Nouns: Prepositional Case

Russian 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:

Neuter Nouns:
