Es gibt in letzter Zeit nur ein Muttersprachler, und es sieht aus, er ist nicht zu Hause :).
There's only one mother tongue speaker lately, and it looks like he's not home :).

And I wonder whether Hawaiian kākau may be in any way related to Japanese 書きます kakimasu 'write'.
Ūlialia. Ke "kākau" ka pili ia o ka "tattoo".
Coincidence. "Kākau" is cognate with "tattoo".

Nui huaʻōlelo Hawai'i, he kohu Kepanī ʻoe ke nānā aku.
A lot of Hawai'ian words look like they could be Japanese.

Where are our German-speakers? I am sure, that "in vier von fünf dieser Sprachen" is not right.
"in vier von fünf dieser Sprachen" ist vollkommen in Ordnung - ok, vielleicht würde "in vier von fünf von diesen Sprachen" umgangssprachlicher klingen - aber am Ende sollte "entstammt" stehen.
"in vier von fünf dieser Sprachen" is perfectly fine - ok, perhaps "in vier von fünf von diesen Sprachen" would sound more like everyday speech - but at the end, it should be "entstammt".

I like how the word for "write" in four of five of these languages comes from Latin.
(Alternatively: wie die Wörter für "schreiben" … entstammen

Why did I forget whether I was using the singular or the plural mid-sentence?

Ich weiß nicht, warum ich "benutzen" als ein starkes Verb konjugiert habe.
I do not know why I conjugated "benutzen" as a strong verb.

Pōʻalua "Momona" keia. Ua ʻai mākou i nā pączki ma ka hana. Ua oha ka ʻahahui poʻe hana i ʻeono kākini, akā hoʻi pau i ka lilo.
Today is Fat Tuesday. We ate pączki at work. The staff organisation ordered six dozen; even so they all sold out.

Ua kūʻai mai i ʻelua mea wale, hoʻokahi mea me ʻīkomo pukini a me hoʻokahi mea me ʻīkomo ʻapelekoka. Ua ʻai koke au i ka mea ʻapelekoka akā hoʻokoe au i kekahi. Manaʻo au e ʻai mahope aku, akā hāʻawi aku au iā kekahi kanaka.
I bought only two of them, one with a custard filling and one with an apricot filling. I ate the apricot one right away but I put aside the other. I intended to eat it later but I offered it to someone.

No wai? He hoa hana punahele. Ake nui noʻu e hoʻohui me ia, akā ʻena aku iaʻu. Ua hele mai ʻoia i ka lumi kope ma ka waihona puke i keia lā a hō aku au i ka mea momona. Ua inu ʻoia i kope hoʻohuʻihuʻi a kamakamaʻilio māua no ka manawa.
To whom? A favourite coworker. I've been longing to meet with him but he's shy. He came to the coffee shop in the library today and I gave him the sweet. He drank iced coffee and we chatted for a while.

Ki a au nei kāore rawa au i kai i te pączki - he rerekē atu tēnā i te doughnut?
I don’t think I’ve ever had a pączki before - are they different from doughnuts?

Kei te hari au i āwhina te pączki i a koe ki te kōrero me tāu hoa mahi.
I’m glad the pączki helped you talk to your coworker.

A pączek is a kind of doughnut. The dough is richer and they are frequently bigger.

Я только раз съел польский пунчик с тех пор, как я приехал в Чикаго. Жаль.
I've had a pączek only once since I moved to Chicago. A pity.
Я предполагаю, что едят пунчики только в Польше и в городах в Америке с большими польскими населениеми?
I suppose pączki are only eaten in Poland and in cities in America with big Polish populations?
Их нет ни на тихоокеанском северо-западе ни в Новой Англии, поскольку я знаю. До Чикаго я никогда не слышал о них.
AFAIK they don't exist in the Pacific Northwest nor New England. I had never heard of them before Chicago.

Das is het pronomen / voornaamwoord, dass is de conjunctie / het voegwoord*).
Das er stedordet, dass er bindeordet.
Das pronomen est, dass autem coniunctio.
Das est le pronom, dass est la conjunction.
Das è il pronome, dass è la congiunzione.
Das es el pronombre, dass es la conjunción.
Das jest zaimkiem, dass jest spójnikiem.
Das – это местоимение, dass – это союз.
Das je zamjenica, dass je veznik.
Das yra įvardis, dass yra jungtukas.
Das ἐστί ἡ ἀντωνυμία, dass δε ἐστί ὁ σύνδεσμος.
ضمیمه است dass ، ضمیر است das

Das zamirdir, dass birleşimdir.
Das – есімдік, dass – жалғаулық.
Das - olmosh, dass - bog'lovchi.
Das adalah kata ganti, dass adalah kata hubung.

Das is the pronoun, dass is the conjunction.

*) Question – what is more likely to be used, the Latin loan or the native coinages? In German, you’ll find the native coinages (Fürwort, Bindewort) in school contexts and popular texts (like style guides), but the Latin loans (Pronomen, Konjunktion) in university contexts or linguistic texts.

Jestem dość pewien że po polsku się jedynie nazwych polskich używa. Nigdy nie słuchałem nazywch łacinskich w kontekście gramatyki czyjegokolwiek języka kiedy studiowałem w Warszawie. Google Scholar tak samo myśli.
I am quite certain that in Polish you only use the Polish terms. I never heard the Latin terms in the context of any language when I was studying in Warsaw. Google Scholar says the same.

Chyba on po prostu nigdy nie zjadał żadnego do końca bo są zwykle raczej duże. =)
He probably just never finished one because they tend to be quite big =)

Żartuję. Aspekt czasownikowy to koszmar w językach słowiańskich.
I am joking. Verbal aspect is a nightmare in Slavic languages.
