How to write correctly: vegetable or vegetable?

How to write correctly: "vegetable" or "vegetable"? This question is often asked not only by high school students, but also those people who have long graduated from it. To answer it, you only need to know the simplest rule of the Russian language. We will bring it to your attention a little further.

General information

“Vegetable” or “vegetable”: is the difference so fundamental? If you use this word during regular correspondence on social networks, then no matter how it is written, your virtual interlocutor will understand you anyway. However, there are situations when the expression must be used in an official letter or article that will be read by a huge number of people. In this case, only its correct application is required. Indeed, no one wants to be known as an illiterate person who does not even know how to spell the word “vegetable”.

"B" at the end of the word after hissing

The use of a soft sign in words after the nouns, adverbs and verbs hissing at the end does not affect their softness of sound. This is due to the fact that such letters are either always hard (for example, w or g), or always soft (for example, w or h). However, in the Russian language there are strict rules about when to write “b” after hissing words at the end, and when not. Indeed, in these cases, such a silent letter plays a grammatical role. Here are a few examples:

• It is necessary to write a soft sign in the word "quiet", as this indicates that it is a feminine noun.
• In the word "write" a soft sign indicates that it is a verb of the singular of the 2nd person.
• In the word “protect” the presence of a soft sign indicates that it is a verb in an indefinite form or infinitive.
• In the word “all the time” a soft sign indicates that this is an adverb.

But how to determine whether a given sign is needed in one expression or another, and how to spell it correctly: “vegetable” or “vegetable”? To answer these questions, consider the rules of the Russian language.

In what cases is "b" written after a sizzling consonant?

To understand how it is spelled - “vegetable” or “vegetable” - the following rules should be considered:

1. “B” after hissing consonants in nouns is written if they stand in the singular, feminine, nominative and have a third declension. For example, quiet, rye, thing, night, etc.
2. “B” after hissing consonants in verbs is written in absolutely all forms. By the way, this letter is saved even before -te and -sya. Here is an example: cut - cut, take care - take care, take care, etc.
3. “B” after hissing consonants in adverbs is written if they end with the letter “h” or “w” (for example, back, all the way), as well as in one word that has the letter “z” at the end (wide) .
   

When is "b" not spelled after consonant sizzling?

Quite often you can find such inscriptions where, after the sizzling consonants, there is, or, conversely, a soft sign that is not needed or is absolutely necessary. It should be noted that such incorrectly spelled words often cause a mocking smile in people. After all, the rule that talks about the spelling of nouns, adjectives, verbs and dialects ending in hissing consonants is studied in elementary grades, and not to know about it is simply embarrassing. But if the cause of such an error is banal forgetfulness, it is recommended to refresh your memory and repeat the following rules, which indicate in which cases "b" should not be written after hissing:

1. “B” after hissing consonants in nouns is not written if they are in the singular, masculine, nominative and have a second declension. Let's give an example: a rook, a garage, a reed, a raincoat, etc.
2. “B” after hissing consonants in nouns is not written if they are in the plural, feminine and neuter gender, as well as in the genitive case. Let's give an example: grove, cloud, schools, etc.
3. “B” after hissing consonants in nouns is not written in short adjectives. For example, hot, good, fresh, etc.
4. “B” after hissing consonants in nouns is not written in adverbs ending in beech “w”. It’s easy to remember: married, unbearable.

How to: "vegetable" or "vegetable"?
