I wonder whether "(e.g. This phrase or sentence) sounds stilted" means "sounds awkward". Does "stilted" mean something else, like too pompous, stiff, formal?
What are some of the words that describe something that doesn't sound natural?
I mean something like "clunky". Can you say "It sounds tongue-tied"?
Thank you.
