kittydesadeA fundamental use of the instrumental case is to express the instrument by which an action is carried out. In English this idea is often expressed through the word with.
У нас лечат такую болезнь антибиотиками. In our country a disease like that is treated with antibiotics.
Contrast the use of the instrumental case for instrument and the instrumental case used after the preposition c meaning with or together with.
Надя пишет сочинение ручкой. Nadya is writing her composition with a pen.
Надя пишет сочинение с Таней. Nadya is writing her composition with Tanya
Indicate whether each phrase in boldface would be rendered by the instrumental case with or without the preposition. (Seriously, no translating, just marking?)
Alex went to the movies with Pasha (prep). They saw a new Russian film with subtitles (... ngh. prep?). They have to write compositions about the film. Alex is going to write out his composition with a pen (no prep), and Pasha is going to type his on the computer.
2. Usually they treat this disease with penicillin (no prep), but I'm allergic to it, so they're treating me with other antibiotics (no prep). The doctor also wants me to take vitamins. My roommate went to the drugstore, and the medicine together with the vitamins (prep) cost more than I expected.
Кого чем лечат?
Образец: Маша -- новое лекарство -- Машу лечат новым лекарством.
1. Саша -- антибиотики -- Саша лечат антибиотиками.
2. Боря -- аспирин -- Боря лечат аспирином.
3. Лора -- витамины -- Лора лечат витаминами.
4. Димитрий Петрович -- пенициллин -- Димитрия Петровича лечат пенициллином.
5. Александра Ивановна -- эти таблетки - Александру Ивановну лечат этими таблеткими. I think. Bleh. *pokes things*
I keep forgetting how crazy things are during Guild Show weekend. Filing? Who has time for filing? Not me! But apparently I have time for sleep. All the sleep. I need to pay more attention to when I actually fall asleep and reset my alarm the moment I wake up instead of going back to bed, if I'm going to sleep in a bit. Bleh.
I'm 90% sure that when I got this Yarrrn shirt, it wasn't this big. Pretty sure. And yet, when I put it on today expecting a snug babydoll shirt, what I got was a fairly stretchy, soft and not loose but not very snug... minidress. If I pulled it all the way down. I know I've been exercising, but, yeesh. Although this does make me think that maybe I should get a few more babydoll shirts, or at least work on tailoring the shirts I have to a more curvy shape. Only, not this weekend. Or the next one. This weekend is Folkmoot, next weekend I need to do costume construction. Oi, busy busy.
On the other hand, the boy has to work tonight, so I think what's going to end up happening is I'm going to do the weekend's cooking tonight, stay up a little later than normal doing writing and stuff, sleep in tomorrow and then over the weekend all I'll have to do is cleaning and writing. Mmm, that sounds good.
