1 Use the prefix пере- when there is at least one middleman such as “Give him my love.” or “Please pass the butter.”
2 The implied subject is ты (thou). It is omitted in command sentences just like in English.
3 The implied subject is вы (you).
4 The subject они (they) should be left implied if the identity of the giver is unimportant such as in the sentence “They gave me a job.”
5 Naming a source is obviously not appropriate in this case.
Notice that this generator uses a different case in each of its four columns. If you want to add more words to this generator, you must put them in the proper case. The simplified rules in the chart below will help you:
Masculine | Feminine | |
Nominative | no change | no change |
Genitive | add -а | change -а to -ы, -я to -и |
Dative | add -у | change -а or -я to -е |
Accusative | add -а if animate | change -a to -у, -я to -ю |
These rules do not cover plurals or all possible exceptions. Refer to Grammar 5—Russian Case Charts.
