So for anime fans (like me
) it'd work ok because we practically speak in some Japanese pidgin language thing anyway, but it's colloquial usage, as it is with EO. Otherwise I could go "Oh dear, my already epistulae omae-ni menggoreng" which'd just confuse everyone (epistula = latin "letter", omae-ni = Japanese "to ya" and menggoreng = indonesian "fry" - I've already friend the letters to ya) ceigered (顯示個人資料) 2010年3月22日下午12:06:23
k1attack:You would probably know what I mean by "animeo", "mangao", "otakuo" or "kaŭajia", wouldn't you.Yeah for sure. Interesting though that you say "kauxajia" - while I'm not sure there is a true Esperanto spelling of it (although if EO does expand like English it will probably have the word "kauxajia" come into it to describe the Japanese art form), but that's the first time I've seen it esperanticised like that, and it looks very nice - I declare ye, K1attack, official neologism converter!

trojo:k1attack:A language without words for "airplane" or "helicopter" or "runway" can hardly become the international language of air-traffic control, nor can a language without terms for "cash register", "stock market", or "line of credit" ever become the international language of business.It's true as has been pointed out by K1attack that it is fine to create new words. And it is also true as pointed out by ceigered that the same is true for English or Esperanto. So there isn't really anything new per se. In actuality, no language in the world has a word for airplane more than a few hundred years ago, so it's not a real problem. In Neo Patwa, it is fine to use: fly machine (lele-ada) for plane, spin machine (heli-ada) and fast road (wiki-kamino) for runway.

k1attack:kaŭaja is probably a little better and easier to pronounce.Less similar to the original word - those who know the original word will find the pronunciation of something like "kaŭajia" very recognisable (and normally with adopting roots from other languages, EO either attempts to match the spelling or the pronunciation, and the spelling isn't possible in EO because we don't write in Japanese

k1attack:I think Neo Patwa should have something like the mal- prefix in Esperanto. In Esperanto, the -mal prefix could even be used before verbs: malfermi - to close; fermi - to open.I think there is one that can be used. The word anti can be used to mean opposite, so anti-aca (anti-good) could be the same as baya. And as an example with a term that doesn't exist, the term tumtum (heart) can also mean "core," so therefore anti-tumtum could mean "periphery."
