"Bears are in the village."

Translation: В деревне медведи.

[keaaww]

медведи в деревне probably should be accepted as well

[olimo]

Yes, it should.

[mallimal]

No. It would mean 'the Bears are in the village'

[CHANTAL156]

It is now accepted

[eliapb]

No it is not, It marked it as wrong for me

[Jeffrey855877]

медведи — в деревне
Accepted 18 Aug 2018

[mallimal]

No, it shouldn't. It means 'the Bears are in a village'

[LukaVukZrinski]

Просто ещё один день в деревне? :)

[Ariessus]

Meanwhile in Russia...

Apparently LukaVukZrinski hasn't notice that this is a Russian course for English-speakers.

[NathanGood12]

I wrote есть медведи в деревне. Why is this wrong?

[EdvKz]

"В деревне есть медведи" звучит нормально. "есть медведи в деревне" порядок слов как в вопросе.

[spokospoko]

I tried "В деревне есть медведи" and it wasn't accepted.

[Elycek]

It wasn't accepted for me either. I thought it sounded right, but when I typed it I did know it wasn't following the same grammatical rules the lesson was about

[mallimal]

Because it's "there are some bears in the village"

[HersheyNan]

Thank you. Your explanation in Russian gives me the chance to practice & learn more Russian by

[Jeffrey855877]

Explaining things in Russian is not helpful to many users here, who not surprisingly do not speak it or understand it well yet.

[zOCe8]

Пойду выпущу медведя из сарая - пусть погуляет!

[Jeff988831]

Normal day in the Motherland.

[ricojes]

anyone can explain why есть is disallowed?

[AaronDandr]

I wrote "на деревня медведи" it was marked wrong, what I really wrote? Just for curiosity :-)

[olimo]

"На деревня" sounds like "on the village". Wrong preposition. Also, with "на" you'd need prepositional case: на деревне.

[AimingWinehouse]

"est'" is wrong?

[OldBoyan]

is "деревне" locative case in this sentence?

[mallimal]

No, just prepositional

[azriman]

"медведи в этой деревне" - what is wrong??

[ricojes]

"bears are in THIS village" is your translation

[clairelanc3]

I think your translation means "there are bears in the village"

[Alexey387055]

And "bears are in the village" - "медведи в деревне".
Если полностью, то "медведи есть (или "находятся") в деревне".

[xmtp]

В деревне медведи. В настоящей русской деревне.

[ZabsterLiza]

Сначала волк, теперь медведи. Я беспокоюсь за жителей деревни!
First a wolf, now bears. I am worried about the villagers!

[Rom5f]

I double looked and thought it said beers are in the village

[susanashe]

no one, not even my dictionary, will tell me what gender some of these words are. Why isn't it деревни since the nominative ends in an я

[HersheyNan]

This is feminine but does not have и before the я so that apparently makes it more like an -а noun. It is similar to земля & галерея. I use Wiktionary a lot for help with the complications of Russian declensions.

[raizanat]

Во деревне то было в Ольховке... :)
