Cases show the roles that nouns play in a sentence. There are six cases in Russian and the endings of nouns change according to their case. The nominative case shows us who or what is performing the action of a verb (the subiect); singular means there's only one actor/subject.
Russian words are divided randomly into three groups, known as “genders”. These groups are masculine, feminine and neuter. Russian has no direct article (the) or indirect article (а), so we have to look at the ending of each word to determine its gender.
