Here is a very delayed Vocab 5. I finally decided that I may as well
send it partly completed, rather than spend forever agonizing over the
details.
--- Christopher Wright ha tera roha a:
>
> This is dedicated to the stereotypical vacation.
> 1. vacation
kurikosa
> I had two weeks of vacation.
uti ha ki noa iyomeo kurikosa a
I PAST have 2 PL-week vacation STATEMENT.
> 2. ocean
sani
> I went to the ocean.
uti ha ira ma sani a.
I PAST go to ocean STATEMENT.
(Wow!!! I had all these words already!!!)
>
> 3. rain
siri
> It rained a lot and was very cold.
roha ha noku siri ti ha tu noku hamu a.
it PAST much rain and PAST be very cold STATEMENT.
Does it make sense if I have one word that means
"much, many, very", depending what it's modifying?
That's what |noku| is currently, anyways.
> 4. market
nekoi
> The open-air market remained open, though,
ara kanakana nekoi ha yesoku tiira,
but outside market PAST remain open,
> and I had fun haggling.
ti uti ha nemoera mekoisa a
and I PAST enjoy bargain STATEMENT.
>
> 5. ripoff
mokiko
> I was the victim of many ripoffs, [to the amusement of the vendors.]
uti ha tu tesemo ro noku imokiko a.
I PAST be victim of many PL-ripoff STATEMENT.
> 6. drunk
> I became drunk on the obligatory tourist-unfriendly drink.
Skipping. Doesn't make sense for the kids who speak
Ikanirae Seru, and "obligatory tourist-unfriendly" is too
tough for me.
>
> 7. to vomit
houko
> I vomited profusely.
uti ha noku houko a.
I PAST much vomit STATEMENT.
> 8. temple
atayakasi (lit. god-house)
> I enjoyed <worshipping at | seeing> the many temples there.
uti ha nemoera koimu noku yatayakasi noya a.
I PAST enjoy see many PL-temple there STATEMENT.
>
> 9. money
> I ran out of money after a week and a half.
Skipping just because.
>
> 10. to return
=go/walk back: ira/siore hinaru
> I had to return on foot.
uti ha tuko siore hinaru.
I PAST must walk back.
>
> 11. blister
> I am covered in blisters.
Skipping just because.
> ~Wright
