osprey_archerBow before me, for lo, I conjugate!
In Russian, I can say:
I read book.
I understand book.
I write book.
Russian has no articles. Russian needs no articles. Articles are invention of weak Western Europeans.
But wait! There is more! I can also say:
You write book.
He writes book.
We write book.
They write book.
I see you are not yet begging for mercy. But wait! I have secret weapon!
I wrote book.
Past tense! Before this terror you cannot stand! Bow, or my troops will ravage your city and eat your chickens! Yes! Think of your poor fat feathery chickens. We will eat them, and make their eggs pysanky!
