Relationships and Marital Status[edit | edit source]

Welcome to the lesson on relationships and marital status in Russian! In this lesson, we will learn vocabulary related to different types of relationships and marital status. Understanding these terms will help you communicate and describe your own relationships or ask about someone else's. So, let's get started!

Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

Here is the vocabulary for relationships and marital status:

Russian	Pronunciation	English
одинокий	a-dee-NA-kee	single
женатый	zhee-NA-tee	married (for a man)
замужем	za-mu-ZHEM	married (for a woman)
разведенный	raz-vee-DEN-niy	divorced
вдовец	vdah-VETS	widower
вдова	vdoh-VAH	widow

Usage[edit | edit source]

Now, let's see how these words are used in sentences:

Я одинокий. (Ya a-dee-NA-kee) - I am single.
Он женатый. (On zhee-NA-tee) - He is married.
Она замужем. (Ana za-mu-ZHEM) - She is married.
Мой друг разведенный. (Moy droog raz-vee-DEN-niy) - My friend is divorced.
Он вдовец. (On vdah-VETS) - He is a widower.
Она вдова. (Ana vdoh-VAH) - She is a widow.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Russian culture, family holds a significant place. Marriage is considered an important institution, and the family unit is highly valued. Traditionally, it is common for Russians to get married at a young age and start a family. However, with changing times, the age at which people marry has increased, and many individuals choose to focus on their education and careers before tying the knot.

Divorce rates have also increased in recent years, and divorce is now more socially accepted than it was in the past. It is important to note that the terms "женатый" (zhee-NA-tee) and "замужем" (za-mu-ZHEM) are used specifically to describe marital status, whereas "разведенный" (raz-vee-DEN-niy) is used to indicate divorce. The terms "вдовец" (vdah-VETS) and "вдова" (vdoh-VAH) are used to describe someone who has lost their spouse due to death.

Practice[edit | edit source]

Now it's time to practice! Translate the following sentences into Russian:

1. She is single. 2. Are you married? 3. He is divorced. 4. My grandfather is a widower. 5. Are they married?

Here are the answers:

1. Она одинокая. (Ana a-dee-NA-ka-ya) 2. Ты женатый? (Ti zhee-NA-tee) 3. Он разведенный. (On raz-vee-DEN-niy) 4. Мой дедушка вдовец. (Moy dyedushka vdah-VETS) 5. Они замужем? (Oni za-mu-ZHEM)

Great job! Keep practicing to reinforce your knowledge of these vocabulary words.
