There used to be a vocative case in Russian, but they removed it, because the word in it was always the same as in the nominative case.

In Igbo-English translation:
Lala: With
Lalala: Struggle
Lalalala: do not struggle
I'm… scared.

“Byl bych býval bývalým, kdybych byl starobylý.”
“I would have been former/past if I was old-fashioned.” (I think)
In Czech, almost the entire sentence is derived from “být”, which means “to be”.

In Czech, the word for “weekend” is “víkend”, “kvalita” means “quality”, and… I ran out of words.

Okay… “igbo” means “bush” in Igbo.
(I think that this language deserves its own topic, so that we can discuss other languages.)

In earlier days of country, Finland's mean was “mudland”

"Nikdy nikomu nic neříkej.“
Literally: ”Never to no-one nothing don't say.“
Grammatically correct: ”Never say anything to anyone.“
The red parts are those that negate the sentence/word.
In Czech (and Russian), you have to negate everything, but in English, you just have to negate the ”ever“ (I believe that ”never“ is a contraction of ”not ever").

I think that “lakeland” or “snowland” fits it better, but if “mudland” was a decision made by Finns, then I'm not surprised.

Because the country was filled up with trees and bogs.

To all the English people who are learning Russian:
Mind the differences between /ʃ/, /ʂ/ and /ɕ/ (and their voiced equivalents), /ɹ/ and /r/, and /l/ and /ɫ/. They might sound similar, but if you don't want to speak with an accent, you must learn how to pronounce them.

Hmm. I think that it's because they were exploring only the South…

If you see tags instead of colours, then yes, it is cofusing to me, too.
Or do you mean something else?
