Relative clauses in Russian give more details about a noun. They help make sentences more interesting and clear. These clauses often start with the words который (which) or кто (who). They tell us more about the noun that comes right before them.

How Relative Clauses Work:

1. Simple Sentence:
   Я вижу машину.
   (I see a car.)

2. With a Relative Clause:
   Я вижу машину, которая красная.
   (I see a car that is red.)

Common Words Used:

• который (which/that) is for things like cars, books, etc.
• кто (who) is for people.

Examples:

• Книга, которую я читаю, интересная.
  (The book that I am reading is interesting.)

• Человек, который там стоит, мой друг.
  (The person who is standing there is my friend.)
