Questions & Answers about Он бреет бороду каждое утро.
What is the infinitive of бреет?
The infinitive is брить (to shave). It is an irregular verb because the vowel in the stem changes to -е- in the present tense, giving us forms like я брею, ты бреешь, and он бреет.
Why is there no word for 'his' before бороду?
In Russian, when you do an action to your own body (like shaving a beard, washing your hands, or brushing your teeth), possessive pronouns are usually left out. It is already clear whose beard he is shaving!
Why does борода change to бороду here?
It changes because the beard is the direct object of the sentence (the thing being shaved). Feminine nouns ending in -а change their ending to -у in the accusative case.
Why are the words каждое утро used in this specific form?
When you want to say how often something happens using the word 'every' (like 'every morning' or 'every week'), the phrase goes into the accusative case. Because утро (morning) is a neuter noun, its accusative form looks exactly the same as its dictionary form.
