Thread: Correct please (dinlot)

He kicked my dog.

Оно ударял моя собаку.

ударял- perfective past

моя - feminine possessive

собаку - feminine accusative

Спасибо!

Моя should be мою, to match with собаку. Оно should be он (which ударял is matching).

Ударял is inperfective (ударять). As you correctly said you need a perfective verb. It's "ударить".

Он ударил мою собаку.


"Ударять" is used rarely. We use "бить" instead.

> "Ударять" is used rarely. We use "бить" instead.

Yes.
"Ударить" is "to strike once" (event)
"Бить" is "to beat (to do many strikes during period of time)" (process)

"Ударять" form is something like "to strike (once, but) several times (during time period)". It is not used in natural speech, because verb "бить" exists.
Also, "to kick dog" is probably "пнуть собаку". "Пнуть" is "to strike by leg".

Please explain me in which context we use пёс?

Antonio, пёс is used when you want to particularly emphasize that your dog is "a boy"!

The word собака is grammatically feminine, but can be used either:
(a) about a female dog
or
(b) about a dog whose gender/sex is not known to the speaker.

The word сука means "a definitely female dog" (and cannot be used for a dog of unknown gender) -- but, just like the English bitch, nowadays it is "used politely only by professional dog-breeders."

The word соба́ка is general. A dog can be called собака even if it’s known it is male.

The word пёс can sometimes be used to refer to a dog whose sex is not known (more rarely than собака though).

There’ş also a word кобе́ль — ‘a male dog’. Like су́ка, it is used mostly by dog-breeders and can be used as an offensive word too (‘tomcat’ (?), ‘sleazebag’(?), don’t know how to say it in English).
It’s the word кобель that means a definitely male dog.

A similar thing is with horses.
Both ло́шадь (grammatically feminine) and конь (grammatically masculine) can be used for horses of both sex.
Ло́шадь is more general, while конь is a bit rarer.
If you want to tell about a horse’s sex, you can use words кобы́ла ‘female horse’, ‘mare’; жеребе́ц ‘male horse’, ‘stallion’; ме́рин ‘castrated male horse’, ‘gelding’.

Make a note of this, dinlot -- here's the entry for мой in Викисловарь, which you can find at ru.wiktionary.org. It includes the complete declension in all cases and genders, singular and plural!

More generally, if you go to ru.wiktionary.org, in the top-right corner you'll see a text-entry field labelled "Поиск" ("Search"). If you need the declension or conjugation for common Russian nouns, pronouns, and verbs, just enter the "dictionary form" here. (I.e., the masc. sing. for nouns/pronouns/adjectives, or the infinitive of verbs).

Note that not ALL entries in the "Vikislovar" include complete declension/conjugation tables, but in general, the entries for the "basic root vocabulary" of Russian are very complete.

P.S. The noun/pronoun/adjective declension tables include the following abbreviations:

Им. = nominative (именительный падеж, "case")
Р. = genitive (родительный)
Д. = dative (дательный)
В. (одуш.) = accusative, animate (винительный, одушенный)
В. (неодуш.) = accusative, inanimate (винительный, неодушенный)
Тв. = instrumental (творительный)
Пр. = prepositional (предложный)
ед.ч. = singular number (единственное число)
м. = masculine gender (мужской род)
ж. = feminine gender (женский род)
с. = neuter gender (средний род)
мн.ч. = plural number (множественное число)

In my opinion `одушенный` is wrong form (I never hear this word). Correct form is `одушевлённый` (`неодушевлённый`).

Thank you for the reference. I don't know what to do without you guys. Спасибо.
