In this case correct is "Брат Стефана and "Брат Стефана sounds for me like it was said by a bushman. Edited by Enrico on 02 September 2014 at 6:08am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

To answer your question, the assertion that you don't hear endings is nonsense.
Some of them are similar sounding, but there's no sounds getting dropped. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Last night, I was discussing the sounds of Russian endings with my Russian wife (who moved to the US in 2010).
I was listening to an Eko Moskvi podcast and there were a couple of words that sounded clipped at the end (I wish I could remember the words). I asked my wife and she responded, "Well, some words are so common that they get said super fast and the endings kinda get blurred or clipped at the end" However, there are also words that appear blurred to a student (at least for me) but are perfectly clear to a native speaker. We discussed 2 forms of серия:: серий серии Of course, she could easily distinguish between the two. However, when she said the words quickly in a sentence I could not tell the difference. What makes this awful is that I was expecting the word ending changes and still couldn't really tell the difference. This makes me think that it will be absolutely impossible for me to train my ear to hear in a random native fast conversation. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

What exactly do you mean by distinguish? Could she hear the difference in isolation? Could she tell which is which from the context? Do you just mean there's a clear difference in how she pronounces them?
Also, my theory is that we pronounce the words that end in consonants with a lower pitch than the words ending in vowels. Of course the overall intonation of the sentence can also matter here. Edited by Serpent on 19 September 2014 at 4:32am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
