ロシア語の格変化:名詞の役割を決める秘密のコード

Russian cases turn nouns into 'smart words' that tell you exactly what they are doing in a sentence.

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Russian words change their endings based on their job in the sentence, which we call 'cases'.

  • Nominative: The subject of the sentence (e.g., 'Кот спит' - The cat sleeps).
  • Accusative: The direct object receiving action (e.g., 'Я вижу кота' - I see the cat).
  • Prepositional: Used for location with 'в' or 'на' (e.g., 'в доме' - in the house).
Noun (Base) + Ending = Role in 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!
⚠️

Prepositions aren't enough

In English, 'in' does all the work. In Russian, 'в' is just a signal. You MUST change the word ending too, or it sounds like 'I am in Moscow-city-default-form'.
💬

Don't fear mistakes

Russians are very used to foreigners mixing up cases. As long as you get the root of the word right, they'll know if you're ordering a beer or asking for the bathroom.

Smart Tips

Check if it's the subject.

Кот ест. Кот ест.

発音

Vowel Reduction

Unstressed 'o' sounds like 'a'.

Statement
