Shouldn't we name this topic
"NEVER ENDING THREAD 2"
?
It will last until everyone in the world will know that "зимою" is "зимой". I am trying to get at you and use simpler explanations. Myabe someone else will make it clearer... :(
Is my Russian correct though?Quote:

:P I just copied what Dima wrote. Maybe in Israel they say Архаический :PQuote:
