The Nominative Case." The subject of a sentence
The Russian nominative case is used for the subject of a sentence. In the sentence “I love her”, the word “I” is the subject. The nominative case is the dictionary form for nouns, so there is nothing special to learn here.
The Nominative Plural
The only time you need to change the ending is to form the plural. In English we make a plural by adding “s”. In Russian, in the nominative case, you make a plural by using the letters “и”, “ы”, “я” or “а.
For masculine nouns: If the word ends in a consonant, add “ы”.
Replace “й” with “и”
Replace “ь” with “и”
For feminine nouns:
Replace “я” with “и”
Replace “ь” with “и”
Replace “а” with “ы” unless previous consonant is Г, К, Х, Ж, Ч, Ш, Щ then replace with "и" as per the spelling rules
For neuter nouns:
Replace “о” with “а”
Replace “е” with “я” :don't forget the spelling rules
Some examples
студент (student) becomes: студенты "students
газета (newspaper) becomes: газеты "newspapers
здание (building) becomes:здания "buildings
