Questions & Answers about Я иду в кабинет шесть.
Why does the number шесть come after the noun, and why not use the word for 'sixth'?
When identifying a specific room, office, or vehicle, Russians usually put the normal counting number (cardinal number) directly after the noun. So кабинет шесть is the most natural way to say 'office six', matching the English word order.
Why use иду instead of хожу for 'I am going'?
You use иду when you are walking somewhere right now, in one specific direction. If you were talking about going to this office every day as a habit, or walking back and forth, you would use хожу.
Why doesn't the word кабинет change its ending after the preposition в?
The preposition в (to/into) requires the Accusative case to show your destination. But because кабинет is a masculine noun for a non-living thing, its Accusative form looks exactly the same as its basic dictionary form.
How do you pronounce the soft sign (ь) at the end of шесть?
The soft sign (ь) does not make its own sound, but it softens the т before it. To make a soft т, press the flat middle part of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. It sounds almost like there is a tiny 'y' mixed in with the 't'.
