"У нас есть яблоки и сок."

Translation: We have apples and juice.

I'm confused about this... i thought genitive endings are required with possession, so would expect нас to have ended with either ы, и, or а.

Is this an exception, or have I misunderstood genitives?

[mightypotatoe]

Нас is the genitive form (and also accusative) of мы

Perfect, спасибо

[mightypotatoe]

You're welcome! and it's spelled спасибо :)

[ph516503]

Yup - that o/a pronunciation keeps catching me out, I'll get there eventually. Fixed now ;-)

Why not "сока"?

[b4uxy]

This is difficult as it's hard to tell if the sentence is "You have apples and juice" or "you have apple juice". This hasn't been addressed before.

"и" means "and"

The man's voice recording is hard to understand. The last word i thought he said bread, so I typed хлеб and it was wrong.

Пьёте щин и сок

I don't think i'll be able to differentiate ест и есть in a listening exercise

[IsaBella835842]

I think that hearing the difference won't be necessary because you can differentiate the two words by looking what nouns the words belong too.

to my understanding "есть" means "to have" and can only be found together with a noun in the genetive case, "ест" however, translates to"eat" and only stands with a noun in the nominative case.

I just pay attention to the context bcz if it said "у меня есть ребёнок" i know it wouldn't mean i eat kids...
