3 Spelling Rules

by Tatyana Shlyak



Three Spelling Rules


These spelling rules explain many of the irregularities in the declension of Russian nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and in the conjugation of Russian verbs. 

Rule 1: 

The letter ы may not occur after г, к, х and ж, ч, ш, щ.  Instead of ы, the letter и should be written.  This rule is particularly important for plural forms of nouns and in the endings of adjectives. 


Rule 2: 

The letters ю and я may not occur after г, к, х and ж, ц, ч, ш, щ.  Instead of ю and я, the letters у and а should be written, respectively.  This rule is particularly important in verb endings. 


Rule 3: 

Unstressed о may not occur after ж, ц, ч, ш, щ in endings (but it may occur in roots).  The letter о should be replaced by the letter е
