Thread: присваивания and ваивания ???

its Nominative form is "присваивание". It is a deverbal noun for the verb присваивать "to appropriate" (you can clearly see the connection to the word "свой" here). Well, the verb can actually have two meanings -1. to take for your own or 2. to assign some rank to a person/ value to a variable/ name and so on. Thus, the noun also has these two meanings - an act of assignment or an act of taking ownership and possession over something.

Not a very useful word but it does have a meaning.

Thank you for your help. When you say it is not a useful word, what do you mean? How would the word be used; for example, is it a legal term or a military term?

I can imagine Genitive "присваивания" ("of an assignment") in a sentence like "This issue arised as a result of an assignment a particular value to a dynamic float16 variable when all temp registers were full."
(and something similar if the word is used as "taking over ownership", like "The person mentioned was involved in a case of misappropriation in 2006, case subject to appeal later in.....")
Just like in English, in Russian it would be more "natural" and less bookish to use a verb ("there was a problem when we assigned...", "when a value was assigned") rather than a deverbal noun. In this particular case, of course. The sole use of this word already marks the supposed style of a passage as stilted and formal; it is certainly formal writing, not everyday speech.
