Thread: Need help with a word

On the channel Теленяня there is an exercise show I believe is called наташа поздравляет. Every time they do an exercise she uses a word that sounds like "roose" then she continues with два, три, четыре which i know is 2, 3, 4, but I have no idea what the first word is and sounding it out to get the spelling (рус?) has turned up nothing. Any ideas?

Раз(1), два(2), три(3) and so forth

Firstly Спасибо, but I thought one was один and Раз was once? Why would she say once, two, three, four?

No, here it means "один," it's a special word for counting. In this meaning "раз" is indeclinable. Germans also have something like this: for "one" in "one, two, three, ..." they use "eins," not "ein" or something.
I would recommend you to use dictionaries. It's the first meaning of the word "раз," you could easily find it yourself.

раз
1. РАЗ, -а (-у); мн. разы, раз; м. I. числ. колич.
=Один (при счёте). Раз, два, три...

Ok, in this dictionary the first one, in Ozhegov's it's the third meaning and here it's the second one. Anyway. )

Again Спасибо. That makes more sense. I did try to use a dictionary but my Russian is very very beginner and I was having trouble understanding the definitions.

Ok. ) Пожалуйста.

Раз на раз не приходится!
