This is just a quick question.
How would you change the ending(s) of the city name Петропавловск-Камчатский for use with the preposition в? Would both words in the name be affected? Or only the last one? Or maybe only the first? I've looked but can't seem to find this information anywhere. Москва => в Москве Петропавловск-Камчатский => в Петропавловске-Камчатские?

где? в Петропавлоске-Камчатском
other cities that might be confusing: в Нижнем Новгороде, в Комсомольске-на-Амуре, в Ростове-на-Дону, в Франкфурте-на-Майне, в Санкт-Петербурге, в Улан-Удэ, в Нью-Йорке For anyone else who's interested: here's more info on the subject than you'll ever need.

you use the preposition "в" in two declination cases.
1. acusative "where?" "куда?" where're you going? I'm going to Петропавловск-Камчатский. Я еду в Петропавловск-Камчатский. - no change 2. local "where?" "где?" where're you? I'm in Петропавловске-Камчатском. Я в Петропавловске-Камчатском. - changes but in the spoken language you can hear also "Я в Петропавловск-Камчатске" for the local case and "Я еду в Петропавловск-Камчатск." for the acusative, and this is what you will relly hear from people. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
