Thank you for writing a comment I could comprehend.

I'm a native English speaker and I had to think about that.

The number of "that" is crazy in this sentence 😂

@@fryloc359 that's because the sentence is lacking a referent/context, i.e. no previous mention of any "that" written by the student so as to necessitate the use of the second "that" ("that" being a demonstrative pronoun implying the presence of a referent, which is to say, as opposed to "this"). Standing alone, it's awkward and feels artificial; though it's arguably grammatically correct, i'd say it's stylistically flawed, an ersatz phrase designed to show multifarious usage. Typically, one would say "I realized that the "that" that the student wrote," or, for maximum thatitude, we'd require contextualization, eg "This use of "that" is common, that one less so, so this student's "that" was one thing, whereas I realized that that "that"- that that student wrote- was another." That was fun!

When a word is written five times in a row and used three different ways.

Sure, but how many fingers are not being put up? Axaxaxa

or... бургер за 499 руб.. which doesn't translate to burger because of 499 rubles...

ZA STALINA!

@Sound Engineer Звукоинженер "antipode of", meaning the reverse/the opposite! :)

@peterSV11 not really a direct answer since im also learning myself, but I am sure duolingo is accurate, though I do not use it. if I were thinking about how to say it I think I would say "какой это хлеб?" какой (male) is just the word for like which/ what kind of

@peterSV11 the expression за что means what kind of. « что это за дом» means what kind of house is this. You can convey the same thought by saying « какой это дом. There are such expressions that don’t have a literal translation in English such as Только что, как раз and so on

If "ЗА" is used as "behind" and "chase" is instrumental. If you use it as "because of" it's accusative.

It's a little more complicated than this if "ЗА" is used for behind

Yes, you can definitely use it. But be careful, since it's not going to be the case every time.

thank you for your kind reply :D I've finished the course at Duolingo and I'm not sure where to advance :) (such sentences with на appear A LOT in those lessons)

Знам да је овај коментар већ годину дана стар, али мораш сматрити "для" као српско "за". На руском "за" је сличније нашем "због". Некад на српском можемо да преместимо ,,због,, да буде ,,за,, као што је могуће на елгнеском с "because of" & "for". Надам се да је ово помогло.

Be Fluent In Russian Спасибо за помощь! Теперь я понимаю

Instead of you

That's right! Instead of, or in replacement to.

I think you can use both and any Russian would understand you.

He was wrong, свою is better, the best is to omit it at all.

If you wanna say that your efforts were wasted, it's я делаю это зря.

Atlantis thanks, but my question is whay if I insist to use this construct, what is the "for" mean, and what should I use ??

if you want to use it word to word as in English you can say Я делаю это задарма" In this case за+дарма are put together

Not all set expressions are translated into Russian word to word. In this case Russian has its own expression without for.

EK thanks for helping

из-за is "because of" while за is a preposition, and we've covered it in this video. So, they are way different, while having similar spelling.

Кошка выскочила из-за дивана The cat jumped out from behind the couch. Кошка выскочила из-под дивана. The cat jumped out from under the couch.

Yeah, из-за is not the same as за. But you are right!

Sounds like some Shrek propaganda.

Я за рукой ...it's correct coz it's takes instrumental ending ...but за мою работу...

When you're behind something (physically, location), then you'd use instrumental. You're physically behind something. While, when you get something for some other action (for my work, in your example), then that would be accusative. Because you deserve it.

Jeremy, I must correct you. The word "for" CAN mean "because." Or simular meanings. Examples: I will sentence my enemies to the gulag, for I am King! I will save the day, for I am good! I will starve to death, for I have no food! I will stuff my mouth with food, for I do as I so please!

@@satan5888 No. That's "because," and not "because of." Read carefully before you try to correct someone, because my inclusion of that preposition was no mistake.

@@FifthCoast You didn't read my comment closely either. I said "or simular meaning." It is a close enough meaning. The meaning is basically the same. My correcting you stands, and I am correct. Period. End of discussion.

@@satan5888 Your comment is the equivalent of painting a target around an already-thrown arrow, but I'll entertain it anyway. Your intention, as stated, was that you "must correct me." You then proceeded to use examples in which only "because" and not "because of" (a preposition in its own right) would have been correct. I know your mind is too feeble to grasp this, so I'll draw out an example for ya - "because" and "because of" are as different as "on" and "onto." In NEITHER of these pairs are the words interchangeable or indescrete. And here's another one, just for shits n giggles: "The country is doomed ***because of*** its economy". Try swapping "because of" with "because" / "for" here, and you will see that in NO case can one stand in for the other. In fact, the erroneous version with "for" has a completely different meaning, just as I was saying. NOTE: completely different. Not "similar [in] meaning," as you tried to retort with. Similarly, in not one of your examples could "because of" have stood in for "for." Rather than confuting, you unwittingly UPHELD the point I was making. So you are not only an annoying, self-righteous pest, but also wrong. Want me to spell that out for you? W.R.O.N.G! Your pathetic attempt to have the last word with "period. end of discussion" makes that NO less true :)) But... I can't really blame you for being in denial though, since you're also in denial about that make-believe hippie in the sky called God

@@FifthCoast YOU'RE THE IDIOT! YOU have NO right to deny the existence of God!!! I took up learning Russian to prove that I have intelligence to all the assholes who put me down! I am going to make it big! And when people ask me how far will I go, I say I will go as far as I choose to go! I will make something of myself and leave all of you assholes in the dust! Let's make a bet! I bet there is an afterlife. When we are both dead, if I turn out right, you have to be my slave for eternity!

Для is followed by genitive

Lucas H thank you... :)

BRYAN TERMULO OFFICIAL для is followed by genitive, за is followed by accusative or either by instrumentalis (depending if it means direction behind an object or position behind it)
