Somebody told me that the grammar in the Russian language can get extraordinarily complex.

yeah, i've heard this too.i've started doing a bit of research, it's just the order of adjectives and verbs, really.except it's not the same as like, French, or something where you say adjective then noun, it's different in like every way, but you just gotta learn the rules.

do you guys say spolai ti for thank you
also do you have a dish called maznik or zelnik

because we have all that in macedonian and apparently "spolai ti" is from from turkish (we got a lot of turkish loanwords)
Spolai ti? Not even close.. we say 'tesekkur ederim', 'tesekkurler', or 'sagol'.
We do have maznik and zelnik, but to us they are just variations of borek, which i think you guys call burek?

lol you can thank the Ottomans for that

also to answer the question: just english :(
How come your parents didn't send you to saturday school? (if there is saturday school for maso or farsi)
