My Slavic Studies

Welcome back to another post on nominative case. This is part two. For part one, click on the Archives link and it should be there somewhere.

Please read that post before reading this one, as that one gives a good introduction to the nominative and includes some key elements that’ll serve you well going forward.

In part two, we’ll be identifying feminine nouns in Russian. Let’s get started.

Feminine nouns end in:

the letter а the letter я the soft sign ь

letter а	книга (book) вода (water) звезда (star) голова (head) музыка (music)
letter я	неделя (week) земля (Earth)
soft sign ь	помощь (help) вещь (thing)

That’s a wrap. I’ll see you in the next post, where neuter nouns will be the focus.
