I wanted to get people here to give the sentences a once over. i don't have them all ready- so feel free to recommend variations. The idea is to vary everything off our group's unofficial motto: "Remember that you live, remember that you will die" So here goes... .i do jmive .i do morsi you live, and you die .i do ca jmive .i do ba morsi you live now, and you will die .i ko morji .i do jmive .i do morsi remember! you live, and you die .i do jmive ku'i do ba morsi you live, however you will die .i do vriji'e ki'u do djuno nu do ba morsi you live bravely because you know that you will die .i lo virnu cu se jmive do bravery is the standard by which you live .i lo virnu cu seljmive do bravery is the standard by which you live (2) .i do na jmive .i do zasti you do not live, you exist .i do na vriji'e .i do to'e vriji'e you don't live bravely, you do the opposite of living bravely! .i ko vriji'e .ije do ba je'a vrimro live bravely! and you will indeed die bravely. .i ko'a ba morsi .i ku'i fo'a ba sisti zasti that one will die, however that one (2) will cease to exist .i ko pilno le do jmive le banli use your life for great things! .i lo morsi cu na toljmive .i lo zasti cu toljmive death is not the opposite of living, existing is the opposite of living So if you would be willing to check what I actually wrote against what I intended to write, as well as suggesting more variations. Again the idea is to include as many sentence variations as possible while sticking close to the thematic source and using similar words throughout to show the variations clearly. I currently have 13 of these. I am hoping to compile a total of 50 to use as a quizlet quiz. I would welcome any edit suggestions, corrections, variations, and new ideas.
