Is there a list of Russian nouns ending in -ь?

It's impossible to provide a comprehensive list of Russian nouns ending in -ь because there are too many! This ending is very common and applies to many different types of nouns.

However, I can give you some examples and explain the general rules:

Nouns ending in -ь usually fall into these categories:

* Masculine nouns: These nouns often denote people, animals, objects, or concepts.

* Feminine nouns: These nouns often denote objects, concepts, or living things.

Examples:

* Masculine:

* мальчик (boy)

* друг (friend)

* стол (table)

* ключ (key)

* Feminine:

* книга (book)

* мышь (mouse)

* ночь (night)

* тетрадь (notebook)

Important Notes:

* The ending -ь doesn't always indicate the noun's gender. There are some masculine nouns that end in -ь, but their gender is determined by other grammatical features, like the ending of the adjective describing them. For example, "день" (day) is masculine but ends in -ь.

* There are also some nouns that end in -ь but belong to the neuter gender. However, these are less common.

* The ending -ь often indicates the plural form of a noun, especially for masculine nouns.

Instead of a list, I recommend focusing on learning the grammatical rules and recognizing patterns. This will help you understand which nouns end in -ь and why.

Let me know if you have any other questions about Russian grammar.
