GIVE ANSWERS
TaceDecember 2023 Thank you, About_Blank. As an autodidact, I rely on whatever sources are available. I have heard there are exceptions to this rule on websites as well as the Polyglotclub chatbot. I don’t trust the chatbot as far as I can throw it, but as stated, I have gotten similar information elsewhere.
Certainly! Here’s an example of ”в” governing the nominative case in Russian:
”Я живу в Москве.” (Ya zhivu v Moskve) - ”I live in Moscow.”
In this sentence, the preposition ”в” (v) is used to indicate location and governs the noun ”Москва” (Moskva) in its nominative case. The noun ”Москва” is in the nominative case because it acts as the subject of the sentence, and the preposition ”в” requires the noun to be in this case.
The chatbot can make all sorts of errors, so I only use it as a starting point. It is what confuses me. Still, thank you for your answer.
KGBDecember 2023 By definition the nominative case does not take any preposition - this is why it is called nominative.
TaceOctober 2023 About_Blank, Thank you.
I have heard that ”В” and ”за” can govern the nominative case in some cases. Was I told wrong?
