"Curt". Example sentence:
Didn't you take care of this already? (IM'd to a coworker.)
Is there an attitudinal (or combination) for this? I suppose "ga'i"
might work, maybe "e'ega'i". And how would the opposite go, to
disclaim curtness? (Over IM, you can't use tone of voice, of course.)
I'd like an attitudinal that mean "I don't know, but"--something like
".uanai", but not quite, because ".ua" is "discovery", not
"knowledge". And I suppose a simple "ga'inai" or "ga'icu'e" would do
the trick.
