Russische

Russische is a grammatical form used in several languages to indicate relation to Russia. It is not a standalone noun; rather, it functions as an inflected adjective describing nouns associated with Russia, such as language, culture, people, or objects.

In German, the base adjective is russisch. The ending russische appears in feminine singular and in all plural forms under standard declension, depending on the article and case. Examples include die russische Sprache (the Russian language) or die russischen Schriftsteller (the Russian writers). The form changes with the grammatical context of the sentence.

In Dutch, Russische is the attributive form used before nouns to denote Russian origin. It occurs in common phrases such as de Russische taal (the Russian language) and de Russische cultuur (the Russian culture). Dutch capitalization rules apply to adjectives, with the normal convention that capitalization is not used for ordinary adjectives unless they begin a sentence or are part of a proper name.

Across other languages with related roots, cognate forms exist, but exact spelling and grammar differ by language. The term is primarily linguistic and encyclopedic, used to describe language, culture, people, or objects connected to Russia in neutral, descriptive contexts.
