Study these sentences.

The Tatoeba Project, which can be found online at tatoeba.org, is working on creating a large database of example sentences translated into many languages.

It's so easy to write good example sentences, that even if we accidentally delete a few good sentences in the process of getting rid of a whole lot of bad ones, I think we could drastically improve the quality of this corpus by doing a lot of deleting.

Pick a few random sentences (just 2 or 3), record them, and send us the samples at team@tatoeba.org, with the title "Audio for Tatoeba in <language_name>".

The sentences "Let's eat grandpa." and "Let's eat, grandpa." are only one proof that punctuation can change a lot.

I feel like... Dima started to say. "I feel like I haven't done anything for the last 150,000 sentences."

But you know, it would be sad to collect all these sentences, and keep them for ourselves. Because there's so much you can do with them. Which is why Tatoeba is open. Our source code is open. Our data is open.

I sat down to translate the sentence shown on the main page into my native language, and half an hour and two dozen sentences later I had to convince myself to stop.

But that's not the whole picture. Tatoeba is not just an open, collaborative, multilingual dictionary of sentences. It's part of an ecosystem that we want to build.

Sentences bring context to the words. Sentences have personalities. They can be funny, smart, silly, insightful, touching, hurtful.

In the style of conceited people, he lards his sentences with ill-digested English words. A kind of failed dandy, deprived of class.

When writing for a German newspaper, every few sentences you should replace some grammatical case with a dative, or a noun with its English translation, to make your article linguistically more interesting.

Maybe I should add some sentences without translations too. It's a very quick way to improve the rating of your language.
