Questions & Answers about Мы печатаем отчёт вечером в офисе.

Does Мы печатаем mean “we print” or “we are printing”?

It can mean both “we print” and “we are printing,” depending on context.

Russian has only one present tense form, so:

• Мы печатаем отчёт.
  • can be understood as:
    • We print the report (a regular action / habit), or
    • We are printing the report (right now / at some point this evening).

English distinguishes simple present vs present continuous; Russian doesn’t. The imperfective present (печатаем) covers both ideas; the context tells you which one is meant.

Why is the verb печатаем used here and not пишем or распечатываем?
