For many foreigners learning Russian, hissing sounds are a serious stumbling block. For example, in Spanish The sounds “zh” and “sh” are completely absent, so the name Natasha, so popular in Latin America, is pronounced by local residents as “Natacha”. But writing letters after sibilants is also difficult for native Russian speakers, especially for schoolchildren. The Russian language school course covers numerous examples to this rule.

Typically, children are offered exercises on the topic: “Insert the missing letters and justify your choice.” But many schoolchildren cannot insert the correct letter and get lost. Why is this happening? The specificity of the hissing “zh” and “sh” is such that any sound denoting a vowel letter and coming after them sounds hard. For example, “e” after “zh” and “sh” sounds like “o”; there is simply no other pronunciation option.

According to established spelling standards, people pronounce [zholty], not [zh’olty], the same thing in the words - “millet”, “went”, “whisper”. Therefore, in order to correctly write a vowel after hard hissing “sh”, “zh”, you cannot rely on hearing. You need to learn the rules.

When is it appropriate to write O

This is a question that is devoted to a separate section in the Russian language course. high school. First of all, for correct spelling you need to highlight the root. The rule says that “o” is written in the so-called vocabulary words, for which it is impossible to select test ones with the letter “е” in the root.

Most of them are foreign, but there are also native Russians among them. Here are typical examples:

  • Major (a word of Latin origin meaning “chief”, “large”).
  • Gooseberry (a Russian word that may have come from the Polish word "krzh" - "cross", due to the cross-shaped leaves of this berry plant).
  • Glutton (originally Russian) and its cognate word “zhor” - “increased appetite.” Usually the word “zhor” is used in relation to fish that actively bites, and very rarely - in relation to a person, with irony.
  • Names foreign origin: Zhora (diminutive of the name George, French version - Georges, English - George).

Spelling Ё at the root of a word

The vowel “е” is written if a test word can be found for the word in which the “e” is clearly heard. Here textbook examples, familiar to all junior schoolchildren in grades 3–4:

  • Whisper - whisper, whisper.
  • Walked, came - walked, came.
  • Yellow - turn yellow.
  • Millet - millet.

It should be borne in mind that before 1917, spelling rules were slightly different, therefore, in books published before the revolution, and some time after it, you can find a completely different spelling: “whisper”, “arrived”. If fragments from old books are used as educational material for schoolchildren, such words should be footnoted and written in the footnote: “in accordance with the old spelling.”

And also “erroneous” spelling of vowels is sometimes found among poets. For example, Alexander Blok in his poem “Factory” writes: “In the neighboring house the windows are zsolt.” Poet deliberately makes a mistake, because the word “yellow”, written with the letter “o”, helps to most accurately convey the unpleasant situation in the “residential area” where the factory is located. This is poetic license, an intentional misspelling used as a means artistic expression. This detail must be taken into account when analyzing the poem in literature lessons.

Determining correct spelling

There is one more important rule writing “o” or “e” after hissing words. If a noun and a verb sound the same, then “o” is written in the noun, and “e” in the verb. For example:

  • I got a burn. But: I burned my hand with boiling water.
  • Ivan was arrested for arson. Out of jealousy, he set fire to his neighbor's house.
  • Charcoal burner (an obsolete name for the profession).
  • Perezhogin (surname). But: During the war, grandfather burned all the furniture in the stove.
  • Heartburn.

In order for students to understand this rule well, the following exercise will be effective: make up your own sentences with pairs of words (“arson” - “set fire”, “burn” - “burned”).

In suffixes

And also the “stumbling block” for schoolchildren is often the vowels “o” and “e” after sibilants in suffixes. A simple rule applies here: if a noun is formed from a participle, then “е” is written in the suffix. Examples: condensed milk (“condensed milk”), stew (“ beef stew"), zhzhenka ("burnt sugar"). In other cases it is written “o”: “darling”, “old woman”, “nag”. However, according to the rules of the old spelling, in old books you can find the spelling “tushonka”, “zhonka”. This needs to be taken into account when working with old-style books.

Modern rules for writing “o” and “e” after hissing words at the root of a word were officially introduced relatively recently. Students need practice to master them. The skills acquired in practical classes should be consolidated with the help of dictations, independent and verification work, essays and presentations.

In order to correctly write “o” and “e” after hissing words, you should remember the rule and relate it to specific word. After this, it is necessary to draw a conclusion, in accordance with the rule, about which letter is suitable in this case. You should not rely on hearing, because insidious “hissers” can mislead with their firm pronunciation. In addition, we should not forget about the features of the old spelling. The words “whisper” and “shol” in books do not mean that the author was illiterate, but that the work was written a long time ago.
