The Hedgehog and the Hare (Review)
Вожык і заяц — reading the folk tale
Notice the locative form "сусе́дзе" (neighbor — vocative-like usage), the past tense "вы́йшаў" (went out) and "чу́лі" (heard), and the verb of motion "шкандыбае" (hobbles).
На праходку вы́йшаў вожык, ногі разьмінае, а насустрач па дарожцы шкандыбае за́яц.
Who went out for a walk?
Where did the hare appear?
"Мне ліса не страшна" uses the dative (мне). "Ўцёк ад ваўка" uses the genitive after ад (from). "Не хвалісь" is an imperative form.
