Talk:Russian/Grammar

Prepositions
I think it would be helpful to talk about Russian prepositions and the cases taken by the nouns after the prepositions. And movement vs. stationary. Please will someone competent in Russian explain this in terms of Latin and German (compare and contrast). It bugs me to no end how language textbook authors assume Russian is the first foreign language learned. Not.Albertde 14:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Russian Word Order
Another thing that bugs me is how textbooks don't explain Russian word order beyond the BS that it is free. What they don't tell you is that adjectives always go before the nouns they modify. Not like English but like Dutch and German. So if English were like Russian we would say: From Track three departing train will be late. for The train departing from track three will be late.Albertde 14:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Purpose of some of these pages
I think there's some discord between the main contents page and this contents page. In the main one, there are articles for each case under Russian/Grammar/Genitive_case, etc, but this contents page has links to Russian/Grammar/Genitive. Is there any reason for this? It seems like an unnecessarily duplication. Also, I can't seem to find a way to this page, except by going to Genitive_case (or similar) from the main contents page, and then clicking 'grammar' at the top left - so what's the point of this page? In the meantime, I'm going to change the links to match the main contents page, as that has working links. I'm also going to add a link to this page from there.
