What are the morphemes in this word? What parts is it made of?

[AndreasWitnstein]

The „у-“ prefix here indicates a purpose.

The „до-“ prefix here means “completely”.

The „воль-“ morph here means “desire”, from the Proto-Indo-European root *welh-, as in the English words “will” and “well”.

The „-ствие“ suffix means “-hood | -ness”.

Compare „дово́льный“=“pleased | satisfied | content | happy”.

[chirelchirel]

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed :)

[CindyALand]

Is there a website or dictionary that breaks words down like this?

[kvargman]

You can find a lot of it on Wiktionary.

[Dotters]

Same root as удовлетворить -- "to satisfy" I imagine (used to be удовольствовать), and the suffixes -ствие/-ство tend to conceptualize concrete objects. Can't find anything that goes any further.

[chirelchirel]

Thanks. I was hoping there would be something in the beginning like у-до-. Seeing morphemes helps me with spelling.

Is this the equivalent of "gern" in German?

[zirkul]

In some, but not all contexts. In Russian, you can use "C удовольствием" by itself, in response to someone suggesting/offering something that you will enjoy (e.g. Пошли в кино - Let's go to the movies). I don't think you can just say "gern(e)" here.

[AndreasWitnstein]

Actually, that's a common use of »Gerne!«.

[zirkul]

Thanks! I stand corrected. Then it seems that "c удовольствием" is quite equivalent to "gern(e)".

[Nardoel]

Of course you can use gern there, and you have also lieber (the comparative of gern, meaning rather), and am Liebsten (the superlative). Those words are very useful when you learn German, because you don't have to decline them and they are easy to use in a sentence :)

With joy? Marked wrong btw

[keinemeinung]

С радостью would be with joy.

[Johan214123]

I fail to find any pleasure in spelling this word.

[boryagin]

This is a fairly standatd word, not a hard one really. You have chosen a challenging task, mate. I never encourage people to learn Russian. After many years of studies, you won't talk like a native anyway.

[Johan214123]

But that is exactly what I do not want, talking like a native. I have always found that when people know you're not a native but you talk a bit of their language, you get so much more goodwill.

[boryagin]

Don't worry, you never will. I do admire your decision to learn Russian and persistence in studies. Learning other languages can only be praised.

[Johan214123]

Although, a couple of bottles of Шохона vodka will do the trick, surely...

[LutherF]

Is it ok to say "my pleasure"? Duo marked this as incorrect.

[zirkul]

Well... "My pleasure" is really a way of saying "you are welcome". Russian "с удовольствием" does not have that meaning; it indicates you eagerness to do something. In that, it is quite equivalent to just "happily/gladly" in English.

[boryagin]

Yes, that is a valid translation.

[NerysGhemor]

I've run across "я доволен..." before, with one of its translations as "I am satisfied with..."

This word seems related. Is "with satisfaction" also an acceptable translation or would that be something else?

[kosmozhuk]

No, not really.

And "I am satisfied with" is not very accurate translation for "я доволен". "I am pleased with" is more like it.

I am satisfied = я удовлетворен (feel OK with the result)

я доволен - feel better than OK with the result

"С удовольствием" is literally "with pleasure".

[NerysGhemor]

Thanks for the explanation!

[duolingoHepCat]

Why is "with happiness" incorrect?

[zirkul]

Both "С удовольствием" and "With pleasure" are fixed expressions indicating your eagerness (to do something) while "With happiness" is not.

[CarlosLeye1]

What's the difference between this word and счастливый?

[AndreasWitnstein]

„счастли́вый“ is an adjective, meaning “happy” (‘alegre’); the adverb would be „счастли́во“=“happily” (‘con alegría’).

„с удово́льствием“ is a adverb, meaning “with pleasure” (‘con agrado|gusto’, literally ‘con placer’).

[TheEnglishAugust]

Can this phrase be translated as "I'd love to" ?

[a22brad22]

When alone like this, yep!

[boryagin]

Yes, it can.
