Thread: Мы с Тобой constructions

Ah, ok, i appreciate it Боб увтман, as another question, to what does the нам с тобой refer back to in the dative case, like, how can i, when creating a creative though, determine what case i want to use for the noun/pronoun in the first part?

Also, can you make this a possessive sentence? For example: МY dog аnd i went for a walk with you.

Моя собака с тобой пошли гулять.

I guess furthermore what i am asking is in what ways can use this construction, can you include multiple nouns? Can you add an adjective at all?

Sorry, I am afraid I do not fully understand this question. Can you be more specific?

You wrote "My dog and I" - so "Моя собака с тобой" is definitely incorrect.

Theoretically, you can say "Мы с собакой пошли гулять" (My dog and I went for a walk). In this case, it implies you very close, "human" attitude to your dog. If "мы" = "Я" + "моя собака", then "моя собака" is treated almost as a human being. Otherwise, say just "Я пошёл гулять с собакой".

You can say: мы с моей собакой пошли с тобой гулять.

You can also make the мы с part possessive - for example: это наша с тобой собака - this is your and my dog (it's not exactly grammatical in English I know). And the possessive part can be in different cases for example я поджег вашу с ним машину - I set fire to you and his car.

Yes, you can:
Мы пошли гулять с Иваном, Петром и Игорем.
or
Мы с красивой девушкой гуляли по парку.

Actually, what I already wrote, the main part is "мы". (Or it can be "вы", "они" etc.)
What you add using "с" is just a more detailed clarification of who is included.

To make it easier, think of it this way:
Мы с тобой пошли гулять. = We (including you) went for a walk.
Мы с ним учимся в университете. = We (including him) study at a university.
Does it make sense?
