Listen to when he says something like кажда сейчас around the 1:25 minute mark.

I had learned before that каждый means "each", as in каждый день (each day).

So why does the ending for the word each change? Is this some kind of case in action here?

All I know is that день is masculine, what about сейчас? I know what сейчас means, but what I don't know is how it makes the previous word change.

He says "... в каждом now, в каждом сейчас...". He uses the adverb "сейчас" (now) as a noun of neutral gender, and "каждый" is an adjective with a hard stem. The case is prepositional and therefore the ending of "каждый" is "-ом": "каждом": http://www.russianforeveryone.com/Rufe/L...nit7_1.htm.

Thanks for this explanation, and thank you for the link!

Yep, he mixed the English "now" into the sentence (to create more confusion for FretDancer, lol).

Yes I noticed he used the English word "now" before. And that he was using сейчас as a noun. However the part that interested me most was in the word каждый.
