You know you've been studying a foriegn language when you try to analyize the grammatical differences between "you're a huge disapointment," and "you're very dissapointing." "You" is the subject in both, but dissapointment is a noun while dissapointing is a gerud or something, and huge is an adjective while very is an adverb. Then there's the connotative differences that Mandi pointed out: "huge disappointment" I would say means that you yourself are a disappointment all the time, but "very disappointing" means that you disappoint people, but you aren't necessarily a disappointment all the time"

Anyway, does russian even have gerunds?
