The 7-letter rule is a core Russian spelling principle: after г, к, х, ж, ш, щ, and ч, you must write и instead of ы.

You'll encounter this rule in plurals and adjectives.

• When forming plurals after these seven letters, use -и: книга → книги.
• Adjectives: тихий (quiet) ends in -ий, not -ый, because х precedes the ending.
• The pronunciation stays the same after ж, ш, щ, ч, but spelling always uses и.

Learning this rule early helps you avoid common spelling mistakes in Russian.

The Russian alphabet contains 33 Cyrillic letters: 21 consonants, 10 vowels, and 2 special signs.

The structure works like this:

• Consonants (21): many resemble English letters (м, т, к) while others are unique (ж, ш, щ, ц).
• 10 vowels: а, у, о, ы, э (hard vowels) and я, ю, ё, и, е (soft vowels). Each hard vowel has a soft counterpart.
• 2 signs: ь (soft sign) and ъ (hard sign) produce no sound alone but modify pronunciation.

Some letters look identical to Latin ones but sound different: Р is "r", С is "s", Н is "n".
