Blah blah review accusative case endings, blah blah.

Nom: Новый чемодан, новое письмо, новая виза/синяя дверь, новые чемоданы
Acc In: Новый чемодан, новое письмо, новую визу/синюю дверь, новые чемоданы
Acc Ani: Нового студента, новую студентку, новых студенток

Nominative
Accusative Inanimate: Masc sing and Neut sing like nom, Fem sing with –ую for adjectives and –у for nouns. Plural, like nom.
Accusative Animate: like genitive, except for fem sing, which is like accusative inanimate.

1. Some masculine nouns have end stress whenever an ending is added.
2. Some masculine nouns with o or e in the semifinal position lose this vowel whenever an ending is added: амениканец – американца, отец – отца
3. The accusative singular of feminine –ь nouns looks the same as the nominative case, even for animate beings. Мать – мать, дочь -- дочь
4. Nouns ending in –а or -я that refer to men or boys decline like feminine nouns, but they are masculine and they take masculine modifiers. Мы знаем вашего папу.
5. The possessive forms его, её, их never change. Examples: Вы знаете его маму? Я читаю её журнал. Она читает их письмо.

Aaand still not enough time to do the exercise. Bollocks. Two pages of review, though, that was good. And maybe today if I have the time I'll do noun tables. I did some noun tables last weekend!
