where does Duolingo get these translations/audios because the speaker is sometimes excited about some words and not about all of them.. why not be excited about them all ..and then record them in different emotions.. thatd be interesting .. jealously "radio."
right? the danish woman gets angry when she finds out that men have potatoes. it's funny though, I guess that helps us remember
She sounds as she asks a question. It is not exactly right for a statement. (native russian)
UPD 2017-12-07. Now it sounds well.
Just as there are accents across any other country or continent: deep south United States, New England, into Canada, etc... I'm sure it varies when you leave Moscow. Plus any of the former Soviet countries that held entirely different languages previous to the USSR.
It does distinguish between singular and plural. However радио is an indeclinable noun so the spelling stays the same regardless of number or case.
Thank you for the answer, and the term"indeclinable noun". Looking that up was extremely helpful.
Аналогично. Мне он не принял сказанное чётко ра-ди-О. А разве кто-то говорит «радиа»? Да, безударная «о» звучит как «а», но не во всех словах. «Поэт» нормально говорить через [o], так и «радио» тоже.
Согласен, тоже коробит от такого произношения "радиа" или "радия". Не говорит так никто.
Can I speak Russian properly if I can't roll my R? I've been trying for about a year now and I just can't grasp it.
I do not know how essential it is to roll the "R". But there is a trick independant from the language. Use words of your own language with a "dr" or "br" like draw, drew, brew brown and train it. Than speak or think a little "d" before the rolling "R", that my help you.

Suddenly became a native russian/spainard/dutch...etc thank u sooooooo much cheers
There are native speakers who can't roll their R's. Lenin, for example, didn't have rolled R. I'd say it's more important to get the difference between "hard" and "soft" (palatalized) consonants.
I can't roll my 'R''s either. They'll still understand you but it's somewhat like having a small speech impendement. At least according to my Russian S/O and my inlaws. They find my inability to roll my Rs hilarious...:( I just accept the English accent which I shall always have!

You can also develop the muscles for it this way: put a small candy on your tongue near the tip, then fold your tongue over it (you can use your teeth or other parts of your mouth to help if necessary).
Play with the candy like that, folding your tongue over it, until your tongue starts to feel a little warm.
It sounds weird but I do it sometimes (a teacher suggested it to the class once) and it does help. It's like a mini workout for your tongue.

She pronounces radio wrong. It is a loan word and i have heard native Russians say it with a long "o."
WHO pronounces it like [радиА]or [радя]? Yes, "o" is unstressed, but we say [радио]
The only selectable answer was "radios" (plural), so i selected it and got it right.

Dont lean on hints. They often dont put correct ones as you progress and after they have had you practice it enough times. Sometimes you can also check the words below that come up. Otherwise, if you get it wrong, learn from that. Repetition repitition.

For some reason on my phone I heard radia. Since radio was all we were taught i got it correct. Really sounds like радие though.
Just started the Russian tree, but when I was first introduced to "радио" earlier in this lesson it was spelled with an accent (I believe over the letter "а"). However, here it is not. What are the rules for using accents in Russian writing?
Accents are generally used in material for learners to indicate which vowel is stressed. Otherwise, accents are not used in Russian writing.
If it wasn't for Duo saying the word, I would have put it Cyrillic when it was asking for an English translation.
I didn't pay attention to what she said, I saw "radio" and entered "радио" and it said I was wrong. Which is doubly weird, because, why can the questions be in either alphabet but the answer can't? Also, why use the wrong alphabet in the "Alphabet" lesson? I had to on my phone, but forgot to switch it back to cyrillic today.
Why radio is written as радио? Why not родио? As we've learnt unstressed o and a in a syllable is pronounced as a/ah!!!
I was wondering the same thing. To me, the О in Радио sounds like the stressed "Oh" here, even though the А is definitely the stressed vowel. Could it be because radio is an imported Word like Такси which is irregular in several ways, or is the TTS just pronouncing it weird?
The first syllable is stressed, so the first vow must be "a" and not "o" to actually sound like "a".
man, I hate having to switch between the Russian keyboard and the English, mainly because I don't have Cyrillic letters on my keyboard so i have to memorize the characters SMH
Is the sound at the beginning of the word "radio" a "g" sound or is it just rolling the "r"?
How do we write these answers???? I've had english responses lately but am not sure about the future ones...
I changed my keyboard's language so that i write in russian, but how do i put the intonation marks on the words?
Радё doesn't exist in Russian, so we can't pronounce that "ио" in the end of it like ё. It's ра-ди-о (3 syllables).
Translate this text: "radio". ia am translate - радио. true answer - radios. What??? How to distinguish a word in Russian from a word in English, if they are written in English letters?

It's how I was finally able to do it. P before it helps too. Someone suggested to say the prince of Prussia while trying to roll the r. After the 4th try it happened.
This word can be translated to latin quickly "радио" the p is r, a is a, д is d, и is i, o is o. Serbian has a latin/cyrllic writing system, which you can use to translate many (not all) cyrillic Russian words into latin
How is "o" pronounced in this word? I hear the "o" as more like "e" in the word example
Does the "o" in Russian supposed to sound like the English o or like the English a. I think. I've heard both?
- 293
When o isnt the accented syllable its usually pronounced like a. I've been told o is always pronounced like o in the northern areas. So with радио, its accent is on ра and not on the o. Sounds like RAdya.
Needs phonetic pronunciation because i feel like I'm saying it right but i must be missing something.
You can look it up on Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BE#Russian
hi. I am having trouble writing the Russian words from English, as I don't have the correct keyboard. does anyone know how to help please?
We need a keyboard option for the Cyrillic alphabet for those using a computer. Right now, I need to go look up a Cyrillic keyboard and type the word in there and then copy and paste it into Duolingo. So inconvenient.
You will need to look up how to install this keyboard option on your specific device.
How do I type radio in russian without a russian keyboard? It counted me wrong typing it out as english sounds I.E. Radya
Are there capital letters in Russian? I notice some characters resemble capital English letters, such as И in radio, regardless of its placement in a sentence.
- 735
Yes. The capital letters are taller. Most look just like their lowercase counterpart, with just a few exceptions.

Onde está o ALFABETO russo? O que ouvi foi (paAno) no meu alfabeto. O correto é радио... MAS... ONDE ESTÁ O ALFABETO NO exercício, assim como tem no ESPERANTO???? Se puderem resolver logo, agradeço. Se não tiver, vou desistir... porque acusa "resposta errada".

Excuse-me. Where is the RUSSIAN ALPHABET like is in SPERANTO? I wrote (paAno) because there is no conditions to write (радио)... ok??? I need to continue, but the answer is "wrong!"... Please...
- 574
Очень благодарен! Я не знаю, как получить русскую клавиатуру. Я остановился, пока не знал, КАК я это сделаю. Спасибо

I love that he sounds like he wants to take that radio and hit someone on the head with it!

DUOLINGO: Excuse-me. Where is the RUSSIAN ALPHABET like is in SPERANTO? I wrote (paAno) because there is no conditions to write (радио)... ok??? I need to continue, but the answer is "wrong!"... Please...

Hello! The problem is write Russian without caracteres in my laptop. So, I implored to DUOLINGO send cartacteres below the exercices... and nothing! I wait that they resolv this question urgently.
Canadian here, anyone else have extreme difficulty with г letter words. The voice to text on my phone and the voice thing on Duolingo really hates me and thinks my r sounds like a V sound haha. I can do a German R all day long but Russian not at all.

Many thanks! I need the russian keyboard !!! when I learn Esperanto, there is an auxiliary keyboard in Duolingo ... Espanol, too ... so ... I wanted a keyboard in RUSSIAN ... because my keyboard in PORTUGUESE does not have certain characters. I even stopped studying DUOLINGO RUSSO ... :(

Когда же исправят произношение слова радио? Прошло больше года. Служба поддержки дискредитирует себя.
I typed радй and it still marked it correctly. Does anyone know if the two are interchangeable or is it just on Duolingo?
- 293
Sometimes the bot gets impatient and just decides to say correct. There have been times in a sentence or audio I did the first few words and it said correct. Радио is just radio, doesnt change.
Here it's pronounced "радиО", in other duolingo audios it's "радиА". Which one is correct? Or are both okay?
It's always радиО, it's pronounced incorrectly on some of the sentences unfortunately.
- 293
You should normally hear radia even though spelled радио. I'm not a native speaker but the accent from Moscow pronounces unstressed o as a. However in the north, parts of Siberia?, they always pronounce o as o. Right???
do you have to roll your tongue between the p and a? and is there a certain rule of speaking of when to roll your tongue?
The word radio has an s at the end. I don't think they meant to make that plural.
I'm Brazilian , I'm doing from English into Russian because it has available to Portuguese . But I can say that many words in Russian are similar to the Portuguese , I think me being easier
- 293
When I hear Russian in a noisy area where I cant distinguish what is being said, I think its Portuguese and the other way around. However, Portuguese took only a year for me to be conversational. Russian? after 15 years it's still а struggle. Congratulations on trying to learn it with another language!
In the multiple choice answers there was a typo for me. It said "radios" (plural) instead of singular
Why did it say radios was an accepted answer? I was doing the word bank excercise.
My options are faulty, it says радио means "radios" (plural), not "radio" (singular)
- 293
Options are not answers. They are good bad or no possible answers. They are most helpful when introduced. After a while duo wants you to say hey, none of these are correct and type in what you have learned.
