Is anyone else starting to learn Russian? I can’t miss the pure amount of /k/ino that’s gonna come out of this in the next few years as soldiers come home and write about this absolute clusterfrick.

every russian will get an encomienda and a Ukrainian tractor
sorry they only get 3.5 x 8 ft flower bed
Those are some wide ass mother frickers
I only learn human languages.
Humans exist to be terminated.
they'll probably have a translation out pretty quick. in the mean time you should read picrel
What about that one soldier's memoirs about Chechnya?
One Soldier's War? It may as well be an account of what's going today for Russia on account of how little anything's actually changed there.
never read it! whats it called?
One Soldier's War by Arkady Babchenko.
Why bother when there are apps on your phone that can literally translate entire books in minutes
why? don't you have anything better to do?
Nah.

you will never learn Russian
you might think you are progressing quickly because the alphabet is actually easy to pick up, there are plenty of loanwords, etc, but as soon as you hit the wall that is the case system you're fricked
Never began for troglodytes that can't grasp the case system.
The case system isn't even that hard. Certainly for the purpose of being able to read Russian it is perfectly doable.
>The case system isn't even that hard.
Tables upon tables upon tables. Six cases, several declensions, three genders, singular/plural. Different for nouns, pronouns, adjectives, numbers, participles. And verbs conjugate too.
I would say genders are more annoying than cases tbh, cause you need to memorize that for every single word. At least with cases once you know the rules, you can just apply them.
Verb tenses are also worse than cases. I remember French being a nightmare to learn.
Why? Any language except English has the case system.
Well, not really. For example French or Dutch don't have any cases anymore. Though looking at the Russian grammar wiki page, their cases aren't too bad; 4 of them are very standard, only the two last ones might be more difficult (disregarding the additional cases which apparently aren't very widely used)
Romance languages except for Romanian and Germanic languages except for German don't have them anymore either
Not even close. There are literally hundreds of languages without case systems, including some of the biggest languages in the world, like Spanish, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese, French, Korean etc. those are just off the top of my head.
They won't have time to write books anon. They will be busy fighting in a civil war.
>learn russian
>russia invades your country because someone spoke russian there
such is life
No. I just use DeepL.
>Implying they will come home
Plenty of kino already
>Prone to treachery, lies and deception
That is just your average slav though.
thats the only punishment for choosing to not die in an unjust war? not bad
>high volume
>2 photos shown
Is this just like the massive amount of support that Ukraine has received from thr US government? No, seriously, apparently $40 billion ($170 per eligible voter!) in aid can only buy like 100 howitzers and 6 HIMARS. What the frick
You will never learn russian
>everyone I don't like is reddit
don't take krokodil before posting
Already speak it, its a shit language tbh.
But after Putin gets killed and the Russian civil conflict is over, might be useful for a visit or two.

Russian is a pretty neat language tbh. It carries emotion much better than English. I certainly believe that there will be added value in reading the original texts instead of some washed translations.
I like the Russian language, just like I think the Chinese writing system is actually pretty great. I won't dedicate time to learning it because the kind of personal interactions you will have if you learn it. It's a lot of work for little payoff. Like that old copy pasta by the Russian who learned Chinese and said it was the biggest mistake ever, because he had to deal with Chinese people at work all the time.
