Re: Using nouns as verbs (and vice versa)

Not necessarily any language. My last ex was commenting on how changing a word's category is nearly impossible in Spanish - it simply wouldn't make sense. I would think it would be the same in any romantic language.

We went back to it a few times, trying to figure out how it might work and decided you would have to redefine, reconjugate or create whole new conjugations, and wait several generations for it to stick.

I wasn't expecting the word to be completely unchanged in all languages. (Heck, even in english you need to change it a bit.) So what you just admitted is that's it's possible to do, you just can't use the exact word. You just need to alter it a bit.

It's more casual in English. The difference we found is a prolonged, complicated transformation vs. using the noun as the verb. It's the difference between saying, "I'm writing" and, "I am writing a paper now (for a short/long period of time)," with all the tenses, articles, and conjugations.
