The letter I in the Russian alphabet: history, articulation, riddles

Today the letter Y is with us.

An interesting analogy: a person who wants to isolate himself (put himself first), as a rule, says left and right: “I did this…. I am so and so... I... I... I...".

And those listening to him with a grin (well, or with indignation) snapped: “I am the last letter in the alphabet .

What do they mean by this?

But they want to say that you should not stick your head out with your omnipresent “I”, because you need to be quicker in life.

And I decided to get to know “I” better. I learned a lot of interesting things about her, so I decided to introduce you to her.

When did the removal of letters from the alphabet begin?

During the period of Soviet power, it was decided to move the letter “Ya” to the last place, since “Izhitsa” was practically no longer used by that time.

Only in church texts could one see it. It is interesting that the Bolsheviks did not react to the removal of Izhitsa from the alphabet; then it seemed to everyone that the authorities had decided to simply abandon one of the sacraments - confirmation.

After all, Izhitsa was used in the word “mirro”. And having abandoned the letter that is part of this word, it seemed to many that the very giving of the gifts of the Holy Spirit was abolished as a means of strengthening his spiritual life.

The removal of “Izhitsa” was not documented, but the elimination of “fita” became the final appointment of the letter Ya as the final letter of the Russian alphabet.

Pronunciation and spelling of "I"

If we listen to the sound of the letter and pronounce it for a long time, we will hear the following sounds [y-a-a-a-a-a-a].

If a letter stretches when sounded, it is a vowel.

The letter I consists of two sounds, a short consonant sound [th] and a vowel sound [a], and it can be sung. This sound feature is called iotation.

I = [й′] [a] - this is how the sounds included in the letter I are designated in transcription.

We see that there is one letter, and there are two sounds in it, one of which Yot is a consonant. In writing it is designated as Y, which is why it is called iotized.

At the beginning of a word or after vowels and separators, we hear the consonant J, and then the vowel sound A.

After consonants, I often softens them: blunder. Here L is pronounced softly thanks to Ya.

But this is only if “I” is in the position of a stressed syllable.

In the unstressed position, “I” seems to repeat the sounds E and I: fields - field.

If I is heard after hissing (ch, sch, sh, zh), guttural (x, g, k), after c, this does not mean that it is written after them. Not at all. We write “a” in these cases.

This rule does not apply only to foreign words, such as: Siauliai, Djakovitsa, Mkrtchyan, etc. Here we write “I” even after sibilants.

The letter “I” in a word is a separate syllable, in a sentence it is an independent word. In some cases, the letter I appears as a whole sentence, for example:

— Who will go to the museum next week?

- I!

Poems about the letter I

This letter is clear, bright, beautiful. My letter loves all the words where the letter I is.

Both at the beginning and at the end: Both on the Yacht and in the Egg. In the fields - here in the middle. Ali has it, Nina doesn’t.

Look carefully - the letter is interesting!

***

The letter I lived in an egg. At the beginning of the word, not at the end. And then, such a thief, multiplied in the word “Lala”.

All vowels survived. And there are consonants nearby. In “lyalya” I got used to it, I became friends with the consonant L.
