"I want coffee with milk."

Translation: Я хочу кофе с молоком.

[S-learner]

Why молокоМ?

[mightypotatoe]

Because it's the instrumental case that's used here, not the nominative

[DrejcKokosar]

When you have conjuction "with" (с), you use instrumental case.

Then WHY did they not write that when this EXACT same question was ask earlier in the SAME lesson - the inconsistency is really annoying!

[daadaadaaren]

is the instrumental conjugagion explained in notes?

[Hugh.W]

No it isn't. It comes much later in the tree. I'm not sure why they included this sentence at this stage.

[DiegoCancelinha]

A little question of culture: in Russia, when you go to a café, how do you ask for a cup of coffee, just like this sentence or with a different expression? I mean, where I live, if you ask for a coffee, the waiter will ask you of what size: "small", "medium" or "large" (in other zones of my country the measures are just "short" or "long"). I would be very interested in this topic if one day I travelled to Russia.

The "c" should be pronounced "se", not "see", "ess" or "k"

[IanBee999]

I think Duolingo reads it as the letter C not the word.

It happens sometimes with other languages when you face one letter words.

Why "с" and not "в"?

[Theron126]

"С" is "with", "в" is "in".

[btopps]

Thanks - the pop-up hint showed both I think

[LauraBlume]

Why is "c" pronounced like a vowel? I don't hear an /s/ sound at all.

[Nicole73664]

With like in German is + Dative , I am starting learning Russian and I guess that this could be an explanation as I have already noticed Accusative and Genitive

[seabass99]

The silent "m" is weird

[Theron126]

There is no silent 'm'. Both should be pronounced.
