#. where the prepositional ending is -у instead of -е

[kutyozh]

learning about the partitive and locative cases is like. you said Russian had 6 cases

#. i am both in shock and in awe #russian #russian langblr #langblr #. ok if any beginners read this: don't worry about it #. hfhfjdms no but really it's not that relevant if you're only starting to learn the language #. I'd recommend to treat words like аэропорт or лес as exceptions #. where the prepositional ending is -у instead of -е #. you can still check out partitive and locative later #. russian grammar is already overwhelming so don't stress about these 'details' #. basics should always be the priority!! #l #russian grammar #r.txt

prepositional case

- when talking about things being somewhere, we typically use в (in) or на (on) with the prepositional form of the noun. does not work when you mean motion to that place.

- only case that is never used on its own without a preposition, even though only a few prepositions ever use it:

Я на конце́рте. = I am at a concert. Я в шко́ле. = I am at (in) school. ви́део о шко́ле = a video about school

- unlike English  (at/in school), in Russian each place is associated with just one preposition. the general rule: в (in / at) when talking about buildings and places with certain boundaries, на (on / at) when talking about open spaces or events:

в до́ме (at home), в шко́ле (at school), в ко́мнате (in the room), в теа́тре (in the theater), в кино́ (at the cinema), в университе́те (at the university)

на ули́це (in the street, outdoors), на пло́щади (at the square), на конце́рте (at the concert), на уро́ке (at the lesson), на кора́бле (on a ship)

- when you mean being physically inside/on top of some object, there is little ambiguity.

prepositional endings

feminine nouns ending in ь take -и

nouns ending in -ия, -ий or -ие also take -и (so that they end in -ии instead)

all other nouns take -е

- Use “у + Genitive” when talking about being at some person’s place: Да, я у дру́га = Yeah, I am at my friend’s place.

▲▼WC

- a room with a toilet is called a туале́т. technically, a room with a bath is a ва́нная.

motion

- the pattern is consistent. when you are somewhere, going to that place, and going away from that place, use the following triplets:

At:  в + prep    ;;   на + prep   ;;    у + gen

To:   в + acc    ;;   на + acc   ;;   к + dative

Away:    из + gen    ;;   с + gen   ;;   от + gen

- for example, if the place is used with на, the correct prepositions for the three uses are на-на-с.
