   • 2018, Вадим Буковский, Ньюфаундленд:

     У́ меня́ была́ одна́ тя́н, то́же худо́жница, у́ неё бы́л беспоря́док, бо́льше, че́м у́ меня́.

     Ú menjá bylá odná tján, tóže xudóžnica, ú nejó býl besporjádok, bólʹše, čém ú menjá.

     I used to date a girl, also an artist, she had a bigger mess than me.
