Do you decline predicative adjectives? I am a bit confused because of these two sentences which I think both are correct: Девушка красивая. Это здание - большой. First adjectives is declined while the second isn't
The second sentence should actually be Это здание - большое - the adjective does need to agree with the subject. One type of adjective (short adjectives - краткие прилагательные) is used *only* in the predicate and agrees in gender & number with the subject, but doesn't change for case; there's a brief introduction to them here: ua-cam.com/video/0A1qZ4tUWI4/v-deo.html
Fantastic video as always! However, there's something that quite bothers me and I just can't figure out.... To my understanding nominative masculine singular adjectives to genitive masculine singular adjectives are: ый/ого ий/его ой/ого But in the adjective Маленький, if you were to use it in the genitive case it'll be маленького as oppose to Маленьк[его]❎ Why is that 🤔
Look again at 1:07 and think about how we have русская, русское... but русский - the feminine and neuter forms show us that the stem ends in a hard consonant; the reason for the -ий ending is the 7-letter rule (и instead of ы after к г х ш щ ч ж ц). So we use -ого for the genitive ending for the same reason we had русская/русское. Associating -ий with -его works for stems ending in an intrinsically soft consonant (синий, синяя, синее, gen. синего, синей, etc), but sometimes an ending is spelled -ий (or -ее) just because of a spelling rule.

There are about 40 adjectives with a soft stem that end in -ний, and these will always use spellings that show the softness of that /n'/ (последний, последняя, последнее, etc). Most of them are derived from words for time (летний 'summer,' вчерашняя газета 'yesterday's paper'). Otherwise (with very few exceptions), if you see a nom. sing. masculine form in -ий, it's likely just spelled that way because of the 7-letter spelling rule, but the stem is basically hard: so русский but русская/русское, хороший but хорошая/хорошее (5-letter rule for the neuter there!), etc.
Another very useful video from you , Thank you once again . I have two request . 1) Can I know your name ? 2) I still insist that you post a video about dative case adjective ending . Best of Luck and keep the good work .
Endings like русская, русское show us that it's essentially a hard stem, but we use -ий as the masculine ending because of the 7-letter rule: use и instead of ы after к, г, х, ш, щ, ч, ж. You'll see other adjectives that have this pattern too, for example долгий, тихий, мягкий...

how can differentiate hard and soft steam adjectives
There are about 40 adjectives with a soft stem that end in -ний, and these will always use spellings that show the softness of that /n'/ (последний, последняя, последнее, etc).

I got your name Dr. Curtis Ford Jr. It appeared so quickly in the end , easy to ignore . But do fulfil my second request.
This video helped me ALOT like So much! Although i want to learn how the spelling works like русский.
