Short sentence translation English -> Russian
Hi everyone
I'm studying Russian (though I'm not a speaker) for a project. I was wondering if someone could help me translate this question and answer pair so I can compare the word order in English and Russian:
Q: Where did Ivan put what?
A: Ivan put the apple on the table and the cushion on the chair.
Thanks for any help you can offer. :)

Hi loumy!
Quote:
Q: Where did Ivan put what?
- "Куда Иван что положил?" or "Что куда положил Иван?" or "Куда что положил Иван?" Some other variants with different word order are also possible. You could also say: Куда Иван положил каждый предмет (literally it's "where did Ivan put each object?") - I think this version is more "official" while the others are colloquial.
A: Ivan put the apple on the table and the cushion on the chair. - Иван положил яблоко на стол, а подушку на стул.
