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.
