and what about "breast"? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Wait, what? It changes gender in plural?
You Italians are sick xD
In Russian if you make a plural of word, it would not have any gender at all and that is make sence, because it is a plural =)
So many articles... Un, le, I, una... Oh my, I cannot even use a(an)/the properly, needless to say about four of them. In Russian we have no articles and honestly I never could understand why other languages have them at first place. On other hand, Russian has lots of weird grammatical things that I do not like and their absense in English make me happy (like grammatical cases).

In Russian breast (грудь) is female. And that, if you allow, *is* right gender. =)
However, Cleavage (декольте) is neuter for some reasons in Russian.

Yeah, well learn to use the german Double Pluperfect correct on a verb and we can talk. AFAIK that doesnt exist in any other language.

Die Brust. Female of course.

Four?

Indefinite (a/an):

Singular:
Male: un/uno ; Female: un'/una

Plural:
Male: degli/dei ; Female: delle

Definite (the):

Singular:
Male: il/lo/l' ; Female: la/l'

Plural:
Male: i/gli ; Female: le

That's more like it xD

I have said above that in Russian breast is female. Thus is a list of various things.

Breast (грудь) - female
Cleavage (декольте) - neuter
Nipple (сосок) - male (...why?)
Hips (бедро) - neuter
Waist (талия) - female
Ass (попа) - female
Mouth (рот) - male
Pussy (киска) - female
Vagina (вагина) - female
Dick (член) - male (of course!)
Cum (сперма) - female (for some weird reasons)
Sex (секс) - male
Oral (орал/минет) - male
Anal (анал) - male

Four?

Indefinite (a/an):

Singular:
Male: un/uno ; Female: un'/una

Plural:
Male: degli/dei ; Female: delle

Definite (the):

Singular:
Male: il/lo/l' ; Female: la/l'

Plural:
Male: i/gli ; Female: le

That's more like it xD

You made me feel sad. =(
Why there are SO many? Say, why sometimes un/uno? Depends on is next letter is consonant or not?

Didnt we forgot something? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) What about the Articolo partitivo?

Breast (грудь) - female
Cleavage (декольте) - neuter
Nipple (сосок) - male (...why?)
Hips (бедро) - neuter
Waist (талия) - female
Ass (попа) - female
Mouth (рот) - male
Pussy (киска) - female
Vagina (вагина) - female
Dick (член) - male (of course!)
Cum (сперма) - female (for some weird reasons)
Sex (секс) - male
Oral (орал/минет) - male

Breast (seno) - male, and there is no "breasts", it's "seno" for one boob, and "seno" for all two together
Cleavage (scollatura) - female
Nipple (capezzolo) - male
Hips (fianchi) - male

"Articolo partitivo" is actually something like an indefinite article.
Theoretically there is no plural for indefinite article. But we use those as a plural of that.

The singular is used, usually, to define "a bit of"

Del/Dello/Della/Dell'

ex. "Del pane" (some bread)

Yup.

Examples

Il pane (the bread)
Lo pneumatico (the tire)
L'albero (the tree)

La vita (the life)
L'apparenza (the appearence)

A starting vocal in the word makes the vocal of the article LO/LA become an apostrophe (L')


But warning, indefinite articles, if male, don't get the apostrophe, you only take out the vocal of the article

Uno zigomo (a cheekbone)
Una fragola (a strawberry)

Un'arpa (an harp) -> female
Un ospedale (an hospital) -> male

But you also have regular "un" for words that don't start with a vocal

Un gatto (a cat)


Italian for dummies (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

*innocent whistling*

We use prepositions for that, we don't have genitive, dative, etc as forms.

"Di/A/Da/In/Con/Su/Per/Tra/Fra/Sopra/Sotto"

(of/to/from/in/with/on/for/between/between/over/under)

And some can be built with an article.

Example

Di + il = del
A + il = al
Da + il = dal
In + il = nel
Con + il = col
Su + il = sul
Per + il = per il ((IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif))

wow, so in Italian "the breast" is uncountable? It is always a singular no matter what? That is something very strange, IMHO, because clearly one can count the breast - one at left, and one at right, totally two of them. But it appears that for Italians both left and right are part of one thing and without one, that thing will not be full and that is why you can't count breasts because they are monolith parts of common.
Man, it is deep and I kinda agree with Italian...

Uncle, your table had to remind me the time when I have learn Latin xD Nominative, Genetic, etc are names for Latin grammatic cases.
Interestingly, but what you Italian/German put as article, we, Russians, put as endings of the words.

That sir is weird. Why not just use burp sounds and point with your finger? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Yup, it's "il seno" to define someone's breasts. But also "il seno destro" for the right breast and "il seno sinistro" for the left breast.

If we want to "count", we can use tit and tits (tetta/tette) xD.


We have a lot of words like that, but I can name more that lack a singular.

Example "forbici" (scissors) does not have a singular, but I don't think english has that either.

Same for Russian - "ножницы" (Scissors) are always plural. I can't even imagine that word being singular in any language, it feels just so wrong for me =)

And I like tetta/tette more than tit/tits =P

Same for Russian - "ножницы" (Scissors) are always plural. I can't even imagine that word being singular in any language, it feels just so wrong for me =)

Lately a lot of people here in italy wrongly use the word "forbice" as a singular (forgetting that scissors are always a pair).

I've seen it in an elementary school, told by a teacher, I cringe only by thinking about that :/

seems to be returned in middle school, when they were teaching grammar...

What!? How we managed to do it and why? XD
Are there any porn/pedophile/suicide/copyrighted content on this domain? Because they are reasons that me be behind.
Currently we have very strict laws about internet and sites' content and any site may be ~temporally~ blocked ISP-wise even without court's decision and permanently with.

Sorry for inconvenience =)

I've read the news...but is it really as bad? Like can you still access sites reliably without employing complicated methods that require great technical proficiency?

Let's say that all e-hentai is blocked in Russia, however I can freely use it and post messages here and there =)
Well, yes, it requires some technical knowledge, but nothing too complicated - just install/activate good old proxy and you are again online.
And it is very serious, even more - cryptocurrency, most probably, will be prohibited in Russia - we even have first arrestes for crypto-operations and court qualifies such actions as illegal banking.
Stupid, I know.
Also we nave a great law that requires every site that has more than 3,000 unique visitors to be registered in a special regestry with defining what that site is doing, its content, who is owner, contact details and so one.
One more funny law - if site stores data and information about Russians (for example their providen names during the registration) - then this site should not send these data to different country and should place its servers in Russia. In other words - servers from Russia cannot send credentials of Russians to foreign servers. Think about it for second and imagine yourself an online internet shop.
Madhouse, bedlam, idiotocracy, what I can say?
On other hand, the very good thing about Russia is that none follow these rules and police mostly don't care, until that site hosts suicide/pedophile/copyrighted materials.
And let's be honest, all this restriction have been made just to fight political opposition and to reduce the freedom of speech. So, until you start messing with policy, you are mostly safe. Pedophile/suicide stuff are exceptions - they are being monitored very strictly.
