Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): Valters Feists, Janis Auzins

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

English term (edited): unintentionally impose some of their OLD-SOUNDING patterns

dažbrīd nejauši uzspiež savus vecmodīgos paņēmienus

Liekas, ka rakstījumā varētu būt kļūda, un īstenībā domāts diezgan bieži sastopams vārds "old-sounding" (tāds, kas izklausās novecojis, veclaicīgs, vecmodīgs; vecišķs) - par vārdiem, izteiksmes veidu, skanējumu, bet arī par citām parādībām.

Viens darītājs kritizē citu par vecmodīgumu.

"Pattern" - paņēmiens, paņēmienu kopums, metode, rīcības veids, gaita. Arī kaut kā (lietu, norišu) izkārtojums. Varbūt arī par skaņu, bet vai kontekstā kaut kas tāds ir?

"They" - viņi, viņas, tie, tās.

"Unintentionally" - nejauši, netīši, negribēti, "pašam to neapzinoties".
Example sentence:

They’ll speak English but with a kind of old-sounding accent. And old words. As in like — nobody will say “month,” it's got to be “many moons”

Today, the lincoln is worthless [..] My point is that the name is old. Marketplace has become dynamic. Most old-sounding things don't do well [..]

fonētiskie modeļi

Latviski labāk lietot zinātniskāku terminu. Cilvēki, aizņemoties vārdu, piemēro tam savas valodas fonētiskos modeļus (manicure-> manikīrs).
