я

"I" (first-person singular pronoun).

'Я' is the first-person singular pronoun in Russian, equivalent to 'I' in English, representing the speaker as the subject of the sentence.

Я люблю читать книги.

I love reading books.

Here, 'Я' again represents the speaker as the first-person singular subject, used with the past tense verb 'был' (was).

Я был в магазине вчера.

I was at the store yesterday.

'Я' is used to denote the subject expressing desire or intent in this context, paired with the verb 'хочу' (want).

Я хочу научиться готовить.

I want to learn to cook.
