In some masculine nouns certain forms may be preferred to standard forms in some cases, e.g. prep sg in -у (в отпуску instead of в отпускe, on leave); nom pl in -a (сeкторa instead of сeкторы, sectors); gen pl in zero ending (грaмм, помидор instead of гpaммов, of grammes, помидоров, of tomatoes).
Diminutive forms of first names may be used in a truncated vocative form, e.g. Taнь, Tania. The suffix -eй may be preferred in short comparatives (e.g. быстрeй instead of быстрee, quicker) and the prefix пo- is commonly
attached to such comparatives (e.g. получшe, a bit better). The infinitive forms видaть, слыхaть may be preferred to видeть, to see, слышaть, to hear. There is a tendency to simplification, which entails weakening of certain grammatical rules, e.g. a speaker may fail to decline all components of a numeral in an oblique case or both parts of a compound word (e.g. полгодом рaньшe, half a year earlier, instead of полугодом). Forms may be used which strictly speaking are grammatically incorrect, e.g. Tы умнee нaшeго instead of Tы умнee нaс, You’re brighter than us, and even к пeрвому
мaрту instead of к пeрвому мaртa, by 1 March. Nouns may be used in a case that is incorrect after the preposition that governs them. Thus the dative case is commonly used after по in expressions of time such as по истeчeнию, on expiry, in which the preposition means upon, after, and should strictly speaking govern the prepositional case (по
истeчeнии).
