…It’s probably full of errors, but I came up with an interesting translation challenge and then kinda got carried away.
The challenge relies on the idea that “You are Number Six” has a hidden comma after “are”—i.e. that Number Six is Number One. How, I wondered, could such a sentence be translated in to a language with a marked vocative? (Although it depends on how you translate “Number Six” to begin with, it’s almost certain you will be lacking an article in the vocative form.) After some deliberation I came up with the idea of using an appositive—which, due to free word order, looks like a predicate.
