Anita says:
Hello, in the first example, both in the text and the audio the accent is on the first syllable of Бо́льшую,but shouldn’t it be on the second syllable? Thanks.
Learn Russian Words says:
Hi Anita,
We have two versions of this word with different meaning depending on the accent:
– бОльшая means “the bigger part, the majority, the most”
– большАя simply means “big”
Anita says:
Does the бОльшая have masculine and neutral forms as well? Could you give me some examples? Thanks.
Learn Russian Words says:
Yes, of course. But it’s only tricky with the feminine and plural forms, as others have different endings for different meanings/accents, so you can get the meaning by the ending:
– большОй -> бОльший (masc.)
– большАя -> бОльшая (fem.)
– большОе -> бОльшее (neut.)
– большИе -> бОльшие (plur.)
[big -> bigger]
