Questions & Answers about Куда вы обычно ездите в выходные? На дачу.
Why use ездите here instead of ходите or едете?
ездите is a form of ездить, which means to go by transport. We use it instead of ходить (to go on foot) because a dacha is usually far outside the city. We use it instead of ехать (to be going in one direction right now) because the word обычно (usually) shows this is a repeating, round-trip habit.
Why does the sentence start with Куда instead of Где?
Both translate to "where" in English, but Russian uses Куда to ask "Where to?" when there is motion toward a destination. You use Где when asking "Where at?" for a fixed location. Since you are asking where someone travels to, Куда is required.
Why is it На дачу? Why use На instead of В, and why the -у ending?
Russian traditionally uses на with certain locations that were historically open spaces, and дача is one of them. Because the dacha is the destination of your movement, the noun must be in the Accusative case, which changes the feminine -а ending to -у.
How does в выходные mean "on the weekend"?
