"Proper" word order in Russian
Ok...here's a question...is there a "proper" word order in Russian? I have been told on more that one occasion that I have said something in an "archaic" manner, or just plain strange.
Gulnara, my Russian teacher, explained that there is an accepted word order. I doubt Russian is like what Old English used to be, as long as everything was declined properly and matched up, it didn't matter what order the words came in (in a general manner of speaking).

You may sound archaic sometimes when you use adjectives or pronouns after nouns, like 'дочь моя', instead of 'моя дочь'.
