How do we know when use професія or професію ?

[Miroslavka_R]

Subject goes with «професія», object - «професією»

No no no this case is no accusative! Its the instrumental. Професія професію професією !!!

[Miroslavka_R]

Why not "by occupation"?

[pagorek]

How do you pronounce the last word "професією"? Are the two last letters "єю" pronounced similar to "ї" or English word "YEAst"? Any rules concerning this two letters occouring together?

[Miroslavka_R]

Є sounds like “YEs”, ю - “YOU”

What is this, literally translated? I don't understand the structure of the sentence.

[grey236]

Yes, I actress for/by profession. What do you not understand about the structure

[BryanSullo]

Thanks. I'd not seen the word, "професією", yet, so I was unsure of the meaning. I forgot that "за" meant for/by. I guessed "I am an actress." as the answer, and it took it, but that could be said more simply ("Так, я актриса."), so I was confused.

Okay :)
