Yeah, what's up with that? I see that structure sometimes too, Why does the name of the person change and what is the rule for this change?

How do you say Igor's room? Игорина комната? Sounds a little femenine to me...

Игора комната = Igor's room
в Игорой комнатe = in Igor's room

Names have cases too.

It only works for the nouns of first declention when the endings are "a" or "я", regardless of a gender.
How do you say Igor's room? -комната Игоря
Misha's room -Мишина комната

Игора комната = Igor's room
в Игорой комнатe = in Igor's room

It's not so correct, unfortunately.

And the rule is for the -а -я endings? Add -ина??

Анна - Аннина (Анина)
Валя - Валина
Собака - Собакина?

Комната Маши and Машина комната are both correct and mean the same thing. Which expression to use depends on the context and on the person's speaking manner.

Комната Игоря _correct
Игорин комната ????? - wrong!!!

Yes, -ина for feminine nouns, -ин for masculine nouns, - инo for neuter nouns. (ванина ручка, кошкин дом, катино платье.)

Игорева комната.
В Игоревой комнате.

Пока не прибежал alexei и не начал опять обвинять меня в том, что и эти примеры "doesn't look natural at all" скажу, что лично я перефразировал бы эти предложения так:

Комната Игоря.
В комнате Игоря.

На мой взгляд, эти варианты звучат лучше. Хотя вот 'Машина комната' и 'комната Маши' - примерно одинаково.

Thanks DennisM.

How would you say "the car's room"?
Just a hypothetical question since машина = car.

A car cannot have a room, unanimate objects are not allowed to own real estate.
How would you say "the car's room"? - гараж

Grammaticaly speaking, it is allowed to say the car's room. Kwatts wanted to know how to tell the difference between the car's room and Masha's room.

1 Машина комната
2 комната машины

1 can never mean the car's room, because Машина would have to be in genetive, leading to case number 2.

You could also say "машинина комната" :twisted: ;)
