"Всё меняется."

Translation: Everything changes.

[Alexander907403]

Война... Война никогда не меняется.

[CarlSailor]

Я тоже так думал!

[sebool112]

Война... изменилась.

[duolingoHepCat]

Does it seem weird to anyone else that the first four letters of the word "changes" (меняется) spell "me" (меня)?

[Rekty]

Thanks for the tip to remember the word... sort of. I still don't know why it has меня in front tho! :p

Good life lesson, nonetheless! The change starts from you!

[BenMedved]

менять-to change...меняется-reflexive, so "changes itself" всё меняется- everything changes itself?

[not_a_thing]

Can't spell "change" without "me", I guess

[David917415]

duolingoHepCat, I noticed that, too. It made me wonder whether "всё меняется" really means "everything is about me"!

[Kundoo]

It doesn't. The similarity is incidental.

[ByronneKam]

is there are difference between меняться and изменяться in the meaning?

[bleepandbloop]

well, I read somewhere that the verbal prefix "из" can mean the absolute completion of something, or directed from within. Without looking it up, изменяться probably means totally changed.

[Izmeina1]

Изменяться is this serpent's favorite Russian verb ;)

[NadavHollander]

Omnia mutantur, nihil interit ("Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost" as translated in The Sandman comics)

[kpagcha]

How is "всё" pronounced? It should be /vsyo/ right? But the audios always say something like /syo/ or /ssyo/ when this word appears.

[mosfet07]

It's actually "фсё", with voiceless "в", therefore it is hard to hear the first consonant.

[Istorik1129]

Да, читай Гераклит.

Would 'everyone changes' also be a valid translation?

[Kundoo]

No that would be "Все меняются". It looks similar, but "все" has "е" instead of "ё" and is plural.

[L99426]

I first translated it as "everything is changing", instead of "everything changes". What would these two sentences look like in Russian? Is there a difference in connotation? Thank you.

[dfggh4]

I don't know about the russian, but in english 1 means currently, and 2 means in general.

[dfggh4]

I'm still waiting for "everybody hurts!"

[DonaldYTKA]

Rocky said that when in USSR

[80s_persona]

Everything changes but you
