This reminds me of how I translate Tomoulini Ganmaa speakers trying to speak
English. They use long complicated expressions, trying to emulate the TG
structures with English vocabulary. For example, there's a party and the
guest would like to say "We're all glad to have you here. Do you like this
food? I made it myself without any help. Why don't you try some?". The
TG speaker says instead: "Because we have you this place, we glad, we all.
Food this place, you're please by it? This I made, this with no help. Propose
you taste it."
Translating different registers can be very tricky sometimes!
