"Я люблю спать на полу."

Translation: I like sleeping on the floor.

RIP back

[killerbng]

Actually I like sleeping on the floor. My back feels much better than a soft bed, and I get to sleep much faster on the floor :)

[JewishPolyglot]

Is it really such a chiropractor's nightmare?

[owenvenes]

Actually it's much healthier apparently. Unfortunately it's a 1000000 times less comfortable so we are cursed to use comfortable beds for all eternity.

Why is полу ending with у ?

[Izlajn]

Полу is the locative case of the noun пол. Пол along with some other nouns (e.g. лес - лесу, берег - берегу, ...) has an irregular locative case. As far as I know there is no rule to help memorise this, you have to learn the exceptions.

[mahankr]

So is it wrong to say на поле? Or is it just less common?

[dmitry.tsarev]

It's wrong in this context (and means "on the field"). You would probably be understood, but it's wrong.

[mahankr]

Thank you :)

[Dannis.K]

"спать на поле" = "to sleep in a field" =)
Поэтому правильно только "спать на полу".

[Ray_Me]

You mean Русское Поле by Ян Френкель is not about russian floors? :)

[Ryanobt]

Ah man. I think I went about answering this the wrong way then, and got it correct by a-kind-of luck.
I went with the whole "I" situation.
Я любл"ю" ...... пол"у"

My hips hurt just thinking about it

One of the correct answers that popped up was "I like to sleep on the storey." (Yes, storey.) Looks like a bit of confusion between "floor", what is under your feet, and "story", as in "second story." I submitted a report.

[jahess]

Story would be этаж.

[lim-josh]

I answered "I love sleeping on the ground" and it was rejected; as an English speaker to me it means the same thing...

[allanmherrera]

I thought "люблю" is reserved for love. Can this be: "мне нравится спать на полу"?

[dmitry.tsarev]

"Люблю" isn't only used to express feelings towards a living beings. It can (and often is) be used to express your enjoyment / pleasure in something inanimate or intangible - actions, objects. 'Люблю' is normally considered stronger than "нравится", but in certain contexts they're equal.

Yes, "мне нравится спать на полу" is a totally valid phrase and in this context I don't see a difference to using 'люблю'.

[DanyDin]

why we use here полу? spasibo

[dmitry.tsarev]

it's the prepositional / locative case

[Nestor933155]

На пОлу or на полУ ? They used both versions in different exercises

[Omar.cpp]

I think it's полу́, that's how i encountered it in other resources

После слишком много ...

[TaylorShai]

Why is люблю "like" and not "love"

[susanashe]

I thought на took the prepositional
