Thread: Please translate Maintain The Temple

Dont ask why =)

But I need to know how to write "Maintain The Temple" Or something very similar that just means to take care of the temple.

If I could get it, I need it in cryllic as well as how to pronounce it in English.

Much thanks in advance for anyones help.

Task.

Ухаживать за храмом (or Ухаживать за Храмом)

Ukhazhivat' za khramom

Or

Ухаживай за храмом (Ухаживайте за храмом)

if your phrase is in the imperative and not infinitive. It's a good idea to provide context and explain what you mean clearly.

Ukhazhivay za khramom (Ukhazhivayte za khramom)

I believe it would be infinitive. I mean to continuously maintain it. And it would be masculine.

Well then I'd recommend to use:
Присматривай за храмом.
(in the meaning of to look after the temple).
But that implies that this process is rather passive, which means that he just have to look whether everything is allright with the temple and not to excercise serious efforts in the process of "mantaining".

I believe it would be infinitive. I mean to continuously maintain it. And it would be masculine.

Then Wowik already answered your question. In the infinitive it doesn't matter if it's masculine, feminine, or neuter.

Well then I'd recommend to use:
Присматривай за храмом.

Why? Do you know what is the infinitive?

А может, он вообще имеет в виду "пожертвуйте на нужды храма"?

Smith,
is it financial maintenance that you mean?
or do you ask to keep it clean?
