"у нас дома"

Translation: at our home

[malchikrene]

I thought " we have a house" was the answer why not?

[212498873]

It is because " we have a house" means "у нас есть дом".

[Serebetta]

Why not "в нас дом"?

[Ormagoden]

В + prepositional
В нашем доме

[ma-ri-aaaa]

or в нашем доме - wait i think that would mean "in our house" like the thing it pertains to is in the house

while《у нас дома》is like (by) at our home so... я тоже не знаю oof

[ivovolt]

"At our place" would be an alternative version?

[Saskia4242424]

Should be. After all in English we say "my place" meaning "my home"

[Denis238941]

I don't got why the у is there.

[ivovolt]

Because "у нас" means something like "at ours", so it is "at our (at) home".

[waldyrious]

If the у already means "at", why do we have to use "дома" instead of "дом"?

[jpacc]

Does putting дома in a sentence really change the position of the stress from the second syllable to the first?

[johncummin7]

Depends on if its genetive singular or nominitive plural. If its genitive singular (or the adverb, до́ма, meaning at home) then the stress is on the first vowel, if its nominative plural then its on the second, дома́

[MAGIC_TOM]

Is У наш дом possible to say the same?

[Ormagoden]

No. у + genitive
У нас…
Наш — possessive adjective
Нас — pronoun (genitive)

[Rafaelcabrijana]

i too would like to know

[JoshDickie]

Why not "by our home"?

[neopolyglot]

What is wrong with "At our house?"

[Jonathan819538]

Remember a sentence such as Мама у него. Mother is with him/ at his place

Well, у него means with him.
If you said, мама у нас, it means Mother is with us.

So У нас дома is kinda like we are together at home

Thus we are home - У нас дома

[Davishiro]

Is it the same than наше дома? Because наш means "our", this what I've learned so far :s

[diga0110]

I think this means "our home" not "at our home"

[ben.emmamuel]

What instances change "Дом" to "Дома"? How should I recognize when to use which?

[Behnam199220]

As far as I understand, if you change a name from nominative to genitive; if it ends with consonant you'll add (a) at the end!

[Ormagoden]

Дом — house / home; noun (nominative).
Дома — at home.

[masrlinu]

What is the literal translation of this?

[Ormagoden]

«Дома» at home. In whose home/house? «У нас» ours. ∴ at our home.
Hope this helps.

[SybilleDav]

A normal way to express this in English would be “at our place”. This should be accepted.

[ThatcherHealy]

Why is it not, "y наше дома"?

[SantEurosia]

This is why Duolingo alone is terrible for learning Russian. I had to learn it elsewhere. In Russian everything is gendered. Male nouns end in й/consonant, females in а/я, and neuter/undefined/neutral/whatever end in o/e. And then there are the exceptions, which are very annoying...

With дом being a male noun, the possessive is нас. If it's a female, it's наша. If it's neutral, it's наше.

Наш телефон
Наша рубашка (dress shirt)
Наше море (sea)

Here's the list for male, female, neutral and plural (plural any gender)
Я - Мой / моя / моё / мои
Ты - твой / твоя / твоё / твои
Он - его / его / его / его (pronounced "iebO" for some legacy reason, instead of "iegO")
Она - её / её / её / её
Онo - его / его / его / его
Мы - наш / наша / наше / наши
Вы - ваш / ваша / ваше / ваши
Они - их / их / их / их

[medolina3]

Его is actually pronounced as "ieVo", not "iebo".

[wschutzer]

This is very useful. Спасибо!

[GildoTlahtoa]

I think the translation of "at our home" should be "у нашей дома", in dative case.

[SantEurosia]

This would be much easier if duolingo explained the actual grammar to these instead of just giving you examples. Still, дома suggests there is something "в дома", otherwise it would just say дом

[EranBarLev]

According to the tips, after в it should be в доме, not в дома.

[Vitor445476]

Doesn't it should be "В наш дома"?

[EranBarLev]

According to the tips, after в it should be в доме, not в дома. Not sure if наш should change too.

[romain111518]

i wrote " in our home" what is the difference between in or at . Can you explain it to me . Thanks for your answer . Romain

[Lupes_Inculta]

Why is "we are at home" not accepted?

[Kundoo]

That would be "мы дома".

[ThomasNguy4]

The audio is very hard to listen to.

[Cagatay0404]

В нашем доме would sound more genuine
