Hi Russian learners,
In today's lesson you will learn about the punctuation in Russian.

Russian punctuation has some important particularities.

Here are the main ones:

.

Comma

It should be used to separate the main proposition from the subordinate:

  • I do not understand what you are talking about. = Я не понимаю, о чём вы говорите.


On the other hand, we do not put it after a circumstantial complement, if it is placed at the beginning of the sentence:

  • Last year, we went to Russia. = В прошлом году мы ездили в Россию. 

Dash

It replaces the verb to be in the present between two nouns.

  • Sonia is Vania's sister. Соня — сестра Вани


However, we don't put it between a pronoun and a noun, or a noun and an adjective

  • He's an engineer. = Он инженер.
  • Katia is beautiful = Катя красивая
