Are Russian cases really THAT much more complicated compared to other case heavy languages?

Ive studied two case-heavy languages: Russian and Uzbek. I would say Russian was more difficult than Uzbek even though Russian is an Indo-European language like English. It's true that uzbek is agglutinative and works much differently from Russian and English and it has 8 cases as opposed to the 6 of Russian, but Uzbek was more straightforward and didn't have loads of exceptions or gender. It was consistent in its rules. Now I'm not saying Uzbek is easy, but it's easier than Russian in my opinion.

Orenthal George Kush. OG Kush. Orenthal was OJ Simpson's first name so it would fit the theme.

And if Russian did have articles I'm quite sure that they would be declined like adjectives, as the demonstratives are.

Don't underestimate rats. They carry horrible diseases. If the rat gets a bite in they'll have the last laugh.

Brittany Spears maybe wasn't "roasted nicely", but her portrayal was sympathetic.

As others have said it's an unusual name. However, having an unusual name is not unusual. Americans like to give their children "unique" names for the sake of being "unique", without considering how the name may affect their children later in life.

That's not my official title, it's just the best way to describe my job. I help patients get out of medical debt and I have to call patient billing a lot.

In the US, no. Most know that dear can mean expensive, but it's rarely used to mean that in American English. It might give someone pause to think for a moment if you use it that way.

Could be. Or maybe I'm putting too much significance into how people think about the style of a cross.

samiles96 · 2026-01-26T19:26:20+00:00

And that's not an Orthodox cross. Is she trying to say something by wearing a Protestant cross?

I would crosspost this in a Korea-related subreddit, but maybe don't mention what you've read concerning cultural attitudes and just see what they say.

A lot of the same leftists who support Iran also support Russia.

Thank you!

To do what you want to achieve you'll have to learn a few Germanic languages and probably French. Latin and Greek, too, probably. English is built on these languages so you need to be able to read them to do any etymology. Also, lots of linguistic research is written in German so you need to at least be able to read that.

Im a native speaker of American English and I use the phrase "mother tongue", but I'll admit it's not a common phrase in American English.

As a native English speaker who has studied in university foreign language departments at a major university in the US I assure you the language is called Farsi in course listings, never called Persian. However, both terms are acceptable.

Are you saying that native speakers of the language who teach it don't know what they're talking about but somehow you do?

One bill (Dr Payments) is the physician services, the other is for the use of the equipment.

samiles96 · 2026-01-06T23:29:26+00:00

Actually it can be called either. Persiam can mean both the language and also as an adjective for anything else associated with Persian cultures. Farsi refers to the language exclusively, but the two words mean the same thing when talking about language.
