Дочка хочет вырезать звёзды из бумаги и приклеить их к стене рядом с окном.

Дочка is a very common everyday word for daughter. It is related to дочь, which is the basic dictionary form, but дочка often sounds warmer, more familiar, or more natural in ordinary speech.

So:

• дочь = daughter, more neutral/formal/literary
• дочка = daughter, common and affectionate in tone

Both are correct, but дочка fits very naturally in a sentence like this.

Because the subject is дочка, which is she and singular.

The verb хотеть means to want, and here you need the 3rd person singular form:

• я хочу = I want
• ты хочешь = you want
• она хочет = she wants

So дочка хочет = the daughter wants.

After хотеть, Russian normally uses the infinitive when the same person wants to do the action.

So:

• дочка хочет вырезать = the daughter wants to cut out
• дочка хочет приклеить = the daughter wants to stick/glue

This is the same pattern as English wants to do something.

If the subject changed, Russian would usually use a different structure, often with чтобы.

Because the sentence says she wants to do two actions:

1. вырезать звёзды из бумаги = cut stars out of paper
2. приклеить их к стене = stick them to the wall

Both infinitives depend on хочет. In English, this is exactly like:

She wants to cut out stars from paper and stick them to the wall.

Резать means to cut in a general sense.

Вырезать means to cut out, especially when you cut a shape out of some material.

So here вырезать is the natural verb, because the idea is not just cutting paper randomly, but cutting out star shapes from it.

You can think of вы- as suggesting that something is being taken out from the material.

They present the actions as completed results:

• cut the stars out
• stick them onto the wall

After хочет, Russian often uses perfective infinitives when someone wants to achieve a specific result once.

So this sentence is about a concrete craft project, not about the general process of cutting and gluing.

Here звёзды is the direct object of вырезать, so it is in the accusative plural.

The noun is:

• singular: звезда = star
• plural: звёзды = stars

Because звезда is inanimate, the accusative plural has the same form as the nominative plural. So звёзды works for both:

• Это звёзды = These are stars
• Вырезать звёзды = to cut out stars

Because the word is pronounced with a yo sound: звёзды.

Important points:

• ё is always stressed
• in many normal Russian texts, people often write е instead of ё
• but the pronunciation is still звёзды, not звезды with a plain e

For learners, writing ё is very helpful.

Because из means out of or from, and it requires the genitive case.

The noun changes like this:

• бумага = paper
• из бумаги = out of paper

So вырезать звёзды из бумаги means to cut stars out of paper.

Because их means them, while они means they.

Here the stars are the object of приклеить, so Russian uses the object form:

• они = they
• их = them

So:

• они красивые = they are beautiful
• приклеить их = to stick them

Because the preposition к means to, toward, and it requires the dative case.

The noun changes like this:

• стена = wall
• к стене = to the wall

With приклеить, this means attaching something to the wall.

With приклеить, к стене is the most natural choice because it emphasizes physical attachment to a surface.

• приклеить к стене = stick to the wall

You may see на стену with other verbs, especially when the idea is placing something onto the wall as a location, for example:

• повесить на стену = hang on the wall

So here к стене is the normal collocation.

Рядом с is a fixed expression meaning next to or beside.

It requires the instrumental case, so:

• окно = window
• с окном in this expression becomes рядом с окном = next to the window

The phrase tells you where on the wall the stars will be placed.

Because the expression рядом с always takes the instrumental.

So:

• окно = window
• окном = instrumental singular

This is not because the window is a tool; it is simply the case required by the expression рядом с.

Because вырезать and приклеить are two coordinated infinitives that both depend on хочет:

дочка хочет [вырезать ...] и [приклеить ...]

This is just like English:

She wants to cut out stars and stick them to the wall.

No comma is needed.

No, Russian word order is fairly flexible.

The given sentence is neutral and natural, but other orders are possible, for example:

Дочка хочет вырезать из бумаги звёзды и приклеить их к стене рядом с окном.

That still means the same thing, but the emphasis shifts slightly.

Russian uses word order more for focus and style than English does.

A helpful stressed version is:

До́чка хо́чет вы́резать звёзды из бума́ги и прикле́ить их к стене́ ря́дом с окно́м.

A rough pronunciation guide:

DOCH-ka HO-chet VY-re-zat ZVYOZ-dy iz boo-MA-gi ee pri-klye-EET' ikh k stye-NYE RYA-dam s ak-NOM

A few key stress points:

• до́чка
• хо́чет
• вы́резать
• звёзды
• бума́ги
