| Ћн увќдел слёзы на реснќцах ребёнка. | He noticed tears on the child's lashes. |
| Её и без тогћ тёмные реснќцы бІли сќльно накрђшены. | Her naturally dark eyelashes were heavily made up. |
NB When the word реснќцы functions as a subject and does not have a descriptive modifier (like тёмные, above), the construction реснќцы у + Genitive is often preferred to (a) and (b), above: | |
| Реснќцы у неё бІли сќльно накрђшены. | Her eyelashes were heavily made up. |
NB Unlike many other body parts that come in pairs, the word реснќца cannot be modified by лљвый and прђвый. Nor can one use the phrases реснќцы лљвого/прђвого глђза or реснќцы вљрхних/нќжних вљк. These phrases are used instead: |
| вљрхние/нќжние реснќцы | upper/lower lashes |
| реснќцы на лљвом/прђвом глазџ | the lashes on the left/right eye |
| реснќцы на вљрхних/нќжних вљках | the lashes on the upper/lower lids |
| вљрхние реснќцы на лљвом глазџ | the upper lashes on the left eye |
| Реснќцы на нќжних вљках рљже, чљм на вљрхних. | The lashes on the lower lids are sparser than on the upper ones. |
