if you had to pick one, do you prefer polished, curated, “civilized” view of the world from that times, or todays onslaught of lies, disinformation and conspiracies ?

let me guess, they consumed spiked up oranges ? and you are the only one who could resist it ? and russia launching war in the middle of the night has absolutely nothing to do with it ?

this is essentially what they told me (this is why copy/pasted slop as it's easier than typing half a page), +him been dragged to FSB for "conversation" due to "extremism"

well... it's not something that they will discuss. especially given that many try to assimilate or already lost their native culture or don't even care about it. don't like posts of type "ai told me so", but google

after russian invasion many of those who preferred to speak russian swore off speaking russian. do you want to guess why ? as other poster wrote, don't forget to collect your 15 rubel and buy some vodka on the way home

i have tatarian friends. they would like a word with you on this topic. when they are over my place for more than a couple of hours, there is always conversation about russia trying to suppress anything tatarian: both culture and language.

i know. its applicable to them as well. hebrew is learned in ulpans with teachers that speak only hebrew. vowels (nikud) will be used only for first month or two when people figure out basics of the language. given the way that hebrew struc

it's a thing. there are russians that think that they have superior culture and learning some other barbaric language is beneath them. so they either don't learn native language of the country where they live or learn it to bare m

overblown. there is no need in vowels beyond first couple of classes of elementary school and first couple of months when you learn hebrew as Nth language. the rest of complaints can be equally applied to any given language i guess.

in all countries where i lived, schools where I studied, there was heavy investment in grammar. (no, i didn't study in usa). I won't really agree that mastering grammar of native language limits on how well you can learn other lan

coffee color won't be synonym for brown. it will be distinct color, just like strawberry, raspberry, straw, ruby, etc colors.

Actually brown in russian it's "bark-colored". bark = кора. Корица (cinnamon) is diminutive

"кофейные брюки" is totally ok. everybody will understand it. it's just the way the russian language is. you can abuse it, you can come up with words that do not really exist in language and make no sense, yet, everybody will

actually you will. "coffee color" it's distinct from brown. And then there is also "coffee with milk" color. Won't be surprised if there is "pumpkin latte" color nowdays.

I have my own sample set as I presented. Russian is seriously messed up language. Especially after learning Hebrew (which is simple and algorithmic) , I was able to look back in Russian and realize what a horrible mess of a language it is.

Not really. At least not for me. The vast assortment of tenses was somewhat surprising. About English there is a Russian saying: "in english you write Manchester but you read Liverpool"
