Q

Translate into Russian:

I know Maria and Danil.

A

Я знаю Марию и Данила.

Remember! Excluding some small exceptions, all nouns in Russian decline, including the names of people. Russian names are not as varied as names in English, where someone could have a name as exotic as Sprinkler. Russian society is still very conserative in this regard. All typical Russian names can easily be declined. Russian female nouns typically end in -а or -я, and male names in a consonant.
