    Sure. There’s a thing in a lot of languages called grammatical cases. In basic terms cases make a word “adhere” to the rest of the sentence. Different languages have different amounts of cases. For example, German has four, Ukrainian – seven and Russian – six cases for nouns.

    In this case the word тракторист would change to тракториста and it rhymes with триста.

    The whole joke looks like this:

    — Триста.

    — Отсоси у тракториста!

      Понятня, спасибо. Я знаю о падежах, мой родной язык - немецкий, и я немного знаю русский.

      And just to make sure no one reading this thinks speaking a little Russian means supporting Russias dictatorship:

      Слава Украини!

      Россия будет свободна!
