    давайте

    Let’s get our facts straight so that nobody will be able to manipulate our testimony in the months and years ahead.
    Давайте наш вопрос определить так это ничтожество будет манипулировать наш показания в месяц и год впереди.

    This is a very long sentence. Can you please dissect the parts and label each phrase (genitive?accusative? prepositional?...etc).

    I am confused with the icon on "Russian lessons"...How do you make мусяц and год plural. You please give me the case and the plural and I'm on my own.

    Давайте уточним факты, чтобы никто не смог манипулировать нашими показаниями в будущем (in the future).

    Давайте уточним факты, - Let us get our facts straight. факты - accusative
    чтобы никто не смог манипулировать нашими показаниями в будущем

    никто - nominative (nobody)
    не смог бы - (will be able) - double negative in Russian - никто не смог бы
    манипулировать - manipulate
    нашими показаниями - plural instrumental (testimony in original is in singular, but показания is usually used in plural in Russian)
    в будущем - prepositional
    (in the months and years ahead - в грядущие месяцы и годы) too bookish, epecially in Russian.

    месяц - singular
    месяцы - plural (stress on е)

    n. мeсяцы
    g. мeсяцев
    d. месяцaм
    a. мeсяцы
    i. месяцaми
    p. о месяцaх

    the stress letters are marked in bold.
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    It took me to read 'Russian lessons' for the nth time to be able to get it. Types of declension of nouns, adjectives are clear to me now. Many thanks to all of you.
