probably you are looking for this one:

as for the confusion -- English word "cat" does not even distinguish between male and female, young and old cats, and the finer things like the attitude of the speaker, that are also often embedded into the Russian words, have to be translated with extra words too, pretty much always imprecisely. One really needs to learn the language, the way such words are formed and the context the suffixes and prefixes are used in to recognize and understand them properly.

Conversely, some of the word forms you hear might not be even found in dictionaries, or they can be insufficiently described.[/b]
I think I understand the difference now Russian is a bit more complex in that it is more expresive.


Спасибо каждый для вашей помощи
