learn_russianI'm totally new to Russian grammar, so I want to know if my thinking process is incorrect.
My sentence is
Вечером я пишу в своей гостиной.
I guessed from the ending of гостиная that it is feminine, and в is a preposition, although not expressing motion. So, I looked at the endings for singular feminine nouns in the prepositional case. -ой is not listed on my chart. I also have Schaum's Russian Grammar, and it's not there either. I don't understand this noun suffix.
Thanks

Date: 2011-08-25 01:22 am (UTC)Could be, but that is not 0:20.
Anyway, I would not recommend the Google search results being an argument.
