2024 October 11, И. Сабадош, “Затрацене у прекладзе”, in Руске Слово:Концепт интеркултуралносци наклада и вимага же би кажде, медзи иншим, ровноправно могол бешедовац на своїм мацеринским язику – чи на драже, чи на пияцу, чи у школи, чи на науковей конференциї.- Koncept interkulturalnosci naklada i vimaha že bi každe, medzi inšim, rovnopravno mohol bešedovac na svojim macerinskim jaziku – či na draže, či na pijacu, či u školi, či na naukovej konferenciji.
- The concept of interculturality imposes and demands that everyone, among other things, should be able to chat in their mother tongue on an equal footing – be it on the street, in the market, at school, or at an scientific conference.

Usage notes
- In the future tense, годзен (hodzen) is more commonly used than будзем мочи (budzem moči), будзеш мочи (budzeš moči), etc. For instance, the future form of the first usage example would be either я то нє годзен / годна / годно зробиц (ja to nje hodzen / hodna / hodno zrobic) or я то нє будзем мочи зробиц (ja to nje budzem moči zrobic, “I will not be able to do that”).
- Either мог (moh) and могол (mohol) may be used for the masculine singular past indicative form.
