Ruslan Russian Grammar 37

Irregular genitive plural endingsSome masculine nouns have a genitive plural which is the same as the nominative singular.

Nominative singular Genitive plural Nominative singular Genitive pluralñîëä‚ò (soldier) ñîëä‚ò ïàðòèç‚í (partisan) ïàðòèç‚íãëàç (eye) ãëàç â‹ëîñ (hair) âîë‹ññàï‹ã (boot) ñàï‹ã íîñ‹ê (sock) íîñ‹êâîëüò (volt) âîëüò (íîñ‹ê also has the colloquial genitive plural íîñê‹â)

Other Irregularities‹áëàêî - “a cloud” - has the genitive plural îáëàê‹â.ñåñòð‚ - “a sister” - has the genitive plural ñåñò¸ð.áîëã‚ðèí - “a Bulgarian” - has the genitive plural áîëã‚ð.ïóòü has its own declension, see section 80.ìàòü and äî÷ü have the stem ìàòåð- and äî÷åð- throughout their declension.Other nouns have a stem change throughout the plural declension, see section 2.ñûí - “a son” - has the genitive plural ñûíîâˆé.

Plural nounsNouns that exist in the plural only (section 2) do not have gender. However, they have either masculine or femininegenitive plural endings, and you need to learn these individually. For example:

î÷ê‰ - “glasses” - has the masculine genitive plural î÷ê‹â.äæ‰íñû - “jeans” - has the masculine genitive plural äæ‰íñîâ.í‹æíèöû - “scissors” - has the feminine genitive plural í‹æíèö.äˆíüãè - “money” - has the feminine genitive plural äˆíåã.

The genitive is used to express “of”There is no word “of” in Russian. The main meaningof the English “of”, and of the English “apostrophe s”,is rendered in Russian by the genitive case ending.

êîíˆö ¬òîãî ã‹äà the end of this yeará‚íêà èêð› a tin of caviareäîì Ñîâˆòîâ house of the Sovietsäîì áð‚òà my brother’s houseìóæ Ò‚íè Tanya’s husbandâåëîñèïˆäû äåòˆé the children’s bikesäâåí‚äöàòîå èƒíÿ the twelth of JuneÄåíü Ðîññ‰è Russia Day

The genitive after prepositionsThe genitive is used after a large number of prepositions, including áåç, âäîëü, âîêð˜ã, äî, äëÿ,èç, èç-çà, èç-ïîä, íàïð‹òèâ, ‹êîëî, îò, ï‹ñëå, ñ and ó.áåç ñ‚õàðà without sugarâäîëü áˆðåãà along the shoreâîêð˜ã íàñ around usäî ñðåä› until Wednesdayäˆíüãè äëÿ Ìàð‰è money for Maria͉íà èç Ìîñêâ› Nina is from Moscowèç-çà ïîã‹äû because of the weatherèç-ïîä âîä› from under the water

In some cases “of” is expressed differently: öåí‚ íà ãàç - the price of gas

áóò›ëêà èç-ïîä âèí‚ a wine bottleíàïð‹òèâ Êðåìëµ opposite the Kremlin‹êîëî ÷‚ñà about an hourïèñüì‹ îò Èâ‚íà a letter from Ivanï‹ñëå ñïåêò‚êëÿ after the showñ ïîíåäˆëüíèêà since Mondayó ñåñòð› at my sister’s

See “to have”, section 51

“To have” - ó with the genitiveThere is no commonly used verb “to have”. Instead use the preposition ó with the genitive.

Èíèöèàò‰âà ó æåí› ïðåçèäˆíòà. The President’s wife has the initiative.Ó Èâ‚íà åñòü ñîá‚êà. Ivan has a dog.

38 Ruslan Russian Grammar

The genitive is used after several prepositions to render “from”èç is used to mean roughly “from out of”. Use èç for “from” when you use â for “to”.

â Ñàð‚íñê to Saransk èç Ñàð‚íñêà from Saranskñ is used to mean roughly “from off of”. Use ñ for “from” when you use íà for “to”.

íà âîêç‚ë to the station ñ âîêç‚ëà from the stationîò is used for “from” when you are talking about movement or distance from. It is the opposite ofê - “towards” or äî - “up to / as far as”.

Êëèˆíò îòîø¸ë îò ê‚ññû. The client moved away from the cash desk.Îò Ìîñêâ› äî Âëàäèâîñò‹êà 9302 êèëîìˆòðà (ïî æåëˆçíîé äîð‹ãå).

It is 9302 kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok (by rail).

ó can mean “from” in the sense of taking something from someone.Îí‚ óêð‚ëà ôóð‚æêó ó ìèëèöèîíˆðà. She stole the cap from the policeman.

The genitive is used after indefinite numerals (expressions of quantity) such as ìí‹ãî andì‚ëî. See section 77.

 Ìîñê∠‹÷åíü ìí‹ãî í‹âûõ ìàø‰í. There are very many new cars in Moscow.Ó ìåíµ ì‚ëî âðˆìåíè. I don’t have much time..

Certain verbs take the genitive case.These include æåë‚òü - “to wish”, and áîµòüñÿ - “to be afraid of”.

Æåë‚þ òåሠóñïˆõîâ. I wish you success.Îí‚ áî‰òñÿ âûñîò›. She is afraid of heights.

In set phrases æåë‚òü is usually omitted:Ñïîê‹éíîé í‹÷è! Good night!Âñåã‹ âàì ä‹áðîãî! All the best to you!Óä‚÷è òåáˆ! Good luck to you!

Several verbs that take the accusative when the object is something specific, take thegenitive instead when the object is something more general. Compare:

Îí æä¸ò àâò‹áóñà. He is waiting for a bus.Îí æä¸ò àâò‹áóñ í‹ìåð 6. He is waiting for bus number 6.

Verbs that behave in this way include èñê‚òü - ”to search for”, æäàòü - “to wait for”,îæèä‚òü - “to expect”, ïðîñ‰òü - “to ask for”, and õîòˆòü - “to want”.

Îí‰ ‰ùóò ñ÷‚ñòüÿ. They are looking for happiness.

The genitive can be used in comparativesComparatives (section 25) are expressed either with ÷åì - “than” - and the nominative, or with agenitive, as in the examples below.

Îí ñò‚ðøå, ÷åì ÿ. He is older than me.Îí ñò‚ðøå ìåíµ.Ýéôåëåâà á‚øíÿ í‰æå, ÷åì Îñò‚íêèíñêàÿ á‚øíÿ. The Eiffel tower is lowerÝéôåëåâà á‚øíÿ í‰æå Îñò‚íêèíñêîé á‚øíè. than the Ostankino tower.

The genitive with numbersThe nominative singular is used with 1, 21, 31, etc. and 101, 121, 131, 1001, etc.Note that îä‰í has a feminine, a neuter and a plural form

îä‰í áîëüø‹é äîì one large houseîäí‚ êðàñ‰âàÿ æˆíùèíà one beautiful womanäâ‚äöàòü îäí‹ òàêñ‰ 21 taxisîäí‰ ÷àñ› one clock / watch

Áåðåã‰ñü àâòîìîá‰ëÿ!Watch out for a car!

The mnemonic “âèçêäîòíàñ” will help you remember these preposition pairs.â is the opposite of èçê or äî is the opposite of îòíà is the opposite of ñ

(÷àñ› is a plural noun)

Ruslan Russian Grammar 39

Other numbers use the genitiveíîëü - “zero” - uses the genitive plural.

íîëü ãð‚äóñîâ zero degrees

For numbers 2, 3, 4, 22, 23, 24, 32, 33, 34, etc. use the genitive singular of nouns.äâà is used for masculine and neuter, and äâå is used for the feminine.

äâà ðóáëµ two roublesäâå êîïˆéêè two kopecksòðè ñåñòð› three sistersäâ‚äöàòü ÷åò›ðå ÷àñ‚ twenty four hoursñòî äâà ìˆñòà one hundred and two places

With these same numbers, use the genitive plural for masculine and neuter adjectives, and thenominative plural for feminine adjectives.

äâà ðîññ‰éñêèõ ðóáëµ two Russian roublesäâå ñò‚ðûå êîïˆéêè two old kopecksòðè ð‚äîñòíûå ñåñòð› three joyful sisters

For numbers 5-20, 25-30, 35-40, etc. use the genitive plural of nouns and adjectives.ïÿòü êð‚ñíûõ ðîç five red rosesîä‰ííàäöàòü ç‚ïàäíûõ ñòðàí eleven western countriesäâ‚äöàòü ÷¸ðíûõ ê‹øåê twenty black catsñòî äâ‚äöàòü èíòåíñ‰âíûõ óð‹êîâ one hundred and twenty intensive lessons

The genitive with negativesThe genitive is used after íåò, íå áóäˆò, íˆ áûëî and other verbs to express absence.

Ó ìåíµ íåò æåí›. I have no wife.Òàì íå á˜äåò cíˆãà. There won’t be any snow there.Ó íå¸ íˆ áûëî áë‰çêèõ äðóçˆé. She had no close friends.Ãîëîñ‹â íˆ áûëî ñë›øíî. No voices could be heard.Âîä› íå îñò‚ëîñü. There was no water left.Íå õâàò‚ëî áåíç‰íà. There wasn’t enough petrol.

For negative constructions with transitive verbs, use the genitive when you are talking aboutsomething that is undefined.

ß íå èìˆþ ïîíµòèÿ. I have no idea.ß íå áðàë äˆíåã. I didn’t take any money.

But use the accusative for something defined.ß íå áðàë äˆíüãè. I didn’t take the money.

The partitive genitiveThere is a partitive genitive singular in -ó or -þ, which is used with a small number of commonmasculine nouns. This is commonly used in set phrases and in everyday colloquial speech.

÷‚øêà ÷‚þ a cup of teañòî ãðàìì ñ›ðó 100 grams of cheeseÒû õ‹÷åøü êîíüÿê˜? Do you want some cognac?ìí‹ãî íàð‹äó a lot of people

Contrast the last example with the normal genitive: â‹ëÿ íàð‹äà - “the will of the people”.

 àâò‹áóñå á›ëî ìí‹ãî íàð‹äó.There were a lot of people on the bus.
