In Siniuz, especially when quoting something said in english, dialects or
manners of speaking are mimicked by use of cases and affixes or isolation.  If
i am translating "I was unable to  attend the film"  I would, believe it or
not, use the more isolating forms, i.e. "je n'a pu sist le sin"  as opposed to
"I couldnt go to the movies"-->"povdon' sinu."  also, if i consider someone to
in general speak poorly, I translate their speech affixedly regardless of
whether what they said was proper grammar.
