Questions & Answers about Тісто замішується в мисці з борошном.
What part of speech is тісто and what case is it in here?
Тісто is a neuter singular noun in the nominative case, functioning as the subject of the sentence (“the dough”).
What grammatical form is замішується?
It’s the third-person singular present tense of the reflexive-impersonal verb замішуватися, meaning “is being kneaded.”
What role does the suffix -ся play in замішується?
The -ся makes the verb reflexive or mediopassive. Here it indicates that the dough undergoes the action (is being kneaded) without naming who does it.
Is замішується imperfective or perfective aspect? What’s its perfective partner?
Замішується is imperfective, focusing on the ongoing process. Its perfective counterpart is замі́ситися (e.g., тісто замісилося = “the dough got kneaded” or “the dough has been kneaded”).
Why is it в мисці, not у мисці or на мисці?
You use в (“in”) before a consonant; мисці begins with м, so в мисці. У мисці would appear before a vowel, and на мисці would mean “on the bowl,” not “in.”
What case is мисці and why?
Мисці is in the locative case (singular) because the preposition в indicating location (where something is) requires the locative.
Why is it з борошном and what case is борошном?
The preposition з with the instrumental case means “with,” so з борошном = “with flour.” Here борошном is the instrumental singular of борошно.
Could you use зі instead of з before борошном?
Normally зі appears before words starting with two or more consonants (or certain pronouns) to ease pronunciation. Борошном starts with a single consonant (б), so the correct form is з борошном.
What’s the difference between замішуватися and змішуватися?
Замішуватися (to knead) applies to dough (it literally “gets kneaded”), while змішуватися (to mix) refers to combining ingredients or substances. Dough is usually замішується, not simply змішується.
How would you say this in the active voice, specifying the doer?
You could say “Тісто замішують у мисці з борошном.” Here замішують is third-person plural present active, “they knead the dough in a bowl with flour.”
