Interactive Russian Noun Declension Chart

The following table represents a summary of declension patterns for Russian nouns. You can interact with the table.

• Drag and drop rows and columns in to the order preferrable to you.
• Change the example noun(s) displayed in a column by selecting from the dropdown menu(s) at the top of the column.
• Select checkboxes to hide or show different categories of nouns, in case you only want to concentrate on a few things at once.
• The 'color cues' options allow you to toggle color-coding, to help visually group nouns by case and/or category. You can chose to color-code either by declension category or noun case. The color can be display either on the case endings themselves, or as a backdrop.
• Click on grammatical terms you are uncertain of to open a modal with a brief explanation of what they mean.
• If a declined noun has a spelling exception due one of the spelling rules, it will appear with a '*' char in the dropdown menu, and the case with the exception will appear bolded and italicized within the table. You can click on that text; it will take you to an explanation for the corresponding spelling rule. Nouns that present an 'unexepcted' spelling due to fleeting vowels are also distinguished.
