Introducing Family

Review Summary

  • Noun (Nom) + Noun (Genitive ending -а/-я for masc, -ы/-и for fem)

常见错误

You forgot to change the noun to the Genitive case. For feminine nouns ending in -а, change it to -ы.

Wrong: Это книга мама.
正确: Это книга мамы.

Both the pronoun and the noun need to be in the Genitive case here.

Wrong: Это брат мой друг.
正确: Это брат моего друга.

Even though 'папа' ends in -а, it is a masculine noun, so it takes the -ы ending in Genitive.

Wrong: Где машина папа?
正确: Где машина папы?

Next Steps

Fantastic work! You are now able to talk about the people who matter most. Keep practicing these endings!

Write a short family tree description.

常见问题 (2)

In Russian, the word нет logically implies the absence of something, which requires the Genitive case. It shows that the quantity of that thing is zero.
Yes, adjectives must agree with the noun. For example, нового телефона (of the new phone) uses the masculine genitive adjective ending.
