"And Yiddish doesn't have a subjunctive mood." Interesting. I didn't know that. Of course, that's translation for you. What'cha gonna do? A literal translation of Nina's most famous line in The Seagull would be "I gull." (One reason why it's been translated as "I'm a seagull," "I'm the seagull" and "I'm a gull." And maybe "I'm the gull," but I haven't come across that one.) A literal translation of the play's title would be Gull. The bird in the play isn't even a seagull.
