Master the Russian accusative case singular for animate masculine nouns, modifiers, and the question word кого.

A close-up, editorial photograph captures a distinguished Russian man, resembling a writer or scholar, seated in a dimly lit, richly textured traditional study. He gazes thoughtfully into the middle distance, his contemplative expression illuminated by a soft, warm light from the side, emphasizing his features and the intricate details of his surroundings, composed for a 3:2 landscape frame.

Lesson#1
In Russian, when a male person is the direct object of an action, his noun ending changes in the accusative case. In this deck, you'll learn how to identify and talk about men, boys, and male family members you see, know, or meet. This form makes it immediately clear who is receiving the action.
Lesson#2
When asking about a person as the direct object of an action, Russian uses 'кого', which means 'whom'. This contrasts with 'что', which is used for inanimate objects. For example, 'Кого вы знаете?' means 'Whom do you know?'.
Quiz#3
Speaking formally, translate into Russian: 'Whom do you know?'

Кого вы знаете?

Quiz#4
Speaking to a friend, translate into Russian: 'Whom do you see?'

Кого ты видишь?

Lesson#5
Masculine nouns referring to men that end in a hard consonant add the ending А when they are direct objects. For example, 'студент' becomes 'студента', 'брат' becomes 'брата', and 'врач' becomes 'врача'. 'Я знаю студента' means 'I know the student'.
Quiz#6
Translate into Russian: 'I know the student.'

Я знаю студента
