The long-adjective system on one grid
Mastery means deriving a form from a grammatical profile, not reciting rows without a sentence.
- Use но́вый as the transparent reference pattern, then map true-soft and spelling-rule families onto the same case architecture.
| Case | Singular M/N; F | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| nominative | но́вый/но́вое; но́вая | но́вые |
| accusative | M animacy; но́вое; но́вую | animacy: но́вые/но́вых |
| genitive | но́вого; но́вой | но́вых |
| prepositional | но́вом; но́вой | но́вых |
| dative | но́вому; но́вой | но́вым |
| instrumental | но́вым; но́вой | но́выми |
