Questions & Answers about В багетной мастерской есть постеры.
Why does мастерская become мастерской after в?
Because в means in here, and when в shows a static location, Russian normally uses the prepositional case.
- dictionary form: мастерская
- after в for location: в мастерской
So в багетной мастерской means in the frame workshop / framing workshop.
A useful contrast:
- в мастерской = in the workshop
- в мастерскую = into the workshop (motion toward it)
So the case changes depending on whether you mean location or movement.
Why is багетной also changed?
Because багетной is an adjective modifying мастерской, and in Russian adjectives must agree with the nouns they describe.
Here:
- мастерская is feminine singular
- after в with location, it becomes мастерской in the prepositional case
- the adjective must match it, so багетная becomes багетной
So:
- багетная мастерская = a framing workshop
- в багетной мастерской = in a framing workshop
Both words change together.
