Russian Nouns

Now let's learn Russian Nouns, shall we? Nouns reflect objects and concepts around us: The people are running - Π›ΡŽΠ΄ΠΈ Π±Π΅Π³Π°ΡŽΡ‚.

Nouns have the following grammatical categories: gender, number, case, and animation/unanimation.

Russian nouns are normally formed using the following suffixes: -Ρ‚Π΅Π»ΡŒ, -Ρ‰ΠΈΠΊ, -Π½ΠΈΠΊ, -ΠΎΡΡ‚ΡŒ etc.

In the sentence they are used as Subject or Object. Nouns denote objects like ΠΊΠ½ΠΈΠ³Π° (a book), Ρ‚Π΅Π°Ρ‚Ρ€ (a theater), parts of objects like ΠΊΡ€Ρ‹ΡˆΠΊΠ° (a tip), live creatures like лиса (a fox), as well as their actions and states like болСзнь (an illness), Ρ€Π°Π΄ΠΎΡΡ‚ΡŒ (gladness).
