Question for Native Speakers

[Alexei Pavlov]

Dear Anthony!
Yes, this two prefixes seem to have a very close meaning in this particular 
case. But it's only the feeling: prefix PRI- is used with several 
prepositions afterward. If we use "prijti v+ Acc (place)", if "priehal +na+ 
Acc(event)". In both case we should use the verb of motion. "Kleit'" is not 
this type of verb. I would rather use "prikleit' marku k + Dative( 
konvertu)". That can be used but...in this case it's difficult to find out 
from what side of the envelope we are going to stick a stamp.
According to what I said the only coreect variant here is: nakleit' marku na 
konvert where both prefix and preposition have the same meaning.

Hope that could help you.

A question on the use of verbal prefixes for the native speakers of Russian 
on SEELANGS:

Do you: a) perceive any difference in meaning

and/or

b)would there be any difference in the situations where you would use:

PRIkleit' marku na konvert  (ðòéËÌÅÉÔ?ÍÁÒË?ÎÁ ËÏÎ×ÅÒ?

vs.

NAkleit' marku na konvert  (îáËÌÅÉÔØ ÍÁÒË?ÎÁ ËÏÎ×ÅÒ?

Thanks in advance!
