Sorry for the extremely offtopic note, but I got a grammar-related issue here:
It's about "Целый мир освещают твои глаза". The subject and the direct object are both inanimate, their accusative case are therefore identical to nominative. Of course, there's no ambiguity here, because "освещают" is a plural verb and obviously refers to "глаза". But what if it was something like "Целый мир освещает твое лицо"? Now which one is being illuminated by which one?
"If in the end, Misha, you are destined to lose this game, there is no need for the reason to be cowardice!"
You can't tell. Perhaps for most people, the predominance of the Subject-Verb-Object construction would bias it towards the world illuminating the face. I assume you are asking about situations when set expressions also don't give a clue about what governs what.Originally Posted by Misha Tal
Where did you get this lyric? It seems that your version has at least one mistake. Head on there http://www.pesnihi.com/s/savicheva/s...vet_lubov.html this one looks more correct
Yes, in this situation the meaning would be ambiguous. Either the whole world illuminates your face or your face illuminates the whole world. You can only judge by context (or take whichever meaning you like).
Send me a PM if you need me.
