"Это моё яблоко."

Translation: It is my apple.

[Mariana634431]

At first I was taught to use мой яблоко, now моё яблоко, are both correct or just the last one???

[comradezack]

"яблоко" is a neuter noun so you use the neuter possessive "моё".

[cheesegazelle]

Just the last one for singular. For plural you use "moji"

[Dron007]

Word "мой" is also imperative form of verb "мыть" (wash/clean). So "мой яблоко" is correct phrase (wash this apple) but "помой яблоко" would sound better as it means some short action that should be finished..

[Tsiakiris]

Is it also a verb? Did I get it right?

[PushkrajBh]

Then what is 'моя'

[mihassui]

моя is for feminine nouns

[Emrevon]

Моя is my

[herecomethebears]

I know that моя is for feminine as opposed to мои/моё, but what is the difference between when to use the latter two?

[bright_flash]

Мои for plurals, моё for nouns of neuter gender.

[dblokillo]

But what about мой?

[bright_flash]

Мой is for nouns of masculine gender.

[ammmas1991]

Thank you very much raspberry-shake

[Emrevon]

Моя is my

[herecomethebears]

Thanks!

[ammmas1991]

Laura how many languages do you have?

[herecomethebears]

Just a few XD

[Zhang_Paul]

could "This is my apple" work?

[eclairevoyant]

Yes, it worked for me

[Toast820]

Um i how many ways can you say "my"in russian.
"moe, Moi, moya,"

[HATAllluK]

Мой (m), моя (f), моё (n), мои (plural)

[mimo983]

do they stay the same if they're used in different cases? cause in german they change again in the cases and i kinda hope it's easier in russian xD

[ChristianD398366]

They change depending on the case in Russian too.

[SamMisery]

Is there any difference in the way you pronounce 'мои' and 'мой' ? Because they both sound like "moj" and this confusing me a bit

[ixjf29]

Yes. Й is pronounced in conjunction with the previous syllable, like 'moy'. И is not, so it's pronounced like 'mo-y'. But in standard Moscow pronunciation, the 'o' in unstressed syllables is pronounced like 'a'. So мои is pronounced 'ma-y'.

[LandonMcgo]

Can anyone tell me what I should look for to tell the gender of a word so I can know which form to use, for writing purposes...for example in spanish masculine ends in o usually and feminine ends in a...what is the russian equivelant?

[b4rn1k4]

A noun ending in a consonant will be Masculine. In -a, -я, Feminine. In -o, -e, Neutral. I found that out myself today as well. A cool YouTube channel you can use to learn Russian:

[Safa503047]

Hey, thanks for giving the link to this channel. It really helped me understand the gender of nouns and how to construct a basic sentence.

[_The_Gorilla]

u learn no Russian. Why u ask this?????

[bethanygedeon]

I accidentally hit enter before I had finished typing, so I ended up saying "ето мен", and doulingo accepted it... can anyone explain this? I'm very confused right now.

[Neolle]

Did it get marked as a typo?

[stephany_S_E]

Ok, can someone tell me what the difference between моя, мой, моё, and мои is?

[Markkrousos]

In Russian, words have genders. There is masculine, feminine and neuter. Each one gets a different мои.

[_The_Gorilla]

Yes! It's my apple!

[DuoErr]

I thought it was "Моя" because it sounded natural in that sentence.

[Katsube]

Why can I not say "the apple is mine"?

[Juancho_Ushuaia]

It is useful to write down the genders of each noun to find the right posesive

[hp.newton]

My answer was xthe apple is mine", and it is wrong(

[Kaan56976]

Why is the pronounciation so bad i mean she is almost rapping

[Markkrousos]

I thought это meant "that is"... Now it's "it is"?

[Rishini1]

Is 'This is my apple' also correct ?

[Ali350391]

Это моя яблака - Can be here my apple or this is my apple, but unfortunately system saying its something else.
I know its not здесь моя яблоко, but translation is correct by me and not by system..

[Ali350391]

Ну я вообще не понимаю как это моя яблока можно по английскому будет - is it my apple, вообще не понимаю бляты...
