learn_russianHi all,
I'm having a bit of trouble with imperfective vs. perfective. If anyone could translate these sentences (preferably with explanation), I would be very appreciative! I'm going to use "to buy" as the example, since I was having trouble with it in class.
1. I would like to buy this item (right now).
2. I'd love to buy that (eventually).
3. Every week, I buy a gallon of milk.
4. When I see something I like, I buy it.
5. I need to buy some potatoes at the market.
6. Can you go buy some potatoes at the market for me?
And any other examples you can think of...
Большое спасибо!
