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.

Once you internalise this pattern, Russian spelling feels more logical.

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.

Beginners often confuse letters that look Latin but aren't: Р = r, Н = n, В = v, С = s.
