Usage notes

два and две , when in the nominative case or accusative case, even in compounds (22, 32, 42, 102, etc.), govern the genitive of the noun.

  • In the nominative case, all nouns become genitive singular. In the accusative case, animate nouns become genitive plural and inanimate nouns remain in genitive singular.
  • The reason behind the genitive singular here is that in Old Russian два governed the dual number, and the old nominative dual form was the same as the masculine genitive singular. When the dual number was lost in Russian, the form was reanalyzed as the genitive singular. This was extended to include the numbers три (tri) and четы́ре (četýre), and eventually it was applied by analogy to feminine nouns as well.
  • While the noun is in the genitive singular following два or две, an intervening adjective or adjectival participle will be in the genitive plural or nominative plural
    • If два is in nominative case, the adjective will be nominative plural when the noun is feminine
    • If два is in accusative case, the adjective will be accusative plural (the same as the nominative plural) only if the noun is feminine inanimate.
    • Another way of seeing this is:
  • Nominative feminine is две + nominative plural adjective + genitive singular noun
  • Nominative masculine is два + genitive plural adjective + genitive singular noun.
  • Cases other than nominative and accusative (genitive, dative, instrumental, and prepositional) use plural forms, and agree in number and case with the noun.
  • Accusative animate is the same as the genitive, and accusative inanimate is the same as the nominative.
