Why, yes, yes it does.


  • Nominative: Dictionary form. This is used when the word is the subject of the sentence.
  • Accusative: This is used if the word is the direct object
  • Genitive: This is used to show possession of something.
  • Dative: This is used if the word is the indirect object.
  • Instrumental: This is used if the word describes the way in which something is done.
  • Prepositional: This is used of the word helps to describe a location.
Each case takes a different ending depending up the gender of the word.

What is the difference between Russian and English?

Actually Russian and English grammar are quite similar in most ways. The chief differences are that Russian is a synthetic language syntactically, whereas English is an analytical language. Russian utilizes numerous noun cases, three grammatical genders, and distinguishes between perfective and imperfective aspect in verbs. English retains cases only in pronouns and has fairly simple morphology of nouns; verbs distinguish between simple and progressive aspects.
