Questions & Answers about Пожалуйста, подключись к сети Wi-Fi и открой урок в документе.

What does подключись mean and why is there a -сь at the end?

Подключись is the 2nd person singular imperative of подключиться, which literally means “to connect oneself.” The suffix -сь marks the verb as reflexive, so it’s instructing someone to “connect themselves” (i.e., “connect to”).

Which case follows подключиться, and why is it к сети Wi-Fi?

After подключиться, Russian uses the preposition к with the Dative case. So сеть changes to сети (dative singular). к сети Wi-Fi means “to the Wi-Fi network.”

Why is it сеть Wi-Fi and not Wi-Fi сеть?

In Russian, the head noun usually comes first (сеть = network) followed by its modifier (Wi-Fi). It’s like saying “network of Wi-Fi.” Although you might hear Wi-Fi сеть informally, сеть Wi-Fi is more standard and clear.

What role does Пожалуйста play at the beginning, and why is there a comma?

Пожалуйста means “please” and serves as a polite particle. When placed at the start of an imperative sentence, it’s set off by a comma from the main verb.
