Six cases
Endings change with a noun's role in the sentence. Lina corrects them in context, not with tables.

Lina plays a waiter at a Moscow café
LinaЗдравствуйте! Что будете заказывать?Zdravstvuyte! Chto budete zakazyvat'?Hello! What would you like to order?
YouЧай с лимоном, пожалуйста.Chay s limonom, pozhaluysta.Tea with lemon, please.
LinaХорошо! Что-нибудь ещё?Khorosho! Chto-nibud' yeshchyo?OK! Anything else?
✅ “с лимоном” = perfect - you used the right case after “с”
💡 Tip: Russian nouns change endings by case: лимон (lemon) becomes с лимоном (with lemon). Lina repeats your sentence with the right ending when one slips.
Why Russian is different
Ты vs вы
Вы with strangers and elders, ты with friends. Older people are often addressed by first name and patronymic: Анна Ивановна.
Real life, not textbook
Cafés, the metro, dachas, family dinners — not just "the cat is on the table."
