badly expressed I need an adjective, which is not very common, to express something said or written is not correct in the sense that it doesn't sound adequate. Some of you have used this word when what foreigners write is not right. Thank you

"That sentence sounds..." "...unnatural." "...not quite right." "...too formal."

Your question is not really clear enough for me to answer.Can you give me a full sentence with what you want to say and then I can correct it for you.
