Questions & Answers about После окончания университета, двадцать пятого июня две тысячи шестнадцатого года, она переехала в столицу.
In двадцать пятого июня, why is only пятого in the genitive case while двадцать stays in the nominative?
When expressing specific dates, Russian uses the genitive case for the ordinal number (the word equivalent to a "th" number in English). In compound numbers like 25, only the last word becomes an ordinal number and changes case. So, двадцать stays as a normal cardinal number, and пятого takes the genitive ending.
How do we form the year in две тысячи шестнадцатого года? Do all the words change?
Just like with the day of the month, only the very last word of the year acts as an ordinal number (literally, "the sixteenth year"). That last word, шестнадцатого, and the word года (year) are put into the genitive case. The thousands part, две тысячи, stays as a normal cardinal number and does not change case.
Why are both окончания and университета in the genitive case right next to each other?
The preposition После (after) always requires the genitive case, which is why we use окончания (from окончание, meaning graduation or completion). Then, университета is also in the genitive to show possession or relation, acting like the English word "of" — literally translating to "after the completion of the university."
