You know what! Yesterday some dude came up to me and asked, "You know what!"

Me, "What?"

Him, " Prob'ly I'll be a damn'd asshat in your book but there's a thing I still can't take a hold of."

And me, "What's it?"

And him, "It's a grammar thing... Really, I don't know how to put it..."


"Don't worry and relax pal. I'm used to listening to so many freakin' questions that I lost my last hair on my *ss, so the world's in your hand!"

"Maybe you've heard of this. I know how you decline "лето", "зима"... But I came across the phrase "Холодною зимнею порою" which, I guess, means "During the cold winter-time." The thing is, I've never seen this strange "-ю" in the end. What does it mean?"

*very deep and cool you-are-fucking-asshat-how-dare-were-you-to-be-born-to-this-world SIGH*

"Hm. Man, Archaic Winter is the only phenomenon in the Russing language you don't need brains to figure out. ЗИМОЮ=ЗИМОЙ".
