| Jun 18, 2013 at 20:59 | comment | added | Quassnoi♦ | @YellowSky: ok, but "traces of OCS ... in all the modern Slavic languages" is quite confusing. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 20:28 | comment | added | Yellow Sky | @Quassnoi - I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to say anything about the Church Slavonic influence. Church Slavonic is the oldest documented Slavic language, and, since orlenko asked for the origin of those endings, I thought using Church Slavonic material is a good way to explain that. Besides, in the 10th century all the Slavic languages differed but slightly, mostly phonetically, my examples are from the earliest translations into Church Slavonic. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 20:14 | comment | added | Quassnoi♦ | +1, but why do you think it's a Church Slavonic influence? Polish for instance is hardly influenced by CS but still observes similar features. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 20:12 | comment | added | orlenko | Thanks for your answer, and especially the comment about Ukrainian. Russian and Ukrainian are my native languages, yet I never noticed that "дві жінки" and "якісь жінки" differ only by stress. | |
