on the other hand ...

remote junco
#

taso is sort of a merger of two separate things

remote junco
#

I think ‘ispi and ‘upune have some similarity in terms of having some kind of focus related to another thing

#

but ‘ispi likes to single out something within that other thing, and ‘upune likes to describe some sort of opposite to that other thing

atomic halo
#

lon....

#

i always did find taso-but weird to like. figure out the thought process of but i just went with it because it was convenient a a

remote junco
#

yeah

#

although it does make more sense if you think about the nasin where taso can be analyzed as a content word meaning like, “alone”

#

“but …” is sort of an exception to something

#

it’s kind of alone from a context in that way

#

there’s different ways you can approach metaphoric ideas of “but …”

remote junco
#

≈ “Normally I eat fruit, but today I’m eating meat.”

#

there’s a typical thing, and then there’s an exception that’s sort of alone, isolated from this habitual context

#

now of course you could also analyze but as an opposition to this context

#

there’s a typical thing, and then there’s this thing that contradicts that habitual context

#

I like gisi gisi it makes me think harder about things just like toki pona

remote junco
atomic halo
#

gisi gisers realizing jasima la true potential

remote junco
#

because you could just say like “I’m eating meat” and then someone could be all n lon la on you and got “but you usually eat fruit”

#

“yeah, but today I’m eating meat”

atomic halo
#

lon..

remote junco
#

a lot of contextual opposition with this example

kepus (from Tagalog tapós “completed, finished”) — to end, to die, to complete, to finish, destination, result, consequence, death, to cease, to stop

#

ka kepus X would be like “to achieve X”

‘uge ‘i keles si sili ka kepus [moku pona] ≈ I fermented the carrots to make good food

remote junco

well more seriously we often squabble about notability of words like aAANUSEMEmailMahjong

which was finally banished from the wiki thanks to jan Tepo’s mind being polluted with jan Sepika

kalo is the Hawaiian word for taro

I was considering diphthongs for gisi gisi but decided against it

i believe in 'ales supremacy

remote junco

perhaps that was a bad idea question mark

if we add diphthongs were literally never using the glottal stop ever again

rather than it's in a process then it concludes

thinking about the circumstances in which death could be a magi

#

not sure which ones. that's why im wondering about them

#

if you're talking about someone's presence in your life they may be magi

#

but from the dying person's perspectives they're more kepus

#

because like ohhh ivelived a good life or something

#

but in the same way when youre talking about how everyone in your life ever will die because that's how it Works it may be kepus

their presence in your life is a process that will end

actually that makes a good question

can 'upune verb mean like. the subject causes the objects to oppose

it's like mi utala e ona > either i fight them or i cause them to fight

#

the wonders of verb transformation

#

hm.. to battle something can also be analyzed as to make that thing your opponent

#

this kind of happens with some tp verbs like mi moku e ijo > i make it food > (likely) i eat it

#

or the kepeken't way of mi ilo e ijo > i make it a tool > (likely) i use it

#

the moku case can also be > i eat it > (very likely) i make it food

#

but at that point it probably stops mattering

#

because afaik the like word form transformations in the first place are more like observations of patterns rather than hard rules

what did you intend to say

azure gulch

"i feel this:
pispis (should become a) new word in gisi gisi"

atomic halo

aa

#

i was reading it like "i affected this" like pispis caused me to start fervently working on the google sheet a a

#

gisi can be used for think!

#

gisi is like. "expression, meaning, inner monologue" and ive used it for concept or thought a few times

azure gulch
#

ah yeah true

#

i guess its bcz im more used to using "pilin" instead of "toki" for thought

#

so i do the same for gisi gisi

atomic halo

gisi makes me joyous because i already want to use toki more that way, like. idea wrapped up into a single Thing

oh right so my ruminations so far on leme (we haven't toyed with it a lot because there's like. not much use for it when no pona or ike

balmy solstice
#

pispis!!!

atomic halo
#

the base idea on it is transitive pilin like a word that means Affect instead of feeling

#

so you can say youre being leme'd by fatigue or a really bright light or a poem

#

a menu leme could be someone with a lot of presence or someone whos sensitive

#

and uhhh when we get more words ill try to futz around with leme for more sensory stuff

#

'ispi 'i [kute] 'uge si leme or something

azure gulch
#

i already forgot my proposal for visual stuff

#

but i remember sounds/ear/hearing i suggested 'e'o

i think a while back there was a sona kulupu suggestion for a separate nimi for ear and i also suggested eto

耳朵 is just such a fun word for no reason

i couldnt find it oomfie

mucentric

atomic halo
#

kute la, you can keep kute for hear, thinking leme kute could be the experience of hearing sound and 'alapa kute could be like. the sound itself for more objective not sensory based talk of sound

kalama la, you have kalama. an ear can be a kusi kalama if you so desire

atomic halo

eyes are just kutes for visuals

okay i know this is stupid but

'e'u also for the meaning "only" what thinks

no i do not understand why they used this character specifically yes it is very funny

TRUE???!

isn't that like ear or something idk
