A Russian I know has used a phrase a few times which means "you decline words / use the cases in Russian well"... it's something like "вяжешь падежами" but I can't remember exactly. Can someone let me know the correct phrase and how it used?

Could it be "ты шáришь в падежáх"? A slang phrase that means you know the cases well.

Падежи не вяжутся?

Падежи не вяжутся - не растёт кокос ;)

sounds wierd to me.
хорошо склоняешь слова, знаешь падежи is more neutral.

вяжешь падежами sounds slangish. Вязать smt. plainly means speak http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=phr&s=%E2%FF%E7%E0%F2%FC&sc=9&l1=2&l2=1 - like here. But I cannot imagine who uses it today.

I think you are a bit confused up here. You decline the cases as if you were born a Russian and you are so drunk that you can barely speak - are two different things after all.

"Ты вяжешь падежи" - was a common phrase we used during the study in the foreign languages college, yet it surely is a slang phrase.

Yes it was a slang phrase I'm pretty sure. Ok, so this is a decently widespread phrase? It would be understood if I said it?

[malim-praedari.livejournal.com]

I've never heard it before.

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

Never heard that phrase.

[ex-miecz-kai361.livejournal.com]

It surely would. I would understand it.

[ex-desbaraj.livejournal.com]

I've never heard it.

But sounds interesting (providing it's college slang)

You knit cases very well.

That's funny. I'm Russian and I am a linguist and it sounds very strange to me)
Whatever)

[mukinu.livejournal.com]

Падежи вообще между собой не вяжутся. Ну да ладно.

Простите, зашла к вам в журнал. Вы из Польши, живете в Сибири и говорите по-русски?!)) Вот это да)
Просто стало интересно

Could be "жжешь"?

[alek-morse.livejournal.com]

падежами жжечь сердца людей ;)

"склоняешь слова" || "используешь падежи"
Or do you need a slang phrase? May be "шАришь в падежах"?

[captainhighwind.livejournal.com]

Связывать падежи. I think it was this way.

[fregat118.livejournal.com]

Ты не вяжешь в падежах?

Usually this means that someone doesn't understand about something. I don't know where the phrase comes from and it is used not that often.

[jakobz.livejournal.com]

"путаешь падежи?"

[ex-desbaraj.livejournal.com]

Связываешь падежи?

That might have meant
"You deal quite well with that agreement"

You make agree participles, adjectives and (with?) nouns
