Why "theater", Yasir? It's actually "cinema" (BrE) or "movies" (AmE).
мой брат был вчера в кино
My brother went to a movie/cinema yesterday.
Credits to Olga for pointing out the theater/movie thing.
Why "theater", Yasir? It's actually "cinema" (BrE) or "movies" (AmE).
Olga, "A movie theater or movie theatre (also called a cinema) is a building that contains an auditorium for viewing films (also called movies or cinemas), for entertainment."
С другой стороны, movies, наверное, больше подошло бы, вместо, movie theatre
Yasir, the discussion on wordreference is about the word "select" used with "theaters", not about "theaters".
In everyday speech if you tell someone "I went to the theater yesterday" they'd most likely think you went to an actual theater, not to a cinema/movie theater.
Я согласен, Ольга.
