  1. Hello, in what case is обезбо́ливающих in the first example? Thanks. I expect accusative, but the ending is like genitive or prepositional.

    • Learn Russian Words says:

      Hi Anita,

      It’s Genitive. You can use Genitive with купить when it’s followed by uncountable nouns: купи молока, купи хлеба, купи сметаны.
