Questions & Answers about Наклейку «Хрупкое» прикрепили к коробке, а опись вещей проверили.

Why is наклейку in the accusative case?

Because наклейку is the direct object of прикрепили — it is the thing that was attached.

• dictionary form: наклейка
• accusative singular: наклейку

This is a very common pattern in Russian:

• прикрепили наклейку = attached the sticker
• проверили опись = checked the inventory/list

For feminine nouns ending in -а, the accusative singular usually changes to -у.

Why is Хрупкое neuter?

Хрупкое is the neuter singular form of the adjective хрупкий = fragile.

Here it is being used as the actual text written on the sticker, like a label saying Fragile. Russian often uses an adjective by itself this way on labels, signs, and notices.

So наклейку Хрупкое means something like:

• a sticker with the word Fragile on it

It is neuter because this kind of label text is often treated as a standalone word or as something like an omitted neuter noun such as слово or предупреждение in the background. In practice, learners usually just understand it as “the sticker reading Fragile.”

Why is Хрупкое put in quotation marks?
