Nouns in Russian has 3 genders, masculine, feminine and neuter. Maskulin usually ends with the consonant, feminine usually ends with a vowel –a or –я and neuter usually ends with a vowel –e or –o. when you make a sentence with noun, you must change the end of noun with a formula according to gender, we will talk about it in this lesson.

Маша студентка (Masha is student)
Ты студент? (are you student)
Нет, я не студент (no, I am not student)
Sometimes “to be” in Russian is omitted, it is such like an informal speech.
Alright let’s learn more, these are personal pronouns

I have said before that in Russian have three kinds of gender masculine, feminine and neuter. Maskulin usually ends with a consonant, feminine usually ends with a vowel –a or –я and neuter usually ends with a vowel –e or –o. These are the example:

Now let’s try with an example
Откуда вы? Where are you from

Они из москвы? Are they from Moscow?
The dictionary form of Moscow is москва and it will change into москвы according to the case. There are 6 cases in Russian language Nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, instrumental and prepositional. We will learn this cases on the next lesson so stay tuned.
