But for insurance when I’m speaking Finnish, if I had a tourist in front of me with a phone trying to speak Finnish (which I wouldn’t, because I do speak other languages but anyway), I could decide to speak clearly and without much dialect or slang so that the MT won’t be horrible.
But if instead I’m like fucking with a Russian online, I can use such slang that translators don’t even get near the correct translation.
