Questions & Answers about Мы часто обсуждаем планы на выходные за ужином.
The basic word order here is:
- Мы – subject (we)
- часто – adverb (often)
- обсуждаем – verb (discuss)
- планы – direct object (plans)
- на выходные – what the plans are for (for the weekend)
- за ужином – when/where (at/during dinner)
So it’s essentially Subject – Adverb – Verb – Object – Adverbial phrases, very similar to English.
Russian word order is flexible, so you can move elements for emphasis, for example:
- Мы за ужином часто обсуждаем планы на выходные. (emphasis on at dinner)
- Часто мы обсуждаем планы на выходные за ужином. (emphasis on often)
But the original order is the most neutral and natural-sounding.
