What is the right way to say?
\\\\\\\
\\\\\\
| ЭТО ИРИНА. ЭТО ТЕЛЕФОН ИРИН… |
|
Not sure?
\\\\\\\
Это Ирина. Это телефон Ирины (№2).
NOUN + NOUN => №2 (Genitive case)
\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\
Падеж №2
(Genitive case)
|
last letter - а/ -я |
last letter - cons / – ь (он!) |
|
№2: – ы / -и* |
№2: - а / -я** |
|
Анна – Анны Таня – Тани Ольга – Ольги дядя – дяди |
Антон – Антона Андрей – Андрея Игорь – Игоря |
\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\
*If the last letter is -а, we normally change it to -ы in Genitive.
If the last letter is -я, we change it to -и in Genitive.
We change last -а to -и after к, г, х, ч, щ, ж, ш.
If the last letter is -а or -я, a gender of a noun doesn’t matter
(feminine and masculine nouns change the same way).
\\\\\\\
**If the last letter is a consonant, we add -а in Genitive.
Й is a consonant; й+а is spelled я.
If the last letter is -ь and the noun is masculine (!), we change -ь to -я in Genitive.
