У (location)
The Russians also use the preposition у to mean “at” in the sense of “at someone's home/place.” In this sense it is similar to chez in French.
| — Где ты был? — У Тани. |
“Where were you?” “At Tanya's place.” |
| Завтра мы будем ужинать у Ивановых. | Tomorrow we are having dinner at the Ivanovs. |
| Давай заниматься завтра вечером у тебя. | Let's study at your place tomorrow evening. |
Actually the meaning of у is a bit broader. It can also mean a person's office or workplace:
| — Где ты была? — У декана. |
“Where were you?” “At the dean's office.” |
| Мы провели всё утро у врача. | We spent the entire morning at the doctor's office. |
