Grammar Notes[]
Prepositional Formation[]
Prepositional is a case for nouns which is used only after certain prepositions. In this skill it is used with the prepositions на (on, at) and в (in, at).
The following table summarizes how to form the prepositional singular of nouns (prepositional plural will be introduced in a later skill).
| Nominative singular ending | Prepositional ending | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Masculine | Consonant | Consonant + е | парк = парке |
| -й | -е | край = крае | |
| -ь | -е | медведь = медведе | |
| Feminine | -а | -е | работа = работе |
| -я | -е | семья = семье | |
| -ь | -и | площадь = площади | |
| -ия | -ии | Россия = России | |
| Neuter | -о | -е | место = месте |
| -е | -е | море = море |
To summarize, in most cases the prepositional singular ends with -е, with the exception of feminine nouns ending in -ь or -ия.
