Questions & Answers about Мы отдыхаем дома или в парке.
Why does the verb отдыхаем end in -ем?
In Russian, verbs change their endings based on who is doing the action. Because the subject here is мы (we), the verb отдыхать (to rest) takes the standard "we" ending -ем.
Does отдыхаем usually mean "rest" or "relax"?
Why is "at home" just the word дома without a preposition like в (in)?
Дома is a special fixed word (an adverb) that specifically means "at home." If you used the preposition в and said в доме, it would mean you are emphasizing being physically "inside the building" rather than just chilling at home.
Why does парке have an -е at the end?
This is the Prepositional case, which Russian uses to show where something is happening. The basic dictionary word is парк. Because we are talking about a location with the word в (in), we add an -е to the end of the masculine noun, making it в парке.
