OOC: Grammar Exchange

Well, the other day I asked for translations of the phrase "It's her." into whatever human languages people wanted.  For some languages, it was pretty easy.   For others ... evidently there's no good translation of that phrase into Cherokee or Zulu at all.

So I'm starting a new community, [livejournal.com profile] grammarexchange .  We'll do this exercise for occasional common phrases, and ... have fun with amateur comparative linguistics!
