      I’m native Russian speaker and I often reflect on what I’m saying and how I say things. This is very counter-intuitive.

      Do you know the joke that ‘flammable’ and ‘inflammable’ mean almost the same things? Guess what, in Russian I can give you a dozen of such pairs, some of them are essential in a casual conversation.
