Который is a relative pronoun which is used after nouns to mean who, which, that.
(А) Russian uses the adjective который as a linking word between parts of the sentence to indicate who, which, that.For example: The young man is skiing. The young man is thе former world champion.
The young man who is skiing is the former world champion.
Молодой человек, который катается на лыжах, экс-чемпион мира.
Который refers to both people and things:
Машина, которую он купил, очень маленькая.
The car which he has bought is very small.
Note that the phrase including который is enclosed by commas.
(B) Который is an adjective, so it has masculine, feminine, neuter and plural endings for all six cases. In order to work out the gender and the number, first look at the noun which it follows; in order to work out the case, work out what ‘job’ который is doing in the second part of the sentence. For example, is it a subject or an object?:
Актриса, которая (subject) играет роль Ольги, очень талантливая.
The actress who is playing the role of Olga is very talented.
Актриса, которую (object, therefore accusative) вы любите, очень талантливая.
The actress whom you like is very talented.
(С) If the который part of the sentence involves a preposition, that preposition must always come in front of который.
Офис, в котором мы работаем, не очень большой.
The оffice in which (prepositional case after в) we work is not very big.
Друзья, с которыми мы отдыхали, живут в Лондоне.
The friends with whom (instrumental case after c) we were on holiday live in London.
NB Который is only for use after nouns; to say 'that'after verbs , don't use который, use что:
Я думаю, что они приедут.
I think that they will come.
