Questions & Answers about Касса в магазине.
Why does магазине end in -е instead of just being магазин?
It is in the Prepositional case, which we use to talk about locations (where something is). The basic dictionary word is магазин (shop). To say "in the shop", we use the preposition в (in) and add the ending -е to the noun.
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
Russian usually leaves out the verb "to be" (am, is, are) in the present tense. You simply say "Касса в магазине" (literally "Till in shop"), and the word "is" is automatically understood.
I've seen касса used for "ticket office" before. How do I know it means "till" here?
