Um, я выиграю? Победить doesn't have the first person form so you have to use одержу победу, but that's not because the form isn't achievable, it's just a weird

Um, я выиграю? Победить doesn't have the first person form so you have to use одержу победу, but that's not because the form isn't achievable, it's just a weird conventional feature of that word that the usual pattern doesn't apply.
- eimrine 3y agoYou are right in every word but I keep having an opinion that this is because of not-fixed order. I am not out of examples, imagine describing something to the some person in singular second person for (regular discussion with anyone) and in plural second person form (discussion with somebody having higher status or age). It is very uncomfortable to have an extra sillable which encodes plurality in EVERY verb (except of infinitives, of course). Посмотрите когда сможете, уже посмотрели? The last Russian word in sentence has an ambiguity - it means both a state when the companion looked at something alone and a state when we both looked at something. That's why I hate to discuss anything in such a "respectful" style.
