Thread: Who's afraid of Russian Nouns...? [me!] Русские существительные........

First of all, you are confused about cases and not just Russian nouns.

Now, to make it simple... cases are like the word order in English. Cases are simply word endings that show what role a noun plays in a sentence. Learn the cases. Learn the case endings. And then you'll be able to generate all those tables automatically... except for the exceptions, of course

Do you remember how you studied French and especially Spanish verbs? Was it possible to remember all the forms immediately? No.
If you take courses, everything will come to there place.
Children very quickly understand how to use cases, but often make wrong forms.
Руком (рукой), лефа (льва) and so on.
