"James, do you have any luggage?"

I. "I have..."

To say, "I have...," we use the construction in Russian. The noun that follows
doesn't change.

For example:

1. .
"I have a son."

2. .
"I have a car."

3. .
"I have an invitation."

II. "Do you have..."

To ask, "do you have...," we use if the situation is informal, and if


it's formal.

For example:

1. ?
"Do you have a cigarette?" (informal)

2. ?
"Do you have a computer?" (formal)

Note: The noun after doesn't change.

III. "I don't have..."

To say, "I don't have...," we use . The noun following , changes. It has

2. .

Genitive Case Nouns

and end in -a, so they are feminine nouns. For feminine nouns in the
genitive case, - becomes - or -. The ending is - if the last consonant is -, -, -, -, -, -,
or -. The ending is - for the other feminine nouns.

For example:

1. .
"I don't have a computer."

2. .
"I don't have a calendar."

and are masculine nouns. For masculine nouns in the genitive case, we
add - or - at the end of the word. The ending is - when the noun ends in - or - (the soft
sign). The ending is - for the other masculine nouns.

Some examples are:

1. .
"I don't have a letter."

2. .
"I don't have an invitation."

Travel Tip: Did You Bring Gifts?

If you come to Russia to visit some friends, it's polite to bring some gifts for everyone
including the members of their family, especially if you're going to stay with them. The gifts
don't have to be expensive but they show that you care, and it's very important for Russians.
Also, be prepared for them to give you some gifts when you leave.
