Two chairs

[Andrey Shcherbenok]

As a native speaker, I always say "dva stula", never "dva stulia". So does
Russian internet: if you google both (in quotation marks, so that it
searches for the exact word combination only) you get 51800 vs 341 hits.

Hi All!

Which do you prefer? Два стула  или два стулья ?

The native speakers I know can't seem to decide, nor can the Russian
internet. (Search either version on google, and you'll find useage of both.)

Thanks for the input!
