"Где его кошка?"

Translation: Where is his cat?

[HussainBiedouh]

how is "его" pronounced ? "ye-vo" or "ye-go" ?

[kingthatcher]

-go for genitive is usually pronounced vo

[thedeadlymino]

ye-vo

[gWP63]

Ye-vo

[localyokel501]

Do you just have to memorize the fact that sometimes г sounds like в? or is there some pattern?

[thedeadlymino]

Its just memorization from hearing the words. However, if it ENDS in его or ого its probably prounced as в (some exceptions off the top of my head are много и немного)

[Pluvious]

"Много" in your example pronounced "mnoga", no? I think it means "much" or "a lot"..

[thedeadlymino]

You are correct with both :)

[Pluvious]

Oh you said they were exceptions >.< is reminded of one's slowness yet again proceeds facepalm in... 3... 2..

[CarlosLeye1]

After you get used to it, it will sound "wrong" when you say it go instead of vo. Is just like english, consider the word Mouse, you don't pronounce it as you write it, but as Maus but when you see Courtyard is the same ou but you pronounce the word somewhat close to Cortyard

[PurelySimple1]

Is it just me or does the Russian audio of 'где' sound strange in this question?

[AJy01V]

It's not just you. It sounds she leaves out the г en says like дего кошка

[Shivaadh]

4.9.19 I am going to report that now.

[Alex640037]

I thought she was saying 'дерево кошка' to mean 'the cat's tree'. But that would be incorrect anyway since it isn't the right genitive ending. Confusing sound on this one.

[carlapearr]

Is there a difference between него and его?

[zfeldman]

When you use "у" , as in "у него есть" , the "y" requires you put a "н" in front. It's just a "y" thing, and I think you need to do it with some other prepositions as well, but the real genitive form is "его."

[Pluvious]

that explains a lot, thanks

"Where is his ❤❤❤❤❤ cat?" - The system did not accept the answer.

[doganozan]

what is the difference between кот and кошка ?

[diogo8484]

• кот is only addressed to male cats
• кошка is addressed to female cats or cats whose gender is not identified or not important.

[Brandon1375]

Difference он and его

[Ajanni_Dawodu]

он - He
его - His (possessive pronoun)

For those having problems with pronunciations, I have found this website to be very helpful in understanding the different ways these letters can be pronunced. There are even voice recordings for examples

[_Maria_B._]

Yessssss! Finally got it right! Take that, spellcheck!

[Mikhail478855]

Good program)

[vanessachanice]

Why the cat also takes the genitive?

[DanyDin]

R is g no?

[Cecilia798621]

Guys dont forget the t in cat. It marks it wrong :(

[Eugenia-17]

Where is his cat?

[The9]

Dude, where's my cat?

[Adam363593]

"Его" kinda looks like "I" in latin (ego)

[Mr_Aviad]

What the ****? She clearly said ДЕРЕВО КОШКА

[Tara569445]

Can we replace его with него?

[sugarbonny]

I remeber when I was learning russian from my russian exbf... i asked why сегодня(today) was pronounced -VO .. he didn't know.. he said it's just like that. So russian is just like that :) and now I pay attention carefully to pronunciation

[itsmeyash31]

The sound that the sentence has in the comment section is good but the one asked asked to translate is bad. The woman's voice has errors.
