In Russian, you actually have a marker on the end. If you're using a Russian name and each of those names, you'll also say, is it, you know, agent, it'll be the, you know, nominative, which is marking the subject, or an accusative will mark the object. And you could put them in the reverse order. You could put accusative first. You could put subject, you could put...

the patient first, and then the verb, and then the subject. And that would be a perfectly good Russian sentence. And it would still mean, I could say John kissed Mary, meaning Mary kissed John, as long as I use the case markers in the right way. You can't do that in English.

Those are for kind of meaning. Those are meaning. And subject and object are generally used for position. So subject is just like the thing that comes before the verb, and the object is the one that comes after the verb. The agent is kind of like the thing doing it. That's kind of what that means, right? The subject is often the person doing the action, right? The thing.

I think it's pretty automatable at this point. People can figure out what the words are. They can figure out the morphemes, which are the, technically, morphemes are the minimal meaning units within a language, okay? And so, when you say eats, Or drinks, it actually has two morphemes in English.

There's the root, which is the verb, and then there's some ending on it which tells you, you know, that's the third person singular. Can you say what morphemes are? Morphemes are just the minimal meaning units within a language. And a word is just kind of the things we put spaces between in English. And they have a little bit more. They have the morphology as well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so we have a little bit of that in English, very little. You have much more in Russian, for instance. But we have a little bit in English. And so we have a little on the nouns. You can say it's either singular or plural. And you can say the same thing for verbs. Like simple past tense, for example. So, you know, notice in English we say drinks.

you know, he drinks, but everyone else is, I drink, you drink, we drink. It's unmarked in a way. And then, but in the past tense, it's just drank. For everyone, there's no morphology at all for past tense. There is morphology, it's marking past tense, but it's kind of, it's an irregular now. So we don't even, you know, drink to drank, you know, it's not even a regular word.
