Questions & Answers about В спальне висят белые жалюзи.

Why is it в спальне and not в спальня?

Because after в when it means in a place, Russian normally uses the prepositional case.

• спальня = bedroom
• в спальне = in the bedroom

So спальня changes to спальне because the sentence is talking about location, not motion.

Compare:

• в спальне = in the bedroom
• в спальню = into the bedroom

Why does в спальне mean in the bedroom, not into the bedroom?

Russian uses different cases to show the difference:

• в + prepositional = location: in
• в + accusative = motion toward/into

Here we have спальне, which is prepositional, so it means the blinds are already located there.

• В спальне висят жалюзи. = The blinds are in the bedroom / hanging in the bedroom.
• Я иду в спальню. = I am going into the bedroom.
