I had a few questions about Russian really quickly:
In the accusative for masculine nouns, the adjectives do not change for the inanimate. However, do the adjectives change for the masculine animate? Particularly the ones that have feminine endings? Also, about double negatives. When one says "I want nothing" or "I don't want anything" would you say: Я не хочу ничего"? Also I noticed that the direct object changes from the accusative case to the genitive case in a negative sentence. Is this true? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sooooo, in what way do the adjectives change with masculine animate nouns that change?

Yes. Simple demonstration: "to see a dead man alive" увидеть живого мертвеца (живой мертвец) увидеть живого покойника (покойник) но увидеть живой труп (труп) The 2 former dead men are animate, the latter (body) is in-animate. Funny, eh? Edited by Siberiano on 14 March 2010 at 7:08pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
