exRangerSeptember 2022 By correctly declining a given verb, most often (but not always) preserving the infinitive~present tense verb stem and adding an ”l” (”lo”, ”la”, or ”li”, depending on the gender/number of the subject) suffix. ”Alra” has pointed out several examples already, so I’ll not elaborate. But, suffice to say, simple past tense suffixization in Russian w/ the ”l” is akin to past tense suffixization in English w/ the ”ed” thing. But remember: BOTH languages have a LOT of verbs whose ”past tense” forms deviate from these simple formulas and are thus ”irregular” past tense forms. |

DelaSimonJuly 2023 I never thought about how we express the Past in Russian) Tha’s a very cool question. You can make any Russian native think by this question. I doubt skmeone from Russia can give you comprehensive answer) All depends of word I think. For example: The verb говорить. Я говорил, она говорила, он говорил, мы говорили, вы говорили, они говорили. The verb жить. Я жил, он жил, она жила, мы жили, вы жили, они жили. The verb слушать. Я слушал, ты слушал, он слушал, она слушала, мы слушали, вы слушали, они слушали. I guess that’s hard to English speakers to understand Russian times) |
