4 USES OF INSTRUMENTAL CASE IN RUSSIAN #learnrussian #russiangrammar #easyrussian #russianlanguage

For uses of the instrumental case, you have to know with singular nouns as examples. Remember that masculine and new nouns take "om" and feminine nouns take "oi" in instrumental. Number one, after the preposition with, which in Russian is "s" So, anytime you see "s" in Russian, "bam" instrumental. "Chai Saharam" tea with sugar. "Kosya Smolakom" coffee with milk. "Guliat sabake" walk with a dog. Use number two. Instruments or tools, duh, I mean it's literally called instrumental, but here's the catch. When you actually use it with an instrument or a tool, you do not literally use "with" so no "s" For example, I write with a pen, "yapishu" "Ruchkei" not "s" "Ruchkei" or "karandash" pencil, "yapishu" "karandashom" I write with a pencil, not "s" "karandashom" Even though in English, of course we say I write with a pen or with a pencil, but in Russian, as long as it's being used as a tool, no "with". Use number three, parts of the day and seasons. Don't try to find any logic in this one. Just remember it. For parts of the day, if you want to say "in" the morning, you don't literally say "in" the morning in Russian. You just put the word "morning" in instrumental case. No preposition. So "utra" is morning, but to say "in" the morning, you just say "utram" - "dien" - "dnjom" - "wetcher" - "wetcheram" - "noch" - "nochu" And yes, by the way, family announced "ending" in the soft sign in Russian in instrumental case take you fun fact. Same with the seasons, summer is "leta" in the summer, "letam" - "zima" - "zimoj" - "wesna" - "wesnoj" - "osin" - "osin you" And use number 4 - "roll" or "capacity" - "this one doesn't make much sense either" But basically whenever you describe a "roll" or "capacity" and you use a verb like "to be" or "to work as" or "to become" you must put it in instrumental case. For example, "ya" - "professor" - "that's nominative because there's no verb" But "ya" - "buu" - "professoram" - "ya" - "stal" - "professoram" - "ya" - "cha" - "bite" - "professoram" - "and so on" So summing up with instrumental tools parts of the day in seasons and "roll" or "capacity"
