"Мои лошади пьют."

Translation: My horses are drinking.

[Alexander2017397]

How would the pronunciation differ between "пьёт" and "пьют"? I'm having trouble distinguishing the sounds of the letters. Could just be an app issue.

[keinemeinung]

One sounds likе "p-yo-t", the other is more like "p-yu-t".

Is a лошадь a horse of either gender? Or does it mean a mare, and конь a stallion?

[Dary855844]

Mare = кобыла
Stallion = жеребец
Gelding = мерин

[daughterofAlbion]

Thank you. So what is a конь then?

[Hrafnunga]

A steed, else a generic word for horse.

[piguy3]

Russian Wiktionary gives "лошадь, обычно самец." Also, the chess piece or the pommel horse in gymnastics.

[JewishPolyglot]

I'll hitch them to the wagon soon. Let's hope they don't get arrested this time :)

[nDroae]

We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces
singing "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses."

[whitec113]

im so glad im not the only one who thought of that

[Muzzy101]

i dont know where this is from or if it is from anywhere but take my lingot anyway!

[Girl_in_Green]

Your horses are outlaws?

[JewishPolyglot]

No, but they have a tendency to drink and drive :)

[Dimidov]

That is a terrible joke. XD I'll have to remember it.

[danlsong]

Doesn't the "i" in moi have an accent above it? й as apposed to и

[TahitiTrotsky]

мой--masc. sing.
моя--fem. sing.
моё--neut. sing.
мои--plural

[R_Andersson]

Also, if this is an alphabet issue,

и=[i] (like ee in ‘meet’)

й=[j] (like y in York).

[DianaNguyen07]

How do you pronounce "лошади"? To me, the "л" in that words sounds like it is between an "l" and a "v"

[LukaVukZrinski]

In this case pronounce it L. Audio quality makes some words here come out slightly weird.

[_Maria_B._]

Ee. The и is ee.

[AhmadHamid10]

When we use, пить, пьёт, пьют?

[keinemeinung]

Just have to study conjugation charts for verbs. In your question, пить is the infinitive (to drink), пьёт is for third person singular subject (he/she/it), пьют is for third person plural subject (they).

[Bilegdembe]

How do you make a difference between saying My horses are drinking AND My horses drink? Present tense vs continuous tense? Can someone clarify this one for me

[keinemeinung]

You don't, in Russian they both translate as this sentence. If you want to make a distinction, you have to add more words/phrases to specify.

[mightynoa]

пьёт or пьют?

[Dimidov]

Definitely пьют. Considering пьёт is singular and we are talking about more than one horse, you will want the 3rd person plural version, which is пьют.

[Partigiano_Rosso]

Even the horses do it in Russia.

[Leah911686]

Are they drinking молоко?

[Crystal189260]

Could this also be translated "my horses drink" instead of "are drinking?"

[Phil_Stracchino]

виски для моих мужчин, пиво для моих лошадей

[kdammers]

On repeated listening, even knowing what the word is, I only hear пью, and not пьют.

[FlortFlorp]

Horse go "slorp slorp slorp"

[melinson]

What's wrong with "My horses drink."?

[MANUEL969273]

Is there a russian continuous present. If not what is the difference between my horses drink (wrong) and my horses are drinking (correct)??

[SubaruOkiya]

Не "лошадИ", а "лОшади".

[pepyta333]

Useful phrase. I would like to learn something more practical....Dear Owl, please!

[Shadow911...]

You're in the "animals" skill, it's bound to happen...

[behlul8]

i think льют shoul read as 'liyut' not 'libyut'

[Eddygp]

it's пьют, not льют
