    Howdy!

    Hello All!

    My name is Max. I am 13 years old, and I take Russian as a academic course. I am entering my second year, and wish to make friends that share this interest with me. I would also like to help (and in turn be helped) with any difficulties that may arise in the course of studying.

    I like to fool around on my computer, play Magic and DDR.

    Oh yeah, Русское Радио, очен хорошо!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Ask any question you want about Russian language and I will provide an answer. (It may not be the correct answer, but I will try )

    If, I will go to the market is (or I think it is):

    я буду иди в маркете.

    How do you say:

    I have gone to the market.


    What is the past tense of Будить?

    [EDIT]

    Please correct my grammar.
    "...но, все будет хорошо..."

    The л sound is used for the past tense so get used to it.

    л Masc.
    ло Neut.
    ли Plural
    ла Fem.

    I get more results when I google "в рынок" than "на рынок". There still both over 1.8 million though and only differ by 20,000... Do they both work?

    And why сходить?

    "На рынок" would be correct in this case. "В рынок" would make sense if you have entered the main market's building (people use the word "рынок" to define it as well).

    "Сходил" is because it's a perfect tense. You have already gone to market. "Ходил" is also possible if you indicate exact time when it was happened. Like:

    "Я ходил на рынок сегодня" и "Я сходил на рынок сегодня" would have the same meaning.

    But "Я ходил на рынок" и "Я сходил на рынок" have different meanings IMHO

    I get that its perfective, but why the с- form. The regular perfective is just походить.

    Nobody says so.

    Darobat, you were confused by google results of "в рынок", where "рынок" doesn't mean "a building" but "the market", i.e. "валютный рынок", "рынок недвижимости" and so on.

    I will go to the market:
    Я буду ходить в рынок.

    I have gone to the market.
    Я ходил в рынок.

    The past tense of будить is будил/будила/будило/будили.

    I think he thinks that Будить is some form of быть. Subpar in the case u were confusing Будить (to wake) with будет will be. the past tense is был. It means "was".
    Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!

    I agree that in that case the meaning was something like that. But don't forget that in addition to high-level literary Russian, people usualy speak colloquial speech. So it can be some frosty Russian winter when Darobat will be confused with a sentense "Зашел бы лучше в рынок, вместо того, чтобы морозить голову здесь", just because he doesn't know this vernacular meaning of the word "рынок"

    The indefinite form is "ходить". But in order to make it perfective, you should add proper prefix. So "походил" would make sense if you emphasize the action (you were walking around the market today). "Cходил" stresses the result itself (you were on a market today, and that's result).

    But don't be confused because of the fact that "заходил" ("entered") would be indefinite form It's perfective form is "зашел" (m) or "зашла" (f)
