существительное

The Russian part of speech 'существительное' translates to 'noun' in English. Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. In Russian, nouns have gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter) and can change form based on case, number, and sometimes animacy. For example, the noun 'стол' (table) is masculine and can appear in different cases: 'стол' (nominative), 'стола' (genitive), and 'столу' (dative). An example sentence is: 'На столе лежит книга.' (There is a book on the table.)
