The Instrumental Case | Learn Russian Grammar

In this video we're discussing the Russian Instrumental Case. The primary function of the Instrumental Case is to indicate the instrument or tool used to complete an action. In this sense, it used without the preposition 'c'. When used after the preposition 'c', the Instrumental Case roughly means "with" (as in "together with someone / something", as opposed to indicating an instrument / tool). Of course there are other uses of the Instrumental Case, as well as plural forms...all of which we'll cover in another video!

That's what I do! Reference a few examples in my head and then apply the same rule. Great advice.

Great content. This case and dative are taking me the most time, not exactly because I didn't understand it but because I can't put in practice.

ой ой, At 14:57 It's written "Я пью чай с кошкой" instead of "Я играю с кошкой", it's funny 😂. Excellent video by the way друг you got a new subscriber.

Thanks for the very clear video! If you are saying that you're speaking with someone and you mention him/her with both name and patronymic, both should be in the instrumental case, right?

يجب ان تضع لنا تمارين في هذا الدرس حتى نرى هل فهمنا أم لا.

So I'm kinda struggling to understand where the stress falls but I noticed a pattern and I'd like to know whether this holds true in general or whether it was just coincidence. So -ом seemed to be unstressed in most words except those that already had the stress on the last syllable in nominative case (молокó => молокóм). Also for nouns that only have one syllable like нóж => ножóм. Is it always like that?

Edit: лимóн => лимóном breaks my rule so i'm guessing no
