A self-referential ‘sentence’.

Probably not translatable into Russian or other zero-copula languages :)

Ummm.... In Russian we can make an absolutely grammatical sentence without a verb. In this sense, the sentence is untranslatable indeed. :-)

Yes, exactly! The Russian sentence would not convey the same sense of oddity.

Hm what's the point of adding sentences that nobody would say? Isn't Tatoeba's goal exactly the opposite?

Even though, it's sort of funny, I'd suggest this correction, or deletion.

FROM:
This sentence no verb.
TO:
This sentence has no verb.

I managed to give it 2 verb-less translations, though, that natives could say...
