"Где он ест?"

Translation: Where does he eat?

[NishuPL]

It sounds simillar to Polish ''Gdzie on jest'' which means ''Where is he''. I obviously wrote it wrong. ;(

[pavelXbushmakin]

Где он есть? == Where is he?
Где он ест? == Where does he eat?

[ElenaMFF]

ест/есть...what is the difference in how they are pronounced? Спасибо

[MontiLoo]

what does где он? mean?

[anshul_man]

Он - He, It (masculine)

Она - She, It (feminine)

Оно - It (neuter)

[349052241]

Means where is he

[AlvaroIbar312854]

"Where is he"

[AbhigyanJS]

It means Where is He?..

[thekatmorgan]

Yep, this gets me everytime. The problem with being a native Polish speaker learning Russian.. not always works in our favour!

[Kliphph]

Tak, myślałem tak samo, nie "gdzie on je".

[Nici1810]

I had the same problem. First I thought there was a word missing. Very tricky one for polish speaking people

[Tunglskin]

How about that verb "to eat?" Do we learn about the conjugations later on, and if not, could someone explain them briefly or lead me to a source that explains them?

Thanks bby. <3

[JanisaChatte]

Yes, you do learn the conjugations later on, but it is:

Я ем

Ты ешь

Он ест

Она ест

Мы едим

Вы едите

Они едят

Hope this helps :)

[hmada993]

Is it possible to add a conjugation button when you hover over the verb?

[Amy91436]

Sure does! Thanks so very much for this.

[Ulysser]

Another verb that is much used for "to eat" is кушать.

Я кушаю
Ты кушаешь
Он кушает
Мы кушаем
Вы кушаете
Они кушают.

I hope this also helps you.

[diogogomez]

Can both verbs be used interchangeably?

[Amy91436]

Thanks all you Русский speakers. (Hope I got that right.) You all really are so helpful with all of our questions. Thanks!

[MrKenyu]

I answered "Где он есть" and it was correct, without typo. And apparently what I wrote was "Where is he".

Does Duolingo not care about ь in these cases?

[Kate16422]

Is there anyway to make it talk slower, i can't get my mouth around the pronunciation?

[Booloff]

is "to eat" irregular in russian? i looked up the forms for it in russian and they don't appear to match up with the conjugation charts that i've seen.

[Booloff]

i just found out on one of the later lessons that yes, it's irregular.

[Globalingual]

how do you say, ''where is he eating?''

[MiShiBubo]

Why is где он ест translated as "where does he eat" rather than "where is he eating"? The latter seems more correct to me. The former implies that he eats somewhere regularly (but that he may not be there at this moment) and the speaker wants to know where that is. The latter implies that he is somewhere, right now, eating. Isn't that what the Russian sentence means?

[Jeannine65405]

Is it correct that this can be translated as both, "where is he eating" and "where does he eat"?

[AnkitPal55948]

Difference between эст & эм as they both are used for 'eat '.

[Alexey914898]

эст & эм

• ест & ем

I eat - я ем
you (sing.) eat - ты ешь
he/she eats - он/она ест
we eat - мы едим
you (pl. or formal) - вы/Вы едите
they eat - они едят

[DeepakKuma30755]

Difference between ем and ест ?
