The accusative case in Russian is one of the six grammatical cases used to indicate the role of a noun or pronoun in a sentence, particularly the direct object of a verb. It's used to show the noun that is receiving the action of the verb. In English, this is often the noun that follows the verb and answers the question "what?" or "whom?"

Russian adjectives describe nouns by expressing qualities such as size, color, shape, or characteristics. They agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they modify:)

Russian Prepositional case has another function! It doesn't only answer the question "Где?". It also answers the question "What about" – "О чём?" (or "О ком?" if it's a person.)

Russian plurals are super simple! Just add Ы if a word ends with a consonant, or replace the ending A with Ы:

кот – коты
телефон – телефоны
мама – мамы
машина – машины

Keep in mind the 7-letter spelling rule of Russian: don't write Ы after КГХШЩЧЖ:

книга – книги
Америка – Америки

Russian verbs are divided into 2 conjugations. We have already practiced the so-called E-conjugation (I conjugation or First conjugation) where the endings included letter E: он работаЕт, ты отдыхаЕшь, вы читаЕте and so on.

For example, ГОВОРИТЬ (to speak):

я говорю
ты говоришь
он говорит
она говорит

вы говорите
они говорят

In today's episode, we practice the Prepositional case!

It answers the question 'Где?' and is pretty straightforward to form. 

Add -E- to the consonants in masculine nouns. And replace the endings with -E- in feminine ones. The ending ИЯ/ИЕ becomes ИИ. And we don't change geographical names that end on О, Е, У, И (Колорадо, Чили, Конго).
