Some notes on words and ideas tried in recent conversations:

• Sentence structure seems to be mainly «subject» «verb» «object» order like English.
• ¿question? – Spanish-style question marks to indicate a sentence is a question. Helps make the language visually distinctive from both Japanese and Chinese.
• ¡exclamation! – Similar to above, but for exclamations.
• «quote» – esp. for a non-愛島言 word or explaining a term (e.g. «chili», «breakfast sandwich», «the recent past»)
• 「quote」-- Japanese/Chinese-style quote brackets – esp. for quoting an 愛島言 term or expression. (e.g. when you need help figuring out what a word means)
• ゐゝ – Neato/nice/good (slang; ゐ is an archaic Japanese hiragana, wi, usually pronounced more or less the same as い now – i.e. ee sound. ゝ is the hiragana repetition mark. Tossed 'em in here for fun.)
• 分心 – understand
• ね – ya know/right? (sentence ending)
• 文法 – grammar (I made a typo – 文保 – before when borrowing from Japanese, but suggest replacing that…)
• 機 – machine
• 愛言機 – AI/LLM (punny… 😑️)
• 眠 – sleep
• 病 – sick/illness/health problem
• 無好眠 – tired (poor sleep)
• 無眠病 – insomnia
• 写档 – drawing
• 新 – new
• 新写 – edit (e.g. when describing how you updated a comment)
• 近時 – recently (could be read as “soon” though – how to distinguish?)
• 過去 – past
• 未来 – future
• 食過去 – ate (Maybe we can use 食未来 for “will eat”? Might be interesting to experiment with use of 了 for completion of an action too but this is unexplored at time of writing.)
