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 (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 (), шампунь is a masculine noun, so it does not change its ending when used as an inanimate direct object.
