- "твоя кровь"
59 Comments
My native language is Bulgarian which is from the same language family as Russian (Slavic Language Family). In Bulgarian "your blood" is used when talking about relatives. For example a father is talking about his son : "He is my flesh and blood".
was anyone else deeply disturbed by this sentence
also as my confident idiotic self i typed "your bed" because i thought krov' came from the same root as krovat' rip me
Is it just me, or is Duolingo preparing me for something I don't want to have to be prepared for...
This is made all the better by the fact that the etymological root of Crawford is either "blood river" or "Crow river" (and i like to believe the prior)
When he kidnapped your family and you are still missing your lessons......he knocks on the door and then..........
My blood type is over my sleeve, that's my ordinal number marked on my sleeve
the о in кровь sounds like a "у" or an "а" in this word, but should it not be stressed and say it's own name? Am I hearing wrong?
you're right about the vowel! Think of the palatalization (softness) of the following consonant leaking onto the vowel that precedes it and "raising" it a little bit. It sounds like "oi"
It should. Voiced consonants lose their voice at the end of the word. For example, зуб (tooth) is pronounced like "зуп." A final в will be pronounced like ф (whether hard or soft).
Oh, sorry! Voiced consonants are ones that have that vocal "buzz" going in your larynx when you pronounce them, like b, d, g, v, and z. The unvoiced counterparts for these consonants are, respectively, p, t, k, f, and s. Hope that's helpful.
you are right. However, there is the soft sign (ь) at the end of кровь, so would the в not be pronounced like a "v" as usual?

Что нашей кровью, кровью завоевано,
Мы никогда врагу не отдадим.
кровь (krovʹ) [krofʲ] f inan (genitive кро́ви, nominative plural кро́ви, genitive plural крове́й) "blood" From Proto-Slavic *kry, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *krū́ˀs, from Proto-Indo-European *krewh₂- (“blood of a wound”). Cognate with English raw and ree, Latin cruor (“blood(shed)”, whence Spanish cruento, "bloody" and incruento, "bloodless") and crudus ("raw, bloody, uncooked"), Lithuanian kraujas ("blood"), Welsh crau (“blood, gore, blood of carnage”), Irish cró (“blood”).
How often does this come up? Is it medical or having to do with family? Your blood, please.
I want a sentance involving a guy named vladimir in this lesson, and i want it now!
