Cases & aspect: the system in 20 min

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

6 cases: Nom. (who/what — subject), Gen. (whose — absent), Dat. (to whom), Acc. (whom/what), Instr. (with what), Prep. (about what). Each has its question and prepositions. Aspect: perfective (what done? — result, once) vs imperfective (what doing? — process, repeated). This is the key — master these two blocks and 80% of rules follow.

●Nom. who? mother | Gen. no whom? mother | Dat. to whom? mother
●Acc. whom? mother | Instr. with whom? mother | Prep. about whom? mother
●Pfv.: прочитал (finished) | Ipfv.: читал (process)

📚 The cases have a „mama test“: if the ending sticks — run through мама/мамы/маме/маму/мамой/о маме. Works for 90% of feminine nouns.
