There would be no need to translate it [tutoyer — duzen — tutear] literally, you would just need an indication that they were on familiar terms. That could be achieved by having one address the other as 'buddy' or 'pal' or 'dude'. Agree. So that would be rendition rather than translation, wouldn't ...

OK, /metRobulododo/ (uttered in one shot) is rather familiar, though no slang at all, and conveys the meaning that workday routine essentially boils down to spending your time in the underground (métro) , at work (boulot) and then in your bed (dodo) .

Moi je serais plutôt intéressé par une approche comparative (ou contrastive) entee le català antic et l' occitan ancian . Is such a thing even possible ?
