Question about Russian
When I say : Я говорю о Москве
Москве is used in locative case.
And when I say : Я говорю о его матери
Nothing is used at the locative case
But "О" is asking for the locative case, no? 🤔
Could you explain me, please?

If I understood your question, in the second sentence "матери" is used in the locative case, so both sentences use it. In Russian cases are used for subjects, objects and people, hence, for all nouns

Yes I understand the difference between "О" and "В"
Wich are respectively "about" and "in"
Wich are respectively "about" and "in"

@AdrienDelRegno
In Russian, the local case (locative) often coincides with the prepositional case (prepositive) and therefore does not stand out as a separate case: at work - about work, in the library - about the library, in the file - about the file, about the mountains - in the mountains, about Moscow - in Moscow (from Wikipedia).
Yes, that's right.

"о" means "about"
I'm talking ABOUT Moscow
If you want to say about the location, you have to use "в" (if it is a country or a city/town) or "на"
