Russian Accusative Case
The Russian Accusative case changes form based on the noun’s animacy. For inanimate objects, it answers “Что?” (What?) and matches the Nominative case. For animate objects, it answers “Кого?” (Who(m)?) and resembles the Genitive case, depending on gender.
Russian Genitive Case
One of the most challenging and confusing Russian cases is the Genitive case. The Russian Genitive case primarily indicates possession. However, its use extends beyond clear ownership and appears in situations where the connection to possession isn’t always obvious.
Russian Prepositional Case
The Russian Prepositional case is one of the easiest, especially compared to the Genitive and Accusative cases. It’s used only with prepositions, and its endings are limited, making it simple to form. However, knowing when to use it isn’t always straightforward.
Russian Instrumental Case
The Russian Instrumental case indicates the means by which an action is performed, whether it’s a person, object, or thing. In Russian it’s called “твори́тельный паде́ж” from the verb “твори́ть” (to create). It also appears in various less obvious situations.
Russian Dative Case
The Russian Dative case mainly shows the connection between a giver and a recipient, whether physical, emotional, or otherwise. In Russian it is called “да́тельный паде́ж” from the verb “дать” (to give – a perfective form). It’s also used in many less obvious situations, so learning all its functions is important.
