Thread: Genitive or prepositional?

In translating:
I took her to a coffee shop on our second date

Я взяла её в кафе на нашем втором свидании.

свидании in prepositional due to the на, like we agreed upon here.

How come I was corrected to свидание which is nominative and accusative?


Also, how come it's

иди на улицу (accusative)

and not

иди на улице (prepositional)

?

That cases are both possible but have a different sense.

на + accusative = to, towards
на + prepositional = on, at, during

Я пригласил её в кафе на нашем втором свидании. - Prepositional.

I invited her to the coffee shop during our second date. (I.e. for the third date.)


Я пригласил её в кафе на наше второе свидание. - Accusative.

I invited her to the coffee shop for our second date.


иди на улицу (accusative)

go to the street

иди на улице (prepositional)

go at the street
