Булочная находится за углом.

Булочная usually means bakery or bread shop.

A useful nuance:

• traditionally, it often means a shop that sells bread and baked goods
• it does not always emphasize the place where the bread is actually baked

It is a feminine singular noun.

Находится comes from находиться and means is located, is situated, or can be found.

So Булочная находится за углом is a natural way to say that the bakery is located there.

Compared with just Булочная за углом:

• Булочная находится за углом sounds a bit more explicit or neutral
• Булочная за углом is shorter and very natural in everyday speech

Because the full verb is находиться.

In this sentence, you should learn it as a whole verb meaning:

• to be located
• to be situated

The -ся here is not translated separately in English. It is just part of the verb form.

This is useful to compare:

• находить = to find
• находиться = to be located / to be found

Булочная is in the nominative singular.

Why? Because it is the subject of the sentence — the thing that is located somewhere.

You can see that the verb is also singular:

• булочная находится

Literally, за углом means behind the corner.

But idiomatically, in normal English, it is usually translated as:

• around the corner

So although the literal image is different, this is the standard Russian way to express that idea.

Because after за in a location meaning, Russian uses the instrumental case.

The basic noun is:

• угол = corner

Its instrumental singular form is:

• углом

So:

• за углом = around/behind the corner

Similar examples:

• за домом = behind the house
• за школой = behind the school

No. За can take different cases depending on meaning.

A very important contrast is:

• за + instrumental = location
  
  • за углом = around/behind the corner
• за + accusative = movement to a position behind/around something
  
  • зайти за угол = to go around the corner
  • повернуть за угол = to turn around the corner

So in your sentence, there is no movement, only location, which is why углом is instrumental.

Yes, absolutely.

That is very natural Russian.

Russian often leaves out an explicit present-tense to be. So both are possible:

• Булочная находится за углом
• Булочная за углом

The version with находится sounds a bit more complete or formal. The shorter version is common in conversation.

No, Russian word order is fairly flexible.

Булочная находится за углом is a neutral, standard order.

Other possible orders:

• За углом находится булочная — puts more focus on the location
• Булочная за углом — shorter, more conversational

So the word order can change depending on what the speaker wants to emphasize.

They are related, but not always identical.

• булочная = bakery shop / bread shop
• пекарня = bakery as a place where bread is baked

In modern usage, the two can overlap, especially if a place both bakes and sells bread. But булочная can sound more like the storefront/shop, while пекарня more strongly suggests the baking place itself.

Because Russian has no articles.

So булочная can mean:

• a bakery
• the bakery

The exact meaning depends on context.

In a real conversation, if both people already know which bakery is meant, English would often say the bakery, but Russian still just says булочная.
