Examples of using
I'd still highly recommend that you contribute sentences in Russian, so we could have sentences we can all trust as sounding natural.
Constructed languages either are simplified as much as possible, or their grammar lacks for harmony peculiar to natural languages. Both disadvantages emasculate the language.
When you translate, you must remember that sentences should sound natural, and that they shouldn't differ significantly from the original meaning of the translated words.
