    Well, I suppose it made me realise how useless articles are in a statement.

    «где здесь кинотеатр?» (where here movie theatre?)

    “where is the movie theatre around here?”

    Without articles the point comes across in a much simpler form. that being said, a lot of other languages also have a terrifyingly complex case system or pointlessly gendered language or both. I don’t think any language is “broken” but they all definitely have quirks.
