Why isn't яблоко conjugated? That is яблока or яблоку?

[garpet]

Actually, it is. It's in the accusative. case, yet you can't see it in case of neuter nouns as their nominative and accusative are the same (just like in latin)

[Andyemanu]

Яблока is genitive singular, яблоку is dative singular.
Яблоко is the nominative and accusative singular.
Яблоко is irregular; you would expect it to become яблока in the plural, granted that neuter nouns usually replace о with а in nominative and accusative plural, but the plural form is in fact яблоки.

Actually, it is conjugated. It's in the accusative, yet you can't see it as in the case of neuter nouns -like яблоко- their nominative and accusative are the same (lik in Latin)

If the sentence lacks ты you'll be able to tell by the stem of the verb who its addressing.

[Farlander2821]

This is a perfectly natural greeting that I say to everyone I see

[AnCatDubh]

What, no ты?

[olimo]

Yes, it is common to drop the "ты" in such questions.

[AnCatDubh]

‘Such’ meaning…?

[olimo]

Like asking whether someone wants or will eat something.

[AbuDhabi6]

"Ты" is already implied in "хочешь". You can put it there, but it would be more for emphasis than anything.

[curtkobain]

Think of it as similar to English, such as as asking "Want food?" or more popularly "Got milk?" in both examples, the you is omitted as it is implied they are speaking to that person.

[gregory.ho]

Pronouns are implied in the conjugation in Russian and Spanish and a few other languages.

[MarkUtley]

Why can't it be translated: "Hi, do you want the apple"?

[CrypticLord]

the world's best pickup line!

[Miyazake-kun]

Uhh, ok. Sure, I guess I'll take an apple. (me in a state of confusion)

[Ste941]

why is it in nominative?

[garpet]

It's in accusative case, but in case of neuter nouns it is the same form

[FaridMercW204]

You need to have a яблоко before asking this, in case you get a yes.

[Vlad077ru]

Привет, ТЫ хочешь яблоко? Куда пропало из перевода You?

[CyrLee]

Want an apple? ХоЧЕШЬ яблоко? = ТЫ хочешь яблоко? ХоТИТЕ яблоко = ВЫ хотите яблоко?

[Nico86873]

I put "привет хочешь яблоку" and it was marked correct, but I see a different answer in the solution?

[Hakan931672]

I think it's not fair to mark wrong just because I forget the comma after "hi"

[Vimamalila]

Duolingo does not care about points or commas. Maybe you accidentally misspelled something

[Bermutto]

Sounds like something Ryuk could have said.
