Thread: жестокой любовь

Well, here’s another doubt with a song of Kirkorov (.....).

“А я и не знал, что любовь может быть жестокой…”

Why not: любовь (=nominative case)… жестокая (=nominative case) ?

Thank you in advance. Ciao.

Maybe beacuse with the word быть you usually use instrumental?

я был счастливым
я буду врачом
я хочу быть писателем
любовь может быть жестокой

but:

я счастливый
я врач
я писатель
любовь жестокая

whos that hot chick in the top left of ur picture box thing vinnie

Isn't she hot?! Man, see the movie "а зоры здесь тихие ", I totally fell in love with her on the first sight! в этом случае, любовь точно жестокая!

The actress' name is Елена Драпеко. Sorry to disappoint you, guys, but I'm afraid you're just not old enough for her. "А зори здесь тихие" was filmed in 1972, so now she's in her late 50's . Btw, it might be interesting for you to know that she is an active member of the Russian Communist party and a deputy in the parlament. Here is her page on the official site of the Duma: http://www.duma.gov.ru/drapeko/

She did not age very well did she!

Thank you, Triton, for destroying my fantasy

Oh, don't mention it. There's no bigger pleasure for me than destroying somebody's dream.
So if anybody else here is suffering from "жестокая любовь" - you know whom to ask for the cure.

Vinnie, thank you very much for the explanation.
Ciao.
