"You do not have a car."

Translation: У тебе немає машини.

[Zonia435615]

Якої 'машини'?
(А general term for 'machine' not just a 'car/automobile' 'Автомашини'? Sewing machines? ATO Tanks? Hydraulic machines? Farm combines? Etc.... There are SO many specific 'machines'! 'Автомашина' is the specific term for 'automobile'(a.k.a. 'car'.)

You are right, "машина" can mean any machine in Ukrainian, but it is also a common word for "car." So, if you are asked "У вас є машина?" (and the context does not suggest something different) then "car" is meant.

[GeneM.]

I thought this would be У мене немає машин (genitive, right)

[punk-hobbit]

i'm still quite new on this course but i think "у мене немає" is "i do not have," while the question says to translate "you do not have" which is "у вас немає" or "у тебе немає"

[Tielbert]

Yes, certainly, the question is about YOU.

[Tielbert]

немає машин is good for plural. Немає машини is about singular car. Cf: I don't have a car. I don't have cars.

[joseph974696]

Can i say "u vas " instead of " u tebe"

[skstudio]

Yes, you can.

[MaroonShaded]

What's the difference between "у вас" and "у тебе"?

[linneasr2]

I imagine 'y bac' is more formal than 'y teбе', as 'vous' is more formal than 'tu'. It would be good to have this confirmed by a more experienced speaker, thiugh.

[Tielbert]

Surely, you are right. You use Ви just as the French vous or German Sie.
