Thread: The ultimate Russian noun-endings list

So perhaps дверь follows the declension pattern of an unlisted exception on Wikipedia?: Russian grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Дверь is feminine. You should use "Third decl. f." row of your table.

дверь - двери - двери - дверь - дверью - двери; двери - дверей - дверям - двери - дверьми - дверях

Ah! Aha!

Thank you so much, I completely overlooked that there was a second soft-sign in my table. Which makes it obvious that I still need to memorize it.

And I'm glad that the row I referred to in my table wasn't full of errors.

I intend to make this table as complete as possible, including all exceptions. I intend to do the same for pronouns and adjectives and also conjugations of Russian verbs. It's going to be quite a task.

Why am I doing this? Well I want to map Russian grammar for myself. And I want to do it in the most complete, yet minimalistic way, so that it is as comprehensible to me (and perhaps others) as possible. Because Russian is complex and this will make it simpler for me, because after all these tables are done, I can start to memorize them and that will allow me to move forward and make solid progress.
