Dimitry is absolutely lovely person! To all of you, who trying to learn Russian. The letter ¨ doesn’t exist any more in written Russian after 1972 Academy Language revision. But the same time it’s not prohibited for usage. Just disregard it and use only E in your Russian writing.
The only difference it makes for foreigners – it helps to pronounce correctly a word if you reading loudly in public. (If you don’t pronounce it correctly, when reading by yourself – who cares!)
For example in modern Russian you see the word ÒÅÏËÛÉ (warm). The way you would pronounce it t y E p l i y. And only native speakers know, that you have to say t y O p l I y. So the letter E pronounce like Y-E-E-E and letter ¨ pronounce like Y-O-O-O
That’s it!!!! No complications and no deep meaning. The letter was created for the sake of correct reflection of the pronunciation. Russians don’t write any more ¨ëêà, they write Åëêà.
Just say it write – like when you see Bush don’t say Bosh.
Dmitry, you probably remember, that the letter ¨ always in any words MUST be emphasized. Anyway – you are lovely and the best on this forum.
