Russian Grammar
Nouns: Prepositional Case

Prepositional Case (In, At and About)
In Russian, the prepositional case is used after the prepositions “о” (about), “в” (in), “на” (at).

Note: Sometimes these prepositions are used with other cases, this gives them a different meaning.

Forming the Prepositional Case

Masculine Nouns:
1. Add : “е”.
2: Some nouns (mostly single syllable) take “у” (but not after preposition “о”)

Feminine Nouns:
1. Replace “а” with “е”.
2. Replace “я” with “е”.
3. Replace “ь” with “и”.

Neuter Nouns:
1. Replace “о” with “е”
2. “е” remains unchanged.
