So *now* we get a explanation of verbs in -нуть, after having been asked to use them in the previous chapter... wrong order, methinks.

"Is Tanya right when she says that it is better to have been born without wings at all?" - what sort of philosophical question is that to put in a textbook and how on earth do they expect us to have the vocabulary to answer it in Russian?

I'm really struggling with the questions on this chapter... and it's not the grammar (I'm supposed to already know the genitive plural case!) but the vocabulary, which is just too abstract and unmemorable. I keep looking things up and then immediately forgetting them.

What on *earth* did I mean by the helpful marginal note "adverbs like noble gases"?

Verbs of motion again, not in a single block this time!
