- tguvotnot in my experience and it will be more expensive to company
- >sure, we all agree that it is partly designed to get people to hang up in disgust and give up
actually, as someone who works in this area - no, it's not. it designed to help people to do things and metrics of success are closely monitored
- this is how comparations work. or reference points.
i'll give you another example: "after wearing flip-flops i realized how heavy my rubber boots"
- let me guess, they consumed spiked up oranges ? and you are the only one who could resist it ? and russia launching war in the middle of the night has absolutely nothing to do with it ?
- this is essentially what they told me (this is why copy/pasted slop as it's easier than typing half a page), +him been dragged to FSB for "conversation" due to "extremism"
- well... it's not something that they will discuss. especially given that many try to assimilate or already lost their native culture or don't even care about it.
don't like posts of type "ai told me so", but google nicely summarized things in this case
Language Suppression: The most significant recent development was the 2017 law that ended the mandatory study of the Tatar language in schools, making it an optional subject. This has led to a decline in new generations of Tatar speakers and marginalized the language in administration and higher education. Efforts by Tatarstan to revert their script to the Latin alphabet were also blocked by Moscow.
Political and Civic Crackdowns: The Russian government has systematically eroded the political autonomy that Tatarstan gained in the 1990s. Tatar national organizations, such as the All-Tatar Public Center, have been labeled "extremist" and banned, with activists facing fines, detention, and imprisonment for speaking out against the policies.
Historical Revisionism: Moscow promotes a single, "imperial doctrine" of history, suppressing narratives that contradict it. This includes the erasure of Tatar national heroes and the promotion of figures who align with the Kremlin's narrative. Public memorial events related to historical injustices, such as the 1944 deportation of Crimean Tatars, are restricted or prohibited in Russian-occupied territories like Crimea.
Control over Identity: The official state policy focuses on a conventional, apolitical interpretation of Tatar culture, ignoring the community's desire for genuine self-determination. The goal appears to be the destruction of distinct national identities and the creation of a unified, unitary Russian state.

- i don't have habit of giving morality lessons to somebody. especially to somebody who willingly misrepresents what happens in israel, ukraine and russia
- well, we have difference of opinion about genociding. and you obviously not sufficiently exposed to russian opinions about ukrainians: to kill all adults and reeducate children to be good russian and use them to fight west, is not exactly fringe opinion.
but given that we were talking about cultural suppression, in my country, there is an state financed arabic school system where everything is taught in arabic, state sponsors muslim clerics/mosques and by law all signage and documents must have arabic.
ps. kinda ironic that you actually want to genocide entire country while complaining about "genocide"
- my country also suppressing ukrainian culture for hundreds of years ? it's something new for me
did I say that he was killed ?
- after russian invasion many of those who preferred to speak russian swore off speaking russian. do you want to guess why ?
as other poster wrote, don't forget to collect your 15 rubel and buy some vodka on the way home
- Majority of Ukrainians want nothing to do with Russia, Russia culture, language etc. Given that a bulk of "shared culture" is Russian attempts to suppress anything Ukrainian over past few hundred years.
This is where interest of Ukrainians lay.
And I'll quote you a Russian journalist, that had to run away from Russia and later was assassinated by Russians in Ukraine. 10 years ago or so he wrote: west should dig a deep ditch around Russia and fill it with alligators.
There is also non-zero amount of actual russians that think that russian culture brings only misery and should be destroyed together with russia (state as we know it)
- i have tatarian friends. they would like a word with you on this topic.
when they are over my place for more than a couple of hours, there is always conversation about russia trying to suppress anything tatarian: both culture and language.
this is their first hand expirience. from few past decades
- i know. its applicable to them as well.
hebrew is learned in ulpans with teachers that speak only hebrew. vowels (nikud) will be used only for first month or two when people figure out basics of the language.
given the way that hebrew structured, it's trivial to figure out words even if you don't know them.
the really hard problem is borrowed words that are written without nikud. for example something like: _nvrst .
- it's a thing. there are russians that think that they have superior culture and learning some other barbaric language is beneath them.
so they either don't learn native language of the country where they live or learn it to bare minimum
- overblown. there is no need in vowels beyond first couple of classes of elementary school and first couple of months when you learn hebrew as Nth language.
the rest of complaints can be equally applied to any given language i guess.
- in all countries where i lived, schools where I studied, there was heavy investment in grammar. (no, i didn't study in usa).
I won't really agree that mastering grammar of native language limits on how well you can learn other languages. Maybe it matters in the way how it taught in college, when you are older and approach to learning language is "more structured". But when I learned Georgian at age of 6 and Hebrew at 12 (through very deep immersion. Teachers spoke only Hebrew), English at 14 (I had 5 months of private lessons following by dial-up connection to mostly english internet), it didn't matter. At least not for me.
There was also this interesting phenomena, that immigrant when they went to local school, their scores in hebrew grammar classes were usually higher than those of native speakers.
- coffee color won't be synonym for brown. it will be distinct color, just like strawberry, raspberry, straw, ruby, etc colors.
- it doesn't really diminishes my point
- "кофейная чашка" meaning will be resolved according to context where it's used
Don't know japanese, but english been main language that i consume in past 25 years or so. i never saw it abused to same degree as russian gets abused
- Actually brown in russian it's "bark-colored". bark = кора. Корица (cinnamon) is diminutive
