I think that's fairly common - I have definitely heard and said [ʃtʊf] for stuff before.

I'm here too. I read this thread and want to write, but my languages aren't good enough.

Like asking someone to send nudes or something? That would be one example; another would be simply paying someone to make porn. And if you do so in a violent message where the lil chiddrens might see then you go to jail. From the NZ Herald: Burning prison love forces Corrections to send in the riot...

This thread is excellent, Sal! I've just finished working my way through the examples here. I stopped listening to classical music about the same time that I stopped seriously practising the piano, but this thread is perfect for getting back into it. I didn't know much Schubert but definitely like w...

Tutte le lingue oceaniche sono così con i loro avverbi temporali, no? Aren't all oceanic languages like that with their temporal adverbs? Je ne sais pas - le maori ne fait pas l'accord avec des adverbes temporels, mais avec une classe fermée des particules adverbiales. SJMSC le marquer du passif es...

E hiahia rawa ana au, engari nā wai e whakaako au? Koe? Kāo... Ka whakaako kē koe i a au ki te reo Swahili :P I really want to, but who will teach me? You? No...

Ah, nilijua neno roa pia, ila nilikuwa nimesahau! Ah, I knew the word "roa" too, but I'd forgotten. Jifunze zaidi ya Kimaori! Uwe mtaalamu wa Kimaori! Learn more Maori! Become an expert in Maori! E hiahia rawa ana au, engari nā wai e whakaako au? Koe? Kāo... Ka whakaako kē koe i a au ki te reo Swah...

Najua nui tu. Tafadhali uandike kwa Kimaori! I only know "nui". Please write in Maori! Engari kāore au i āhei rawa :cry: māna te kore e kohe āku kōrero (he tangatanga te whakamāoritanga rānei). But I can't really, I'm sure most of what I've written here is gibberish (or very loosely translated, or ...

Sometimes I get frustrated in German when I want to say something like "I'm taller but he's bigger than me." I usually respond by saying Ich bin größer als er [vertical hand movement] aber er ist größer als ich [expanding in all directions hand movement] and people always tell me I should say schwe...

Apparently the Papuan language Berik can inflect its verbs for 3 numbers, 5 tenses, 3 times of day, 2 distances, 3 sizes of object, 2 genders, sometimes 2 heights, as well as a continuous action marker (though not all at once it seems). The phrase kitobana means "he/she gives three large objects to ...

My private primary school had a kiln. Clay was one of my favourite art thingies; my parents still have a couple mini sculptures of mine at their place. I don't know how normal that is here though. I never did art at secondary school but as far as I know there was no kiln there.

Ik zou graag Nieuw-Zeeland bezoeken willen maar het vliegticket zou te veel kosten. :( I would like to visit New Zealand but the plane ticket would cost too much. Fais-le! Pendant les soldes je crois que le prix d'un vol aller-retour peut baisser à environ USD500 - encore cher mais c'est mieux que ...

Il fait beau ici; hier il dépassait trente degrés. It's lovely here. Yesterday it got over 30 degrees. Ko te pepa tāku wārete, ehara nā taua te kāpia, te tēpara.

I think these are just as they're written. /pVlkrI"tjudInUs/, /dElI"tEsnt/, /sInd@"risIs/. In other words, as you'd expect from the usual -udinous, -escent and -aesis/-esis paradigms. I would probably have gone with /-iːʃənt/ for the second word because apparently I have been saying excrescent wron...

*It should be INANS for 'I'm not a native speaker' but now I realize it sounded quite silly. Merci ! Tu as enseigné le français, n'est-ce pas ? Donc j'ai confiance de tes corrections :) Thanks! You've taught French, right? So I trust your corrections. Est-ce qu'il y a beaucoup de Néerlandais en Aut...

**INAS but I feel like 'de' sounds more natural here since I don't interpret "strict translation" as being a unique concept. ***This sounded too informal and you don't write very informally Je suis d'accord avec de . Je ne voulais pas écrire formellement; est-ce que c'est mieux avec le futur compos...

Irgendwie sehe ich nicht, dass linguoboy mit den Echsenmenschen verbündet ist. Somehow I don't see linguoboy being allied with the lizard people. Même pas pour la domination complète du système solaire? Not even for total domination of the solar system? En réfléchissant, il se peut que Elon ne soit...

Woher weißt du, dass Elon nicht einer von ihnen ist? How do you know that Elon is not one of them? J'ai plutôt cru qu'il est un lézard, mais il n'est pas malfaisant donc tous les autres lézards ne l'aime pas. Si les ours s'allient avec les lézards, tout espoir est perdu. I thought he was a lizard p...

*Je ne peux pas trouver une traduction pour 'swahili', donc j'en ai créé une. Et le swahili vient de mémoire, donc j'ai probablement fait des bêtises. Et des nouilles sont miam-miam. * I can't find a transaltion for 'Swahili', so I created one. And the Swahili comes from memory, so I have probably ...

Kimaori! Te reo! Maori! Nilipoisoma hiyo, mimi pia nilikuwa nikila tambi. When I read that, I was eating noodles too. Āe! E hiahia ana au ki te ako i te reo Māori, i te reo Huahiri.* Ndiyo! Ninataka kujifunza Kimaori na Kiswahili. Yes! I want to learn Māori and Swahili. *Je ne peux pas trouver une ...

E kai ana au i te kihu parāoa iāianā. Kāore au i te mahara ki te kai aha mā te hapa. He tino pākinakina nei, otirā he kōngū, he haitutu.
I'm eating noodles at the moment. I don't know what I want for dinner. It's pretty hot here, but overcast and muggy.

I'm pretty sure Albanian does as well, and I would imagine there are enough hints and traces of it in the other modern languages that it would be possible to posit its existence, if not fully reconstruct it.
