"Term case, like the names of most cases, is a calque from Greek and Latin (ancient Greek. πτῶσις
- fall, lat. case from cadere- fall). Highlight straight case (nominative and sometimes accusative) and indirect cases (others). This terminology is associated with the ancient idea of “declination” (declinatio) as “deviations”, “falling away” from the correct, “direct” form of a word..."

Declension of nouns is a change in nouns by case.
1st declension- all feminine and masculine words ending in “-a” or “-ya” (mom, dad, wall, story, aunt, uncle):
- Nouns of the first declension singular in the dative and prepositional cases have the ending “-e”, for example: to mom, about aunt. But if the noun ends in “-iya”, then in the same cases the ending “-i” is written, for example: to history, about the party. When writing name endings own with “-iya” it is necessary to adhere to the same rule, for example: about France, to Mary.
2nd declension- all other masculine words and neuter words (varnish, gel, bug, horse, field, window):
In the second declension, the form of the accusative case in most cases coincides with the form of the nominative (window, field) or genitive (bug, horse).
- Nouns have units. numbers of the second declension, masculine or neuter, in the prepositional case the ending “-e” is written, for example: about the field, about the window. But if the noun ends in “-i” or “-i”, then the ending “-i” is written in the same case, for example: about sympathy, about knowledge, about difference.
3rd declension- all other words are feminine (night, fabric):
In the third declension, in most cases the forms of the genitive, dative and prepositional cases of the singular coincide.
- After sibilant nouns of the feminine gender of the third declension, “b” is written at the end, for example: mouse, night. And for masculine nouns of the second declension, “b” is not written, for example: knife, hut.
Here’s something else I accidentally came across in forums about cases in the Russian language:
Wolliger Mensch:
... (for languages with a nominative system):
Nominative - subject case
genitive - case of nominal definition
dative - case of indirect object, addressee
accusative - direct object case
instrumental - case of the instrument of action, the actor in a passive construction
predicative - case of the nominal predicate
These are the main syntactic cases. There are many more semantic cases...
Oh, this declension... When studying a noun, it is this topic that makes you really rack your brain in order to remember all the unstressed endings in all kinds of cases and numbers. How to determine the declension of nouns? The table and examples will make the task easier! Let's try to figure it out and become a little more competent!
What is declination?
Declension of a noun (a table of examples is given in the text) is a change in the case of a word and its number. Let's look at the examples in the table.
The table of declension of nouns by case shows that all nouns are divided into groups depending on what endings they acquire in the form of one case or another. Accordingly, all words related to the same phrase will have the same set of endings. Knowing how to determine the declension, you can avoid mistakes in writing the endings of nouns in a weak position, in other words, not under stress.
How many declensions can a noun have?
The table of declension of nouns by case, given in the previous section, showed that any words of the same declension in the form of the same case will have the same endings. It presents the three most common types of declension of our language. But, as you know, he is very rich, and there are no simple rules in him. In addition to the three presented, there are other types of declinations.
So, what types of declinations are there? The most common are the first, second and third declension.
A separate group consists of words that end in -ies: intent, crime, agreement, etc.
The next group are words ending with -and I: mania, Natalia, waist, session, commission, etc.
There is a small group of words ending in -me, which are also inflected in a certain way: time, tribe, etc. Such words are called differently inflected nouns (a separate paragraph of the article will be devoted to them). Words such as path and child are also considered indeclinable.
And finally, there are also words that cannot change either by case or number, and “look” the same in all forms. These are indeclinable, or unchangeable, nouns: kangaroo, kiwi and others.
Why do you need to be able to determine declination?
The table will tell us how to determine the declension of a noun a little later. But very often the question arises: why do this? Why remember all these cases, endings, many “special” words that need to be remembered? But for what? Let's take the word "path" as an example: I'm walking along the path, or I'm walking along the path? What should I do? Which letter should I choose? And here's another word: "winter". It is also feminine with the ending -a-. We put in the same case: (to whom? to what?) - WINTER. But we already know that all words of the same declension acquire the same ending when changed. So you need to write like this: I'm walking along(to whom; to what) pathE. The issue is resolved!
How to determine the declension of a noun? The table and examples in the following paragraphs will help you not to make mistakes in this rather simple question!
Nouns of 1st declension
These are feminine and masculine words that have endings in the initial form -A or -I(remember that the initial form for a noun is nominative and singular).
There are a lot of feminine words with such endings in the Russian language: mom, Masha, pajamas, apartment, work, daughter and many, many others. There are fewer masculine words, but they exist and are very common: dad, grandfather, Vasya, Petya and other male names.
The table of nouns of the 1st declension will compare words with stressed and unstressed endings to show that all words of a given declension will have similar case endings.
Nouns 2nd declension
These are masculine words that have (it is not expressed by a letter in the nominative case, but “appears” in other forms) and neuter gender with the endings -o, -e: raft, horse, lake, sea, field, etc. The table of nouns of the 2nd declension will show which endings the words acquire when changing by case.
As you can see, in the accusative case they have different endings. And only prepositional case forms with an unstressed ending can cause difficulties, so you should remember that in this form you need to write - e.
Nouns of the 3rd declension
These are feminine words with a zero ending. They all end in a soft sign: mouse, brooch, region, passion, and so on. Let's see what endings these words take in different forms.
It is very easy to remember: in the forms of the genitive, dative and prepositional cases, such words acquire the ending - And.
Nouns starting with -и, -я
The word “aspiration” is neuter, but it cannot be attributed to the 2nd declension; the word "mantle" is feminine, but does not change like words of the 1st declension. The table of declension of nouns by case will show the difference in endings.
As can be seen from the table, the words in -ies differ from words of the 2nd declension only in the prepositional case, and words in -and I from words of the 1st declension - in the dative and prepositional.
Remember that words ending in -ya, in all forms behave like words of the 1st declension. Therefore, for example, the forms of the same name Natalia and Natalia will be inclined differently: (give) Natalia, Natalia, (talk) about Natalia, about Natalia.
Table of declension endings for nouns
Let us summarize what has been said with a table of case endings of words belonging to different declensions.
| Case | -1 cl- | -2 cl- | -3 cl- | -ies | -and I |
| I.p. | paw, bullet | __ -o, -e house, dish | |||
| R.p. | paws, bullets | home, dishes | |||
| D.p. | paw, bullet | home, dish | |||
| V.p. | paw, bullet | __ -o/-e house, dish | |||
| etc. | -oh/-ey paw, bullet | -om/-em home, dish | greatness | ||
| P.p. | about the paw, about the bullet | about the house, about the dish | about greatness |
Let's hope that no one will have any difficulty choosing the desired ending and determining the declension of nouns in the Russian language. The table explained everything in great detail.
It should be noted that -ies And -and I cannot be isolated as a separate morpheme, ending. In this case, these are simply the letters with which the word ends. such words are the topic of another article.
Declension of plural nouns (the table here is, in general, unnecessary) very rarely causes difficulties, since the letters are mostly clearly audible. In the dative, instrumental and prepositional cases in the plural, all three declensions will have the same endings. We suggest that you decline any words in the plural yourself and make sure of this.
Indeclinable nouns
There are few indeclinable words among the nouns of the Russian language. Why are they divergent? Because they cannot be attributed to any one declension; in different cases they “behave” differently. These are words ending with -me(there are about ten of them), the words “path” and “child”. Let's look at the features of the declension of nouns in the Russian language (table) - those words that are considered differently indeclinable.
| I.p. | stirrup | path | child |
| R.p. | strem-en-i | put-i | dit-yat-i |
| D.p. | strem-en-i | put-i | dit-yat-i |
| V.p. | stirrup | path | child |
| etc. | rush-en-em | put-em | dit-yat-ey |
| P.p. | o strem-en-i | about the way | oh dit-yat-i |
As you can see, the word “child” is inclined in a very special way. The word "path" in the genitive, dative and prepositional cases "behaves" like a word of the 3rd declension, and in the instrumental - like a word of the 2nd declension. Well, words ending with -me, in indirect cases they acquire the suffix -en-.
You need to remember these words so as not to make a mistake in choosing the right ending.
Unbending words
These are mostly borrowed words - coming from other languages. They can indicate the names of animals, plants, dishes, as well as first or last names of people, names of objects. Having entered our language, such words retained the peculiarity of not changing their form when entering a sentence. No matter what case or number such a word should be placed in, it will sound the same.
- Pour me some coffee - I admire morning coffee - we're talking about coffee.
- This is my cockatoo - I don’t have a cockatoo - give food to the cockatoo - remember the cockatoo.
- Dumas's novel - dedicated to Dumas - writes about Dumas.
It is incorrect and ignorant to inflect such words in a sentence. Everyone knows the joke phrase “I’m sitting in the first row of a movie theater with a popiroska in my tooth.” Let's not be like the hero of this joke! Declinable words must be used correctly, but indeclinable words do not need to be changed at all.
Let's sum it up
Determining the declension of nouns (table above) is not a complicated process at all, which will help you avoid mistakes when writing. Let's try to summarize all of the above.
There are three main declensions in the Russian language, but there are also special words ending in -and I And - Yep, and a few different words. Words are divided into three main groups depending on gender and ending in the nominative case.
All words of the same declension have similar endings. They can be learned so as not to make mistakes. Or you can do it differently: instead of a word with an unstressed ending, substitute any word of the same declension, but in which the stress falls on the ending. The letter at the end of these words will be the same!
Words on -and I And -ies are not included in the three main groups, because they change according to cases and numbers in a special way, and they need to be remembered.
You should also remember a small group of differently inflected words. Their set of endings does not coincide with any of the above declensions, which is why they require special attention.
And finally, inflexible words: they do not change, no matter in what context they are used. Decline words such as in a sentence cinema, coat, coffee, purse, kangaroo,- a sign of low literacy and general culture.
We hope that the article was useful and helped to understand such a difficult topic as noun declension. The table and examples were clear, and therefore choosing the correct ending will now not be difficult.
Be literate!

How to find the case of nouns (and other nominal parts of speech)?
To find the case of a noun, you need to ask it a question from the word to which the noun refers: Think(about whom?) about mom, No(what?) rain .
Notes:
Each case corresponds to two questions (1st - for animate nouns, 2nd - for inanimate).
How to find the declension of nouns?
All nouns can be divided into seven groups, which will have uniform endings (forms) when declined by case and number, i.e. There are seven types of noun declension:
1st declension
Feminine, masculine and common nouns with endings -а, -я
spring A, earth I, lines I, uncle I, lord A, dirty I
2nd declension
Masculine nouns ending in zero
house ABOUT, edge ABOUT, ball ABOUT, planetarium ABOUT
All nouns ending in -o, -e
windows O, floor e, suspect e - s.r.; wolves e, journeymane - m.r.
3rd declension
Feminine nouns ending in zero
Mother ABOUT, daughter ABOUT, night ABOUT, steppe ABOUT
Divergent nouns(have endings of different declensions)
10 neuter nouns ending in -мя (ending -я);
nouns way, child
time, burden, stirrup, tribe, flame (flame- outdated ), banner, crown, seed, name, udder; way, child
Nouns inflected byadjectival type(so-called substantivized nouns)
Nouns formed from adjectives and participles by moving from one part of speech to another
private, comma, animal,duty officer, canteen, ice cream
A littlenouns, leaning towardspronominal type
Nouns formed from pronouns by moving from one part of speech to another or inflected like pronouns
draw,cable(unit of measurement)
Immutablenouns
Nouns that do not have endings (their case and number are determined by context)
drive(in what?) V Taxi (pp. units), parked(What?) Taxi (I.p. plural); coat, coffee, radio, cinema
Notes:
Noun Human has different roots in singular and plural ( person people), therefore it has different types of declension in singular and plural:
Human(singular) -
declined as a 2nd declension noun;
People(plural) -
declined as a 3rd declension noun.

Case is a variable characteristic of a word that is inherent only to nouns, adjectives, numerals or pronouns. Considering the above, we can determine the meaning of the term “case”.
Case- this is a characteristic denoting the type in which the noun is found, denoting its relationship with another object or person, defining its action, state or attribute.
A more complex concept of case sounds like this:
Case- a changing characteristic of the grammar of the Russian language, which corresponds to a noun, pronoun, numeral or adjective, as well as their hybrids, determining their meaning in a sentence regarding semantic or syntactic position.
Cases help connect parts of speech with each other, giving a sentence or phrase a certain thought. Visually, it is expressed using text through transformation of the form of the word. For clarity, you can compare:
- month, barns, yellow, face, sun, clear;
The moon hides its yellow face behind the barns from the blazing sun.
In the first case, a set of words is used that are not connected in any way and therefore represent a meaningless enumeration. In the second, the parts of speech are changed, the idea is presented clearly and clearly, this is facilitated by cases.
There are 6 cases in total, which are characterized by a specific ending. A particular case can be determined by asking the appropriate question, or recognized by the presence of certain prepositions. The table presented shows all existing cases, defining their questions and corresponding prepositions, if any.
Case table
Cases in Russian (table with questions and endings)
Before we examine each case separately using specific words as examples, let us once again recall the terminology of this word and relate it to the noun.
Case is a form of a noun that modifies it and reveals its relationship to another object, person, action or event, creating a semantic connection in a sentence or phrase.
Noun cases. Case prepositions
Nominative
Nominative is the basic or initial form of the name of an object. Used to denote an object, in the nominative case the word will always express the answer to the question Who? or What?
- Who? mom-a, hare_, doctor_;
- What? pen, sun, pond, quiet.
Prepositions are not used when using words in the nominative case. It belongs to the direct case category (the rest are called indirect). In a sentence, a noun in the nominative case is the subject or part of the predicate.
- I really liked this book. (« book" in the nominative case, is the subject)
- A dog is man's best friend. (« Friend" - part of the predicate)
Genitive
Denotes the attraction or belonging of an object to another object or person, answers questions whom? what?
- (no) who? mothers, hare, doctor;
- (no) what? handles, suns, ponds, quiet.
This case belongs to the category of indirect and can be used with or without prepositions. Example:
- (missing what?) handles - the (what?) handle broke off.
To more accurately connect the meaning of a noun with another word, prepositions are used. If the noun is in the genitive case, then prepositions will correspond to it without, from, around, with, around, at, after, from, for, to.
- walk without a hat;
- learn from a book;
- walk around the building;
- ask a passerby;
- move away from the entrance;
- reach your shoulder.
Dative
Used in combination with verbs that denote an action in relation to a given subject; questions correspond to it: to whom? or what?
- I give (to whom?) mom-e, hare-y, doctor-y;
- I give (to what?) handle-e, sun-y, pond-y, quiet-y.
This case (which is also indirect) corresponds to the prepositions to (to), by, according to, contrary to, following, like.
- Run up to your sister;
- act according to conviction;
- go towards the train;
- do against advice.
Accusative
A noun in the accusative case indicates the object of the action, is used in combination with a verb, and questions correspond to it: whom? or What?
- I blame (who?) mom-a, hare-a, doctor-a;
- I blame (what?) handle, sun, pond, quiet.
Prepositions used with a noun in the accusative case: with (with), through, in (in), about (about), on, through, under, about, through, by, for.
- Carry through the years;
- talk to yourself;
- peep through glass;
- dance to music;
- avenged his father.
Some of these prepositions ( on, under, behind, in) clarify the direction of the action being performed:
- hid (what?) in a box;
- put (for what?) on the box;
- put (for what?) per box;
- adjusted (under what?) under the box.
Instrumental case
A noun in the instrumental case denotes an object that produces an effect on another object; it is determined by the questions: by whom? or how?
- Satisfied (with whom?) mom-oh, hare-eat, doctor-oh;
- happy with (what?) hand-oh, sun-oh, pond-oh, quiet-oh.
Prepositions used with a noun in the instrumental case: for, with (co), between, under, above, in front of, together with, in connection with, according to s.
- Speak with pride;
- fly above the ground;
- think before buying;
- look after the child;
- laugh with grandma;
- stand between trees;
- stop due to the rules.
Prepositional
Standing in the prepositional case, a noun answers questions about whom? about what?
- I think (about whom?) about mom, hare, doctor;
- Think about what?) about the pen, about the sun, about the pond, about silence.
Prepositions to use if the noun is in the prepositional case: by, on, about (about), in, at.
- Establish at the department;
- go to the museum;
- sit on a bench;
- talk about the film;
- sail on a boat.
