Pizza птица! This is better than my other method of remembering the difference! ;-D

[jimnice]

Just can't unsee that!

What is the difference between мой and моя?

[deactivated user]

Мой is a masculine form, моя is feminine. (I can see you're learning Portuguese, so мой = meu, моя = minha.)

There's also a third form, моё, of neuter gender.

[JewishPolyglot]

Thanks! Have a lingot

[JayColly]

And a fourth, мои, for plural.

[Nidhi667324]

Then shouldnt моё, мой and моя also be acceptable?

[JayColly]

AFAIK, probably not. I believe the pronoun should agree with the grammatical gender of the word. Птица is grammatically feminine. Now what you do when the bird is actually male I couldn't tell you.

[deactivated user]

Now what you do when the bird is actually male I couldn't tell you.

If this is absolutely crucial to tell the bird is male, you could add an apposition, «моя́ пти́ца-саме́ц», or something like this.

THIS CLEARS UP SO MANY THINGS! Thank you!! I've been struggling to learn when to use the right "my" where.

птица птица птица, птица это слово

[KsenyaPlum]

Is it птичка (according to Google Translate), or птица (according to Duolingo)? Which is correct- птичка or птица??

[YanivDagan]

Птица/ птицка?
Duo said i have a typo in writing птица.

[Todd837918]

There is no difference in pronunciation between 'bird' and pizza with this speaker.

[Animus682526]

How do I form the word птицу from птица? I understand they mean "bird" and "a bird" respectively, but what are the rules for changing words to this form?

[keith184683]

Hiw is it not 'myya fuchista'?

[AhmadHamid10]

Are all animals considered as feminine?

Моя мышы, моя птица...

[JayColly]

Here are a few masculine examples: мой слон, кот, жираф.

[Emre929613]

Then pizza must be called bird

How can i download azbuka?

[RichWood9]

This is slang in the UK for "my girlfriend", I'm guessing it would not be the same in Russia?
