Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

You have to learn them. There isn't any particular rule as far as I know.

Prepositions are essentially just random in general regardless of the language, you just have to memorize and/or get a feel for them

#

There are some specific cases where it'll be consistent

#

At least mostly

keep in mind that English works basically the same way

listen + to
wait + for
recover + from
believe + in

you just need to know which prepositions are used after which verbs (and sometimes there are many)

this also applies with adjectives in both languages
good + at
interested + in
angry + about

etc.
