Native Finnish speakers!

Would anyone be willing to give me some grammaticality judgments for a linguistics project? If so, PM me, and I will PM you back a short questionnaire-like thing (regarding whether, in your judgment, certain sentences are grammatically well-formed).

Thanks!

Does that mean "does google translator make any sense"?

No, it means "I'm a linguist and I want to know how certain grammatical structures interact with each other".

Ahhh.. a linguist, I like linguists, they make a fine dish with Chianti

The specific characterization of the difference between gradation of a
Finnish fart as opposed to a (allophonic) Gothic fart and the gradation
of the 800th century Hungarian (morphophonemic) fart is evident.

Foreigners often have difficulties in distinguishing between them, and
that causes a lot of confusions. It is understandable that if your
native style hasn't got double (long) farts and uses small puffs for
other purposes in fecalography (e.g. to indicate that the preceding turd
is short), you have some trouble in learning to fart in a way which
makes a petomanic distinction between normal (short) and double (long)
farts. These farts actually substantiate the view that the gradation of
farts is morphophonemic, since obscuring of the smell of a flatulent
change by subsequent or attendent changes is typical of morphophonemic
farts.

Not to bitch and moan, but your questionnaire still sits in my outbox...
