Paragrassmann algebras with one and many paragrassmann variables are considered from the algebraic point of view without using the Green ansatz. A differential operator with respect to paragrassmann variable and a covariant para-super-derivative are introduced giving a natural generalization of the Grassmann calculus to a paragrassmann one. Deep relations between paragrassmann algebras and quantum groups with deformation parameters being root of unity are established.
