Hey Hayim Sheynin,<br><br>thank you very much for your e-mail.<br><br>With my grandmother's help, I'm able to transcribe the Russian words into kyrillic. Well, her Russian is kind of rusty, that's why I want to double-check if the transcription is right.
<br><br>что-то ('something' –
nominative)<br>чего-то ('something' –
genitive)<br>чему-то ('something' –
dative)<br>что-то ('something' –
accusative)<br>чом-то ('something' –
ablative)<br>чём-то ('something' –
instrumental)<br><br>кто-то ('someone' –
nominative)<br>кого-то ('someone' –
genitive)<br>кому-то ('someone' –
dative)<br>кого-то ('someone' –
accusative)<br>кем-то ('someone' –
ablative)<br>ком-то ('someone' –
instrumental)<br><br>Question: My grandmother felt like (she isn't sure at all) -либо could also be used instead of -то (-> что-либо, кто-либо etc.). Is this right?<br><br>And a final question: Those forms look very short. Are there any abbreviated forms?

dictionaries (<a href="http://gml.gidoo.de/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://gml.gidoo.de/</a>). In this ML, I have elements that<br> replace common words in dictionaries. Like "
en.sth" for "something".<br> The advantage is, that the user can decide whether he likes to see<br> "something" or "sth" or whatever.<br> <br> What I've got so far:<br> <br> English<br> -
<a href="http://en.sb" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">en.sb</a> somebody (sb)<br> - en.sth something (sth)<br> <br> French<br> - fr.qc quelque chose (qc, qqc)<br> - fr.qn quelqu'un (qn, qqn)

- de.etw etwas (et, etw)<br> - de.j jemand (j)<br> - de.j-m jemandem (j-m)<br> - de.j-n jemanden (j-n)<br> <br> Since there a lot more languages, I'm turning to you: What do<br> "something" and "somebody" mean on other languages?
