👋Приветствую, товарищи! Ну что, по хардкору?

🔻There are two conjugation types of Russian verbs: FIRST and SECOND. To know the conjugation type is important to choose to right ending of the verb.

🔻The FIRST conjugation in Russian encompasses the vast majority of verbs ending (in infinitive) in -ЕТЬ, -АТЬ, -ОТЬ, -УТЬ.

❗Though ending in -ИТЬ, брить (to shave) and стелить (to cover) are exceptions and belong to the FIRST conjugation verbs.

🔻Present Tense endings (Indicative Mood) (the endings are applied to the verb stem):

1. I ... -У, -Ю
2. You (singular) ... -ЕШЬ/-ЁШЬ
3. (S)he/it ... -ЕТ/-ЁТ
4. We ... -ЕМ/-ЁМ
5. You (plural/polite) ... - EТЕ/-ЁТЕ
6. They ... -УТ/ЮТ 

🔻Let's take the FIRST conjugation verb читать (to read) (see the video):

1. Я чита+ю
2. Ты чита+ешь
3. Он/она/оно чита+ет
4. Мы чита+ем
5. Вы чита+ете
6. Они чита+ют

📎 Practice makes рerfect! Try conjugating various verbs, creating sentences, and stay strong, comrades!

The post about the SECOND conjugation type is coming.

An online video demonstrating how to dye Easter eggs with red wine has become viral. 

The only thing: keep the wine in the pot, not in yourself!

🔻Here's how:

⚡️Pour any red wine into a pot with red eggs.

⚡️Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

⚡️Then cool and put the pot with the eggs and wine into the fridge (not freezer!) for the night.

⚡️In the morning, place them on paper towels to dry.

⚡️The result is matte, shimmering Easter eggs with an unusual color.

🐣Happy Easter to all!
