    But триста and тракторист don’t really rhyme. They sound a bit similiar at best. Could you explain?

      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!
