How to write: make or create? You will learn the answer to this question from the article.
General information about consoles in Russian
The spelling of various prefixes in the Russian language causes many difficulties for students and those who have long graduated from a comprehensive school. This is partly due to the fact that they are heard and written in completely different ways. To make or create - how will it be right? This is the question most often asked by those people who urgently need to write a competent letter.
What are the unchangeable Russian consoles?
Before you understand how to spell: make or create, you should find out what prefixes in general exist in Russian.
So, when word formation the following prefixes are used: for-, in- or (you-), over-, to-, from-, to-, about- ,-, over-, y-, sub- and s-. It should be especially noted that regardless of how they are pronounced and how they are heard, they are always written as presented in this article.
What foreign language consoles are there?
The Russian language is so diverse that it is very difficult to remember all its rules, and even more so to put them into practice. That is why when creating any letter or text, people very often have the question of how to write: to make or create. To answer it, you only need to study the corresponding rule. But before voicing it, I want to talk about the fact that, in addition to the above unchanged prefixes, foreign languages are quite popular in Russian. As you know, they are used only in those words that were formed from foreign ones. Such prefixes include the following: de-, in-, anti-, dis-, archi-, des-, sub-, counter-, ex-, re-.
To make or create: how to write?
To understand how to write such a word, you need to understand how it was formed.
So, “to do” is a verb of a perfect form of the 1st conjugation. This word was formed from the verb "do" by adding the prefix c-. Or s-? To answer this question, you must refer to the following rule: in Russian there is no prefix s-, but there is only the prefix s-.
In order to verify this, we recommend returning to the fourth paragraph of this article, where all the unchanged prefixes were listed . As you can see, only s- is present there.
Are there any exceptions to the rules or not?
Now you know how to write: create or make. However, there will always be those who disagree that object loudly that there are very similar words in the Russian language, and they are written exclusively with the letter “z”. And indeed, such expressions are available. These include “here”, “cool”, “building”, etc. However, it will be a big mistake to call them rare exceptions to the rules. Then how to explain their spelling? The fact is that “h” in all of the above words is part of the root, and not a prefix.
Thus, it should be remembered that, choosing between the words “make” or “make”, you must give your preference to the first option. After all, it is he who is faithful.
Other words with the prefix c-
In addition to the fact that people are often confused in writing the words “do” or “do it”, they often experience great difficulties when using expressions such as “knock down”, “burn”, “drive”, etc. Using them in the creation letters or any text, you should also recall the rule that states that in Russian the prefix s- does not exist. In this regard, in all the listed verbs, it is necessary to write only the letter “c”.
Why is there such confusion?
In some cases, even a literate person sometimes confuses and writes the word “make” with the initial letter “z”. Why is this happening? The fact is that in the Russian language there is another rule that applies to prefixes ending in "z" and "s" (asc- / rev-, without- / dem-, lower- / nis-, is- / is- , vz- / vs-, raz- / ras-, etc.). However, their spelling is completely different from the spelling of the word "make."
So:
- The letter “z” is written at the end of the prefix if there is a voiced consonant after it (l, b, d, c, f, d, n, s, p, m). Let us give an example: to overthrow, to run away, to take off, to expel, appeal, to distribute, excessive, outlive, occasionally, pampered.
- The letter “c” is written at the end of the prefix if there is a deaf consonant after it (s, k, t, n, c, f, h, w, x, u). Here is an example: to subvert, squint, shapeless, rebellion, colorless, dishevele, split, spineless, too, silently.
Note:
- Many people doubt the correct spelling of such consoles due to ignorance of voiced and deaf consonants. Therefore, it is recommended to remember that the letters “c”, “u” and “h” are deaf. To test yourself, you need to loudly pronounce the consonant in which you doubt.
- The spelling of the prefixes diz- and dis- does not depend on the sonority or deafness of the subsequent consonant. This is due to the fact that they are foreign-language consoles. To use them correctly when writing words, it should be remembered that the spelling is written if the root begins with a vowel (for example, disjunction). As for dis-, such a prefix must be used when the root begins with a consonant (for example, disharmony, discomfort, dyskinesia, disco, dissociation, dissertation, etc.).
If we consider the word “make” using the above rule of the Russian language, it would be more accurate to put the letter “z” instead of the letter “c”. However, this is not worth doing, because such an expression does not obey him. After all, it includes only those prefixes that consist of several letters (asc- / vos-, without- / dem-, niz- / nis-, iz- / is-, vz- / vs-, raz- / ras- etc.).
Is the word spelled out or separately?
Surprisingly, some people are interested not only in the question of how to write the expression “make”: with the letter “c” or “z”, but also about whether it is spelled together or not.
As mentioned above, the word "make" is formed from the verb "do" using the prefix c-. And according to the rules of the Russian language, prefixes are written with words only together.
To summarize
As you can see, there is nothing difficult in figuring out how to spell the word "do" correctly. For this, it is only necessary to study the simplest rule of the Russian language and correctly apply it in practice.
