== Grammar == === Noun declension === {{Missing information|section|Lemko and Subcarpathian declension|date=January 2022}} [[Declension]] in Rusyn is based on grammatical [[Grammatical number|number]], [[Grammatical gender|gender]], and [[Grammatical case|case]]. [[English plurals|Like English]], only two types of grammatical number are expressed: singular and [[plural]]. And like other Slavic languages, Rusyn has three grammatical genders: feminine, masculine, and neuter. Furthermore, like those languages, Rusyn uses a seven-case system of [[nominative]], [[accusative]], [[genitive]], [[dative]], [[locative]], [[instrumental case|instrumental]], and [[vocative]] cases.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=43-44}} One final point of note is that the masculine gender (and only the masculine gender) is further subdivided into [[animacy|animate and inanimate]] types. While there are no [[suffix]]es ''specific'' to animacy, declension between the two differs in that for ''animates'', the form of the accusative case copies that of the genitive case.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=43-44}} ==== Grammatical cases ==== As mentioned in the preceding section, Rusyn cases are similar to those of other Slavic languages. A ''very general'' summary of usage is given in the table below, though proper usage depends on a particular situation, prepositions, and verbs used, as well as other extenuating circumstances.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=43-44}} {| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" |+Cases in Rusyn |- !scope="col"| Full name (Rusyn) !scope="col"| Case !scope="col"| ''General'' Usage |- | номінатів !scope="row"|[[nominative case|nominative]] | Subjects |- | акузатів !scope="row"|[[accusative case|accusative]] | Direct objects |- | ґенітів !scope="row"|[[genitive case|genitive]] | Possession or belonging (i.e. "of" or [[English possessive | English possessive suffix ''-'s'']]) |- | датів !scope="row"|[[dative case|dative]] | Indirect objects (i.e. "to" or "for") |- | локал !scope="row"|[[locative case|locative]] | Concerning location.

Based on ''how'' they decline, nouns can be grouped into one of four "types". * '''Type I''': feminine nouns ending in '''-а'''/'''-я''' in the nominative singular * '''Type II''': ** masculine nouns ending in a consonant in the nominative singular ** neuter and masculine nouns ending in a consonant or '''-o''' in the nominative singular ** neuters ending in '''-e''' or '''-а'''/'''-я''' in the nominative singular * '''Type III''': ** feminine nouns ending in a ''paired consonant'' ('''-cons.+ь'''),{{efn-lr|name=pairing}} an ''unpaired [[palato-alveolar consonant]]'' ('''-ш''', '''-ч''', '''щ''', '''-ж''', or '''-дж'''),{{efn-lr|name=hushers|Pugh refers to these collectively as "hushers".}} or '''-ов''' in the nominative singular ** the feminine noun {{langx|rue|label=none|translit-std=BGN/PCGN|мати|maty|mother}} * '''Type IV''': neuter nouns ending in '''-а'''/'''-я''' in the nominative singular ==== Declension type I: feminines ending in -а/-я ==== This type consists of grammatically feminine nouns ending in '''-а''' (hard) or '''-я''' ([[Palatalization (phonetics)#Slavic languages|soft]]) in the nominative case. The table below includes four examples of such nouns. The first two represent the ''archetypal'' feminine paradigm, while the second two represent a "common" or "two-fold gender" paradigm. It is important to note that this second paradigm has atypical dative, locative, and instrumental singular suffixes which are actually representative of the male/neuter declension paradigm (visible later in this article). According to Pugh, this peculiarity developed as a result of the societal roles of "judge" and "elder" being traditionally patriarchal. This phenomenon is in contrast to grammatically feminine nouns of ambiguous gender where a particular role was not historically male-oriented, such as {{langx|rue|label=none|сирота|orphan}}. In these cases, the typical feminine paradigm is ''maintained''.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=43-49}} {|class=wikitable |+Feminine Nouns Ending in -а/-я in the Nominative Singular{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=43-49}} |- !colspan="2" rowspan="2"| !colspan="2"|Archetypal Feminine !colspan="2"|Common/Two-Fold Gender |- !

Depending on the noun, the number of distinct forms may number from as few as 3 to as many as 6. For singular animate nouns, there is a single form for the accusative and genitive cases, as well as a single form for the dative and locative cases. Similarly, singular inanimate nouns share a form for nominative and locative cases.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=50}} {|class=wikitable |+Masculine Nouns Ending in a Consonant in the Nominative Singular{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=50}} |- !colspan="2" rowspan="2"| !colspan="2"|Animate !colspan="2"|Inanimate |- !|Hard !|Soft !|Hard !|Soft |- !rowspan="7"|Sg. !Nominative |сын |учітель |rowspan="2"|стіл |rowspan="2"|край |- !Accusative |rowspan="2"|сын'''а''' |rowspan="2"|учітел'''я''' |- !Genitive{{efn | group=a | For this declension, nouns may decline with either '''-u''' or '''-a'''.

The paradigm can be identified by the following suffixes in the nominative singular case: a ''paired consonant'' ('''-cons.+ь'''),{{efn-lr|name=pairing|The terms "paired" and "unpaired" refer to a consonant's use with the ''soft sign'', the letter '''ь'''. Consonants that can be palatalized with the soft sign are referred to as "paired consonants", as in the case of '''н/нь'''. Others that are inherently hard or soft and never appear with '''ь''' are referred to as "unpaired consonants", as in the cases of the letters '''к''' or '''ч'''.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=33}}}} an ''unpaired [[palato-alveolar consonant]]'' ('''-ш''', '''-ч''', '''щ''', '''-ж''', or '''-дж'''),{{efn-lr|name=hushers}} or the suffix '''-ов'''.

It entirely consists of grammatically neuter nouns. This paradigm can be identified by the '''-a''' suffix in the nominative and accusative cases, as well as the appearance of the [[affix]] '''-t-''' between the stem and suffix in other cases. There is ''no variation'' in this paradigm: all nouns decline in an identical manner.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=60}} Type IV is predominantly made up of words referring to the young of animals and humans. However, this should not be taken as a hard rule as some nouns which ''historically'' declined differently (e.g. {{langx|rue|label=none|translit-std=BGN/PCGN|вымя|vŷmja|udder}} and {{langx|rue|label=none|translit-std=BGN/PCGN|горня|hornja|cup, mug}}), now decline according to this paradigm instead.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=60}} {|class=wikitable |+Neuter Nouns Ending in '''-a''' and '''-я'''{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=60-61}} |- !colspan="2" rowspan="1"| !colspan="5" rowspan="1"| |- !rowspan="6"|Sg. !

The [[infinitive]] verb forms are often ambiguous and as such, there is no ''general'' system that allows an infinitive to be identified as either Type I or Type II. Some infinitive suffixes, however, are unique to at least Type I, i.e. '''-ути''', '''-овати''', '''-нути''', etc. In the following sections, the stem-markers are given in Latin as Cyrillic often obscures the markers in the conjugated forms.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=110}} ==== Conjugation type I ==== '''Type I''' may be divided into several sub-types, the most notable of which are the ''vowel+j'' stem-markers: '''-uj-''', '''-ij-''', '''-yj-''', etc. It is important to remember that in the infinitive and some conjugations that the consonant, '''-j-''', is truncated when followed by another consonant, e.g. ''бісїдув-aj-ty → бісїдув-a-ty''.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=111}} ===== UJ stem markers ===== The '''-uj-''' set of verbs can be divided into two groups based the presence of the suffixal markers '''-ova-''' or '''-uj-''' in the infinitive. The former group representing the overwhelming majority of verbs in this type.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=111}} {|class=wikitable |+Conjugation of Verbs with -UJ- Stem Marker{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=111-113}} |- !colspan="2" rowspan="2"| !colspan="2"|-OVA- !colspan="1"|-UTY |- !|Hard !!

In the Prešov Rusyn community, the -A(J)- type described below is the predominant conjugational pattern. However, in regions further east within Slovakia and in other Rusyn communities, a full-fledged "AJ" type conjugation exists, resembling the patterns found in the rest of East Slavic. In the Prešov Rusyn community, the -A(J)- conjugation is recommended for the written system, while the -AJ- type is limited and occurs primarily with specific verb stems like "maj-", "znaj-", and "staj-". Both forms may coexist in speech and writing, but the "A(J)" type is more prevalent in the Prešov dialect. In Lemko Rusyn, the conjugation system generally agrees with that of Prešov Rusyn; a fully-fledged -AJ- conjugation is limited to the third person singular of only three verb stems: "мати", "знати", and "познати". In Subcarpathian Rusyn, however, the -AJ- type is predominant, and the element "aj" can appear in all persons in the non-past paradigm.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=118-120}} ====== A(J) stem markers ====== While this stem type follows a conjugation structure similar to other East Slavic languages, it is completely unique in that -j- (normally in the form of suffixes -ю, -єш, -є, -єме, -єте, -ют) is truncated—except for in the 3rd person plural. The absence of the connector vowel -e- in this conjugation type is a distinctive feature, likely influenced by West Slavic languages. The conjugational pattern is similar to other Slavic languages, particularly Slovak.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=116-118}} This stem type also includes verbs with the suffix -ывати, a suffix which is often found in imperfective verbs.{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=117}} {|class=wikitable |+Conjugation of Verbs with -A(J)- Stem Marker{{sfn|Pugh|2009|p=116-118}} |- !colspan="2" rowspan="1"| !colspan="2"|-ATY !colspan="1"|-ЫVA- |- !colspan="2" | Infinitive | чі́т'''а́ти''' || м'''а́ти''' || одкр'''ыва́'''ти |- !rowspan="3"|Sg. !1st Person (I) | чі́там || мам || одкры́вам |- !2nd Person (you) | чі́таш || маш || одкры́ваш |- !3rd Person (he, she, it) | чі́тать || мать || одкры́вать |- <!--------- PLURAL ------------> !rowspan="3"|Pl. !1st Person (we) | чіта́ме || ма́ме || одкрыва́ме |- !2nd Person (you all) | чіта́те || ма́те || одкрыва́те |- !3rd Person (they) | чіта́ють || ма́ють || одкрыва́ють |- !colspan="2"|English | to read | to have | to discover |} ===== AVA stem markers ===== This conjugation type is marked by the presence of -AVA- in the infinitive. The conjugation scheme for these verbs vacillates depending on local dialect: sometimes being conjugated as if they were of the previously-discussed -AJ- stem type.
