k1attack:nula = don't wantI was under the impression it meant "think" - I wouldna have a clue though.
Anyway, as Erinja said on the other thread, if this is to continue the discussion might need to be taken somewhere else off of Lernu's forums just so Lernu's servers don't get filled up with unrelated stuff
(krom se vi volas movi la conversacion en alian esperanton forumon ĉi (ekzemple, "Pri ĉio cetera"), se vi ĉiuj povas paroli Esperante bone.
~~~
unless you want to move the conversation into another Esperanto forum here (e.g. "About everything else"), if you can all speak Esperanto well)

k1attack:In a sence, Greyshades is right because if you turn around again and again you will never find something that satisfies you (like the horse that is at the same time hungry and thirsty and can't choose between drinking and eating, and finally die).Greyshades:Don't want to make this offensive or anything, but k1attack...Bon Toki.

But in an other way, I thing building a language is not a bad exercice at all for oneself.
K1attack: concerning bon toki, there might be a difficulty for some, due to clusters (consonnants that follows one another). epz: multi, atmos. I think a "tokiponization" of such words is welcome

ku is not the word for "work/do", that would be pa. ku/nuku is the new "li".
ku equals li in the positive form (to, for, because, at, on, inside, with)
nuku equals li in the negative form (of, from, out of, away, outside)
The reason this was done was to make less ambiguity of the root li.
Also "nu" doesn't mean "no" anymore, it strictly means "opposite", "reverse", or "anti-".
By the way, just like the old li, you still need to have ku/nuku between every word or the cluster of words may be misinterpreted as an adjective-noun clause.
For example:
Nani nula, nunani la ma ma makina ku puna na
would mean:
[a] linguistic vital emotional listening vital desirable primally young initial sensuous language good-linguistic speech.
It doesn't make sense because you didn't put ku/nuku to disconnect the words from forming into adjectives.

).I'm interested in the use of "nu" for "opposite" (lets just translate it to the EO mal). If we did this in Esperanto, I wonder if that could be used for negation in any way? E.g. "Cxu vi estas malpura?" "Ja mal." (if the person was clean).
I haven't heard it before, then again, I've never been talking to Esperantists en masse.
