KANGURU #6

Closed johnbent closed 2 years ago

johnbent commented 2 years ago

Someone asked me to add KANGURU for kangaroo. This seems silly. I don't think we should add every English word with a Palauan pronunciation and spelling. If folks think otherwise, please let me know. But otherwise I am not planning to add this.

Correct. It is not necessary to add every English word used when a Palauan speaker code-switches. No need to add kampiurer and cheirtaim, for example.

I was reading it as Japanese second to Souang and I was reading Cheirtaem cheritem. Belauan is going to be lost soon enough aye yi yi.

LOLOL @ kampiurer ma cheirtaem.

Should we add other things like "obaho" (overhaul)?

Agreed. It's not necessary.

smith-371 commented 2 years ago

hm... obaho and raichong are not so obvious, like kanguru

johnbent commented 2 years ago

@s-o-u-a-n-g , it's a great point that subjective is obvious. I think @smith-371's comment contained an implied "to me". And, to me, obaho and raichong are also not so obvious. And maybe even words like cheirtaem which are heavily used should be added. kampiurer is 'computer' I guess? I'm still of the strong opinion that kanguru shouldn't be added. It's (to me) very obvious AND it's not a frequently used word at all.

Gnalu commented 2 years ago

There’s Raichong in palauan example text with the English version so it’s covered.
