Russian Morphology Diagnostic

Though this was written for our RUSS2102 review course, anyone's free to take it. Just don't enter your name!

The quiz is on the basics of morphology: using the form of a word to predict its part of speech or its gender, and matching up words that share a root.

Morphology in Context

Here's a quiz on morphology, using context. You'll be given partial Russian sentences and their translations. You'll use your knowledge of prefixes and suffixes - and the context! - to determine which would be the best fit.

Take the quiz.

Making new words with suffixes

Here's another matching exercise on suffixes. In this one, you're given a root and a meaning for a new word to be made from it (for instance, дум: thoughtful) and you pick the right suffix (which would be чив, in this case).

Suffixes in Jeopardy

Here's a Jeopardy!-style game for Russian suffixes. It covers 10 each noun and adjective suffixes, and five verbal ones. Although it was designed as a review for our Morphology/Word-Building Course, there's no reason that anyone else couldn't use it.
