The problem with your i-Pod - not i-Tunes, and <b>-ся</b> points it. The young man in the store understood you, nevertheless, but just from the context. And foreign words change with Russian cases just perfectly, believe you me. At least in a speach. Just try to be among Russian expats anywhere in the world. The best place would be Brighton Beach in New-York city. It's a place where you can hear dialogs in grocery store like this one below: <i>- Мне три паунда чиза, пожалуйста. - Вам целым писом или послайсить?</i> Ну не прелесть ли такой язык?..

Ну не прелесть ли такой язык?..

However it's a bit like riding a bike - you don't forget. Except I have forgotten what the different case endings are used for so could you spell it out for me and any other lapsed Russian scholars trying to pick it up again after a long break?

He should have "shown" you what he did so that, were this to happen again, you wold not have to go back there to have "him" do it again! Byt the way, this is called a "reset." You could find out more about it through reading your new iPod manual or online at the Apple Store. I have the iPod 80G and love it. I bought the first iPod (5G) in 2001 and have had a few since then. I till have my "old" iPod 40. Take care.
