Language / Polish v Russian - similarity [17]
Hello all,
A quick question about the two languages.
Obviously, they use different alphabets, but how similar is Polish to Russian?
On an initial, superficial inspection, they seem, to me, to have some crossover of vocabulary. Or have I just read too much into the few words of Polish I have heard pronounced?
Do they have similar grammatical constructions? 3 genders, instrumental cases, animate nouns...that sort of thing? Does Polish have that funny future tense thing that Russian has?
Regards
John
