"Где ваши тетради?"

Translation: Where are your notebooks?

[Lytchee]

Isn't "textbook" a synonym for "notebook" ?

[zirkul]

A textbook - an actual printed book with some educational material. In Russian - "учебник".
A notebook is where you write your own notes. In Russian - "тетрадь".

[.DJX7]

"Тетрадь" is more about "exercise book" or "workbook" - A4 or A5 what you use in school or at work.
Small Book for short notes is "Записная книжка" (literally - "small book for notes").
A small computer is "ноутбук".

[Corbillard]

I wrote "Где ваше тетраде" and got it right. Why ?

[ValentinSe14370]

ваши and not ваше

[aadov]

my solution is good. Ваши тетради are both nominatif plural

[marcopacif2]

Why not вас?

[kevin837020]

the subject of this sentence is "your notebooks", not you, and use ваши for plural .

so if use вас, it become "where are you, notebooks?" in google translate.

[Mark915072]

But could a correct solution be "ваш" notebooks? for example if a teacher was addressing numerous students who forgot their notebooks?

[kevin837020]

ваш is one or plural persons have one of something, ваши is one or plural persons have lots of somethings, it is not fitting your example using ваш.

it was already said in comment of BorisDessy that "pointing to many things because of "i" (и) ".

[Mark915072]

Ah ha. Ok, that helps. Thanks!

[RavenHawke1]

what is the difference between all of the "yours"?
