    Это вы об Украине, ...где вы живёте?

    Translator's comment

    Sometimes when we seek to confirm information, we use the form of a statement, but with a questioning intonation. Very often, these types of questions are preceded by "and": (And) you've known him for five years?

A: we have a home in the United States and a home in Europe. Lately work has been hard to find and we're thinking of selling the house. B: This is in the Ukraine, where you live? A: No, sorry, in Florida, where we have our summer home.

Uly, we'd say:
Ты живешь на Украине, да?
Ты ведь на Украине живешь?

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Grumbler, "wHere". И по-русски мы так не говорим, ведь :)

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment 7 years ago

That's not what the question means. It means: Вы имеете в виду на Украине?...где вы живёте, да?

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment 7 years ago

Grumbler, there's no reason to correct the inversion in this question it's correct. It's a different kind of query.

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment 7 years ago

Read my little dialogue above speaker (B) is confirming that he has the right information, not asking for new information. "this is...?" = "ты о..., да?

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment 7 years ago

A: When I lost my job, my own family told me I had to move out of the house if I couldn't pay my part of the rent. B: This is your mother? A: Yes, my own mother evicted me.

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment 7 years ago

(= just to confirm, you're talking about your mother, right?)

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

I see, Uly what you mean. In this context your translation is correct!
Couldn't it be just a separate question?

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

By the way, you didn't correct "were" )
I mean, can we translate this question "Is this in Ukraine where you live?" like Ты на Украине живешь, да? Ты, ведь, на Украине живешь? Ты с Украины, ведь?

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment 7 years ago

No, those questions are seeking new information, the speaker doesn't know where you live. With "This is in the Ukraine, where you live?" is confirming information the speaker already knows.

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

And "where", please correct it and I 'll give you my like😄
