How do you say daughter of in Russian?

The most common and literal way to say "daughter of" in Russian is дочь (doch') followed by the genitive case of the father's name.

For example:

* Дочь Ивана (Doch' Ivana) - Daughter of Ivan

* Дочь Анны (Doch' Anny) - Daughter of Anna

* Дочь Сергея (Doch' Sergeya) - Daughter of Sergey

Note: The genitive case of a noun usually ends in -а (-ya) for masculine nouns and -ы (-i) for feminine nouns.

There are also other, less common, ways to express "daughter of" depending on the context. For instance:

* Иван - её отец (Ivan - eyo otets) - Ivan is her father

* Она - дочь Ивана (Ona - doch' Ivana) - She is the daughter of Ivan

You can also use the phrase родилась у (rodilas' u) which literally means "was born to."

* Она родилась у Ивана (Ona rodilas' u Ivana) - She was born to Ivan

Choose the phrase that best suits your context and sounds natural in Russian.
