Questions & Answers about На следующей консультации мы долго говорили про дыхание и расслабление.
What does «На следующей консультации» literally mean, and why is the preposition на used here?
«На следующей консультации» literally means “at the next consultation/appointment/session.”
- на in Russian is often used for:
- events and activities: на концерте (at the concert), на уроке (in class), на экзамене (at the exam), на встрече (at the meeting)
- here, консультация is treated as an event (a consultation session), so you say на консультации.
In English you’d use “at” or “during”, but in Russian the natural preposition in this context is на, not в.
Which case are «следующей» and «консультации» in, and why do they have those endings?
