"Вам нужно молоко?"

Translation: Do you need milk?

Is it just me, or does it sound like там instead of вам, when played at normal speed?

[mosfet07]

Yes, it has some unrecognizable very short sound at the beginning.

[AlexFromAus]

I still hear something like "пам" which I don't even recognise lol.

[FunkyJuz]

And in the slow version i only hear "в" instead of "вам."

Her intonation does not indicate to a question

[Bettyru2]

For me, all of the questions on the Russian duolingo sound more or less like a statement.

[BaconChomper]

Is нужно a conjugated form of the verb нуждаться or another verb? I can't find a table/chart that includes нужно.

[mosfet07]

It's an indeclinable predicative.

[Royal_Gopnik]

...could you elaborate on what that means?!

[mosfet07]

These are in indeclinable words used in impersonal phrases like this. "нужно" doesn't agree with "Вам" and "молоко" because they both don't do an action. Just remember that "нужно" = "it is necessary" and "нужно было" = "it was necessary"

"можно" is another example: Можно мне взять немного молока? / May I have some milk?

[Kats87]

Why sometines you use ножны and other times нужно? Ы or o?

[Royal_Gopnik]

Oh ok that makes more sense, thank you!

How do you say 'some' or 'any' in Russian? Without an article you usually need one such word. The lack of an article explains why in English Russian speakers are identifiable in English.
