== Introduction ==
Welcome to the lesson on the prepositional case in Russian! In this lesson, we will explore the prepositional case, which is used to indicate location or to talk about something in more detail.

==Introduction==
=== Feminine Adjectives ===
<p>Welcome to the lesson on the [[Language/Russian/Grammar/Prepositional-Case|Prepositional case]]! As you may already know, the Russian language has six cases: Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Instrumental, and Prepositional. The Prepositional case is used after prepositions, which are words that indicate the relationship between two nouns or a noun and a verb. In this lesson, we will learn the basics of the Prepositional case, and how to use it correctly in a sentence. After mastering this lesson, you might also be interested in exploring other aspects of Russian grammar, such as the [[Language/Russian/Grammar/Use-of-the-verb-%D0%B1%D1%8B%D1%82%D1%8C-in-the-past|use of the verb быть in the past]], some [[Language/Russian/Grammar/Very-important-rules|very important rules]] to keep in mind, and the difference between [[Language/Russian/Grammar/%D0%90-vs-%D0%9D%D0%BE|А and Но]]. Good luck and happy learning! 📚</p>
==When to use the Prepositional case==


<p>The Prepositional case is used after prepositions that indicate location, position, or movement. Here are some examples of prepositions that require the Prepositional case:</p>
Feminine singular adjectives in the prepositional case usually end in "-ой" or "-ей". Here are some examples:


<ul>
{| class="wikitable"
  <li>в (in, inside)</li>
! Russian !! Pronunciation !! English
  <li>на (on, onto)</li>
|-
  <li>о (about, concerning)</li>
| хорошей || hah-roh-shehj || in the good
  <li>по (on, along)</li>
|-
  <li>с (with, from)</li>
| большей || bohl'-shehj || in the big
</ul>
|-
| новой || noh-vohj || in the new
|}


<p>Here are some examples of nouns in the Prepositional case:</p>
Feminine plural adjectives in the prepositional case end in "-их" or "-ых". Here are some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

| больших || bohl'-sheekh || in the big
|-
|-
| о друзьях || ah DROO-z'yakh || about friends
| новых || noh-vihkh || in the new
|}
|}


==Forming the Prepositional case==
=== Neuter Adjectives ===


<p>To form the Prepositional case, you need to take the ending of the noun and replace it with the appropriate ending. Here are the endings for each gender:</p>
Neuter singular adjectives in the prepositional case usually end in "-ом" or "-ем". Here are some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Russian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| хорошем || hah-roh-shehm || in the good
|-
| большем || bohl'-shehm || in the big
|-
| новом || noh-vohm || in the new
|}


<ul>
Neuter plural adjectives in the prepositional case end in "-их" or "-ых". Here are some examples:
  <li>If the noun is masculine, the ending is -е (for example, дом - доме)</li>
  <li>If the noun is feminine, the ending is -е (for example, тарелка - тарелке)</li>
  <li>If the noun is neuter, the ending is -е (for example, окно - окне)</li>
  <li>If the noun is plural, the ending is -ах or -ях (for example, друзья - о друзьях) </li>
</ul>


==Exceptions==
{| class="wikitable"
! Russian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| хороших || hah-roh-see-kh || in the good
|-
| больших || bohl'-sheekh || in the big
|-
| новых || noh-vihkh || in the new
|}


<p>As with any rule, there are exceptions. Here are some other things to keep in mind when using the Prepositional case:</p>
== Pronouns in the Prepositional Case ==


<ul>
Pronouns also change their form when used in the prepositional case. Let's take a look at the prepositional case endings for pronouns:
  <li>Some masculine nouns that end in a consonant add -е to form the Prepositional case. For example, if the word ends in a soft consonant, such as й or ч, add -е. If the word ends in a hard consonant, such as т or п, add -е. Examples: ресторан - в ресторане (restaurant - in the restaurant), город - о городе (city - about the city).</li>
  <li>Some nouns have an irregular form in the Prepositional case. For example, the noun человек (person) becomes о человеке (about the person) in the Prepositional case.</li>
</ul>


==Some Common Prepositions==
{| class="wikitable"
! Russian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| мне || mne || to/for me
|-
| тебе || tyeh-beh || to/for you (informal)
|-

<p>Here are some common prepositions that take the Prepositional case:</p>
== Using the Prepositional Case ==


<ul>
Now that we have explored the rules and endings for the prepositional case, let's see how it is used in sentences. The prepositional case is often used with prepositions to indicate location or to provide more detailed information.
  <li>в (in, inside)</li>
  <li>на (on, onto)</li>
  <li>о (about, concerning)</li>
