"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?

[349052241]

Means where is he

[anshul_tomar]

Он - He, It (masculine)

Она - She, It (feminine)

Оно - It (neuter)

[AlvaroIbar312854]

"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".

[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.

[Shoda_Fayez]

@Tunglskin, Maybe this website can help you for more verb conjugations
http://masterrussian.com/verbs/conjugations.htm

[Tunglskin]

Thanks to both of you!

[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?

[danil.antonov]

"кушать" могут только дети и, допустимо, женщины. но лучше не употреблять это устаревшее слово вовсе - оно очень режет слух при неуместном употреблении.

[Amy91436]

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

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

[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?

[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?''

[EdvKz]

"Где он ест прямо сейчас?"

[AkisV1]

Shouldnt this translate as Where is he eating?since ест= eating and ем=eat,please correct me if wrong

[Calden2]

Russian verbs don't explicitly have the "-ing" form, so there is some ambiguity when going between English and Russian (for example, "я живу там" can mean either "I live there" or "I am living there"). The difference between ест and ем is one of conjugation (see JanisaChatte's response above, which gives all the conjugations for the verb). Both can translate to either "eating" or "eat" depending on context.

[Jeannine65405]

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

[ronnateto]

What's the difference between ем and ест? ?

[Sapemi09]

I think ем is the form of the first person (I), and ест is the form of the third person (he, she) both of them from the present.

[FullonRock]

How do you tell the difference between Он as in 'he' and Он as in 'they'?

[Rk5I3]

Они is 'they.'

By the way, these pronouns are also used as 'it' or 'they' for things, according to the (grammatical) gender of the replaced word, not just people.

[ElbietaWoj13]

Он means 'he', 'they' is они

[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?

[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

[Hello_Skinny]

Wait what? I got the answer correct by Duolingo in that it was есть, however the answer translated as 'he eats'. I thought thay was just ect??

[Eda534897]

It tells me "where is he eating"... there is no is?

[RaiShan2]

Why not "Where did he eat?"
