Breakdown of Мой почерк становится аккуратнее, когда я пишу медленнее.
Questions & Answers about Мой почерк становится аккуратнее, когда я пишу медленнее.
Because почерк is a masculine noun in Russian, so it takes the masculine form of my: мой.
- мой = my (masculine)
- моя = my (feminine)
- моё = my (neuter)
- мои = my (plural)
So:
- мой почерк = my handwriting
It is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence.
In Мой почерк становится аккуратнее, the thing that is changing is my handwriting, so почерк is the subject:
- Мой почерк = the thing that becomes neater
Становится means becomes / is becoming. Russian uses становиться when something changes into a new state.
So:
- Мой почерк становится аккуратнее = My handwriting becomes neater / is getting neater
This is different from simply describing a state. The sentence is about change, not just a fixed quality.
