Russian grammar - Prepositional Case with на and дом |
|||
|
|||
There are certain places that only ever take the preposition на in the prepositional case, even if we say 'in' in English. Also the word дом (house, home) has a special prepositional form: дома (at home) and is used without a preposition. It is best translated as 'in one's own home'. |
