 you mean I was in the musenm at a certain time
(once) ; but when you say 55 bIBjI B My3e you mean to say:
I have visited the museum freqnently. There are thick fogs in Lonon
in autumn is translated : B JIHflOHe bIBOT ryCTbl
TyMHbl. OH bIBeT B KOHTpe no yTpM, he is generally
at the office in the morning. This second meanins; of to be, blBaTb
,
is invariably used whenever the word HCTO , often, frequently
occurs. HCTO bIBeT, HTO H He OflaiOj, it is of frequmt
occurrence that I do not dine.

LESSON 10.
Shortened Adjectives
a
'
Now that we have learned the conjugation of the verb 6bITB, to
A
'
be, mention must be made of the shortened orm of adjectives.
The explanation of this form is as follows : Whenever an adjective
comes before the noun which it describes, it will have the endings
e
given on page 13. For exampie: 3JI0pBbIH MjIbHHK, a
L
"
healthy boy; 3nOpBafl flBOHKa,
a healthy girl; 3OpBOe
l -
HHT,
a healthy chila. If, however, instead of saying
"
a healthy
.
boy" we say : the boy is healthy, a shortened form of adjective
I.
would be used in Russian and we should say Mjlb4HK 3HOpB .
III
|
The same would apply if we wished to say : the girl was healthy,
the chila was healthy, and so on. The shortened form of adjective
I is obtained in the masculine by dropping the ending fei , HH or O .
and substituting in the feminine a for a51 and in the neuter O
for oe
respectively. Ali three genders end in the plural in BI
,
ie
which is added to the stem of the adjective (or H when the stem
;r
ends in >K, H, UI , IU
or r, K, X).
'
r& We therefore say: SflOpBblH MjIbHHK for healthy boy, but
eh
MaJlbHHK 3H0pB,
6bIJI 3flOpB, yfleT 3flOpB
for
ea
the boy is, was, or will be healthy ; SflOpBaH aBOHKa
for healthy
Dd
i gtri. but nBOHKa saopBa, 6biii 3nopBa ;
fuet
36
SOpBa for the girl is, was, or will be healthy
; SflOpBOe
HHT53
for healthy chila, but flHTi 3f0pB0, bIJIO
3(0pB0,
6faeT 3fl0pB0 for the child is, was, or will be healthy.
As the shortened forms of adjectives present difficulties for a
beginner it is well to realise that it is never incorrect to use the full
form. This makes hardly any difference in meaning.
Adjectives which have consonants before their endings
blH
HH and OH, as in the words
TpyfHblf, difficult ; HCHblK,'
clear; 3JI0H, malicious, ivicked
; UerKHH, light
; 6ojlhHQpL
ill; drop these endings and o or e is put between the last two
consonants in order to render the pronunciation of the word easy
and clear. Therefore the shortened masculine form of the examples
given will not be TpyfH, 5ICH, 3JI,
JierK
t
OJIfeH, but
Tpyflen, tceH, soji, JiroK, neH.

VERBS (continued)
Regular Conjugations and Accusative Case
We shall now learn the present tense of one of each of the regular
verbs, which will serve us as specimens for the formaton o the
present tense of other regular verbs.

(III.) PM-emb To have (IV.) X/l-umb To praise

TM HM-eiIIB thou hast TH XBaJI-HIUb thou praises
OH HM-eT he has OH XBjl-HT he praises
OHa HM-GT she has OHa XBaJI-HT she praises
MH HM-eM we have MH XBjI-HM we praise
3H HM-eTe you have BH XBcLJI-HTe you praise
OHH HM-KDT they have OHH XBjI-HT they praise
So you see that the endings of the Present Tense are:
Ist Person
:
K> (y
after r, K, X, IO (y
after r, K, X,
m, h, iu, m) >k, i, ni
? mi
2nd eiiib HUIfe
Srd 6T
Plural.
HT
Ist Person
:
eu HM
2nd exe HTe
3rd K)T (yT after r, K, X, 517 (aT after r, K, X,
m, h, ui,
m) H, H, III, m)
With most regular verbs it is sufficient to know the Ininitive in
order to be able to form the present tense : e.g., from nyM-aTi>,
to think we have 51 flyMaiO, TH flyMaeiHB, XBaJI-HTb
f
9L XBajI-K), TH XBajIHIHb, etc.
There are some verbs that do not fit into our four models :
HHCaTb, to write; HHCTHTb, to clean, etc. They show varied
irregularities for which it is difficult to give any set rules. You v/ill
find the easiest way to overcome any difficulties in using such verbs
is by careful reading, and notrag any irregularities you come across.
You will thus gradually learn them and in time you will find that
you have become quite familiar with them.
In verbs v/ith an irregular present the usual endings are added to
the stem, which is obtained on dropping the ending of the second
person singular of the present tense: nHHieiIIb, stem riHIII ;
ce-enib, stem ce ; CTyH-Huib, CTyn ; HHCT-Hiub, hhct<
The English form of the present tense expressing a continuous
action does not exist in Russian, and sentences like / awi speaking,
I am pvaising become I speak, I praise, 5! HHTlO, 51 XBJJK).
Verbs can be divided into two classes according to their meaning
and the way in which they affect the endings of words related to
them in a sentence. These two classes are called "transitive"
and
"
intransitive
"
verbs.
A transitive verb denotes an action which is directed to an object.
For instance : I read a book. Here the action of reading is directed
to the book, and the word book is the direct object of that action.
As has been said befort?, the direct object o a sentence is put in the
accusative case.
An intransitive verb denotes an action which stops witb. the
doer and concerns no person or thing except the doer. For instance,
to walk, ryjIHTb, is an intransitive verb.
So far we have had the endings of nouns in the nominative,
genitive and dative cases, anc we shall now learn the endings of
the accusative case.
We remind you that masculine nouns ending in a consonant in
the nominative take a in the genitive and
y
in the dative : CTOJI
the table
; CTOJl
, of the table
; CTOJI
f
, to the table. Nouns ending
in H change the H into H in the genitive and BD in the dative :
rep, the hero; rep-H, of the hero;
rep-IO, to the hero.
The accusative case of a masculine noun is exactly like the
nominative when the noun denotes an inanimate thing, but it is
like the genitive if the noun denotes a living thing.
Consequently
the accusative case of the word CTOJI is also
CTOJI , but that of
the word rep is repH, for instance:
Jl HMO CTOJI
/ have a table; H SHlO repH, I know the hero.
Feminine nouns ending in a change the a into ti in the genitive
and e in the dative:
JlMIia, a lamp
; JlMUh , of alamp
;
JiaMIie
,
to a lamp. Those ending in H change the H into H and
e :
repHHH, the heroine;
repOHHH, of the heroine
; repOHHe
to the heroine; and those ending in b change the h into
h in
the genitive and also in the dative:
Jiuiaflb, JIIIiaiIH
JiinaflH.
The accusative case of feminine nouns ending in a has the ending
y
instead of a ;
that of nouns ending in 51 has K) instead of n ; and
that of nouns ending in h is similar to the nominative.
Consequently
the accusative of our examples
JlMna, repOHHH and
JlIJJaflb
waibenMny,
reponio, jiuianb.
AH neuter nouns (i.e., those ending in o or e or
MH) have the
same ending for the accusative as for the nominative. For example
:
51 HMO spKajIO, I have a mirror ; 51 JIIOJI
Mpe , / love
the sea; riQJIK HMeT SHM5T
t
the regiment has a banner.

LESSON 12.
Genitve o Adjectives
It has been explained already that if an adjective is used in a sen-
tence to describe a noun, that adjective must agree with the noun
in gender and case ; that is to say, it must be put in the same gender
and case as the noun which it describes.
Teaching experience seems to show that declensions, particularly
where nouns, adjectives and pronouns are combined, and also con-
jugations of verbs, form the most difficult parts of Russian grammar.
You will therefore nd that a large number of exercises are given,
since constant practice is necessary before one can become fiuent
in them.
We shall now learn the genitive endings of the adjectives.
MASCULINE ADJECTIVES ending in the nominative in BIH
or OH change these endings into OTO ; those ending in HH have
the genitive ending rO : HBbl, new ; HBOTO, of the new
;
3J10H, wicked; 3JITO, of
the wicked;
CHHHH, blue ; CHH6rO,
of
the blue.
FEMININE ADJECTIVES ending in the nominative in a$,
change this ending in the genitive into OH ; those ending in ih

NEUTER ADJECTIVES ending in the nominative

the same endings in the genitive as masculine adjectives : H0B06
new;
HBOrO, of

Dative and Accusative of Adjectives
Masculine adjectives ending in blH, OH and Neuter adjectives
ending in oe in the nominative aid
OTO in the genitive, take the
ending OMy in the dative : HB-fclH, HB-Oro, HB-OMy ; 3J1-OH,
SJl-FO, 3JI-My.
Adjectives ending in the nominative in HH or ee and in the genitive
4S TEACH YOURSELF RUSS1AN
ia
ro ake the ending

ia the dative : GHH-KH, CHH-er,
CHH-eMy.
Feminine adjectives with the nominative ending n EH and th
genitive in OH take also OH in the dative : HB-aH, HB-O
HB-OH, Feminine adjectives with the nominative ending in 51%
and the genitive in efl, take eH in the dative : CHH-5I5I, CHH-eH.
The accusative case o a masculine adjective is formed as follows :
li it applies to an inanimate thing, it is like the nominative : si
HMlO KBbM CTJI, I have a new iable ; if to a living thing, it is
like the genitive : OH BCTpeneT H3BcTHOrO repS, he meeis
a well-known hero. Neuter adjectives, like neuter nouns, have the
accusative always the same as the nominative case : # BfoKV
CHH6 HO, I $ee the blue sea. The accusative of a feminine
adjective ends in yio when the nominative ending is a5
and in K3K> when the nominative ending is S51, for nstance : OHa
JIIHT CBOK) CTpyK) MaTb, she loves her old mother; bu
SBOHKa HMeT CHHIOIO JlHTy, the gxvl Kas a blue ribbon.

LESSON 14.
The Use of the Negative and of the Genitive
You say in English I know nobody here, or Ldo not know anybody
here, and one negative is sufficient in an English sentence. It is
different in Russian, where the word He must be used before the
verb, even though there is another negative in the same sentence.
This means that the sentences just given are translated in Russian :
91 HHKOr SfleCfa He 8HK>, which is literally: I do not know
nobody here.
The same is true of the expression : neit.eer . . . nor, which is
translated in Russian by HH
HH. Here also the verb in the
Russian sentence is preceded by the word He, though the presence
o HH HH should be sufficient to give the sentence a negative
meaning. Whereas in English you say : neitker he nor she knows me,
in the Russian you have : HH OH HH OH He 3HOT MeHfl, which
is literally : neithev he nor she does not know me.
The genitive case is used in a negative sentence implyin the
absence of a person or a thing from a given place Such English
expressions as : there ts no one there ; there %s not anyone there are
translated in Russian: HHKOr TaM HeT; there $$ neither' beer
nor wme vn the house, B HMe H6T HH UKB3. HH BHH.
The genitive is also used, as you would expect, after words
indicating quantity or measure. when the English generally use
of.
For instance
: a bottle
of milk, yTJlKa MJIOK , a box
of matches,
KOpKa CDHHeK ; a dozen
{of) eggs,
JHMHH HHH . also after
the following words : CKJlfaKO, how much, how many . CTJlfcKO
somwch, so many;
CTJlbKOCKJIbKO, as much as, as many as';
HCKOJIfeKO, several, a few ; MHrO, a lot : MTO, a little, etc.

a lot
of

etc.
"Some" in such expressions as: please give me some water,
some books, some cherries, some brea, is translated
sTe MHe
notfrcyHCTa, bohh, khht, BuieHb, xjia, which would
literally mean : give me please
of water,
of books,
of cherries,
of brea.
You will come across a ew expressions where, instead of the
genitive case indicating a small quantity of divisible matter, a
masculine noun has the dative. We say in Russian, for instance
;
have you some tobacco ? HMeTe JIH Bbl Ta6aKy? ; / want some
tea, H XOHy HlO ;

people. The noun My>KHHHa means male or man, while My>K
means husband and has as its plural My>KBH The plural of
peHOK, chila, is peHTa, chiidren.
Make a special note of such irregularities when you come across
them in exercises.
number of nouns have irregular endings in the nominativo
plural and other cases, just as some English nouns have irregular
plurais, as for instance : branch, branches ; fiy, fiies ; v/oif, wolves

Numerais
A numeral can. denote mimber, for instance, &ye, or else position
in order of aumber, for instance, fifth. Numerais which denote
how many objects there are are called cardinais and those which
denote their order are called ordinais.
The number
"
one
"
is expressed in Russian as OftHH for masculina
nouns, OflHa,
eminine, and OflHO, neuter, and must be of the
same gender, number and case as the noun to which it applies.
For instance : OHHH KapaHfllH, ORR RtlT, OflH nHCBM.
The plural o this numeral for ali genders is OJJHH and it means:
alone, by themselves, only.
Note : In English you say : twenty-one workmen, three hundred
and thirty-one books ("workmen,"
<
books
"
are in.the plural).
82 TECR YOURSELF RUSSIAN

The noun following the cardinal numerals
flBa, two, TpH, three,
and HeTbipe, /ow, when they are in the nominative and accusative,
is put in the genitive singular. Consequently two tables, thres
tahles, four tables are rendered in Russian : B CTOJl, TDH

The same rale applies to the v/ord 3. meanng both. (Ths orm

preceded by Oe).
Consequently, both tbles is rendered in Russian 6a CTOJl ;
both mirrors, a spKaiia ; 5ot books, 6e KHrH. The cardinal
numerais and the nominativa and accusative from five upwards
are ollowed by the noun in the genitive plural, for instance
:
tweniy-five tables is in Russian : JX"B3.J[\X3JVh n5Tb CTOJ1B ; a

VERBS (continued)
We have already seen that Russian has no continuous tjresent
tense. There is also only one past tense, for example : % HHTiT
I have rea and I rea. There are no such verbal forms as the English
"I have read," "I have been reading," "I had read," and soon.
In so far as these shades of meaning are expressed in Russian this
is done by other means, as, for example, by adding an explantory
word to the verb in the sentence. Thus, I am wvitmg a letter would

certain syllables to the beginning of a verb or giving it special
endings, to modify its meaning and so express some of the varieties
of sense which are conveyed by the different
English tenses. But
we shall deal with this in greater detail later.

Th formation of the past tense of regular verbs is. very simple :
you drop the Tb in. verbs ending in -51Tb, -aTb, -eTb or -HTb
and add J] or the masculine ; Jia for the eminine
; JIO for the
neuter and J1H for the plural of ali genders. Therefore the past
tenses o the specimen verbs given on pages 38 and 39 are :-
H, TH, OH HHTlI, ryjl5UI, HMJl,
XB3J1HJI
h
p
th, OH HHTjma, ryjina,
HMJia, XBaJlHJia l 1 read, walke, had,
Si, Tbl, OH HHTjlO, ryjlnO,
/
praised, etc.
HMHO, XBajIHJlO
Mb!, Bbl, OHH HHTJIH, ryJIJIH,
HMJIH, XBaJIHJIH.
The future tense of a regular verb is formed by adding its nfinitive
to the future tense of bITb, to be. For instance, the future of
IlHcTb, to write, is fl 6$!iy nHCaTb, / shall wtite. Therefore
the future tense of the specimen verbs is : H yny, Tbl yneillb,
OH, OH, OH 6yfi6T HHTTb, ryjl5Tb, HMTb, XBaJlHTb,
Mbi 6yi.eM, Bbi yfleTe, ohh 6ynyi HHTTb, ryjiTb,
HMTb, XBaJlHTb.
The conditional or subjunctive mood is formed by adding the
word 6bl to the past tense. Therefore / should (or would) read is
translated by 51 HKTaJl-LI, / should walk, s\ ryjlHJl-bl ; I should
have, H HM&n-bl ; / should praise, % XBajIHJI-bl.
The imperative mood is formed from the second person singular
of the present tense by dropping the ending -eillb in verbs whose
inhnitives end in -aTb, -53Tb, or -eTb, and -HUIb in verbs ending
ki -HTb and adding instead H, HTe or H, HTe. Consequently the
imperative of our specimen verbs would be HHT, HHTiTe,
ryjiHH, rynHiTe, HMi, HMfiTe, xBajiH, xBanHTe.
You vvill notice that H and HTe are added to a vowel and H
and HTe to a consonant. However, verbs with a stem ofone
syllable, i that stem ends in a consonant, have b instead of H
and bTe instead of HTe ;
for example : pCHTb, to throw ; stem,
pOC : imperative : pOCb, pCbTe.
If a transitive verb is preceded by the word He, the noun followmg
it must be put in the gemtive instead of the accusative case. There-
fore we say :

LESSON 20
PREPOSITIONS
There are certain words used in speech to show the place or time
at- which something oceurs. For instance : my fathr is building
a house near thefactory, MOH OTli CTpHT flOM BJIH3H f|)pHKH ;
/ walked after dinner, H ryjlHJI nCJie Ojia.
Others indicate the cause or purpose of an action. For instance :
the teacher has praise the boy for his goo work,
VHHTeJlb XBajlHJI
yHeHHK 3a XOpIIiyiO paTy. He. has brought this book for
LESSON 20 73
my sister, OH ilpHHeC rj KHHFy HJ15 MOft CeCTptL Words
o this ypa are called in grammar prepositions.
In English a. preposition sometimes calls for a change in the
word which follows it. For example, you do not say in English
"
by he,"
"
afler he," but
"
by htm,"
"
aft^ him." Similarly,
following the prepositions by, afler, you change the pronouns she
and who, and you say by her, after her, by whom, afler whom. No
such change is required in English when a prepositon is followed
by a noun and you say : by the book or by the man, afler my father,
without having o alter the words
"
book" or
"
man," or
"
my
father " in any way.
In Rassian this is not so, since a word which folows the prepositon
is always put in the case required by the preposition. The following
examples will show how a preposition in Russian afects the ending
of the noun which comes ater it.
H CHfljI KOJIO HpeBa I was stting near the tree.
2. H nOflOIej] K flpeSJ
I came up to the tree.
3. H B3JI63 Ha JpeBO I climbed up the tree.
H CHfljl nOH flpeBOM I was sitting undev the tree.
H CHflj] Ha flpeBe I was sitting up in the tree.
We see that KOJIO, near, is followed by the genitive case ;
K, up to, by the dative, and Ha, up, by the accusative. Sentences 4
and 5 give examples of the two cases which have not yet been
dealt withs* nOJJ,, undev, is followed by the instrumental and Ha,
up in, by the prepositional case.
Adjectives relating to the noun must be put in the same case
as the noun to which they refer. For instance : H CHfljI KOJIO
OJIbLUrO CTporO npeBa, 1 was sitting near the big, ld tree.
The adjective OJILIlIe CTpoe, big, old, must also be put in
the genitive case.
Most prepositions govera one case onry. Thus KOJIO near, is
aiways followed by the genitive. But there are prepositions which
may govern one or other of two cases according to the meaning
of the preposition. Look at the preposition Ha in the sentences
given above : in the third sentence Ha means up and it is followed
by the accusative, but in the fifth sentence the same preposition,
meaaing up m, is followed by the prepositional case. Some ore-
? "EACH YOURSELF RUSSIN
positions even govem three cases, and the case varies according to
the raeaning o the preposition which precedes the noun.

Every noun ending in a consonant is declined like the v/ord
CTOJI and every noun ending in H like rep. Masculine nouns
ending in L follow the declension of the word
KOHL, Consequently
these three tables will serve you as standard models for almost
ali nouns which have one of these endings in their primary form,
that is, the nominative case.
Adjectives applied to a masculine noun generally have the ending
bVA and are declined as v/e have shov/n in these tables. ew
have the nominative ending OH, for instance 3JJ0H, but in ali the
other cases they have the same ending as i their nominative case
ended in H.
There are also a ew adjectives ending in Ht 5551, Oe like

LESSON 23
Comparison of Adjectives
A person or thing may possess a certain quality in different
degrees. For instance, while one boy is diligent, another boy may
be more diligent, or there may be a boy who is the most diligent of
he class. Or we can say : To-day is a warm day, yeslerdly was
warmer, and the day before
y
sterday was the warmest day
of the week.
We say in grammar that a qualitativa
adjective is in the positive
or comparative or superlative degree.
The positive degree siraply denotes the quality o the noun i
a warm day ; a diligent boy.
The comparative denotes a higher degree of the quality. For
instance
: a more diligent boy ; a warmer day. This is used when two
things are compared in respect of a certain quality.
The superlative denotes the highest degree of quality. Foz
instance
: the mos diligent boy ; the warmest day. This form is used
when one thing is compared with ali other things of the same kind.
LESSON 23
ly
The comparativa degree is formed in Kussian by addlng to the
adjective the word Jiee, more, os MHee, iess, and the superlative
degree by addmg caMbl which has the meaning o most,
We therefore say :
A beautiul house npeKpCHLIH JOVi
A more beautiul house Jiee ipeKpCHblH JIQM
The most beautiful house cMHH HpeKpcHblH flOM.
Notice that Jiee and MHee never vary in orm, while cMHH,
CM3.9l
s
cMOe are declined like any ordinary adjectives. (H flail
eid cMyiO CnnyVD rpyiuy, / gave her the npes pear.)
The comparative and the superlative degrees .may also be formed
by changing the endings o the adjective : bIH
}
5l, 06, into ee
or the comparative, for instance : HOBe, newev, and into eHUIHK
s
eHLUaH, eflUee, or aHLLIHH, afLUaH, afimee for the superlative,
for instance : newest, HOBHLilH, HOBHIIiaS, HOBeHUiee ;
severe, stvict, CTpOTHH ; more severe, CTpO>K6 ; the most severe,
CTpOKHlllHH, CTpO>KHIlia5, CTOOmiIIee,
The adjective in the comparative degree is not declined and stands
unaltered for ali genders, singular and plural. Than is translated
by HeM, We therefore say :
8tot noM KpacHBee, hgm Haiu
Ta KHHra HHTepcHee, new nnia
to 3epKajio HOBe, nem Hiiie
Alternatively it is possible to dispense with the word HeM by
using the genitive case of the word following the adjective in the
comparative degree. The three senences just given can therefore
be expressed :
tot jxom KpacHBe Huiero
?a KHHra HHTepcHee Hme
to 3pKano HOBe Hiuero.
In these exampes the genitive case HiUerO or HlII6H is to
be translated than ours.
Here is another example
:
Oh npnji>KHee
9
hcm moh 6pa?
Oh npHii>KHee Moer pia
OH npHJi>KHee, neu moh cecxp
Oh npHJi>KHee Moft cecrp.
Adjectives in the superlative degree ending in 6HIIIKH or aHBHH
are declined as ordinary adjectives. For instance : OHa JX3.JIB
nOflpOK HOpIIieMy MaJlbHWKy, she has given a present to
lhe fmidesi boy.
Bi TEACH YOURSELF RUSS!AN
There is, however, a number of adjectives whose comparativa
and superlative degrecs are irregular. We shall give here a list of
those which are most frequently met. Try to memorise them as

if a pronoun in the 3rd person is preceded by a preposition,
H is added to it in order to avoid an accumulation o vowels and
to make the pronunciaton easier. Consequently, instead o

K HHM ; DOfl HHM, non
HeH ; no HHM, etc.
However, when such a pronoun precedes a noun and serves as a
possessive pronoun, answering the question whose ? HePl ? H is added
to it because in that case the preposition refers to the noun and not
to the pronoun

first example the preposition refers to the word

to the word ceCTpbl.
The reflexive pronoun
ceH means
of oneself and
of ihemselves
It stands for aU the three persons, singular and plural. This pronoun
has no nominative case. Its dative case is ce ; accusative,
Ce

instrumental,

O Ce. In

namely, by er, e, HX. Therefore his, her, their tabls is translated
er, ee, hx ctoji ; his, her, their sister, er, ee, hx cecTpa
;
his, her, their tables, er, ee, HX CTOJI ,
etc.
TBOH, TBOH, TBOe, thme, thy ; CBOH, CBOH, CBOe, one's own ;
Bani, Bailia, Bllie, your, yours, are declined iike MOH, MO,
MOe and HaLIl, Hllia, Hllie respectively.
The possessive pronoun CBOH, CBOH, CBOe, CBOH may be used
instead o MO, TBOH, er, ee, HaiU, BaiU, HX and their plurais.
You can say : I have seen my father, 53 BHJjej] MOer OTU or
CBOer OTIi. You have seen your father, Bbl BHJjeJIH BlierO
OTIl, or CBOer OTIi, etc. The possessive pronouns are often

LESSON 29
REFLECTiVE AND RECIPROCAI VERBS
A reflexive verb is a special kind of transitive verb where b a
doer of the action is also the object o the action. For example

I (the subject) wash myself (the object).
The Russian reflexive verb is ormed by adding to the verb
CH
(contracted from
"
ceH," self).
The CH means myself, thyself, hirnself, etc. :
nOBOpHHBaTb, to. tura
nOBOpHHBaTbCH, to tura oneself
MbITb, to wash
MbITb-CH, to wash oneself
pHTb, to shave
pHTb-CH, to shave oneself
CnacTb, to save, rescue
cnacTb-CH, to save oneself
You have already learned how to conjugate ordinary
verbs.
Conjugate any reflexive verb in the same manner, adding to every
forra
C5.
If the form ends in a vowel change the C5i into
Cb :
fl CnaclO, I save
5J- cnaciO-Cb, I save myself
OH MbIJl, he washed
OH MblJlCH. he washed hirnself
OHHyayTnoBopHH-
ohh yny? noBopHHBaTbc.q,
BaTb, they will tura they wil tura themselves
A reciprocai verb is one where two or more persons act both as
subject and object o the verb. For example :
to meet each other,
BCTpenTbCH?
o fight,
Cpa>K3.TbCH.
What we have said about the reflexive verbs applies also to
reciprocai verbs :
51 HCTO BCTpeHlOCb C JipyrOM, I often meet my friend
;
repH CpamOTC! Xppo, heroes fight bravely.
There are also a number of verbs v/ith
C5I although. in view of
their meaning, one would not expect to find them amongst reflexive
verbs. The explanation sometimes is simple, as
yHHTbCff to learn
(literally to teach oneself). Some others are not so easy to understand
ike
OHTbCf, to be afraid
of; CMes?TbC5I, to laugh. Memorise
such words carefuly. The conjugation is the same as that o
reflexive verbs.
Si CMeFCb, I laugh
OHH OHTCfl nprpaKOB, they are afraid of ghosts.

LESSON 30
PARTICIPLES
This grammaticai form, he Participle, as well as he Gerund,
whch is explained in the next lesson, are mainly used in literary
Russian, but to use them in ordinary conversation would sound
bookish.
Besides the simple adjectives there are also adjectives derived
from verbs. These verbal adjectives are to be ound both in English
and in Russian and are known as participles. Examples o English
participles are : loving, rom the verb to love, and sleeping, rom
the verb to sleep.
Like other adjectives, participles are used to describe a noun,
but, because they are derived rom verbs, they always denote some
action or some state o the thing which they are describin. For
instance, in the phrases : working man and sleeping chld, the
participle
"
working
"
denotes an action o the man, and
"
sleeping
"
a state of the child.
Several dirTerent participles can oe formed rom every Russian
verb, and we shall now explain thes. Let us take the present
participle first
: paTaiOmHH, mHIUHH, flyMaiOlUHH. These
meau working, loving and thinking, and are formed in the followng
way. Detach the ending rom the third person plural o the present
tense o the verb and you get the stem. For example : from
paOTa-IOT the stem is paOTa- ; from Jl-HT, JIK)6- ; from
HyMa-KDT, flyMa-. To the sterns, add the correct participle ending.
These are yiUHM and fOLUHH where the third person plural ends
in -yf or -iOT, aiUH and HIUHH where it ends in -ai or -et.
In this way we obtain the present participles
DaCTafOUHf
JUfllHHH, HyMaiOmH. whicfe mean respectively : working',
loving, thinking.
Besides the present participles, Russian nas also past participles.
These denote some past a.ction or past state of the thing which they
are describing. For instance : pa6TaOiI4HH HeJIOBK means :
a man who is working now, but paTaBlHH HejlOBK means :
a man who was or has been working;
Cnmee flHT, sleeping child
l
Glmuee fHT
s
child who has slept.
118 TEACH YOURSELF RUSSAN
The Russian past participle ias ao English equivalent and, aa
you will see from the examples below, it must be translated by a
complete phrase beginning with the word who or which. It is formed
by detaching the ending TL. from the inhnitive o the verb and
adding the ending BLUHH (or, for some verbs, IHHH) to the stem
which remains. Thus the past participles of the verbs given are

paTaBIIIHH, JHOHBUIHH, HyMaBUIHH.
The following sentences illustrate the use of the past participle
:
moh OTq, xopoiu noHHMBiiiHH
no-pyccKK
8
eflB Mor
FOBOpHTb Ha 3TOM 53HK, my fatker, who understood
Russian
well, could scarcely speak the language
; KanHT,
BHfleBUIHH
OnCHOCTb, OCTaHOBHJI napOXfl, the captain, who saiv the
danger, stoppe his ship. Here the two past participles
nOHHMBUIHH
and BHfleBLUHH are translated
"
who understood "
and
"
who
saw" respectively.
Both the present and the past participles, like ordinary adjectives,
have a masculine, a feminine and a neuter forra ; for example :
Present tense
:
paTaiomHH,
paTaiomaH,
paTaioiisee
;
Past tense: paTaBiiiHH, paTaBiuaH,
paTaBiuee.
They are declined like ordinary adjectives. They govern the same
caseias the verb from which they are derived. Thus
MjIbHHK
HHTOLUHH rasTy" means : the boy reading the papev.
MHTTB
governs the accusative case and therefore the participle
HHTlOmHH
does likewise,
Notice that in Russian the participle can be used alone n the
singular or plural to mean : one who reas, those who read, or, in
the case of the past participle : one wbo was reading, those who were
reading. For instance
: HHTOmHe Ta3TH 3HlOT, HTO
XIpOHCXHHT Ha CBTe, those who read mwspapers know what
takes place in the worl.
The two participles with which we have just dealt are both active
participles; that is to say, they describe a thing which itself performs
or has performed the action. But there are passive participles too
These describe a thing to which something is being or has been
done. For example, the phrase : the book which is read by me can
be translated
: KHHra, HHTeMafl MHOK), where
HHTeMai
is a passive participle meaning : which is read or is being read.
There are two passive participles, a present and a past, and they are
formed from transitive verbs only.
The present passive participle is formed by adding
eMBIH to
the stem of the present tense if the infinitive of the verb ends in
-STfe or -HTfe and HMBIH if it ends in
-HTB or
-eTB ; for instance,
LESSON 119
!S,
roni HHTaTfc we have HHTaeMHH meaning being read, which is
read, and rom. BKfleTbBHHHMHH, being seen or which is seen.
The past passive participle has the meaning of rea, which was
read, seen, which was seen, etc. It is formed usually by adding
HHLIH to the stem of the infinitive, as for example : HHTEHHfalH
rom HHTaTb ; the book read by me, KHra, HHTaHHaH MHK) ;
and the town seen by me, TpOfl, BHHeHHHH MHIO.
But if the infinitive stem ends in a consonant, the ending eHHHH
is added instead. For example, from the infinitive yneCTH, to
carry away, we get yHecHHMH. In the case of some verbs the
past participle ends in TblH, for example: MHTHH, washe
;
TpHyTHH, touche.
Reflexive verbs form the present and past participle like ordinary
verbs, preserving the
"
self" CH : 6opw,il&C$l, fighting ; OpB-
I1IHHC5I, who has fought. Ali passive participles are declined, and
have an abbreviated form, like ordinary adjectives.
A sentence formed with a participle is separated by commas
from the main sentence.

LESSON 31
THE GERUND
The gerund is a form derived frorn a verb, which accompanies
another verb in a sentence and explains the manner or circumstances
in which something takes place or has taken place, i.e.
f the gerund
is a verbal adverb, as a participle is a verbal adjective. The gerund
can therefore be in the present or past tense.
Take the sentences : He 3H5 HH CJlBa IIO-pycCKH, CMHT
noxaJI B CosTCKHH COIS, not knowing a word
of Russian,
Smith went to the Soviet Union. The first sentence explains the state
in which Smith went to the Soviet Unionnot knowing a word
of Russian.
npopaTaBLUH Becb fleHt b cany, % 6un pa&
OTflOXHyTb, kavmg worke througk the whole day in the garden,
I was glad to have a rest. In these sentences the first part explains
when I was glad to have a rest.
The gerund present is formed from the 3rd person plural by
replacing the endings -yT, -K>T, -T, -5IT by the ending -H (or -a
if the stem ends in }K, H, III, III, after which n is replaced by a)
3Ha-Tb, 3H-K)T, 3H-5.
Reflexive, reciprocai and other verbs ending in Cb of course
retain CH in the gerund.
Kyn-Tb-CH, Kyn-KDT-Ci, Kyn-H-cb
Bcrpen-Tb-CH, BCTpen-ioT-CH, BCTpeq-H-cfc
cjiyma-Tb-CH, cuyiiia-ioT-cfl, cjiyma-i-cb
The past gerund is formed by adding to the stem of the past
tense BUJH or B or mH in verbs with the stem ending in
fl
or
T.

LESSON 32
forrnacion of Words
Words in a language are interwoven. From a noun, there may
be formed, other nouns, adjectives, adverbs ; from adjectives adverbs
are formed from verbs, nouns, other verbs, etc. We therefore
advise you, whenever you come across a new word, to see whether
you know another word with the same root before you look up
the meaning of the new word in the dictionary. Later on you will
be able to recognise families of words.
Take an example of a fmily of English words : abstain, appertain,
attain, contain, detain, entertain, maintain, obtain, retain, sustam.
The root of aii these words is the Latin word
"
teneo," meaning I
hold, to which have been added the various prefixes : abs- (from),
at- (to), con- (with), ad- (to) and per- (through), and so on. The
d in the ad-pertain and ad-tain has been altered to
p and to t for
the sake of easier pronunciation. Then let us take another word
:
conceive, deceive, perceive, receive, which come from the Latin root
"
capio," 1 take, added to which are con- and de- (down, away,
from), etc.
Russian likewise adds prefixes to modify the meanings and thus
new words are created. Let us take the verb : XOflHTL meaning
to go, to walk. From this verb are formed the following 18 verbs :
Bbl-XOHHTb means to go out, come out; appear, be published
3a-XOflHTb to call (to call on, at, for), go behind,
set (sun)
npH-XOflTB to come, arrive

to resembie, be like
to approach, come near, suit, match, fit
to surpass, excel, surmount
to part, sepai-ate
o go dovra, descend, alight
By changing the ending o the verb in Russian, new words are
also created. From
XOflHTb we have
BbIx>KHBaTb, to rear,
bring up; 3ax>KHBaTb
t
to call often ai, on
; yX3JKHBaTb to
nurse, waii on, court.
When reading, you would do well to compare the prefixes with the
prepositions dealt with in Lessons 20 and 21. You will see that
in most cases the prefixes are just prepositions. If you are con-
ronted with a verb like OTTOHHTb try nrst of ali to recognise
the root of the verb which in this case is TOH. Having the general
sense of the root and remembering the meaning of the preposition
OT- (away), you will easily recognise the meaning o the new word
OTrOHHTb. (to drive away).

LESSON S3
IRREGULAR
CONJUGATIONS
We have said in Lesson 11 that there are verbs which, whilst
they are otherwise conjugated regularly and follow one of the four
specimens given,
HHTTb, ryjITb, HMtb, XBaJlHTb, have some
irregular tenses. Here are instances of such verbs :
HepHTb, to hol; instead of haîng the present tense, as in
HHTaTB, nepJKaiO, etc., this verb has
Hep>Ky,
JlpHHIIIfe
nepjKHT, etc.
; M0J7H lb has a MOJIHy
; CJIbWiaTb, to keav, has
cjibiiny
; Tpeii|Tb
P
to crack, si Tpemy.
Other verbs, for instance,
BejlTb, BHCTB, mtmTh, instead
of having, like our modei for verbs ending in eTb, HMlb, HM0
have BeJlIO, BHIIiy, .rJI5DKy.
'
The verb ceXTb, to sow, has
C6K) ; BHJieTb, to see,
-BbKV;
HJiaKaTb, to weep
; JlHcTJb, to wrtte;
HCKTb, to search, have
rmany, niiiy, Hiiiy, etc, etc.
We give here a list of the verbs of this kind most requently mel.
Knowing by heart the three forms of he turfas in the list will be
a very useful acquisitoii.

LESSON 34
DVERBS
Adverbs are used to supplement verbs ; they are words which
describe the manner, or circumstances, in which something takes
place. The verb denotes a plain action or state ; the adverb ex-
plains how, when, why, or where the action or state occurs. For
instance, in the phrases : he lives gaily, the traiu runs fast, I sometimes
rea the newspaper, the words
"
gaily,"
"
fast," and
"
sometimes
"
are adverbs telling us something about the actions :
"
live,"
"
run
"
and
" read."
In English there are some words which, though ordinariiy adjec-
tives, can be used as adverbs without being changed at ali. Thus
in he stayed long, he spoke loud, he carne early, he stands near, he rode
fast, the words "long," "loud," "early," "near" and "fast"
are ali adverbs, although in other contexts they could be used as
adjectives. But the usual method of orming an adverb in English
is to add ly to the adjective, for example : wise, wisely ; easy,
easily ; loud, loudly.
In Russian many adverbs are formed from adjectives by changing
the ending blH into O, thus: yMHbl, dever; yMH, cleverly
;
KpaCHBbl, pretty ; KpaCHBO, prettily ; npHJljKHHH, diligent
;
npHJl}KHO
s
diligently ; II3flHHH, late (adjective), H3HHO,
late. (adverb).
Some adverbs are formed from adjectives ending in HH and
take the ending H6. For instance : KpflHHH, extreme; KpHe,
extremely ; HCKpeHHHH, sincere ; HCKpeHHe, sincerely. If an
adjective ends in CKHH the adverb is formed by putting 110 in front
ISO TCH YOURSELF RSSJAN
of the adjective and replacing the ending
HH by
H :
pyCCKHH
Russian
: FIO pyCCKH, in Russian;
aHTJ] HCKHH: Envhsk
'
no âHrJlHHCKH, in Engish;
flpyweCKHH, fnendly ;
no~
flpy>KeCKM, in a friendly manner
; COJlflTCKH, soldierfy
;
no-COJlflTCKH, in a soldierly way. Some such adverbs are
used withou DO: (j)H3HHeCKH, physically
; pCKH, slavishly.
Adverbs, Jike adjectives, have a compartive degree : cJeverly,
more cleverly
;
diligently, more diligently. Adverbs which are
formed rora adjectives and end in o take the same ending as
adjectives in the compartive degree, namely,
ee, for instance :
bICTpblH, quick; blCTpo, quickly
; fa!CTpe
f
qmcker or more
quickly, according to the context.
The irregular compartive form of Russian adjectives given in
Lesson
23 serves for the compartive degree both o the adjective
and of the adverb formed from it. For example :
plIKHH, tare;
pflKO, rarely;
p>Ke, rarer or more rarely
/ XCpIUHH,' goo;
XOpoiU, well; JiyHUJe, better.
The adverbs:
1. MHro, 2. MaJTO, 3. naJieK, and 4.
n
have each. two orms o the compartive degree :
MHTO mucb. more

PAPER VERSUS TEXTILES
Wood pulp has other uses besides that of papermaking. In a
paper recently read before the London section of the Society of
Dyers and Coorists, it was siated that the wood pulp was made
into paper, then cut, rolled and twisted into a thread. (This was
done because ordinary spinning was impossible owing to the short-
ness of the fibre.) From this thread there were manufactured
tablecloths, hat bands, carpets, suitings, mata, and decorative
articles. Three shillingsworth of wood was worth 2. 5s. Od. as
paper yara, and 7. lOs. Od. as

THERMOMETER
The thermorneter is an instrumen for measuring the intensity
of
heat by means o the expansive properties o a liquid or gas. The
liquid found to be most suitable, and which is usuaiiy employed
is
mercury. An ordinary type o thermorneter consists o a spherica!
glass bulb at the end o a fine tube, the bulb being filled, and the
tube partly filled with mercury.
When a change in temperature takes place it is indicated by g,
rise or all o the mercury in the tube. graduated scale, calibrated
to show boiling and reezing points o water, is attached to the ther-
morneter, the interval between the two points being divided into a
certain number o divisions. On the centigrade
thermorneter the
distance between the two points is divided into 100; on the Reaumur
thermorneter, which is used chiely in the north-west o Eurooe
the distance between boiling and reezing points is divided into 80
o-
on the Fahrenheit thermorneter the distance is divided into 180
;
reezing point being 32 and boiling point 212.

CAN AMERICA GROW HER OWN RUBBER 1
Guayule, a native American rubber-producing shrub, is being
cultivated oa a large scale in Califrnia to-day.
Not until the last half o the nineteenth century was any additionai
utilisation o caoutchouc (rubber) tnade, when it began to be employed
in rain-coats, shoes, hose-pipes and other articles. No extended
demand, however, was made for it until iniammable gasoline,
coming as a by-product o oil-refining, was utilized. When the
internai combustion machine was bom, the general interest sbifted
from railways to highways.
Circular rubber tubes were attached to the rims of wheel3 ;
the
epoch o rubber was initiated.
The total American consumption of rubber requires 66 per cent.
o the world's production. 81 per cent. of the rubber coming into the
market every year is made into tyres.
With this material assuming such importance in daily life that it
ranks below only steel, sugar, textiles and wool, problema arise
which are not to be solved by statistics of population and production.
The American consumer, who uses more than half of the world pro-
duction, controls less than 1 per cent. of the tropical reas in which
rubber trees may be grown profitably. No part of this rea is within
the boundaries of the United States. A country so highly mecha-
nised would be nconvenienced or crippled by a serious interruption
of the rubber supply. The economic stability of a country depends
upon the degree to which it is self-rnaintenant as to its manufactures.
It depends also upon the main supplies of raw material within the
borders of the country. Cornmon sense, then, requires that other
plants .urnishing caoutchouc be exploited.

RED RIDING HOOD
There was once a little girl called Red Riding Hood, and one day
as she was playing in the garden her mother called her.
"
Poor
Granny is lying ill ia her cottage in the wood,*' she said,
"
I want
you to take her this basket full of good things."
" Of course 111 go, Mummy," said Red Riding Hood, and in a
very few minutes, away she started. But just as she reached the
lane, her mother called anxiously :
"
Mind you hurry, dear, don't
stop, and remember, don't talk to anyone you may meet."
Red Riding Hood promised to do as she was told, then of she ran
The lane was hot and dusty, and how glad she was when she reached
the shady wood ! The path was covered with soft green moss
and the birds were singing. " How lovely it is !
"
she cried.
She hurnmed to herself aa she danced along, and presently she
saw a squirrel risking about. Quite orgetting what her mother
had told her, she stopped to watch him, but when Busheytail caught
sight of her he soon scrambled up a fcall tree.

One day as Robin was walking with. his lady in the Forest, he saw
that his men had captured an Abbot, whom they had tied to a
tree like a feloa to wait their captam.
The Abbot was a tall a.nd handsome mau. Robin reed him and
t.ook hirn back to have supper with hm and his lady. Then after
the east, the men took out their bows to show their skill in shooting.
A garland o roses was tied between the trees and each rnan had
to shoot through a rose. Whoever ailed te hit the rose was given
a cuff on the ear by the next man.
When Robin ailed to hit the rose by a hair's breadth, he chose to
be cuffed by the Abbot aud there was much merrirnent in the camp

1. The Book.
Two men ound a book in the street at the same moment
5
and began to quarrel as to who should have it. A third man
was going past and asked :
"
Which o you knows how to
1
read
?
" "
Neither."
" Then why do you want the book?
You are
quarrelling in just the same way as two bald men
s
fought for a comb, though they themselves had nottung to
3
comb."

2. The Rich Man and the Poor Man.
> In one house there lived a rich man upstairs and a poor
i tailor
downstairs.
The tailor sang songs ali the time at work
and
prevented the rich man from sleepmg. The rich man
eave a sack of money to the tailor, so that he should not sing.
3 The tailor became rich and watched his money ali the time
1 but had ceased to sing. He had grown dull
;
he took.the
money and carried it back to the rich man and said : ' Take
''.
your money back and let me sing my songs again
;
for depression
!- lias befallen me."
3. The King and the Shirt.
A King was ill and said :
" I will give half of my kingdom
to the 'man who will cure me." Then ali the wise men assembled
b
and began to
consider how to cure him. No one knew. Only
a
one wise man said that it was possible to cure the king. He
i
gaid :
"
if a happy man can be found and the shirt be taken off
him and put on to the king, he will recover."
270
TEAGH YOURSELF RUSSIAN
The king sent people to search up and down his kingdora
for a happy man, but his envoys travelled a long time over the
whole country and could not find a happy man. There was
not a single one contented with everything. He who was rich,
was unwell ; he who was healthy, was poor. If anyone was
healthy and rich, too, then his wife was no good
;
yet another
had children who were no good. Ali complained of something
or other.
Once, late in the evening, the king's son was going past a
hut and heard someone saying :
"
There now, I have worked
hard and eten my fill and shall lie down to sleep. What
more do I need ?
"
The king's son was delighted ;
he ordered
the shirt to be taken ofi the man, money to be given him for
it as much as he wantedand the shirt to be taken to his
father. The envoys carne to the happy man and wanted to
take his shirt ot ; but the happy man was so poor that he
had not even a shirt on him.
4. WlNTER MORNING.
By A. S. Pushkin.
In that year autumnal weather stayed a long time in the
open. Nature waitedwaited or winter ;
only in January
dki the snow come down : during the third night. Awakening
early, Tatiana saw through the window in the morning the
yard
' become white, also the flower-beds, roofs and hedge
;
light rosted patterns on the window panes ; the trees clad in
wintry silver
;
gay magpies in the yard ; and the mountains
softly covered with winter's glistening carpet. Ali was bright
;
everything around was white.
5. Town Life.
Family Happmess, by L. N. Tolstoy.
Our journey to Petersourg ; a week in Moscow, his, and my
relatiyes; the settling in a new flat , the way ; new towns, faces
ali these passed like a dream. xt was ali so varied, new, and
gay ; it was ali so warmly and brightly lit by his presence, his
love,' that the quiet country life seemed to me (a thing) of long
ago,' insignificant To my great surprise, instead of society
prue and the coldness which I was expecting to find in people,
every one met me with such genuine tenderness and delight
(not only relatives but strangers, too) so that it appeared as
though they had ali been tlunking solely of me and had only
been waiting for me in order to feel happy themselves. Also
unexpeetedly for me my husband discovered, also in the Society
circle which seemed to me the best, many acquaintances about
KEY 271
whom he never used to speak to me ; and it was strange and

e
unpleasant to me to hear from him harsh judgments on some of
s
these people, who appeared to me to be so kind. I could not
j
understand why he treated them so coldly and tried to avoid
s
many acquaintances, whom I thought flattering. The more
r
kind people you knew, it seemed to me, the better, and they
o- were ali kind.
6. A Card Party.
a
The Queen o Spades, by A. S. Pushkin.
t
One day they were playing cards at the house of the Hofse
a Guard Narumov. The long winter night passed unnoticed.
j
They sat down to have supper towards five o'clock in the
morning. Those who had won ate with a big appetite. The
others sat listless, confronting their empty plates and glasses.
^
But champagne appeared, the conversation livened up, and
ali took part in it. " How did you get on, Surin ?
"
asked the
host.
"
I lost as usual. One must confess that I am unlucky.
When I play I never get heated
;
you cannot upset me with
anything, but still, ali the time I lose. And you were not
even once tempted ? You did not once stake on the red ?
ie To meyour firmnessissurprising."
" But look at Hermann I
"
y
said one of the guests, pointing to a young engineer. " He
,g
has never taken a card into his hand in his life, and there he
ie sits with us till five o'clock and watches our play." "The
i
;
play
interests me extremely," said Hermann
; "but I am not in
n a position to sacriice what is necessary in the hope of gaining
is what would be superfluous."
7. A Lovb Pem.
By A. S. Pushkin.
I loved you. Love still, perhaps, has not entirely perished
in my heart. But let it trouble you no more. I do not wish to
l
Y sadden you with anything. I loved you silently, hopelessly
;
~~
now pining from joy and now through jealousy. I loved
l.d
y
OU so sincerely, so tenderly, as God may grani that you
is
be loved by another.

8. The Inspector-General,.
e,
By N. V. Gogol.
as
Act 5. Scene 8.
ly
The Postmaster (in haste, with an unsealed letter in his hand).
so Postmaster : A surprising thing, gentlemen. The ofScia!
ty
whom we have taken for aii inspector was not an inspector.
at
Axx : What, not an inspector ?
272
Postmaster : Not an inspector at ali. I learned this from a
letter. , _
The Mayor : Whafs that ? What do you say ? From
what letter ?
Postmaster : Why, from his own letter. They brought a
letter to the post to me. I glanced at the address and saw :
"
To Post Office Street." I was simply dumbfounded. Well,
I thought to myself, certainly he has found irregularities in the
postal service and is informing the authorities. I took and
unsealed it.
Mayor : What I ?
Postmaster : I do not know myself. Some unnatural
force impelled me.
9.
"
Listening to the Horrors of War . .
."
By N. A. Nekrassov.
Listening to the horrors of war, with each new victim of the
fight, 1 pity not the friend and not the wife. I do not pity the
herohimself. Alas, the wife will console herself, and the best
friend will forget a friend. But there is a soul somewhere
who will remember till death. Amidst our hypocritical deeds
and every triviality of our prosaic life, I perceived the only
sacred, sincere tears in the worldthe tears of the poor mothers.
They annot forget their children who have perished on the
field of the bloody harvest, like unto the weeping willow that
cannot raise its drooping boughs.
10. WS SHALL STILL BE FIGHTING.
By I. S. Turgenev.
What an insignificant trine can at times rebuild the whole
man. Lost in thought, I was going once along a main road.
Heavy presentiment oppressed my heart. Sadness was taking
possession of me. I raised my head. Before me, between two
rows of tall poplars, the road stretched away into the distance
straight as an arrow. And across it, across this very road, ten
paces from me, ali gilded with the bright summer sun, a whole
family of sparrows was hopping in line. hopping perkily,
amusingly, self-confidently. One of them especially was
pressing along sideways, swelling out its crop and twittering
cheekily, as f it feared not the devil himself. A conqueror.
But, ali the time, high in the sky circled a hawk, who was,
perhaps, destined to devour just this very conqueror. I took
a look, laughed out, and shook myself. In a moment, my sad
thoughts had fiown away ; I felt courageous daring, and a wish
to live. Let my hawk circle over me. We shall still keep
fighting, Devil take it
!
