It's not like anyone really care.   1.   Hard sign must be written before ?, ?, ? in next cases:     1) When prefix that ends with consonant is followed by root, Example: ???????, ?????, ??????????????????.     2) In complex words after numerals ????-, ????-, etc. Example: ????????????.     3) In foreign words, after foreign prefixes, like ??-, ??-, ???-, ??-, ?????-, ?????-, ???-, ??-, ???-, ?????-, ???-.   2.   Soft sign must be written inside the word not after prefixes to separate consonant from ?, ?, ?, ? that follows it, it helps when   you say this word. Example: ??????, ????, ??????????.   3.   Soft sign must be written to designate softness of consonant, (excluding ?, ?, see rule 6) in the end of the word. Example: ????,   ????, ????. Also in the middle of the word before hard consonant, example: ????????, ???????, ??????.     To designate softness of consonant that stands before another soft consonant, in next cases:         1) If when you change the word, that second soft consonant becomes hard, but first soft consonant remains soft, example:        ?????? (??????), ??????? (???????), ?????? (???????).     2) To designate softness of ?, example: ??????, ???????, ??????, ???????.     In all other cases before soft consonants, incl. ?, ?, soft sign must not be written, example: ?????, ??????, ???????.   Note: between two ? letters soft sign must not be written. Example: ???????.   4.   Soft signs must also be written in next cases:     1) In complex numerals with both parts declensionable, that develops from numerals ????, ?????, ????, ??????, ??????. Example:      ????????? (??????????, ???????????), ?????????? (???????????, ?????????????), etc.   2) In genitive plural forms, example: ??????, ??????, ????????.   3) In infinitive before -??, and in imperative mood before -?? ? -??, example: ???? - ????????, ??????? - ???????????.   5. Soft sign MUST NOT be written     1) In adjectives with -??- suffix that developed out of nouns that ends with soft sign, example: ???????? (?????)      Note: adjectives ????????????, ???????????, ??????????, ???????????, ????????, ????????, must be written with soft sign.      Also with it must be written in adjectives that developed from Chieniese words that ends with -??, example: ???????????      (???????).   2) In genitive plural forms of nouns that ends with -?? with consonant before it, or that ones that ends with ? and their      diminutive forms that was developed with using of -?- suffix. Examples: ????? - ?????, ?????? - ??????; ????? - ??????,      ????????;   6. After hissing consonants (?, ?, ?, ?) soft sign must be written ONLY in next cases:       1) In the end of nouns of feminine form, in their nominative and accusative forms of singular form. Example: ????, ????, ????.   2) In the ending of verb in second person singular form that is in future or past form, and which ends with ?. Example: ?????? -      ????????, ?????? - ????????, ??????? - ?????????.   3) In the ending of verb in imperative singular form, and even with -?? soft sign is present, example: ???? - ??????, ?????? -      ????????, ???.   4) In the ending of verb in imperative plural form before -??, -????. Example: ?????? - ????????, ???????? - ??????????.   5) In the ending of verb in infinitive, again, -?? is ok. Example: ??????, ????????.   6) In all adverbs that ends with ?, ?, example: ??????, ??????, ?????, and in adverb ???????.   7) In the end of particles ????, ????, ????, ???.     THAT'S ALL FOLKS! I hope that someone will read that.
