Question for Native Speakers

[Alexei Kokin]

"The meaning of the prefix NA
corresponds to the preposition NA, and the meaning of the prefix PRI
corresponds to the preposition K." Exactly. Without consulting Dal', I would instinctively say "prikleit' marku k konvertu" rather than "na konvert." Yet to avoid the unpleasantly sounding "kukk," I'd either choose "prikleit' marku na konvert" or drop grammar in favor of euphony and use "prikleit' na." After all, it must be less of an offense than confusing "nadet'" and "odet'."

colloquially.

Sincerely,
