Both Polish and Russian are highly inflected languages. This means that endings are added to stems of words to signal changes in meanings. Nouns, adjectives and pronouns can be declined and change the structure of a word. A place name can take on a different look when various endings are added. This can be confusing to researchers even if the Polish or Russian equivalent name of the place is known. Some common place name forms in Germany and Polish are:<br> Ober = górny = upper<br> Unter = dolny = lower<br> Gross = wielki = large<br> Neu = nowy = new | Both Polish and Russian are highly inflected languages.
