Grammar Notes
Possessive Pronouns: Моё
In Russian, possessive pronouns like 'my' (мой, моя, моё, мои) change form depending on the gender and number of the noun they modify. 'Моё' is used for neuter singular nouns, like 'имя' (name).
Example: “Моё имя Анна. (My name is Anna.)”
Prepositional Case for Location: 'на' + Accusative
To express 'on' or 'at' with certain locations, especially with views, we use the preposition 'на' followed by the noun in the accusative case. 'Город' (city) becomes 'город' in the accusative.
Example: “С видом на город. (With a view of the city.)”
Asking 'Where?': Где?
'Где?' is the interrogative word for 'where' when asking about location. The answer often uses prepositions like 'там' (there) or 'слева' (on the left).
Example: “Где лифт? (Where is the elevator?)”
