~~Case was~~ mostly lost, with some relics.

Original Proto-Slavic case forms were mostly lost, with some relics.

Possessive adjectives, equivalent to -'s in English, are formed with the suffixes ''-vo'' (added after the final vowel of masculine nouns ending in ''-o'' or ''-e'') and ''-ino'' (added to non-masculine nouns, replacing the final vowel). When formed from a plural noun, the suffix is ''-sevo'' (added after the final vowel of the plural).

The plural is formed by changing the final vowel to ''-i'' (masculine) or ''-e'' (feminine). An emphatic plural can be formed with the suffix ''-s'' added after the vowel of the regular plural.

The plural is traditionally formed by changing the final vowel to ''-i'' (masculine) or ''-e'' (feminine). An emphatic plural can be formed with the suffix ''-s'' added after the vowel of the regular plural. However, the emphatic plural is often used in vernacular as the default plural.

The oblique is formed by adding a final nasal (''-n'') to a noun in the singular or plural.

The approximative (meaning "around X", "in the place of X") is formed by adding a final (''-h'') to the plural form of the noun.
