It can also usefully be used by intermediate learners who wish to review and consolidate their language skills, either with a teacher, or in self study mode. Development The “Living Russian Grammar’ was conceived by a group of Russian teachers at the Centre for French and Russian Studies (CREF), in Moscow. It responds to the needs of leamers who wish to acquire the basics of communication in Russian with a correct lexical and grammatical basis. The book was tested in different versions, and improved in response to feedback from clients at CREF - students, business people, diplomats, ex-pats ete. Principles This grammar does not purport to be a full description of the Russian language. Itis a teaching and learning tool based on a selection of the most essential grammatical structures, and introducing an active and useful vocabulary. We have tried to show how linguistic elements are organised and used in real contexts. In order to keep up with contemporary linguistic research, we have tried to avoid the use of an over specialised technical vocabulary, which might confuse learners. Similarly, we have only used examples that might be considered useful at this level of study. Lastly, we have always attempted to make the learning of Russian grammar less abstract, more interesting, and more motivating. Layout The book comprises 56 units, which allow separate research of each grammatical topic, as well as a set of grammatical tables at the end. In the units, grammatical points are explained on the left-hand pages, with live examples, and exercises to practise the language are given on the right-hand page. Certain more complex grammatical topics are split over several units. We hope that this volume will help you find pleasure and ease in acquiring the basics of everyday Russian, a language too often considered to be a difficult one to lear. We wish you good luck! The authors CRESS CORES 1 NOUNS and GENDER GENDER @ There are three genders : masculine, feminine and neuter. You can tell them apart by their ending. masculine : masculine nouns end in a consonant, or in i, of -b : répoa (a town), apyr (a friend), myéii (a museum), yurrrent (a teacher). feminine : feminine nouns end in -a or in -8 or -b : nana (a lamp), noapyra (a git friend), cembsi (a family), ABepb (a door). neuter : neuter nouns end in -o or in -e or in -ma : OKHO (a window), CONHUe (the sun), BPéMA (time)... ++ Some masculine nouns that refer to people end in -a or -a. They decline like feminine nouns, but words that refer to them (adjectives for example) are masculine. This applies equally to masculine diminutive name forms that end in -a : mykuiha (a@ man) Qéayuika (grandfather) Caéwa = (AnekcaHap) = Mvwa (Muxavin) AAA (uncle) YoHowa (young man) Cepéxa (Cepréii) Nera (Métp) +: Nouns that end in -b can be either feminine or masculine. masculine feminine Alte (the day) Kpemne (the Kremlin) | MaTb, AOYb (mother, daughter) conb(salt) rocte (the guest) cnoBapb (the dictionary) HOBOCTE (a piece of news) cet (autumn) BOXAb (the rain) —_xviTeNb (the inhabitant) TeTpaAb (the exercise book) HOU (the night) + Certain nouns that denote a profession have no feminine form : anBoxar (a lawyer), spay (a doctor), McTOpUk (a historian), uMakKeHép (an engineer)... On mukeHép. He is an engineer. Qua uinkeHép. She is an engineer. & When such nouns are used with the name of a person and a verb in the past tense, the verb agrees with the name of the person: Vinkeriép Nerpésa npuwind. Engineer Petrova has arrived. “ The word xonnéra can be masculine or feminine: Sto Moi Konnéra Buktop. This is my colleague Victor. ‘Sto mos konnéra Onbra. This is my colleague Olga. : There are invariable nouns, usually nouns of foreign origin. Most of these nouns are neuter : TanbT6 (a coat), KUHO (the cinema), MeTp6 (the metro), but Kétbe (coffee) is masculine. ++ The gender of invariable proper nouns (geographical names, newspaper titles, etc.) corresponds to the gender of the noun denoting the category to which they belong: Aanéxuii Kanpu (Sctpos: island) (far away Capn) Hoebid “Mapa Mary’ (kypHan: magazine) (the new Paris Match) MeEner cues eae 1 Sort the words in the list below according to their gender: ropon, xypHan, NoApyra, OKHO, cTon, TenecboH, AeBoUKa, NMCEMO, paGoTa, NanbTO, cTyN, Yall, py4Ka, kapatjaul, KonbuO, NNOWaAb, cnoBaps, TeTpaMb, apay, raseTa, MALIMHA, BHHO, YPAKHEHHE, MHCTHTYT, Mygeit, Manbunk, npeAnoxKeHne, Apyr, chyYal, KoHcepeH\nA, COBpaHue, nonoTeHUe.

Declensions play an essential part in the structure of a Russian sentence. The ending of the word changes, depending on the function of the word in the sentence and its relationship with other words. This also has an effect on the meaning. Certain functions are expressed by means of a case ending and a preposition. Nouns have six cases. Each declension is a set of six case endings, each of which conveys a different word function within a sentence. Nouns therefore have six singular and six plural forms, each recognised by its particular ending. Thus the word kxutra (the book) has the following endings: singular plural nominative —KHur-a KHnr-n | | genitive kar Hur | dative KHn-e KHUT-aM | accusative KHUT-y KHUT- instrumental kvur-o14 kHr-aMn | prepositional e xHwr-e 8 KHMT-aX ‘ The ending is often enough to determine the role of the word in the sentence. - Axynin Sty kuvry cectpé. (this book) > direct object: accusative. = I bought this book for my sister. (for my sister) > indirect object: dative @ Certain prepositions are always followed by a particular case: — Bika acerné nbér Kétbe 6ea cdxapa. Vika always drinks coffee without sugar. > 6es + genitive. # Certain prepositions can be followed by more than one case, depending on the meaning: — Bnapiimup nowén 3a xné60m. Viadimir went to get some bread, > 2a + instrumental, = Sl Hanucdn cratbid 3a HepEmHO. | wrote the article in a week. > sa + accusative 18 THE DECLENSIONS @ The nominative singular is the «basic» form of the noun. When you look at the nominative singular you can usually tell which declension the word belongs to. ‘+ There are three declensions: The first and second declensions have so-called «hard» and «soft» versions. The third declension has only a «soft» version. First declension All nouns ending in -a or -si, with the exception of words in -Msl (apeMa, uma, ...). The great majority of these nouns are feminine, but there is a group of masculine nouns that also belong to this declension, including many diminutive forms of masculine first names: Mawmna the car, TETA the aunt, Co6aKa the dog, Bona waler, but AéAyWKa the grandfather, nana dad, Mypkuinna the man, How the youth, ArIAA the uncle, Kéna Kolya, Néta Petya... Words that end in -a are said to have «hard» endings, words that end in «A are said to have «soft» endings. Second declension All masculine nouns that end in a consonant, in a soft sign -b or in the letter -i_as well as all neuter nouns that end in -0 or in -e: AIOM the house, coK the juice, OKA the rain, My36i4 the museum, BHO the wine, MOpe the sea... Masculine nouns: words that end in a consonant are said to have «hard» endings, words that end in -b or in--Hi are said to have «soft» endings. Neuter nouns: words that end in «0» are said to have «hard» endings, words that end in «e» are said to | have «soft» endings. Third declension All feminine nouns that end in a soft sign -b: HOYb the night, cont salt, OCeHb autumn. | | @ There are also nouns that have irregular declensions. These are nouns that end in -mat (pa time, tims the name, 3HaMA the flag...) and the word nyTb the way. “ Adjectives, cardinal and ordinal numbers and pronouns also decline in Russian, but their endings are different from those of nouns. THE USE OF CASES : GENERAL CONCEPTS Nominative The subject of the sentence, or a nominative complement. Genitive: To qualify a noun or an adverb. To render «of». After certain prepositions. Dative Indirect object. Impersonal expressions. After certain prepositions. After certain verbs. Accusative : Direct object. Expres: Ns of time (duration). Movement to. Instrumental : To express means, instrument. After «C» to express accompaniment, After certain other prepositions. After certain verbs. Prepositional orlocative : After the preposition «o» - about.
