14 - Russian names

In this episode of the Slow Russian Podcast we are talking about Russian names. There are hundreds of them (not only Ivan, Boris and Natasha;)). Sometimes Russian names might seem really strange and complicated. So here we are trying to find the reasons why it is like that. And as usual many interesting new words for you. Enjoy!

Русские имена почему-то очень часто удивляют иностранцев. Дело в том, что почти каждое русское имя имеет две формы – официальную и повседневную. Например, моё имя Дарья, но чаще всего меня зовут Даша. То же самое с остальными именами: Мария – это Маша, Павел – это Паша, Виктор – это Витя и так далее. Некоторые имена не меняются – например, Марина.
Кроме того, в России у каждого человека есть не только имя и фамилия, но и отчество. Оно образуется от имени отца. Например, моего папу зовут Сергей, поэтому моё отчество – Сергеевна. Дарья Сергеевна. Полное имя, то есть фамилия, имя и отчество, используется в большинстве официальных документов. Кроме того, незнакомые люди обращаются друг к другу по имени и отчеству (например, на работе). Молодые обращаются по имени и отчеству к старшим.
В неформальных ситуациях мы обычно называем друг друга только по имени.
