As a Russian student, I've learnt that Russian verbs, like in other languages, "govern" certain cases.

For example: Читать —> что? (Accusative or Винительный падеж).

After a little search, I found the verb управлять, and the noun would be управление. Would this be the correct term to refer to this part of speech?

Furthermore, how would I go asking this in Russian?

What's the "управление" for this verb?

  • Управл_е_ние would be correct.

    Управление is a "function" or property of verb, not a part of speech.

    Yep, I just found that, when googled "управление" w/o specifying language.

Yes, управление is the correct term.

The question would translate as Каково управление этого глагола?

  • @Alenanno: which part? Yes, управление is a correct term for putting an object into a certain case.

    @Alenanno: I should warn you, however, that AFAIK this term is not included in the school curriculum. So, an average native speaker might have no idea what you're asking. You could ask, like, Какой падеж после себя требует этот глагол? or something similar.

    @Alenanno: I know the term very well, but I am pretty sure we didn't cover it in school. Of course the notion of transitiveness (переходность) of verbs is covered as a grammatical category, but the required case is obvious for native speakers. Incidentally, a lot of German native speakers I spoke to didn't know what Rektion was, which is exactly the same thing

    @texnic I was actually waiting to see if someone else wanted to post other answers. By the way, don't worry, I'm not new to the SE sites. :P
