Questions & Answers about Вечером мы повесим гирлянду у окна, и в комнате сразу станет уютно и красиво.
Why is вечером used without a preposition? Does it mean in the evening?
Yes. Вечером means in the evening.
Russian often uses the instrumental case for parts of the day with no preposition:
- утром = in the morning
- днём = in the daytime / during the day
- вечером = in the evening
- ночью = at night
So Вечером мы повесим... is a very natural way to say In the evening we’ll hang...
Why is the verb повесим used here?
Повесим is the 1st person plural future form of повесить, a perfective verb.
That means:
- мы = we
- повесим = we will hang / we will put up
The perfective aspect is used because the speaker is talking about a completed action in the future: we will put the garland up, and the action will be done.
Compare:
- вешать = to hang, to be hanging, to hang repeatedly/process
- повесить = to hang up successfully, to put up
So повесим гирлянду suggests a one-time completed action: we’ll put up the garland.
Why does гирлянда become гирлянду?
