| A few questions about time... 1. eleven o'clock is la feicac. why not just say la papacac. Or is this acceptable too? I guess everybody would know what i mean anyway.... 2.li pare pi'e ni'u pamu Would everyone know I'm talkin about a time here? Is there some other way of translating this besides "11.45 "? Could this also be a number in itself? Hmm... now I write this, don't think so.. 3.li pare pi'e ni'u pamu can i also write: li pare ni'u pi'e pamu I guess everybody would understand if I did that. 4. li repa pi'e ze pi'e pasoxaso I guess the difference in knowing whether a string of numbers like that is a date or time, lies in the last number in this case 'pasoxaso'. Pasoxaso is 1969, so this should be a date. After all 21:07:1969 doesn't really exist as a time, we don't have 1969 seconds. But if there was written 'paso', it would have been a time and definitely no date. (Right?)(so we can't abbreviate dates to e.g. 21-07-69 ?) Thanks a lot! Cheers, Tom. |
