How to determine the declension of nouns

The principles of declension must be known, if only because they are simple. In addition, if you do not understand how to determine declination, it is impossible to become a fully literate person. You just need to consider the nouns first by case, then by numbers. And to classify the word to be determined for this or that declension, especially since there are only three of them.

All on the shelves

Put the right word in the nominative singular. Attention to the ending. The first declension is a noun husband. And wives. Kind with the ending in -a and -y (casket, earth, man, uncle, etc.). The second declension is a noun. Genus ending with -o, -e and husband. Kind without end (city, table, cloud, field, etc.). The third declension is the noun of the wives. Kind, ending with a soft sign (shawl, mouse, cloth, youth). It seems everyone has already understood how to define declination. Now practice: post nouns that you will find around, on these three shelves. The main thing is to fix the skill to absolute automatism.

Humor from under the desk

Sometimes you get wonderful case declarations (remember, from the life of the school): I walk on the carpet, you go - too, on a carpet, it goes - accordingly, on the carpet, they go - certainly on the carpet ... Joke. In fact, cases are quite different. But first you need to remember how to determine the declination and what is the ending. The student simply did not understand everything about changing the names of nouns by case. The part of the word that stands after the root changes, yes! But how? It's not a joke. Because here on this ending and all undercurrent of the given word is defined.

And now it's correct

For example, take the word carpet again , eradicate the chuckles in the classroom, because we already know how to define declination. First by numbers. Carpet (unit number) - carpets (plural number). The end is -you remember. Notice that the vowel- e disappears from the root? That is, it is, then no, depending on the form. This vowel is fluent. So. Nominative: carpet (the whole word is root, without end); Genitive: carpet (ending -a , the root is already becoming -crust, because-it escaped); Dacia: carpet (ending with -y ); Accusative: carpet (without end); Instrumental: carpet (ending with -m ); Proposal: on the carpet (ending -e ). Compared the difference in the endings? This is the paradigm - a design sample.

About declensions of male names

Men's names with solid consonants in the end - Svyatoslav, Timur, Remus and the like - incline, as shown in the table with the example of Ivan . The deviation at declination remains in the same place. When declining the names of Peter , Leo and Frol, stress shifts to the ending. The lion and Paul, when declining, lose their runaway vowels. Names with sibilants or with a letter - c at the end in the instrumental case end with -em , but not with.

Men's names Igor , Shamil, Raul, Petrus, Wil, and all with soft consonants in the ending, tend according to the pattern in the table. The stress is usually on the same vowel. Only in some purely popular names it falls on the last syllable and in the instrumental case it is then written - e , but not - e : Ol e this (from Oles ). Stress on the same vowel. Male names that end in -a, only not after sizzling and never after - r, -k, -x, -c, bend like the example of Nikita . The stress will remain on the basis of or at the end. If the stress in the name on the last syllable, in the instrumental case is written -y , and not- i: Ilya .

And finally

Glorious ancient Russian names Gavrilo, Mikhailo, As well as all ending in -o , pass through the first declension ( Danila, Ivanka ) or the second declension (as the word rocker ). If the name is double and is written through a hyphen (Wolfgang-Amadeus, Devlet-Giray), only the last part of it bends, although, being used separately, the first part of the name also inclines. This, of course, in brief. The declension of male names is so diverse that it can be called almost individual.
