Holman): in sci.lang:
[a long and interesting explanation of cases in Finnish and Hungarian]
OK, you convinced me that Hungarian and Finnish have cases too. So
I'll modify my statements:
1) The fact that Hungarian has something like 4 times as many cases as
Russian, doesn't mean it is necessarily 4 times as difficult to learn
as Russian. I may even be easier.
2) I'd rather learn Hungarian than Russian, because the latter seems
easier to me (and more interesting). (So far I haven't learned either
languages, but I made some attempts).
