I have the settings on my phone to switch back and forth from English to Russian letters. This might help some of you.
It is э not e, so that may be it. Go to settings -> languages -> keyboard and find the languages there. Then check the box next to "Russian."
I typed Eto tom and got it wrong. I've done the french course earlier, and to input special characters we had options. Is this also because i have cyrillic alphabet turned on?
If youtr on mobile go to the settings on he keyboard. (Or hold down the emoji button from the samsung keyboard itself. A menu should pop up. Press the cog) then add languages. This makes it so yiu can easily swith between them by holding and flicking he space bar to the left of right.
You're supposed to type это том which is 'nj njv on the american keyboard, ,מח מחה on the hebrew keyboard, and 'νξ νξω on the greek keyboard
Make sure you switch to a Russian keyboard before doing this. I find it a lot easier to do from my phone or with keyboard viewer on a computer.
Shouldn't it be "Этот Том"? AFAIK этот is used for masculine nouns and Tom is a male name. Am is missing something?
"Этот Том" means "This Tom". "Это Том" means "This is Tom". "This is" is always "это" regardless of gender.
Thank you very much! So it's somehow similar to German "Das" , which as a demostrative pronoun could be used for all nouns (even plural ones) eg. Das ist der Mann. But as a demonstrative adjective it only comes before neuter nouns.
There are two different versions of Tom available... One is том and the other is Том. Notice the difference between the lower case and capital T's, respectively.
I accidentally typed 'з' instead of 'э' and it allowed it but called it a type. I'm BEGINNER at this, can someone explain the difference between the 2 letters please?
If someone is still wondering this after a year of waiting, Э and З are both letters in Russian alphabet. Э is a vowel and sounds like a in 'apple', З is a consonant and is pronounced like a regular English z and kind of looks very similar to the number 3 in handwriting.
Тhe mnemonic Russian keyboard in Windows has з mapped to Z, but I don't see how to type э other than copy/pasting it in. Any advice on how to type this?
Could you use "зто том" for when you answer the phone? "Привет, зто том" or only when you inrroduce people?

I had an exercise before "translate <>" and i wrote "Ето дом". And it was correct. Now i have this exercise "translate <>" and i said, "let's put э instead of е" and wrote "Это Том" and it was correct... What's the difference between "е" and "э"? Thanks in advance!
