"Моя мама работает в галерее."

Translation: My mom works at the gallery.

Can gallery be also a shopping centre in Russian, as it is in Polish, or only an art gallery?

[Nemesis_NaR]

It was mentioned in an other discussion - some shopping centers may be called "Gallery" or галериа or whatever, but that's the specific name and not the general term for a shopping center.

So no, only an art gallery is correct.

[BoMyK]

И тем не менее некоторые торговые центры используют в своих названиях слово "галерея", например "Галерея Водолей" в Москве. Хотя конечно если вы спросите "Где галерея?" без уточнения, то будете поняты именно как ищущий артгалерею, а не торговый центр.

I too wanted to ask this!

[LukaVukZrinski]

The sound for галерее seems awful here. Is the stress on the "ee"?

[Neon_Iceberg]

Галере́е

[spanishlegend27]

Think of it as 'ye ye'

[Yuri-Isaenko]

"works in the gallery" and "works at the gallery" - what difference ?

[JewishPolyglot]

In this case, little or nothing

[keinemeinung]

Technically, "in the gallery" means she works inside the building. "At the gallery" can mean either she works inside the building, or on the territory of the gallery (perhaps she does the landscaping and gardening for the gallery, so her work is "outside" the gallery). Pretty nuanced though, you're fine to say either one.

[Yuri-Isaenko]

Thank you. Now it is more clearly for me.

[angkorbeer]

I thought the rule is "Exception: Replace “ия”, it becomes “ии” "
is this an exception of an exception

[keinemeinung]

I wouldn't say it's an exception - the ending is not - ия but -ея

[Jaap_R]

So -ея in nominative becomes -ее in the locative?

[angkorbeer]

right. my mistake. thanks.

[GuizaoC.acento]

Why it is галерее and not галерея?

[franklinfranks]

галерее is prepositional/locative singular (and also dative sing.)

[Alecks210]

Sounds like the"р " is a "д"

[Ethan30211]

Ugh, I find any version of галерея so hard to pronounce. I feel like I'm making a д sounds at the р

[X1YcGfTz]

Oops, false friend in many languages.
I understood "Meine Mutter arbeitet auf der Galeere" (German), "Ma mère travaille comme galérien" (French). In English, that would be something like "My mom is working as a galley slave".
In Russian, would that be "Моя мама работает в галере." ?

[E-chan.]

That would be "...на галере".

[stefansever]

why "works FOR the gallery" is wrong?

[keinemeinung]

@stefansever - It's kind of semantics, but a person could work at a place while not working for it. For instance, if she works at an independent Cafe located in the gallery.

[stefansever]

That was a great answer! Thank you!

[beniDeutschland]

It is broken, the solution is alread there as in many other similar exercises. Plz fix this.

[Teme440461]

The example answer without "The" was deemed wrong. What in this sentence makes this gallery a certain gallery that requires "the"?
