    What does Russian noun declension mean?

    Declension is the change in a noun's ending for case and number. Russian nouns use six commonly taught cases, each with several gender and stem patterns.

    Start with gender and singular patterns, then practise each case in short sentences before mixing genders, plurals, animacy, and preposition-driven forms.
