"The ginger cat likes to eat fish."

Translation: Рыжий кот любит есть рыбу.

[servolock]

Is there some reason we can't use нравиться in this case?

[mosfet07]

Have you used the proper forms of the adjective, noun and the verb?

The correct sentence should be "Рыжему (dative) коту (dative) нравится (3rd person sing.) есть рыбу"

[JhSocha]

what is the difference between use кот, кошке, кошка

[Alexander285995]

кот is a male cat, кошка is a female cat. кошке can be dative or prepositional case of кошка.

[Henry741757]

Is there also a general term for either sex?

[geneven]

In English, "cat" does not refer to the sex of the cat. "Tomcat" is used less commonly. So I would assume that in Russian, "кот" is used less often and "кошка" is the typical term and doesn't refer to the sex of the animal, correct?

[Bradley301069]

Said I needed the ь on ect.. Why? It marked as ok with a spelling error.

[aceman357]

"ест" is the third-person singular conjugation of the verb; "есть" is the infinitive, which is what is needed here

[Matthew-215401]

These words never mean anything to me without examples. :/
Is third person singular like "he is eating"..?

[Antixity]

Yes

[AndrBallon]

Я тоже

[RoboBobberto]

Is this a tongue twister?

[Rumata_]

I don't think so.

[MagmaLedle21]

Can you use рыбы?

[Rumata_]

No. In this case рыба is either a mass noun or a single noun. You can say рыб (the plural form in the genitive) if you mean the certain fishes, but it would sound awkward. We don't say that.

[KotsosAlex]

how would the construction be , if i wanted to use нравится instead of любить in this sentence ? thanks

[Rumata_]

Рыжему коту нравится есть рыбу. the cat would be in the dative.
