Russian Cases – Prepositional. Learn Russian Language Grammar with Russian from Russia! Russian cases made easy 🙂


It’s not easy to remember the six Russian cases’ endings. That’s why I’ve started my new Russian lessons series, called “6 Minute Cases Drill”. I hope these videos will help you to get used to the Russian cases. Today we’ll practice the Prepositional case.

Prepositions that we use with Prepositional are: при, в, на, о/об.

When talking about location, the preposition “в” (in) is mostly used for buildings and enclosed spaces.

The preposition “на” (on/at) is mostly used for open spaces.

Где лежит книга? – Книга лежит на столе.

Где мальчик сидит? – Мальчик сидит на стуле.

О ком ты говоришь? – Я говорю о моем друге.

When answering question ‘where’, you use the Prepositional case. However, when answering question ‘where to’, you use the Accusative case.

Pronouns – Russian Prepositional Case
