Yes, kind of, German smurfish or french schtroumpfing consist in replacing some words in a sentence by "schlumpf" (in German) or "schtroumpf" (in French).
This is an universal semantic rule that can be applied to any language (even non existing languages).
In English, for instance, you would replace words with "smurf".
But careful, not every word can be replaced!
Mascha's sentence was just perfect.
Here is another perfect example:
"Mascha's smurf was just smurf".
Got it? Confused

I guess, it means that I don't understand this dialect? ;-)

J'te kif un max (french slang)
Idiom, cannot be translated literally in any other language except in schtroumpf.

Italian: Ti voglio bene.

In italian "ti voglio bene" has not the same meaning of "ti amo", is used also between friends and is rare to hear it.

japanese: Watakushi na anata o aishinasu

In japanese "I love you" is "aishiteimasu".
In japanese, if you can, you should omit the subject, i.e. if I'm saying "I love you" is obvious the subject it's me and it's referred to the person who hear me, so you can omit watakushi/watashi (I) and anata (you).
The correct pronunciation is without reading the u at the end.
