Abstract: In this article the main changes in the morphological norms of the modern Ukrainian literary language fixed in the part “Orthography of endings of conjugated words” of “Ukrainian orthography” of 2019 are distinguished and characterized. Depending on the degree of importance of these changes, we divide them into directly changes — new rules that were not in the previous edition “Ukrainian orthography” of 1993, and corrections — clarification, reformulation of the content of the rules present in the previous version of the orthography code, expansion of illustrative material, etc. The relationship between the morphological changes and corrections proposed in the “Ukrainian orthography” of 2019 with the norms of the “Ukrainian orthography” of 1928 is established. It was clarified that the introduction of changes to the “Ukrainian orthography” of 2019 is not an archaizing of the Ukrainian language, but the return of nationally marked grammatical features, which are based on its historically formed features of development, however as a result of extra-linguistic, mainly ideological, factors during the totalitarian era were forced out to the periphery or and quite removed from everyday life for to bring Ukrainian orthography closer to Russian. We also focused attention on those morphological problems that were not resolved edition of “Ukrainian orthography” in the 2019. Corrected and detailed rules for the use of case endings of nouns are proposed.

Keywords: morphological norm, noun, case, ending, “Ukrainian orthography”, language practice.
