Re: TRANS: Happiness

> "To find happiness, one should not seek it."
In Géarthnuns:

Öre chí sfalsít ba zvaun sho, feg lav fífít zhdar.

Öre       chí       sfalsít        ba    zvaun sho,
in.order the happiness-acc BA find(what.one.wants)SHO,

 feg lav fífít zhdar.
one-nom/neg present.impersonal it-acc/neg seek-hortative

Suffice it to say that "öre....ba...." works akin to German "um....zu....".
Normally, infinitive phrases don't take "sho" (a word used to mark the end
of subordinate clauses), but since it's been fronted and especially since
the sentence changes from affirmative to negative polarity, it sounds right
here. Maybe it's the fact that a verb directly precedes a noun that is
eliciting the separating "sho". Dunno.
