      Добрый день, Enzo.

      Хорошо. К сожалению, выпуски на следующий месяц уже записаны, но все новые мы постараемся произносить помедленнее.

      Спасибо за обратную связь.

  1. Hello, is де́лится in the second example used as passive? I know делить can mean divide or share. What is the difference between делить(ся) and разделить(ся) in meaning divide?

    • Learn Russian Words says:

      Hello Anita,

      Делится is a reflexive verb. It can be literally translated as “it divides itself”.

      Reflexive verbs are a different way to do passive in Russian. You can learn more about them here.

      Делить(ся) is an imperfecive verb, разделить(ся) is perfective.

      – Делить на ноль нельзя.
      You cannot divide by zero. (generic action, imperfective)

      – Раздели 8 на 2.
      Divide 8 by 2. (do it now, one-time action, perfective)
