Thread: The ultimate Russian noun-endings list

On -а/-я:

Имя существительное. Окончания именительного падежа множественного числа

Окончания именительного падежа множественного числа существительных мужского рода

Some of you might be thinking why I am trying to create such a complete table of Russian noun endings. The answer is simple, namely I haven't been able to find any English sources that provide such a table in a comprehensive and simple way, while at the same time being as complete as possible. Sure, there are some grammar books that have such tables, but those tables are far from complete. Even Wikipedia isn't fully complete.

So in a way, someone like me who is serious about learning Russian, will have to make such a table themselves, otherwise the information is spread across many grammar books, websites and Wikipedia, which can make learning Russian a difficult task.

That's why I'm glad to have found the Master Russian forum, because the quality in-depth answers here allow me to move forward in compiling and mapping important parts of the Russian language that need to be learned and remembered. In this way Russian becomes understandable for the "Western mind" so to speak.

And at the same time I get to share this with other people who want to learn Russian. :)

Спасибо, Сердце львова. Я думаю, что ваша работа очень хорошо, и буду рассказывать моим друзьям о ваша таблице. Мало ошибок я заметил: акценты нет в third declination neuters, и на "путя́ми" акцент неправильный. Огромное спасибо ещё раз!

interesting project, I'm still working through digesting your chart

have a question, where does a word like палец work out on the chart?

Update: http://bit.ly/1cYyQUt

I've added tables that list the genders of endings in a comprehensive way and a table that lists the vowels, consonants and signs.
The reason is that some of the notes at the bottom contain terms like "consonant", "vowel", "hard" and "soft".
A beginner of Russian language will not necessarily know which letters are vowels, consonants and which ones are hard or soft.

I've also added more notes to clarify certain things.

If anyone has any more ideas of what I can add to this table, then let me know. One example could be to make
a distinction between animate and inanimate words, so that people who see the table, can discern whether
they need to use the Nominative or Genitive case.

However I'm still figuring out on how to do that in the most comprehensive and simple way. If anyone has
ideas for this, then feel free to let me know.

I think it will fall under: - ¹

Because:

1. The word ends with a consonant
2. It's a hard consonant, but it doesn't fall under the listed exceptions

However some people on this forum will have to confirm this, because I'm not sure about it.
