Questions & Answers about Почему ты так спешишь?
The translation says "in such a hurry", but I don't see a noun for "hurry". How does that work?
In Russian, спешишь is a verb meaning "you hurry" or "you are hurrying". The sentence literally translates to "Why are you hurrying so?" rather than using a noun and the verb "to be".
Why do we use так instead of a word for "such"?
What is the infinitive of спешишь and why is the ending spelled that way?
The infinitive is спешить (to hurry). For ты (you, informal), it takes the ending -ишь. This is a great time to remember an important spelling rule: after the letter ш, we always write и, never ы.
Can I drop the word ты (you) in this sentence?
Yes! Because the verb ending -ишь already tells us exactly who is doing the action, the pronoun is optional. You will often hear native speakers just say Почему так спешишь? in casual conversation.
