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.

This rule affects word endings constantly.

• 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.

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