1. How productive are the processes by which nouns become adjectives and verbs become nouns? For example, there are correspondances such as значить--значение, повторить--повторение, изменить--изменение, and so on. If I were to propose a fake verb like зафренить, would you expect the corresponding noun to be зафренение?

2. If you saw a sentence like Я писала хорошему длинное письмо, would you be able to interpret it (however awkwardly) as "I sent a long letter to the good (one)."? For example, would it work in the following dialogue?

--Ты плохому студенту звонилa?
--Нет, я писала хорошему длинное письмо.

Thank you.
