TRANSITIVE VERBS IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE
Abstract
Understanding the grammatical category of transitive verbs is essential for mastering the Russian language. Transitive verbs, which take a direct object, are central to sentence structure and case assignment. This paper examines the definition, grammatical features, syntactic behavior, and pedagogical implications of transitive verbs in Russian. Comparative aspects with English and practical teaching strategies are also discussed. The topic is relevant for linguists, educators, and students learning Russian as a foreign language, as it sheds light on verb valency, case governance, and communicative patterns that form the backbone of syntactic accuracy.
