"Is Anna in America or in Germany?"

Translation: Анна в Америке или в Германии?

[DanielLee965579]

Why is it 'в Германии' and not 'в Германие'

[Edilvers]

Германия (в Германии), Россия (в России), Колумбия (в Колумбии). «˜–ия» changes into «в –ии» (prep. case).

Thank you for your insight

[taricarus]

Thanks, it helped a lot ))

Do we need a separate "в" before each location, or is one at the beginning acceptable? In English one could say "Is Anna in America or Germany" rather than "Is Anna in America or in Germany."

[deactivated user]

In normal speech I don't always use it but for the sake of this site I do, just in case

[flint72]

For what it is worth, it accepted

"Анна в Америке или Германии?".

[HugoAllexis]

I wonder if this is actually correct, since Германии is in its prepositional form but has no preposition for its own... Hope a native speaker can explain

[VlasovArtem]

In this case both options are correct. In general there are some cases when you can skip preposition and other when you can't. But I think most Russian natives don't know exactly these rules, it's more of philological question. If you're not sure then it's better to use preposition for each object.

Is США the equivalent of USA?

[olimo]

Yes, it is Соединённые Штаты Америки.

What is the difference between Germany ending in ии or ия?

[Adrian53542]

Германия is in the nominative case. That means Germany is the subject of the sentence.
Германии is in the prepositional case, which is used after certain prepositions like 'in'.

[MishaGena]

Why is есть анна в америке или германий wrong?
Would it be understood as "Is there an Anna in Germany or America"?

[jcmouret94]

Да

[QurtQurt]

"There is/are" is not used with names.

[LKusdemir]

Why is "в Германя" wrong?

[Adrian53542]

Use the prepositional case after в. Read the comments above and the notes for more information.

[Mazi79]

What's wrong with "Анна в Америка или в Германия?"

Anna is feminine.

[VlasovArtem]

You need to use Америка and Германия in prepositional case, so in will be 'Анна в Америке или в Германии?'

[ManchurioX]

What is the difference between the usage of в and ве?

[StarX15]

Where do we use 'Германия' and 'Германии'

[Laura617343]

<pre> Because Germany is not a subject </pre>

[satya636486]

My answer is correct but shows wrong in app

[MaxSong7]

[aranea8313]

I am in America, but want to be in Germany. As an Anna, this course can be so meta sometimes :P
