Re: Ridiculous question for linguists/ language-likers

[dreemyweird]

I actually think that the worst part of English is conditionals. All the would/would've been/was stuff. Verbs aren't that hard, especially considering the fact that even the irregular ones have some change patterns (learn-learnt, keep-kept, creep-crept etc.)

!
Good luck) Russian has a lot of exceptions and strange structure, that's why it may be hard. For example, nouns change differently according to which group they are in (there are three groups).
Also the syntax is very flexible, and one sentence can have five or ten legitimate variations.
You can say "Why are you here?" or you can say "You are here why?" or "You why are here?", all of them are correct. It's a bit like Yoda's speech.
Good news, though, is that there are only six noun forms and three tenses.
Stresses are completely random... there's simply no rule for those.

As to Estonian, you hit home here: nina taga cases evolved from the "preposition+noun" constructions. In fact, some of them are still used with prepositions, which is rather silly, because when one says "ilma piimata", it essentially means "without without milk".
