Okay.
Uh and I again forgot to come up with a title. How to name this short story?
Let's make it name it excursia.
Excursor excursion.
Excoria excursia.
First we're going to write the first part here on the board and we are going to translate it at the end. So try to translate each sentence by yourself.
Write the translation here in chat.
for Rana Rana V Ofus Veto.
Let's look for Very good. Next.
Did Rasa interior interior So uh let's um translate it talk about pronunciation verbs aspect and cases. So excursion, right?
Yesterday we met near to the school, next to the school early in the morning.
We uh sat on a bus and we went to a museum is to go by transportation. So uh or not stressed will be pronounced as a on our way.
We were talking and listening to music.
When y is not stressed, we pronounce it as e. When a is not stressed, pronounce it as a let's talk about verbs. So yesterday we met. This section is finished done. So we will use the verb in perfective aspect here one time action finished action right. So is perfective aspect imperfective is perfective.
So here we use perfective we said on a bus perfective as well because this section is finished done.
So is perfective and went is perfective as well.
These two verbs are in imperfective aspect here not perfective like in the first sentence. Here they are in imperfective solution.
Why? Because we are talking about here a process, a period of time when something was happening. This is why we will use imperfective because it was a process on the way during our trip. It was a process. We were listening and talking.
So imperfective imperfective guide told us many interesting things.
So he told us uh about many interesting things. The action is finished done. We have a result. We know this information already because he told us this. Soazal is perfective aspect, one time action, finished action. So only here in this sentence we have verbs in imperfective because we were talk we were we are talking about uh a period of time when something was happening process. In this case we will use imperfective aspect.
What about cases? So yesterday we met near the school. Next to the school.
Um yeah. So after which means near or next to the noun will be in genative case. So after became because it's genative. So if you see okala or if you use oka you should know that the noun after it will be in um genative case. So near the house near the school near the store and so on store school house will be in genative case. So here is an instrumental case. It's a time expression.
I hate when cats. Oh my god.
Oh So uh utra became in instrumental because we're talking about time here and it's an expression early in the morning. In the morning will be in instrumental case. So ofus set on a bus. Uh movement to uh direction uh of here is in a positive case but the endings ending will not be changed because it's a positive masculine in movement to another direction. So first it was into the bus. We move to the bus.
Then we move to the museum. Museum is inaccusive as well. Again nothing will happen here to this word because it's masculine inanimate inacquisitive nothing changes.
Next after po this preposition po on our way on our way after this po the noun will be in dative case. So became in dative.
This is the ending for dative feminine because feminine in dative it will change. A will be replaced with dative.
We were talking and we were listening to the music. Music here is an accusative case. In a minute if it was became inusive because this is the direct object of the verb. We were listening to what? To music. Music accusative case.
Shows us location at the museum.
Location. So here we will use the prepositional case because prepositional case shows us location. Where? At the museum.
after we always use genative. So monoga many uh many interesting things basically literally it means many interesting many interestings something like that here we have genative case after now let's read this part out loud I will ask you to practice with me I will give you time to repeat. Try to imitate my pronunciation.
Fore.

Or not stress pronounced as a here.
Um um we walked a little bit around the park. So is a little bit to take a walk around the park.
What about verbs?

We liked the excursion again. The action is finished. Done. We liked it. Perfect.
After we museum, we took a walk around the park. We took a walk. The action is finished. Done. So the verb is in perfective aspect. Done.
What about cases?
So I made a few photos. After the word a few, the noun will be in genative case.
genative. So, photography plural will become photography in genative plural is in theative here because it's the subject of the sentence after the museum after the word after the noun is in genative genative. So after after which means many after the noun is in genative case uh around the park p after p the after the noun is in dative case dative. So park park became park in dative case park.
