Russian language determines three types of nouns: masculine gender, feminine gender and neuter gender.
Masculine gender includes nouns that end on a consonant such as
Kot – male cat
Divan – sofa, couch
Televizor – TVset
Stol – table
Stul – chair
Tsvetok – flower etc
Today we will learn the particle NE which means negative in Russian such as NO, NOT, DON’T, DOESN’T WON’T, DIDN’T, HAVEN’T HASN’T.
Examples:
Da- yes
Net - no
Ya znayu - I know. It can be shortened to "znayu" and it will still mean "I know", not "we", "he", "she" or anyone else besides "I".
Ya ne znayu - I don't know. Can be shortened to "ne znayu"
Navernoe - probably, perhaps
Mozhet byt - maybe
Tochno - exactly, precisely, right, for sure, absolutely
Ya tochno znayu - I am absolutely sure, I know for sure
Tochno ne znayu - I'm not sure or depending on the intonation it may also mean "I'm sure I don't know (about it)"
-Tochno? - Are you sure?
-Tochno! - I am sure!
In summer I got a Russian language textbook called “Russian Grammar” by Natalia Lusin. It looks this way.
