Therefore, Arabic and Latin (which also share verb conjugation) must be a piece of cake for French people. As should be Spanish, Adyghe and Ilocano. All of them conjugated! THIS MUST BE A CONSPIRACY! Actually, Russian conjugations are pretty primitive, nothing like French. The tricky part in Russian is verb aspects, something which is quite unfamiliar to French (and most predominantly romance languages) and more familiar to Germanic languages. Although this pattern has been drowned in the lexicon in most of the latter. Uh -- whatever. C'm on, folks. This thread has been wrung out. Let it die. And, oh, Weaver: either you have no clue or you are pulling our legs. Possibly both. Cheers - t
