"Камень возле дерева."

Translation: The stone is near the tree.

[matt2112]

Is there any reason 'A stone is near the tree' shouldn't be accepted?

[Randonneur3]

Well I reported that, cos it is still not accepted.

[ellablun]

articles are not part of russian and should not count as errors

[JSamulski]

I heartily agree

[MarvelBoi]

Why is дерево in the genetive and not the prepositional case?

[Toni31044]

Возле requires genitive

[b.g.griffin]

Particularly when my Russian mother in law is being demanding, these sentences seem most Faithfully translated in cave-man English :

"Stone. Near. Tree."

[mickchilders]

Yes. Same here. Show me the difference between"a stone" and "the stone".

[Loekild]

I wonder... I've seen 'у' used as 'near' before... what's the difference between возле and у?

[Jamie1531]

"A stone near a tree?"

[NoamKriten]

That's not a complete sentence in English.

[b.g.griffin]

The Russian sentence doesn't have a verb either - - so a sentence fragment or a clause seems a fair translation to me.

How can one day "there is a stone close to the tree"? Thanks!
