Check yourself - how well do you know Russian?

Can you understand what do these phrases mean?

"- Есть пить? - Пить есть, есть нет."

a) - Do you want eat or drink? - I want something to drink, and I have nothing to eat.

b) - Do you have anything to eat? - I have something to eat, and nothing to drink

c) - Do you have anything to drink? - I have something to drink and nothing to eat

Correct answer:

c) - Do you have anything to drink? - I have something to drink and nothing to eat Here you can see two different meanings of the one word - "есть" - to have and "есть" - to eat (infinitive verb form).

So in the first sentence: - Есть пить? (Do you have?) (to drink?)

And in the second sentence: - Пить есть, есть нет. (to drink) ( I have), (to eat) (No)
