* Russian

These are some of my notes from learning Russian.

** Dictionary

I have dictionary files to allow for offline browsing of a Russian-English and
English-Russian dictionary. The files can be found {../resources/rus-dict.tar.xz here}
(tar.xz archive). These can be opened in a program like {http://www.goldendict.org/ goldendict}.

** Verb conjugation

Verbs are conjugated differently according to the pronoun of the subject.

As an example, the following are different conjugations of the word "говорить"
(to talk).

===
          |Present
Я         |говорю
Ты        |говоришь
Он/Она/Оно|говорит
Мы        |говорим
Вы        |говорите
Они       |говорят
===

Future tense is formed by combining the future tense of быть with the verb in
question in infinitive:

"I'll talk to him" → "Я буду говорить с ним"

Past tense relies on the gender of the subject and whether or not it is plural
or singular.

===
         |Masculine|Feminine|Neuter
Singular |говорил  |говорила|говорило
Plural   |говорили |--      |--
===

Imperative doesn't rely on gender.

===
Singular|говори
Plural  |говорите
===

** У

У is used to denote possession and telling where you are.

===
I have an apple    |У меня есть яблока
You have a book    |У тебя есть книга
I'm by the window  |Я у окна
I'm at Anna's place|Я у Анна
===

** Numbers

0  |ноль
1  |один
2  |два
3  |три
4  |четыре
5  |пять
6  |шесть
7  |семь
8  |восемь
9  |девять
