leme ≈ to affect

atomic halo
#

i have an artists soul i get leme'd by everything

true patrol
#

a a

atomic halo
#

leme is like transitive pilin but as a word

remote junco
#

yeah

#

most of the words are coined by me but jan Kali and soweli Noneko work on their own good chunk of words

#

so far we don’t even have a fourth contributor
someday though… maybe

atomic halo
#

its important that we were in on it from the start so we have a better grasp on the baseline i think

remote junco
#

oh yeah that reminds me, numbers

atomic halo
#

we started sigka'ing and then it makes it progressively harder for anyone else to sigka'i

remote junco
#

I need to write down all of my gisi pagkan ideas

atomic halo
#

playground tonite?

#

oh right the sheet

remote junco
true patrol
#

do yall go in call to discuss these ideas?

atomic halo
#

nah we just do it in text

#

here's all the words we have btw the sheet is the most up to date lipu

remote junco
#

yeah

#

it doesn’t have much grammar support as far as I know but in regards to lexicon it’s the go-to

atomic halo
#

yeah i think the sona.pona page is a better format for grammar

true patrol
#

awesome ill be taking a look then 🙂

atomic halo
#

kanesu Saki(Sake?Saka?Seki?) tbh

true patrol
#

question

remote junco
#

the stupid idea for a subheader in the grammar section came into my mind
“How do I pi?”

true patrol
#

is the s’ ejective

#

anu ala

remote junco
#

ideally it’s just x/s?/

strong tartanBOT
atomic halo
#

kind of a paka kanesu

remote junco
#

but I’ve seen x[h?] be suggested before for assimilation

atomic halo
#

i do think it's not ideal to add x and f just for assimilation purposes (does anything besides nasals even get assimilated normally)

#

that was like a "joke concept that gets explored to its ends just to see what happens"

#

i love doing those

remote junco
#

fair

atomic halo
#

oh yeah nesku pagkan ka ka nonex Has reportedly made a lipu about it, it told me to remind it to post when it wakes up

#

reapings from the gisi revision form probably

#

that makes it sound so formal a a

chilly urchin
#

God yeah hi. It's not a complete evolution of the semantic spaces but like. A small analysis of what we have. It'll take me a bit to post cuz tbh I am like. Experiencing Things rn

#

remote junco

I made it up right here

chilly urchin
#

o pali e nali/ni = open

remote junco
#

lonnnn

#

open popen

#

like o pali

#

op = open popen = o pali e ni (p)o pali e ni

#

chilly urchin
#

open popen 😭

chilly urchin
#

Ok WOW

#

I severely underestimated these tweaks and shit

#

There is so much to analyze

chilly urchin
#

This is so fucking muchj and I feel like I may have not covered Everything on account of could have forgor

#

LLON ! !! !

#

atomic halo
#

this is so lipu

#

will check later

#

ill be happy to restate what i said about musi and paka and stuff but im in the middle of something rn

chilly urchin
#

Yeah dw !!!

remote junco
#

ke is not a priori smh

#

it’s literally from the Vietnamese word cờ

chilly urchin
#

? did i put it in the a priori section

#

ah fuck i did

#

Although i think it was in the context of "it's a priorit because it doesn't exist in tp"

remote junco
#

hm

#

namunen being wear and tear ka ka hmm yeah I did define it this way; perhaps it can fully focus on the more pakala meaning of it. perhaps we can make writing be like an intentional namunen

#

I noticed the note on menu being confusing

#

talk more about that to me

chilly urchin
#

Is menu supposed to be a jan equivalent?

#

Or jan-like

#

Or sapient

#

Because there's a difference between the three

#

Like if we want to apply it to the concept of a Human Being then that's one thing. (But I don't thikn that was intended). If we talk about humanoid things then the definition isn't just human being. Mae NITW would be menu but not smaug. But then it also includes sapient which kind of throws me off too

#

Because then everything is menu and it just falls under category of being animal?? Or maybe the dictionary definition is confusing because it presents them as different concepts

remote junco
#

sapience is usually contrasted with sentience

#

sort of like the quality of having or approaching human cognition or higher

#

perhaps I have read too many Brandon Sanderson books where this concept does come up often to toy with the concept of humanity and alike a bit

#

he has a lot of sapient beings that aren’t really completely physically human (so not like Tolkien’s elves, dwarves, etc.) but have a lot of human qualities regardless (humanoid-ish build (though one of the examples I am thinking of is very amorphous!), complex language, abstract thinking/reasoning, etc.)

#

menu is an anthropocentric word essentially

atomic halo
remote junco
#

but not necessarily Homo sapiens sapiens exclusive

atomic halo
#

yeah i figured menu was the "okay guys no more arguing over whether the ijo headnoun person counts as jan. all menu now"

remote junco
remote junco
chilly urchin
#

ohhh ok nods

#

so Smaug can be menu

remote junco
#

yeah!

chilly urchin
#

nods

remote junco
#

mae would theoretically be more menu perchance, has more human qualities

#

menu to pukis/‘askalis scale when

#

(well they can overlap lol)

chilly urchin
#

no she's a lape ike (her eyes reflect this)

atomic halo
#

im the menu pukis they warned you about

remote junco
#

menu ka nesku ‘uge si ‘askalis

chilly urchin
#

I feel like the animal descriptors are more aobut the qualities exhibited

remote junco
#

fair

chilly urchin
#

whereas menu is more about the sapience exhibited + how anthro

remote junco
#

menu is also another exhibited quality descriptor tbh

#

archetypically it could be humans, but like it’s not limited to that in many ways

atomic halo
#

smaug is menu the way tree bark is pukis

remote junco
#

a statue of a human being would be more menu than one of a skunk

chilly urchin
remote junco
#

maybe just in form though so I’d probably do like [sijelo] menu

atomic halo
#

nods sagely

chilly urchin
#

yeah

atomic halo
#

a kiwen menu

atomic halo
# atomic halo ill be happy to restate what i said about musi and paka and stuff but im in the ...

ok so this la btw

  • musi: we were discussing how musi means both humor and art, because i was trying to figure out if art could be within the domain of leme // we ended up with yes because humor is specifically a leme pona while art is just like. All leme // this also probably means we don't need a distinct word for musi anymore i love calling art gisi leme
  • paka: when a ball moves its inertia is the sagke because it's like the internal propelling force, while the kinetic energy it produces while moving + the movement itself is paka. paka isn't strictly wind, it means more like motion; it's just that wind feels a lot like the essence of motion
chilly urchin

nodz

atomic halo
#

also my latest ruminations on pagkan:

#

yeah i love grue. yeah i love fresh and new

#

right now we have grass and weeds in there too but that was kind of like

#
  1. i wanted to talk about grass and i used pagkan for it and i was like ok yeah
  2. it's green guys.. it's pagkan
#

i wouldn't mind migrating grass somewhere else but i def also think it's not out of place

final frost
#

paka la
sorry i know nothing still threads and forums should allow pins and searching and go to first post button imo

atomic halo
#

foliage can do whatever it wants maybe it can be tree lili and not pagkan

atomic halo
#

SUCKS ASS

final frost
#

lichrelly

chilly urchin
#

i just think the definition of what it is is kind of nebulous

atomic halo
#

nods

chilly urchin
#

but i like it as like

#

little green + new things

#

pagkan was also like sin right

atomic halo
#

ya!!

chilly urchin
#

nods

#

menu pagkan -> new person or gumby

final frost
#

toki pona la grass li kasi ike e e e LAWNS ARE EVIL

atomic halo
#

the sin analogy is from my vietnamese mind where calling unripe fruit green becomes metaphorically calling other new things sometimes green

chilly urchin
#

lawns are suck if u monoculture them

#

grow little fruits

#

IMMEDIATELY

final frost
atomic halo
#

oh for real?

final frost
#

it like... is vaguely sitting in the edge of my mind. but msa

chilly urchin
#

yeah in spanish there's also a construction like that

#

from the dictionary

atomic halo
#

oomf i can't read this yet💔

final frost
#

i MIGHT be thinking of greenhorn

chilly urchin
#
  1. Said of a group of years in life: Corresponding to infancy and youth
  2. Said of something: that it is in its beginnings and is still missing a lot to be perfected
  3. Said of a person: Not expert and unprepared
final frost
#

but that's more cowboy american

atomic halo
#

YEAH!! we do the green thing to say inexperienced especially

chilly urchin
#

i am so green at vietnamese

atomic halo
#

i added the budding thing but then i was like "no... too specific.. activating my calque neurons" so i simplified it to just fresh and new

final frost
#

are y'all collecting your gisi gisi fermentations anywhere

chilly urchin
#

yeap

#

elt me get it

chilly urchin
#

I need to say something about ka though: it needs 2 be hella updated

remote junco
chilly urchin
#

dude dats the guy from mha

remote junco
#

so basically green = new is a pretty cross-cultural thing I’m noticing

#

sounds like a good thing to have in gisi gisi tbh

#

I like the color words meaning stuff other than colors

#

same with numbers meaning more than numbers

#

wan and tu are dope ass shit

chilly urchin

remote junco
#

remembering my semi-joking nimi sin le which is basically for 3, triangles and anything triangular and comes from the Ainu word for 3

atomic halo

but I hope you catch my drift I just don’t have any languages that aren’t already being known to contribute :(

#

chilly urchin
#

Hehehe it's ok

remote junco
#

I should start learning Vietnamese tbh

#

I’ve been thinking about it for a while

chilly urchin
#

You should....

#

It's so

#

Looks back at my convo with kai

remote junco
#

where I live there are a lot of both Vietnamese- and Spanish-speaking immigrants

#

well also Brazilians but like I run into Way more Spanish speakers here

atomic halo

were actually the spirit of vietnamese and spanish immigrants taking form on your computer

Tiếng Việt tuyệt vời

chilly urchin
#

Why it look like that

atomic halo
#

honestly. so irresponsible!

remote junco
#

this is like borderline unreadable and boring at the same time

chilly urchin
#

Like idk this doesn't tell me anything

#

Mayube if I learnt about it more

#

But like idk

#

When there's a latin script used and it just looks Strange like this it'ws like

I don’t really know what this says tbh

but just looking at the system makes me feel kind of uninspired

#

Commit to something ig (channeling my inner biphobic rn)

remote junco
#

inner biphobic dineicjsnxjjaak

chilly urchin
#

Like make it look different enough or something but this is like ipa symbols with some swanky letters

atomic halo
#

tbhh

#

she could never be inh anh ong

chilly urchin
#

nh

atomic halo
#

coda nh which is pronounced ŋ

chilly urchin
#

so brave of her

atomic halo
#

actually i change my answer she is also ɲ idk im being native speaker exposed to the horrors rn

chilly urchin
#

Yeah I was like erm

#

she is ñ

atomic halo
#

you kind of dipthongize the vowel into an i before every -nh so it ends more comfortably as a palatal than a velar

#

LOL im just used to being like "oh English -ing is just like vietnamese -inh like you pronounce them exactly the same!"

#

because like it is a good enough approximation to explain to other people learning english i think

#

with anh it's definitely a palatal but with inh its just like. either or i don't really notice a difference Externally

chilly urchin
#

nods

what's the plus diacritic again

chilly urchin
#

I like have 2 specifically learn Northern Dialect because of u

#

/pawesome

atomic halo
#

HAHAHA IM SORRYYY

chilly urchin
#

It's ok all I ask in return is u don't learn Spain Spanish

atomic halo
#

every day i open the duolingo voiceline and she says edzha and JOsé to me like a wicked siren

chilly urchin
#

I mean

#

Ella is kinda edzha

#

But

#

nnnghmhnhm not really idk

#

It's not eja

#

It's like a petite twink dz

#

But duolingo is weird

atomic halo
#

she's a super soft edzha like an eja that got just a little too close to the palate

#

the north actually is where the capital is btw and its considered like the more "formal" accent

#

some people here like discriminate against other parts of the country because we think they're Poor and Slimy and Conniving

chilly urchin
#

?????????? the ufck

atomic halo
#

because like. 50 or so ethnicities and there's a single majority one you know how it is

chilly urchin
#

Ig it's the same here kinda but not really

#

Some parts are just considered like that but they're scattered

atomic halo
#

it's also like. a lot of the other parts is mountaineos regions we love our mountains

#

so afaik the big cities down there are along the shoreline primarily

#

they teach you the southern accent i guess because like. it's kind of established that the northern accent is the Formal one that you hear on the news while the southern accent is the accent of the people

#

barring any dialectical differences notherners can understand southern accent well enough

#

that's not what that's called.

#

any dialect differences

chilly urchin
#

nods I see

#

I should learn the southern acccent at some point too just so I know more than u

atomic halo

they have [j] over there it's sooo scary

Afuera....

She went outside and felt breezy tbh

remote junco

#

oh that reminds me I need to look up the etymology of birria

#

ah yes it comes from the Latin word for boar and it means garbage slop

chilly urchin
#

😭

remote junco
#

also afuera comes from fuera which in that context meant the exact same thing

#

yo fuera fuera

chilly urchin

Although for me it's more common to say afuera

Except for when it's the funny "scram"

DKJBHDJBHGVBD

atomic halo
#

is boletes anything btw i realized i was conjugation a noun then decided to keep it

chilly urchin
#

Well

#

Boleto is ticket
And boleta is also a type of ticket (can also be a bill or a slip)

#

So bolete is clearly the mnissing gender neutral

#

Also ig if you said "boletees" it would be the present 2nd person singular subjunctive

#

Of "boletear" but that's not a verb outside of like south america from what I just looked up

Yeah but it's still irrealis :J

do mexicans use 'de veras'

aw i thought it was just a cuban thing

chilly urchin
#

I was actually explaining this to Ka'i the other day snickers like this -> :3c

remote junco
#

a veces: sí o no

wicked hedge
#

de veras is like the one thing that got passed down from my cuban family that's not a swear word

chilly urchin
#

We do have our own unique way of saying "de veras" whych is "neta"

wicked hedge
#

well also the pronunciation sometimes but like

#

in terms of vocabulary

remote junco
wicked hedge
#

everything but de veras and a whole lot of swears is either bolivian or learned here

wicked hedge
#

mother and aunt were raised in new york, spoke spanish at home

#

but they wanted to assimilate their kids

#

so they spoke to them only in english

#

spanish was reserved mostly for two things:

#
  1. when they wanted to speak without my dad and cousin understanding them
#
  1. swearing a lot, while not teaching their kids english swear words
#

oh there is a third one
speaking to their mother

#

but that's not important

#

but yea #2 kind of failed

#

because instead of not learning swear words my dad now uses spanish swear words all the time

#

including in front of his children

#

and now i use them

chilly urchin

chilly urchin
#

So what insults are cuban twirls hair

remote junco
#

I want to consult my ¡Mierda! book now

wicked hedge

my dad mostly uses coño, carajo, and mierda
and then for extra swear power he'll say coño carajo or p*ta mierda

the one swear that is censored

i've seen it censored before

BDJSBJFNSN ah yes, “he (she)” my favorite gender neutral pronoun

chilly urchin
#

What !!

remote junco
#

that’s a new one for me

remote junco
#

this edition of this book was first published in, well… at least 1990

#

before people really grasped that singular they existed

#

normally I see “he/she” so this is a new level of failed neutrality

#

probably a compromise between generic he and neutrality

#

to use an example of what this looks like from the book: “He (she) struck me (figuratively) as a big pain in the ass”

chilly urchin
#

You have to love how it's not He/she, but He (bubbled woman)

remote junco

which is true, this choice of pronoun formatting does strikes me figuratively as a big pain in the ass

i would start writing some little semantic space snippets for my words were my laptop keyboard not broken rn

'alapa fits well as kon from what I've seen

but like

#

Perhaps even more abstracted ??

#

Like unseen primarily

#

essence

atomic halo
#

i think of it like the abstract side of kon sectioned off

chilly urchin
#

Yeah

atomic halo
#

it arguably has a bit of len in it but probably not in All cases

#

because like. i remember we played with ka 'alapa to mean behind?

atomic halo
#

but 'alapa also means transparent materials, because the materials themselves are unseen, not the thing behind them

remote junco
#

yeah

atomic halo
#

so that kind of interacts weirdly with 'alapa's hypothetical len side

chilly urchin
#

Yeah

#

Well no

#

Not really

#

'alapa is the act of hiding but it's not the hider

#

It's the hidee

atomic halo
#

then though i don't think "behind" is a good translation

#

or i guess hm the ijo would be the 'alapa side of it

#

ijo ka 'alapa len - the ijo is the hidden in this case, but what can be inferred about its relationship with the len?

iirc

we were just like "ok what about this though." and then did it a few more times

chilly urchin

ijo ka 'alapa len sounds like "Thing hidden by relationship with the thing" at first, but like

#

I do see how it could be the other way around maybe ?? NMmmmm no

#

I think ka takes what's to the right and applies it to the left right

#

like nesku ka sagke sigka'i is "thing of expansion power" not "thing that expands the power"

#

Just say nesku 'i sigka'i ka sagke

#

dfor that

atomic halo

X ka 'alapa Y where X is the unseen side of Y (we also used ka 'alapa as inside)

Ok I'll just look at the sheet again

‘upune (from Spanish oponer) — to oppose, to mirror, opposite, to complement, to fight (needs some compounding I think), roughly jasima + utala

I am going 2 be the first one to say this but do we feel like we're adding 2 many words from Spanish dlmakjnkjbhk

But I see....

clearly we need more words from English and then we’ll have mini!

remote junco
chilly urchin
#

can u put this in a sentence compounding

remote junco
#

idk I guess my point is that I feel like ‘upune is not Completely just utala, yknow?

#

utala is a component of coping/resolving with ‘upune essentially

chilly urchin
#

ahhh nods nods

remote junco
#

like for the kind of ‘upune you might not want

#

like that stupid bird you fucking hate

#

the ‘upune you would want would be like complementary

#

like me using blue with orange

#

or yin and yang

#

or a reflection in a mirror even!

#

ka ‘upune would ideally be like “against X”

chilly urchin
#

the grip "lo utala sina" has on u istg

remote junco

dhjsjdjd yeah

I mean what can I say, without it we would not have ka in the first place

and that’s arguably one of the most interesting things about gisi gisi to me right now

as for the more tame examples, hn, kusi 'i lus si 'upune > the machine is reflective

or the machine is built for reflecting light (mirror

menu 'upune - enemy, complement, narrative foil

#

gisi 'upune - echo, response

remote junco
#

i should say like, ‘upune could also refer to like “the better half of me” or something

#

like it’s not inherently a negative thing, but a lot of relationships with ‘upune, especially in the metaphorical sense, basically end up being that way

remote junco
#

like I placed a thing against another thing

#

if that makes sense

#

probably englishing too hard

atomic halo
#

nods sagely

remote junco

and when they’re unbalanced then an utala of sorts results to return to balance

if anything metaphorical balancing could be like a union of ‘upune, of sorts

literal balancing I guess too
