What does each word in the sentence Я люблю лето mean?
Я means I, люблю is the first person singular present form of to love, and лето means summer.
Why does the noun лето not change its form even though it is the object of the verb?
In Russian, many inanimate neuter nouns—including лето—have identical forms in the nominative and accusative cases. This is why лето remains unchanged when used as the object of люблю.
How is the verb люблю formed from любить, and what is its conjugation pattern?
The verb любить follows a regular conjugation pattern. For the first person singular present tense, любить becomes люблю. Other forms include ты любишь (second person singular) and он/она/оно любит (third person singular). This pattern helps indicate the subject performing the action.
Can the word order in Я люблю лето be rearranged, and what effect does that have?
Yes, Russian word order is quite flexible because the case endings clarify the grammatical roles. For example, Лето я люблю shifts the emphasis onto summer rather than the subject I, though the overall meaning remains the same.

Yes. In люблю, the stress typically falls on the first syllable (ЛЮблю), and in лето, the stress is also on the first syllable (ЛЕто). Paying attention to these stress patterns can help you sound more natural.
