I am fairly confident I have mastered all decelensions of maculine nouns, so I was wondering if someone could give me some sentences (not to hard!) using present and past tense verbs and masculine nouns, in all cases.
If possible, put the answers in that little greyed out box so i can't see it, or let me answer and you tell me if i was right.
thankyou :)
How about:
The (male) student studies at the university.
The table is very expensive.
I bought this computer two years ago.
I see the man.
The man sees me.
I gave my book to the man.
The man gave me a present.
Sorry, I should have said, i meant Russian - English. But what the heck, its action :)
Also note, i doin't really know much about past tense, just enough to make it worth the try.
ty
1: Студент он изучает на университете
2. стол очен дорогой
3. Я покупатал это счётчик два год тому назад
4. Я видю человек
5. человек он видёт меня
6. Я датал книгу меня для человеку
7. Он датало подарок мне
I've a feeling thats not to good. I wasn't too sure on the conjugations of the verd 'to give' and 'to see'
So, how did i do? :) ty again
You tried well. There are errors though. Here it is:
The (male) student studies at the university.- Студент учится в университете
The table is very expensive.- Стол очень дорогой
I bought this computer two years ago.- Я купил(а) этот компьютер два года назад
I see the man.- Я вижу мужчина
The man sees me.- Мужчина меня видит
I gave my book to the man.- Я подарил(а) книгу мужчине
The man gave me a present.- Мужчина подарил мне подарок
well, i wasn't to far off :) I wasn;t sure on the verb for 'see' though, but i didn't think that the masculine accusaative ws different in declension (мужчина) unless when you see someone they have a different case?
And I am not sure i understand the conjugation in учится
Otherwise, i see where iwent wrong. Maybe i will leave the past tense for a bit longer :p
Thanks again
Any one ot any russian - english?
:)
Евгения - вижу в твоих ответах 3 ошибки.
Androvsky - If I were you, I'd stick to doing exercises in a textbook, where the exercises would focus on topics just covered. Doing what you just did leaves you open to implanting incorrect structures -- please forget you ever heard of "датал", which I don't think even exists as a Russian word (but I'm sure we will hear about it from the cogniscenti if it does !).
I would recommend a textbook/workbook/tape set, such as Голоса or Начало, commonly used in US schools.
Man мужчина is unusual in that it a male human is represented by a feminine-declined noun. The accusative (I see THE MAN) is я вижу мужчину. Ordinarily masculine animate beings end in a consonant and follow the masculine declension pattern, which would make the accusative the same as the genitive. For example, using человек, which is another word for man (more like "person"), you would say Я вижу человека.
Two things you have to learn about Russian -- declension of nouns and adjectives, and conjugation of verbs. Much more difficult that in English.

plus I don't have and answer thing to the book i am using :( but the book itself is brillaint, much better then everything else i have found.
Why do you think he 'heard of it'?Quote:

He also said he doesn't know much about the past tense.
As for Russian-English, nah, that's too easy :)

Ahh, perhaps I gave too tricky sentences :) I shouldn't have picked "мужчина" :)
As for the answers(and let's hope I don't screw up here too):
Студент учится в университете.
Стол очень дорогой.
Я купил(а) этот компьютер два года назад.
Я вижу мужчину(или я вижу человека).
Мужчина/человек видит меня.
Я дал(а) свою книгу мужчине(человеку).
Мужчина подарил мне подарок.
I agree with Waxwing about translating from Russian, it is too easy. :) Perhaps these?
Ivan Ivanovich is a student.
Ivan studies at MGU.
I see Ivan.
I gave Ivan a book.
Ivan likes me.
I talked with Ivan.
Ivan has a bicycle.
Ivan went to the park.
Ivan is in the park.
1. Иван Иванович студент
2. Иван учится в МГУ
3. Я вижу Иванa
4. Я дала книгу Иванy
5. Иван меня люблем
6. Я говорил с Иваном
7. Иван у нём есть велосипед
8. Иван он ходил на парке
9. Иван на парку
whom? Accusative case.Quote:

Or you may say "Я нравлюсь Ивану", although this is more difficult construction.
У Ивана есть велосипед. Ivan is already 'he', so you needn't use surplus pronoun. It is "у него" btw.Quote:
7. Иван у нём есть велосипед
The same.Quote:
8. Иван он ходил на парке
Иван ушёл в парк. (to + place = в + Acc.) Ходил means "walked".
Иван в парке. (in + place = в + Prepositioinal).Quote:
9. Иван на парку
well at the time i wasn't aware that in russian you'd say 'I am pleasing to him' :)Quote:
Or you may say "Я нравлюсь Ивану", although this is more difficult construction.
Otherwise, i understand my mistakes, though there were few things i have never looked at before, and the verb 'went' was confusing.
Maybe you see why i wanted russian to english now, cos if i'd got "Я нравлюсь Ивану" I could have worked it out.
Perhaps try these:
The dog is sleeping
The girl is at the store
The boy wants to go to the store
The cats are hungry
1. Собака паспается
2. Девочка за магазину
3. Малчик хочём (?) идить в магазине
4. Кошки жаждают
Well, I htink i did ok, but the ver 'to want' has confused me a bit, but this is the only way i will learn i guess :p
Good try, here they are:
The dog is sleeping- Собака спит
The girl is at the store- Девочка в магазине
The boy wants to go to the store- Мальчик хочет(пойти) в магазин
The cats are hungry- Кошки хотят есть
To sleep- Спать
To want- Хотеть
so, so say someone is hungry you say 'hunger is to them/ they have hunger' ?
And as far as the others are concerned, what did i do wrong?
Ty :)
What is Ty?
When you say they are hungry it is literally,"They want to eat". Or you can use the adj. "голодный" and it means "hungry".
The girl is hungry- Девочка голодна/Девочка хочет есть
1. Собака паспается- Собака is right but паспается is not, I don't think this is a word.
2. Девочка за магазину- Девочка is right, but the rest isn't.
3. Малчик хочём (?) идить в магазине- Хочём doesn't exsist, идить doesn't either. You have to say "в магазин."
4. Кошки жаждают- "Кошки" is right, but not "жаждать". Means they are hungry for something.
well, i got the verbs fromn the dictionary, maybe i conjugated wrong.
(ty =Thank You :) )
Do not translate word for word. :) If you want, try these sentences:
I have a dog
The dog is tired
The boy is at school
The girl is at home
у меня есть собака
у собаке есть устость
малчик в школу
девочка в дом
except for the second one, i am fairly confident about these.... :?
Good :) There are a few mistakes though. First I will start from your answers:
у меня есть собака- this is correct
у собаке есть устость- say "собака устала". This sentence your wrote doesn't make sense
малчик в школу- almost right, but it's "в школе". If he was GOING to school..."мальчик идёт в школу"
девочка в дом- Девочка ДОМА
These were very good. I apologise if I am not helping and only confusing you more. :(
No, its helping quite a bit actually. The problem i find i am having is that in ancient greek the dative preforms the same functions as russian prepositional and instrumental, so sometimes i think i get my wires crossed.
'у собаке есть устость- say "собака устала". This sentence your wrote doesn't make sense'
I know, I think i was trying to be as bit to clever for myself there :p
You'd better remember Latin Accusativus (-> Rus. Acc.) and Locativus (-> Russ. Prep). :DQuote:
