| Jun 10, 2018 at 10:08 | comment | added | melissa_boiko | This may be obvious but keep in mind that translation frequently has to change word classes, even if both languages have similar classes. The way to express "I like this cake" in Japanese is roughly "This cake by me cherished is", where "cherished" here refers to the adjective suki – Eng express the state of "liking something" with a verb, J with an adjective. The German way of saying "I like travelling" is "I travel gladly", with an adverb (gern). | |

If you're doing a lot of SEAsian languages, you'll want an overstuffed feature table, because almost all such features are critical in some area language. | |
