{{main|Russian declension}}

An example of a [[Russian language|Russian]] case inflection is given below (with explicit stress marks), using the singular forms of the Russian term for "sailor", which belongs to Russian's first declension class.
* {{wikt-lang|ru|моря́к}} ([[nominative case|nominative]]) "[the] sailor" [as a subject] (e.g. {{lang|ru|Там стоит моряк}}: The sailor is standing there)
* {{lang|ru|моряк'''á'''}} ([[genitive case|genitive]]) "[the] sailor's / [of the] sailor" (e.g. {{lang|ru|Сын моряка — художник}}: The sailor's son is an artist)
* {{lang|ru|моряк'''у́'''}} ([[dative case|dative]]) "[to/for the] sailor" [as an indirect object] (e.g. {{lang|ru|Моряку подарили подарок}}: (They/Someone) gave a present to the sailor)
* {{lang|ru|моряк'''á'''}} ([[accusative case|accusative]]) "[the] sailor" [as a direct object] (e.g. {{lang|ru|Вижу моряка}}: (I) see the sailor)
* {{lang|ru|моряк'''о́м'''}} ([[Instrumental case|instrumental]]) "[with/by the] sailor" (e.g. {{lang|ru|Дружу с моряком}}: (I) have a friendship with the sailor)
* {{lang|ru|о/на/в моряк'''е́'''}} ([[Prepositional case|prepositional]]) "[about/on/in the] sailor" (e.g. {{lang|ru|Думаю о моряке}}: (I) think about the sailor)

Up to ten additional cases are identified by linguists, although today all of them are either incomplete (do not apply to all nouns or do not form full word paradigm with all combinations of gender and number) or degenerate (appear identical to one of the main six cases). The most recognized additional cases are locative ({{lang|ru|в лесу́, на мосту́, в слеза́х}}), partitive ({{lang|ru|ча́ю, са́хару, песку́}}), and two forms of vocative — old ({{lang|ru|Го́споди, Бо́же, о́тче}}) and neo-vocative ({{lang|ru|Маш, пап, ребя́т}}). Sometimes, so called count-form (for some countable nouns after numerals) is considered to be a sub-case.
