"У меня есть утка."

Translation: I have a duck.

[Neon_Iceberg]

I have a duck

And this duck is watching you!

[JewishPolyglot]

Old MacDonaldski had a farm, EIEIO,
And on his farm he had a duck...

[mightypotatoe]

Was it MacDonald Duck?

[JewishPolyglot]

No, Scrooge McDuck did not have a farm - at least not to the best of my knowledge, I am not that well versed in DuckTales

[Sigrdrifa12]

Why is "I have duck" incorrect? Is there a distinction between the name of the animal and the name of the food?

[alexm768]

There is a word "утятина" for the meat of a duck. Though, it is not widely used. Usually, "утка" is used for a duck and the duck meat. "Утка" is also a canard and a urinal (in health care).

[Piotr32629]

Please change the accent in the russian word duck. It should be Утка, not уткА.

[Zikriinov]

How about "I have ducks" is it у меня есть утки

[Neon_Iceberg]

Yes, "I have ducks" translates as "у меня есть у́тки"

[Kurt330322]

So im confused on why is it У мёня ёсть утка and not just ёсть or мёня sorry ik its not the right e but for some reason this keyboard doesnt have the regular one too

[rommster]

есть = is, there is

меня = me

у ≈ by, at

"У меня есть утка" literally means "By me (at me) there is a duck", "In my possession there is a duck".
Both "у меня" and "есть" are necessary.

[websmasha]

Anything new? You have all animals, Noah! Come back to me when you know all languages!

[Wingyfresh]

I'll use this duck as a counterweight when weighing women to see if they're made of wood, therefore being witches.

[Ppr89]

у меня есть Утка! А вот "уткА"-это неизвестный науке организм..

[ezam_]

Donaldski duck

[SylviaX83]

Is there a reason this could not be translated as "I have the duck"?

[thornofnight]

I, too, seem to have missed a rule. Why is 'the' not accepted?

[Lefira]

"утка": emphasis "у"

[guywithastone]

I wish I had one. ._.

[attackdogCN]

Why does the "у" in "утка" sound like "ю"?

[marimabe1]

I really would like to know, too

[Nessaja70]

Me too!

[itme_JC]

And I'm not afraid to use it!

[DaveHughes20]

I want a duck too!

[deactivated user]

I have a duck and im not afraid to use it

[VirtualSC2]

I have a question about this exercise, why утка and not (утка with accent on the y that i can't do on this phone)? I'm asking because duck word was introduced with the accent and not without.

[Oxidation2]

Why?
