Domo in Portuguese means the english word dome, a specific type of roof, that is essence of a shelter. It seems to me to be all related.
Definitely. They traced back where languages originate from and dont be surprised words can sound and mean the same
Idk if u can c this but if you hold the microphone button down, you will see a gear. Click that gear and it will bring up input languages, you will want to select "Русский" the Russian word for Russian. Thats it, have a great day!!
Microphone or emoji. I don't have the micro enabled so it shows a little face. If the settings button has been pressed recently it will probably show the gear directly.
Yea sure proto indo european since europe and india are neighbours w. nothing but places to debauch/mutilate and get cheap oil from, in the middle. Or Mesopotamia, another fictional made up word that was never a name of anyplace connected to reality. I guess those in the world/West who r proud of skintones and aggressive terizing others or colonizing & theft would rather let their Saudi "allies" bleed their own citizens and children or eat from toilet bowls than accept that Iran, a place that still exists as 1/5th the size it was long ago, was/is the source of 70% of world languages today since that would be so offensive to the Western and World's losers, who would do anything to belittle anyone to get things they want including rights, respect, & credit or material rewards, that may be associated w. others besides them. Although I would never go to such ridiculous lengths and distances to ruin any nation or culture by renaming everything decent about them into other fictional names just to belittle and degrade them and any small or big positive aspect, feature, or past/present achievement(s) they may have!

PIE is not the source of 70% of the languages or of the native speakers of given languages. There are abut 445 living IE languages, whereas there are about 6,500 spoken languages (plus some hundred or three sign languages). About 46% of the world speaks an Indo-European language as the native language.
Now who is offensive, aggressive, going to ridiculous lenghts, over-generalizing, and even factually wrong about linguistics and history of languages?

It means that it is pronounced as part of the same syllable as the previous vowel. So мой is pronounced 'moy' with one syllable while мои is pronounced 'mo-i' with two syllables. In Russian, и and й are considered to be two separate letters.
For those familiar with the term, this is called a diphthong. I like to think of й as the diphthong letter and just automatically mash it with the preceding vowel.
It is called breve (кратка) and indicates a short vovel. In Russian there is only single letter with a breve (Йй), which is the short version of Ии.
Like Ыы, the letter Йй at the beginning of words is only used in non-cyrillic names and toponyms.
What's the difference between this "мой" and the one in a later lesson "моя"? They both mean "my" in English no?
Мой goes with masculine nouns, as in мой папа, мой брат... Моя is feminine, e. g. моя мама, мояа систра...
мой is something like "moy".
моя is something like "mayah", with the -yah part being stressed.
OmG, Slavic language is my native language and because of that I have urge to write in my language, not in English, when I learn Russian haha..does anyone else have that "problem"?
Definitely, my native language is not Slavic but I still feel like sometimes I wanna write in my native language instead of English :-)
Yeah, although it sounds more like "moy" if you hover over it to have it pronounce only мой
Yeah, agree. And one can use Google Translate for listening the pronunciation too (computer voice).

The difference is a gender.
"мой" is masculine, "моя" is feminine, "моё" is neuter. And "мои" is plural form.
мой муж, мой сын, мой дом - my husband, my son, my house.
моя жена, моя дочь, моя жизнь - my wife, my daughter, my life
моё слово, моё мнение, моё решение - my word, my opinion, my decision.
мои дома, мои дочери, мои слова - my houses, my daughters, my words
Of course. If the "house" is masculine, though, you have to use мой дом.
In Russian, дом is a masculine noun. Typically, a noun that ends in a consonant in the base form, is masculine.
Bad sound. She speaks too quickly and "swallows" the "й". It sounds like "мудом" but it's wrong and there are no such word. I'm native Russian speaker. https://ru.forvo.com/word/мой_дом/#ru
In what case would you use домой? My russian friends often say эдо домой to eachother to poke fun. Help

Домой answers the question "where to?" (куда?) and implies moving towards home. I guess your friends are saying "Иду домой" (I'm going home) or "Идём домой" (We're going home/Let's go home). There is also "дома" (with the first syllable stressed) that answers the question "where?" (где?) and means "at home". Hope that helps.
The one time I have seen it used it with verbs of motion when my Russian instructor changed my sentence from "Я должна поехать дома" to "Я должна поехать домой" (sentence roughly translating to: I must go -by transport- to my house." We haven't yet gone over verbs of motion (i jsut like looking ahead) but I believe that is where it is used.
Can someone help me in declension of мой? The genitive is моего. Is it pronounced as "moyego" or "moyevo"?

When 'o' is unstressed, it is pronounced like an 'a'.' When it is stressed, it is pronounced like 'o' or 'aw.' I guess it is stressed in all one-syllable words. In words with more than one syllable, we have to just learn where the stress is.
моя - feminine gender
мой - masculine
моё - neuter
дом - masculine, so you have to use мой
It's really hillarious to me because this kinda sounds like mudeom in korean, which means grave
When you get yourself saying "это мой дом indeed"
even tho none of both is your first language
The way this guy teach Cyrillic is awesome if on Android
