Russian - Turkish Dictionary
[ʂto]
Что is a versatile Russian word meaning 'what' as an interrogative pronoun, or 'that' as a conjunction introducing clauses. In Turkish, it translates as ne (question), ki (conjunction), or bundan korkarak (for fear that).
| # | Type | Russian | Turkish |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | conjunction | что connecting a noun clause | ki |
| 2 | pronoun | что what? (interrogative pronoun) | ne |
| 3 | conjunction | что for fear that | bundan korkarak |
Что ты делаешь?
Ne yapıyorsun?
Я знаю, что ты прав.
Senin haklı olduğunu biliyorum.
Я боюсь, что он опоздает.
Onun geç kalacağından korkuyorum.
Что functions as both a question word and a subordinating conjunction—context determines which. As an interrogative, it never takes case marking in the nominative form but does decline in other cases (чего, чему, чем, о чём). As a conjunction, it is invariable and typically introduces noun clauses or causal clauses.
