Он уже даже хотел начать изучать физику, которую в шутку называл физикой-мизикой...
I'm having trouble identifying how the subordinate clause links to the main clause, specifically, how the antecedent works. is it
- ... physics, which is called 'something'
or
- calling physics 'something'
To illustrate my confusion, in English you can say:
The book which i am reading.
the sentence can be broken into "The book" and "I am reading the book."
The book which is interesting
which one does the который
in the example work like?
