Learning the Russian ‘Dative’ case with musician Victor Tsoi
Exploring the dative case with the help of the iconic musician's song.
Привет!
Today we're taking a look at one of the songs of cult 80s musician Victor Tsoi- “Песня без слов” (“A Song Without Words”). It's not only a great song, but also a wonderful example of the dative case. Here, the dative case is used to indicate "to whom/for whom" something is addressed, given, or directed to. You'll find the nouns in the dative case marked in orange.
Some more examples:
- Я отправил письмо другУ из России.
I sent a letter to my friend from Russia. - Иван купил подарок очень дорогой подарок своей девушкЕ.
Ivan bought a very expensive gift for his girlfriend.
