Russian spelling rule #1 states that ы never follows г, к, х, ж, ш, щ, or ч, and и takes its place.

You'll encounter this rule in plurals and adjectives.

• Plurals: книга becomes книги (not книгы), because the stem ends in г.
• Adjectives: тихий (quiet) ends in -ий, not -ый, because х precedes the ending.
• Even when и sounds like ы (after ж, ш, щ, ч), you still write и.

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