    Ahem... "Играться" is just colloquial ("просторечное") or childish. It's better to use "играть" (whomever you play wiith) if you want to sound as an educated adult. =)
    There are a few situations when "играться" can't be replaced with "играть", but it's not one of them.

    Из Lingvo:
    конкретный
    concrete, specific
    конкретные условия — concrete conditions
    конкретная цель — specific purpose
    конкретное предложение — concrete proposal
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    Alright, I'm not a linguist so please consider what they would say about it:

    Where Russians Go Wrong in Spoken English: Words and Expressions in the Context of Two Cultures[/i], Москва, 2005]Американский английский изобилует сотнями конструкций, в которых подчеркнуто выражен активный деятель, но беден неопределенно-личными и безличными выражениями; русский язык, напротив, богат последними. «Активные» языковые конструкции плюс «позитивное мышление» создают «активный» лингвокультурный обиход.

    С первого класса американцев учат употреблять в устной и письменной речи активный, а не пассивный залог.

    Что касается русского языка, то сама его структура тяготеет к безличности и неопределенности, когда не субъект «делает» что-то по отношению к кому-то или чему-то, а, напротив, «что-либо делается» по отношению к субъекту.
    That's what I meant.
    Словом можно обидеть. Словарём - убить.

    In English, concrete is both words: concrete = cement, and concrete (solid, tangible) is the opposite of abstract (idea).

    Re: Animals.

    I have noticed that Russian language has many words similar to Polish and some similar to English (chimpansee for example). The second one similarity is very weird for me - because these two and languages from different language groups :/
