    Verbs and cases

    Hi all,
    would you know a site where I could find a list of verbs with the cases (and preposition) they take ?
    I am sure many students already did that...
    Excuse my english, I’m French.

    I don't know of any list that does that, but Lingvo often points out the case (in Russian)

    For example, if you look up наслаждаться, you'll get:

    ---------
    наслаждаться

    несов. - наслаждаться, сов. - насладиться; (тв.) (<-- Emphasis mine)
    take pleasure / delight (in); revel (in); enjoy (d)
    ---------

    That part normally indicates the case (i.e. тв. = творительный = instrumental).

    Alternatively, you can buy 501 Russian verbs. The case usage is normally illustrated at the bottom of the page of every verb. (Each verbs get a page of conjugation)
    "С чий очи сънувам, чий е този лик обречен?
    Смъртен глас ми се причува и отеква с вик далечен
    Как да зърна да погледна, чуждий образ да прегърна,
    на лицето ми студено грях в надежда да превърна.."

    It's called a dictionary.

    Most verbs can take multiple prepositions / cases, so such a 'list' would be far too big / disorganised.

    There is a book called 500 or 750 Russian verbs, which lists the verbs with prodigious examples of usage. I have this book and like it.

    Well a dictionary would give far more information than I am asking for.

    What I was looking for, was just a kind of summary list of most common verbs, classified by case. I thought it probably the kind of work many students would do to help themselves memorize, and I didn't want to lose time doing it if it already existed.
    I'll be certainly proud, though very surprised, to be the 1st to have this idea...

    Thanks anyway

    Most students learn verbs as they studies progress and pick up which cases / prepositions it uses as they progress, i.e. through seeing examples of the verb in use in articles / texts etc.

    The book you need

    I think that the book you need is "Русский Глагол. Предложное и беспредложное управление". Published by "Издательство Русский Язык" , 103009 Mосква, K-9 Пушкинская ул. 23. It contains over 5.000 verbs, 424 pages, I have the book in Spanish: "El verbo ruso: R
