    Hello, in the first example, can ‘Для того́’ be omitted? In the second example, why is кото́рых in genitive? and the meaning of ‘таки́е’? Thanks.

    • Learn Russian Words says:

      Hi Anita,

      – Yes, для того can be omitted.

      – Because it is related to the word потребление. Translated literally it would be “consumption of which” which is a good indicator of the Genitive case.

      – Unlike English, in Russian you have to structure it this way, it is an equivalent of “such”. Translated literally it would be something like this: It is customary to call essential goods such (goods) consumption of which…

      • Anita says:

        I was under the impression that кото́рых and other forms of который always starts a new clause after a comma, so that wasn’t the case?
        After таки́е, there is no need to put това́ры because a form of това́р (Това́рами in this case) already appears before it, is it so?
        Very often the order of words in Russian confuses me.

        • Learn Russian Words says:

          Который: It’s not the case, such structures as above are less common but totally possible.

          Такие: Yes, it is so. In complex sentences такой/такие often are at the end of main sentence and followed by comma, after which a subordinate clause starts.

          Order of words: It’s understandable, especially in a complex sentence. One step at a time, you will get more practice and it will be less confusing. 🙂
