unintentionally impose some of their OLD-SOUNDING patterns
dažbrīd nejauši uzspiež savus vecmodīgos paņēmienus


Explanation:
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(s):
  • 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


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