The problem of case and declension of the Udege language is examined in this article. The question of expressing of the case meanings is investigated. The author demonstrates that case relations of this language are expressed not only with the help of suffixes but also with that of postpositions. For description of locative meanings both case indices and postpositions are used; however, for expressing provisional and some other meanings preference is given to postposition combinations. Postpositions are included into the system of declension as detailisators of meaning. Analytically expressed cases are competent members of the system of declension of the Udege language.
