In Russian, we have something called the nominative case. This helps us identify the main part of a sentence.

When we want to talk about more than one thing (plural nouns), we need to use special endings. Let’s look at how this works:

1. Masculine Nouns

• If a noun ends with a consonant (like ‘b’, ‘t’, or ‘s’):
  • For example, "стол" (table) changes to "столы" (tables).
• If a noun ends with "-й" or "-ь":
  • For example, "учитель" (teacher) changes to "учителя" (teachers).

2. Feminine Nouns

• If a noun ends with "-а":
  • For example, "книга" (book) changes to "книги" (books).
• If a noun ends with "-я":
  • For example, "лампочка" (lightbulb) changes to "лампочки" (lightbulbs).

3. Neuter Nouns

• If a noun ends with "-о" or "-е":
  • For example, "окно" (window) changes to "окна" (windows).

Here Are Some Examples:

• "Студенты читают книги." means "Students read books."
• "Машины быстро ездят." means "Cars drive fast."

By learning these endings, you can easily use plural nouns in Russian!
