Usage notes

[edit]

Stress shift to the ending is standard in по месяца́м (po mesjacám) and месяца́ми (mesjacámi, for months), but this has led to occasional non-standard use of the full stress pattern with final stress in all plural forms and an -а ending in the nominative/accusative plural (see го́род (górod)).
