Is that even worse? Care to give a (translated) example, I'm curious.

far more complex than English. you can find plenty of information on YouTube on what exactly is hard to grasp for an English-speaker while learning the Ukrainian language.

I can imagine it is complex, but is it also complicated with these stupid inconsistencies as in English? Complexity is hard, but can be a good thing if it's just much logic. In English the logic has sadly been long lost as seen in the original post.
