In Russian, adjectives (words that describe things) need to match the nouns (names of people, places, or things) they describe. This means they have to agree in three ways: gender (like boy or girl), number (singular or plural), and case (which shows how a word is used in a sentence).

Let's look closer at the word "маленький" (which means small) when we use it with "гора" (which means mountain), especially when we talk about more than one mountain.

Here’s how it works:

1. Gender and Number:

   • When talking about one mountain, we say "маленькая гора" (small mountain).
   • When talking about more than one mountain, we say "маленькие горы" (small mountains).

2. Genitive Case (this shows ownership or relationship):

   • For one mountain, we say "маленькой горы" (of the small mountain).
   • For more than one mountain, we say "маленьких гор" (of the small mountains).

3. Practice Sentences:

   • For one mountain: "Эта маленькая гора красивая." (This small mountain is beautiful.)
   • For more mountains: "Несколько маленьких гор находятся здесь." (Several small mountains are here.)

Keep practicing these patterns to get better at matching "маленький" with "гора"! You've got this!
