"У нас уже есть дети."

Translation: We already have children.

And so the door-to-door salesman walks away dejected, his briefcase jiggling and emanating muffled cries as he walks.

I like your comments a lot, they are literally pure humor.

Loool at first i read as " we have already eaten children.

[Apahegy]

If ребёнок is child, is it also okay to say ребёнокы? And does that sound natural?

[bright_flash]

The plural of ребёнок is дети and yes, as you can see, it is irregular.

[jameszhou13]

Thanks! That's дети for anyone like me who is unfamiliar with cursive.

[MerleNoir27]

Дети and ребя́та are the plural forms of ребёнок.

[slycelote]

No, there is no such word. It's an irregular plural.

[JimLeonard0]

I think it's just a matter of using different words for singular and plural. In Czech it is dítě for child and děti for children. ребёнки or some other similar word is never used for the plural.

[rezareza8]

So what's the rule of the words order! (Уже)?

[fan806901]

At first i read it as, we have already eaten children loool

[Joshua769262]

He says есть very quickly on this one

[Pezzeroon]

I totally thought this said "We have already eaten children" at first

[NatoriErk]

I can't seem to keep уже and тоже straight. Sigh.

[DaveSchaef]

Would "We already have the children" work here?

My answer was not accepted when I wrote that but I am confused about when we are expected to include an article or not... Would the sentence be written differently if you were intending to say "the children" instead of just "children"?

[kokoro_kaiju]

Think about it in English. Would you tell someone "I already have the children" in a context like this?

[RichardDia371759]

Could I say "у нас есть дети уже" to say the same thing? I mean,switch the order of the words like that?

[AurelBeethovenCh]

Richard thanks for your answer :-)

[Carls684145]

How do you translate 'do we already have children?'

[SuvraneelG]

What do you mean by есть

[Sue98781]

It was helpful to see this question immediately after дети ухе у тебя.

[1Kenyan]

Why does "have" appear twice? "Hac" and "ectb"?
