Yes, there will be examples of some Russian words that are used like this. Any 2 languages will translate like this sometimes. My point is that on average or the majority of the time there are more words and phrases like this for English than there are for Russian. This is because Russian is a more complex language. What we have here is 2 Russians using the same exact word, "Mecto", to try and disprove what I am saying. I alone gave a few examples in one of my last posts just off the top of my head. I realize you guys learned English as a second language. Congratulations. I just hope you don't try and downgrade what I am saying just because I am trying to learn your language and you have already learned mine. You don't see Russian as harder because it is your language. The facts that Russian contains a larger vocabulary and more complex grammar are not debatable. It is fact.
