Just for the record, my proposal for the Hebrew version of
"Your Language Goes Here" has undergone a revision.
Yesterday, I asked the grammar teacher at the school where
I was working about a minor point of vowelling in the phrase
I've mentioned here. She (to put it mildly) objected to my
version and suggested something else. I suppose that a
native speaker who is a grammar teacher trumps two
native speakers who are only high school students (my kids).
So just to let everyone know, instead of /kan sfatxa/
(=3D here [is] your-language), I am now proposing:
/kan timtsa et hasafa ba ata medaber/
(=3D here you-will-find direct-object-marker the-language in-it
you are-speaking ) or "here you will find the language you speak".
