Q

Does Russian use the verb “to be?”
How do we write a sentence that in English would be
Subject Linking-verb Predicate-Nominative?
(e.g. “Mary is an Englishwoman.”)

A

Not in most places where we would use it in English.

Subject “—“ Predicate-nominative

(e.g. «Мэри—англичанка.»)

Q

What are the genders in Russian?

A

Russian has three genders:
Masculine
Feminine
Neuter

31
Q

What are the [nominative singular] endings for most masculine nouns?

A
  1. Any consonant

2. -й

32
Q

What are the [nominative singular] endings for most feminine nouns?

A
  1. -а

2. -я

33
Q

What are the [nominative singular] endings for most neuter nouns?

A
  1. -o

2. -e

34
Q

What gender are nouns with a nominative singular ending of

-ь?

A

Most are feminine, but many are masculine. These must be learned on a case-by-case basis.

35
Q

Are all [nominative singular] nouns ending in -а or -я feminine.

A

No. Some words (especially names) referring to boys or men end in -а or -я and are masculine.

36
Q

What gender are words ending in -и, -у, or -ю?

A

Typically these words are neuter (one exception to this rule is names. Names always take the gender of the person they signify). They are almost all borrowed from foreign languages. They are indeclinable, as well.

37
Q

What about names and other words denoting female people which don’t end in -а, -я or -ь?

A

These words are typically borrowed from foreign languages. If the words are names or directly refer to girls/women, they are feminine. They are also indeclinable.
