"He has such delicious apples!"

Translation: У него такие вкусные яблоки!

[kpagcha]

Why is "У него есть такие вкусные яблоки." wrong?

[olimo]

It should be accepted, but the version without "есть" sounds more natural. In fact, the meaning is closer to "His apples are so delicious!" The fact of having is implied.

[detailaddict]

Well maybe the English sentence should read as modified so as not to be misleading.

[RichWood9]

I thought "есть" should be used when people actually have something i.e. it indicates possession?

[AgentTorpedo]

Without = current possession
With = current existence

У тебя есть масло?

Да, у меня масло.

[JonySagi]

Why is "такие" used here and not "так"?

[sple00]

так - so

такой - such

[Squonkalini]

I'm just a beginner but my guess is that it's because it modifies "яблоки."

[Maslanov]

Yes, plural nouns use такие. Pretty sure

[EmylGonzle]

Is it «такие вкусные» because «apples» is in plural or because «apple» is neutral?

[Liza827703]

Both. It is the neuter plural form.

[Maslanov]

It is because many apples. Mainly because of that. Apple itself is neutral, but we are talking about plurals.

[Lingwat]

Plural

[EmylGonzle]

Or both?

[WquDT]

what case is apples in to get this ending. Isn't o replaced with a for nominative and accusative plural?

[AncientWings]

I thought so, too. Google Translate says that both "яблока" and "яблоки" translate as "apples."

[WquDT]

Well the nominative plural is яблоки so I’m thinking maybe the spelling rules apply to neutral words that end in го,ко,хо,жо, чо, шо and що . Maybe when they form a nominative plural we have the o replaced with и instead of a.

[dhelmr]

When do I have to use него, and when его?

[WquDT]

I will try to explain. The 3rd person personal pronouns ( her eë, his eго, their их) in any case , add H at their beginning when they occur after a preposition including у . For example,
У Него есть чемодан, He has( by him there is) a suitcase . You have to differentiate third person personal pronouns from possessive pronouns however like his brother. Possessive pronouns never change after a preposition. For example, у его брата есть чемодан. His brother has( by his brother there is) a suitcase. I hope this is helpful.

[CrypticLord]

my apples are pretty good too!

[malinskiiiii]

Мои яблоки тоже такие всусные!
Right?

[lula435167]

Is there a clear rule when to drop эсть from a phrase?

[MZb86Lqh]

Here, the English phrasing is a little difficult. The most natural way would be to have the exercise demand 'His apples are so delicious'. Generally, you are to omit есть from any phrase where the 'having' is natural or inherently connected to the owner. For example, you probably have a nose (if not, I'm sorry, they're great), so I'll tell you 'У тебя нос', you have a nose. But the есть is not there, because surprise surprise, people have noses in general. If you were a collector of noses, a есть would be used.

[Maslanov]

Hahahhah! Nose collector!

Thanks very helpful

[VenkataRed14]

Can we use он есть такие вкусные яблоки. Instead у него есть вкусные яблоки?

[john204]

I also wrote: У него такие есть вкусные яблоки

[Jaro887488]

Очень x такие, is different meaning?

[Rowdy_Wolf]

Very - очень || такие - Such(neut/plural form of такой)

[Xuu37]

But ... "так" modifies "вкусные" ... in the adverbial sense of so/very/really. You neither decline "очень"... So why?

[RandalOulton]

Why яблоки and not яблока? Edit: turns out the plural is irregular. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D1%8F%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%BE

[MighellG]

What is the difference between вкусные and вкусное, why it is not У него такие вкусное яблоки?

[Joonas858575]

Can we use он есть?

[Nikol273207]

Whats the difference between него и его? I thought i could say его
