How is the dative case used in Russian and how is it formed?
I have just started learning Russian and starting to have to use other forms of the nouns. I would be very grateful if someone could explain how to use and conjugate the dative form.

How is the dative case used in Russian and how is it formed?

Answer

Dative is a Russian grammar case that expresses action is addressed or referred to the object you are speaking about. Here I'll try to explain the order of forming it.

Mother gave а bottle of water to (WHOM?) her child.
Мама дала бутылку воды (КОМУ?) своему ребенку.

Here the word "Ребенок" was used in a dative case "РебенКУ", because the action that mother did ("GAVE") was addressed to some object ("CHILD").
In dictionaries all the words go in Nominative. So, to make a dative form of it, you should learn the rules of changing the word's ending according to its gender and form (singular or plural). It's a difficult thing to explain in two words.
Hope my answer was helpful.
