Expressions of frequency (каждый)

To express how often something happens, use the word каждый (every) followed by a time word. This phrase is placed in the Accusative case with no prepositions.

  • Masculine: Inanimate time words like день (day) and месяц (month) do not change in the Accusative case, so каждый stays exactly as it is.
  • Feminine: For feminine time words like неделя (week), the modifier changes to каждую and the noun changes its ending to -ю (неделю).

At the Hair Salon

Discussing your personal care routine involves salon words like парикмахер (hairdresser) and the verb стричь (to cut hair).

Remember that feminine direct objects receiving an action—like a расчёска (comb)—also change their endings in the Accusative case.

Watch out for the word for shampoo. Although it ends in a soft sign (-ь), шампунь is a masculine noun, so it does not change its ending when used as an inanimate direct object.
