2.3 Грамма́тика – Masculine Nouns with stressed -у́

There is a small subset of masculine nouns in Russian that get a stressed -у́ ending in the Prepositional Case instead of the -e ending. They are mentioned here early on because they are very high frequency words and are often used in the Prepositional Case. Luckily there are just a few and they’re fairly easy to memorize.

Molly and I talk about this in the following video at the 3:00 mark:

	1. Где су́мка? Су́мка на полу́. ‘The purse is on the floor.’
	2. Где ве́щи? Ве́щи в шкафу́. ‘The things are in the closet.’
	3. Где маши́ны? Маши́ны на мосту́. ‘Cars are on the bride.’
	4. Где Поли́на и Оле́г? Они́ в лесу́. ‘They are in the forest.’
	5. Где он? Он стои́т на углу́[1]. ‘He is standing on the corner.’
	6. Где вы? Я в аэропорту́. ‘I am at the airport.’
	7. Где ко́шка? Ко́шка в саду́. ‘The cat is in the garden.’

Где ко́шка? Work through this set to practice the Prepositional case and describe where the cat is! You should NOT include stress marks in your answer!
