(born in france from two polish parents) i just love how eastern languages words can be declined to alter their meaning ; atomicaly it's close to saying "adjective + word", they are also close to postfixes but not really since they alter part of the original word ; not only that it naturally involves that every word could be suddenly "casted" into something news ; which for some reason sounds very understandable but also makes the language very living and dynamic ; while French is inducing a complete paradigm shift with "verlan" - where we change the words by shifting the sylables ; fete -> teuf; mate-> tema ;

- dankle 3y agoAt the current rate, nothing will outlast the Russaian govt.
- nine_k 3y agoThat language has outlasted terrible governments so many times. It's pretty hard to say when Russia did not have a government that's patently terrible in one way or another.
- victorbjorklund 3y agoRussia had terrible govt for last 300 years. Pretty sure russia will continue to be evil even after Putin.
