Questions & Answers about После четвёртого раунда мы везём медали домой.
Why does четвёртого have the -ого ending here?
The preposition после (after) always forces the following words into the genitive case. Because раунд (round) is a masculine noun, the ordinal number четвёртый (fourth) declines exactly like a standard adjective, taking the masculine genitive ending -ого.
Is the -ого ending in четвёртого pronounced the way it is spelled?
No! It is a great reminder that since ordinal numbers decline just like regular adjectives, they follow the exact same pronunciation rules. The г in the -ого genitive ending is pronounced as a v, making it sound like chetvyortovo.
Why use везём for taking the medals? Could I use берём?
Берём means taking in the sense of physically grabbing or accepting something. Here, taking home implies transportation. Везём is a verb of motion meaning we are transporting by vehicle (like a bus or plane). If they were carrying the medals home on foot, they would use несём.
Why does the sentence use домой instead of дома for home?
Дома means you are already located at home. Because везём is an active verb of motion showing movement toward a destination, you must use the directional adverb домой, which means homeward or to home.
