In a previous post, we have learned about the instrumental case of Russian nouns. If you've already familiar with the formulas and can create sentences using this case, let's continue learning more about the adjective as well. The accusative case of Russian adjective has a function to describe a noun from a direct object. Just like a noun, the adjective in accusative also has a formula as you can see below.
The hard adjectives have the suffix "-ый", "-ой", and "-ий". If the object is animate, the adjective will be replaced with –ого for masculine and -ых for plural.
