I can't test it now on other languages and don't know is it change only on russian or not.

"You are wrong" or "You would be wrong". It sounds differently but both phrases mean the same. It is specific Russian grammatical specifics only. Поверните matches to command or directive - You must make a turn right! (Turn right). Поворачиваем matches to proposal in more friendly and respectful tone (plural is always basis of democracy in compare with authoritarianism of single person)- You would like to turn right. (Let us turn right). All other languages is more democratic and if it is very needed to require special word for it. But in Russian you can change only ending of the word and phrase will become gentle or intelligent. I think so but I do not know what moved Garmin to this way.

Any example of Russian grammar:
