Hey, can anyone tell me what the difference between "Zachem" and "Pachimu" are? I know that they both mean Why, but I was wondering if they were interchangeable or if one is used best in a certain situation.

"Why" and "what for" aren't semantically different. The same goes for the Russian equivalents. It's just usage, and even then they're not used in totally seperate ways.

Doesn't.
