Questions & Answers about В салоне самолёта было тихо, и через иллюминатор было видно море.
Why is самолёта in the genitive case in в салоне самолёта?
Because салон самолёта means the cabin/interior of the airplane.
Russian often uses the pattern:
- X + genitive noun = X of Y
So:
- салон = cabin/interior
- самолёта = of the airplane
That gives в салоне самолёта = in the airplane cabin.
What does салон mean here? Is it the same as English salon?
Not really. In this sentence, салон means the passenger cabin/interior of a vehicle, especially a plane.
So в салоне самолёта means:
- in the cabin of the airplane
- inside the passenger area of the plane
It does not mean a beauty salon here.
Why is было used with тихо?
