Thread: Привет всем!

У пожилой женщины седые волосы = There is gray hair at old woman.
There is hidden verb "есть".

So acting object is волосы, they "exist" <- action.
And specification of action with place: where? whom at? do they exist. At woman -> У женщины.

Than we specify each noun with an adjective -> the same case.
У женщины (genitive) -> пожилой (genitive).
Волосы (nominative) -> седые (nominative).

That is how it works. On my not professional opinion and debris of school knowledge. Enjoy!

Спасибо Dmitry!

I need to digest this now. It is quite complicated next to what I have knowledge of before.

I have met a little of the expanded gender thing before in Brazilian Portuguese where if I say thankyou I would say 'obrigada' but a male would say 'obrigado' but the verb for I would stay the same whether male or female.

I can see in Russian that the subject of the verb can be quite difficult to identify for the likes of me.

I have some hard work ahead of me I think!!
