Let's look at the dialogue. |
When I read, I want you to pay attention to the words showing a hobby. |
Find what these words are and see how they’re used in the dialogue. |
Какое у тебя хобби? |
(Kakoye u tebya chobbi?) |
What's your hobby? |
Моё хобби - рыбалка. |
(Moyo chobbi - rybalka). |
My hobby is fishing. |
The question. |
Какое у тебя хобби? |
(Kakoye u tebya chobbi?) |
The answer. |
Моё хобби - рыбалка. |
(Moyo chobbi - rybalka). |
“У тебя” (“u tebya”) is the formal version of the word "your". |
You can also say "твоё" (“tvoyo”) instead of “у тебя” (“u tebya”). |
For example, “Какое твоё хобби?” (“Kakoye tvoyo chobbi?”). |
The meanings of these words are the same. |
And the informal version of the word “your” is "у вас" (“u vas”) or “ваше” (“vashe”). |
For example, “Какое у вас хобби?” (“Kakoye u vas chobbi?”) |
Or “Какое ваше хобби?” (“Kakoye vashe chobbi?”). |
This formal pronoun is usually capitalized to show respect for the other person. |
And now let's look at some speaking examples. |
Моё хобби - путешествия. |
(Moyo chobbi - puteshestviya). |
My hobby is traveling. |
Моё хобби - путешествия. |
(Moyo chobbi - puteshestviya). |
Моё хобби - плавание. |
(Moyo chobbi - plavaniye). |
My hobby is swimming. |
Моё хобби - плавание. |
(Moyo chobbi - plavaniye). |
Моё хобби - чтение. |
(Moyo chobbi - chteniye). |
My hobby is reading. |
Моё хобби - чтение. |
(Moyo chobbi - chteniye). |
By the way Russia is one of the countries where people read the most. |
People read in the subway, on buses, in lines. |
Now ebooks are the most popular. |
Russians prefer to read psychological, motivational, professional literature |
but they also don't forget about fiction. |
Now let's look at the sentence pattern. |
This pattern will be the structure that all of our dialogues will follow. |
Моё хобби - [hobby]. |
(Moyo chobbi - [hobby]). |
My hobby is [hobby]. |
The word [hobby] can be a noun, as shown in today's lesson, or a verb. |
The word “cooking” as a noun does not have a proper translation in Russian |
that could be shown as one word. |
The word “готовка” (“gotovka”) has a little bit of an informal connotation. |
It would be better to use the verb “готовить” (“gotovit’”), which means "to cook". |
“Моё хобби - готовить” |
(Moyo chobbi - gotovit’). |
