де

This is the 11262nd most frequent Russian word.


де

The word "де" in Russian is an archaic or dialectal term meaning "where" or "supposedly."


Here, 'де' is used to introduce a relative clause, specifying 'the place where' something happened.

Он говорил что-то про место, де произошел инцидент.

He was talking about the place where the incident occurred.


In this sentence, 'де' is again functioning as a question word for 'where'.

Де я сейчас нахожусь?

Where am I now?


The word 'де' here is used as a question word equivalent to 'where' in English.

Де вы были вчера?

Where were you yesterday?
