Consejos y trucos (2)

🎯

The 'Vy' of Respect

In very formal writing (like a contract), you might see 'Вы' capitalized as 'Вы'. In daily texts, keep it lowercase unless it's starting a sentence.

🎯

The 'Pizza' Rule

If you're stuck on feminine endings, remember 'Пицца' becomes 'Пиццу'. This -а to -у shift is the most common one you'll use daily!

Review Summary

  • Pronoun + Verb
  • Root + Ending

Errores comunes

In Russian, the verb 'to be' is often omitted in the present tense.

Wrong: Я есть Иван.
Correcto: Я Иван.

Pronouns must match the gender of the noun they describe.

Wrong: Он — моя подруга.
Correcto: Она — моя подруга.

You used the object case incorrectly. Keep it simple for now!

Wrong: Меня зовут Я.
Correcto: Меня зовут Иван.

Preguntas frecuentes (4)

No, 'я' is only capitalized if it's the first word of a sentence. Otherwise, keep it lowercase.
Use 'Оно' for neuter nouns that usually end in -о or -е, like 'окно' (window) or 'море' (sea).
It allows for flexible word order! Because the endings show the role of each word, you can move them around for emphasis without losing the meaning.
Yes! Start with Nominative (dictionary form), then Accusative (objects) and Prepositional (locations). These three are the 'survival kit' for A1.
