It would be really helpful if the gender of a word would be displayed when hovering over it. Like in the German course.
Мой, моя, моё, are first person, possessive, singular pronouns in the nominative (but not necessarily exclusively the nominative) case, corresponding to masculine, feminine, and neuter genders respectively. Я, мне, меня, are first person, singular pronouns, corresponding, but not limited, to the nominative, prepositional, and genitive cases respectively.
When to use them is best answered with tables, so here they are:
Pronoun tables - http://www.russianlessons.net/grammar/pronouns.php
A table of the cases and their uses - http://www.alphadictionary.com/rusgrammar/casefunc.html
O/c, the gender of the noun determines the gender of the possessive pronoun to which it belongs.
U use them depending on gender of noun. Moë for neuter moя for female мой for male мои for plural of either gender These mostly apply to the nominative case only
@Mel (it won't let me reply to your post) I don't know declension of neuter nouns yet, but that might be it?
Is Масло used for oil or fat in general as well? I was watching a Russian cooking show, and I could have sworn they were using this word with a more general meaning.
I put моё масла 3 times then on fourth time it took it as right answer.......
