May 29, 2012 at 20:04 comment added SigTerm "English has articles" I think it'll be fair enough to exclude particles from total word count. "The cat is washing itself" One of the other reasons why I asked the question is because this particular sentence has slightly different meaning. If you copy-paste "кот умывается" into google image search, you instantly get picture of cat holding paw against face or washing face. However "cat is washing itself" returns you image of a cat that licks its hind leg in 2nd hit. Because in english cat can "make muffins", I suppose there should be also some other idiom (I'm not aware of) for face-washing.
