WORD QUERY

Postby Gill » November 1st, 2008 6:38 pm

What is the correct expression for How to get to.

In this week's lesson, the phrase is:

Kak Prativ

But in a Beginners Russian book which I was using before the podcasts, it says:

Kak papast

Which is correct?

Gill, Kak prayti v ... and Kak papast' v... both are correct and widely used.

Kak papast' v... means " How to get to" (you may get there by transport or by foots)
Kak prayti v ... means the same, but more like "How to go to" (implies that you will go there afoot, not by transport)

I usually say Kak prayti v ... - just like Eric says in the lesson.
