Re: mi namako
Well, if the relative clause is aimed at, you do need something more than 'ijo' -- just what is an issue. Unfortunately, 'kin' after the verb -- or in any other prespecified case -- will not always mean what 'kin la' means. But, for each use of 'kin la' there is, I think, a place where an internal '...

Re: pilin pi toki sin ala
Not quite the right structure. You have "If they say ..., then our ancestral language is dead," which is a little pessimistic (or gives a lot ofpower to the speakers). Better is "They sat ..." We do it. Still our language keeps dying" 'jan li toki e ni: o mi ale li sitelen ....

Re: mi namako
Hot damn! this is getting almost philosophical in its circularity and ad hocitude! I rather think that an Italian contract would be upheld in Wisconsin (where the legal languages are German -- including Schwitzerdeutsch -- Swedish, Norwegian and, as a last resort, English)(oh, and Finnish) only if i...

Re: Increased awareness of garden path sentences
tenpo li tawa sama palisa utala. kili jelo li pona tawa pipi kili. Well, it is disambiguating at least. Because the syntax is so much simpler, garden pathing is rarer in tp (I think) but often more embarrassing. The big offenders seem to be words like 'tawa,' which perform multiple functions in the ...
