Let`s make this thread alive again! In addition to dictionaries, I would advise using the unit converter as it is known that there are different meanings everywhere. Therefore, it is important to use such tools when learning the language as well.

Russian: Ложь и клевета! (Lozh' i kleveta!) Hebrew: שקרים ודיבה! (Shekarim ve'diba!)

hi i am looking for one too

The use of "the" before "dancers" in the sentence "These shoes belong to the dancers -> These are THE dancers' shoes" is to specify a particular group of dancers. When you use "the" in this context, you are referring to a specific set of dancers, not just any dancers in general. Without "the," the sentence would be more general: "These shoes belong to dancers," which could mean any group of dancers. By adding "the," you are indicating that these shoes specifically belong to a particular group of dancers, perhaps the ones currently being discussed or the ones that everyone knows about in the context of the conversation. So, "These are THE dancers' shoes" implies that you are talking about a specific group of dancers whose shoes you are referring to. The use of "the" helps to make the possessive more specific in this case.
