- Aleksej, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@ChileanGoD: In Russian, the grammatical case of a word is usually denoted by ending appended to it. So you could put words in reverse order or mix them up in a way that would still be grammatical, though not always of a usual speech style. E.g.: "a computer am using I" (“компьютер использую я”). From the forms of the two latter words, you can see that "использую" is a verb in the form used with "I" and "я" is in nominative case. So, even though the phrase may sound unusual (or it may not, depending on context), you will understand that it doesn't mean "A computer is using me".

- Aleksej, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@megaloid: Eliminating? There ain't no articles in Russian! :)
