"Она здесь ест."

Translation: She eats here.

[enguard]

Анна, она..... aargh.

[markytho]

So "She's here eating" wouldn't work or is that improper grammar?

[thekatmorgan]

Она ест здесь would also work?

[DanVicBez]

It would, but it would sound a bit more unnatural. Saying it that way emphasizes the location at which she eats.

[Shady_arc]

It sort of works if you mean that, say, her co-workers have lunch at different places, but she eats right here. Which is why we accept that answer. These two word orders are not interchangeable, though, meaning that in a particular situation you choose the one that makes sense.

[Dealanach]

Is она really pronounced just like анна?

[Georgio266938]

Анна здесь есть

[martiankoolaid]

How do you hear the difference between анна и она?

[martiankoolaid]

Nevermind, i realized that анна annunciates each н like н'н

[Shady_arc]

Yep. They also are stressed differently.

[mike2813]

such a hard time hearing the palatalized vs non, with this word. argh. yest, yest', yest, yest'

[Kim250223]

Анна / Она

[duomacx]

I'm not sure why "she is here eating" is not accepted.

[VikoriBik]

So есть is different than ест, right?

When do I use есть, for what?
Is it the same as здесь?

[Shady_arc]

Which есть? One is the present-tense form of "to be" mostly used to state existence (e.g., "У нас есть рыба")

Its homonym is the infinitive of the verb which means "eat". Here are its present-tense forms (they are irregular):

[VikoriBik]

Ah, OK!!) Thank you!

[Shady_arc]

A bonus fact: in Ukrainian these words are different (Russian and Ukrainian are closely related). The is-word sounds like "yeah" while the inifitive of eat is like "yisti".

If you ignore the different endings, you can see the vowels are different. They were somewhat close; the two merged in Russian but drifted further apart in Ukrainian (this is why you have ru лес = uk ліс , ru небо = uk небо)

I thought it says that " she is here"
