Well, in Sakatda Ka Kadomo, i havent figured out how to go about doing
vulgarities, but since its based off of Tagalog somewhat, i suspect the
vulgarities would center around: Impotency, not getting any, and general
insults about ones mother being of easy virtue. (like most natlangs do).
Gee...if i really want an interesting way of getting the vulgarity, i
guess i will have to build a conculture to see how i could construct the
vulgarities.
Oh yeah i figured a way of saying "mental masturbation" in Sakatda:
bantiwa ka gansangyod hatpa - bantiwa = mental or pertaining to the mind.
+ ka = adjective / adverb linker + gansangyod = to pleasure (in object
focus) + hatpa (oneself). I used the object focus because the subject in a
reflexive sentence also is the reciever. So, the focus is on the reciever
of the action.
