Dear friends 👋, with this post you will learn how the unstressed «е» in feminine nouns is replaced by its stressed variant «ё» due to the shift of stress.

WORDS: блесна́ – a fishing lure; верста́ – a verst (an old Russian unit of distance equal to 1.067 kilometers / 0.6629 mile), or a verst post / milestone / bean pole; весна́ – a spring; десна́ – gingiva; жена́ – a wife; звезда́ – a star; метла́ – a broom; пчела́ – a bee; сестра́ – a sister; слеза́ – a tear; щека́ – a cheek

Thank you.
