i was going through my wordlist for Minyeva, making antonyms for words that
didn't have any yet. I came across a couple words that i wanted antonyms
for, but i realized that no suitable simple english antonyms existed, that
were a simple/common root:
regretful vs. glad?
- votse = sorry (adj), regret (verb & noun), remorse (noun) (plenty of words
here)
- zetcu = glad? (only faintly implies happiness about a past event or
action) (no suitable words here)
tasty vs. bad-tasting?
- plusa = tasty, delicious, yummy (plenty of words)
- kakco = bad-tasting, unsavory (no suitable simple words here)
