| A question regarding pluralisation in Russian |
[Дек. 10, 2008|02:01 pm] |
A client has asked - do you have separate words for singular and plural in Russian, e.g. would you have one word for 'comment' and another word for 'comments'?
Our Reply:
Re your question, yes, there are 'comment' and 'comments' in Russian, eg there may be a comment on a report, or a comments column in a table. (But there isn't plural for 'bikini', or, say, 'kangaroo', as these are foreign words that do not end in a consonant or -a like Russian.
Another question regarding pluralisation:
With regards to the Russian words if we need to pluralize a words such as "item" does the pluralization depend on the quantity of items that are being pluralized?
Phrased in a more general way: Is there ever more than one way to pluralize a single Russian word?
Our Reply:
* When explicitly used with a counting number, the form for 2,3 and 4 items is identical to singular genitive case.
For 5 - 20 items it's plural genitive.
Then,
21, 31, ..., 101 ... = 1 - always singular (like '21 item').
22-24, ..., 102-104, 122-124 ... = 2 - 4 25-30, ... 105-120, ... = 5 - 20
So, we have 1 item (singular), 2,3 and 4 'item-a', 5-20 'item-ov'
* When not counted, then it's a singular 'item' and plural 'item-y', either subject to 6 cases including the nominative (original).
Our Reply 2:
-- I just realised that it's a noun only that is singular genitive, but an adjective to it would be plural genitive.
It is a plural adjective coupled with a singular noun, both genitive.
In addition, if the numbers 2, 3 and 4 are themselves in the genitive or other indirect case ("Of 2 items...") then the trailing adjectives and nouns are all plural.
I guess we Russians don't get confused because 2, 3 and 4 end in a vovel, while 5-20 - in a consonant, and that flags in our top-of-shoulders computers.
