{ka broda} cannot mean "salty" etc. "ti ka silna" means "this is a property of being salt", not "this is salty". You could make lujvo like {silnyvu'i} etc. Replacing gismu by lujvo is also possible, but then I guess you want to use more meaningful terms for other things too, like {fetre'a} instead of {ninmu} and {nalma'u} instead of {verba} and {nalma'ufetre'a} instead of {nixli} and maybe even {cmuvla} instead of {gismu}...mu'o mi'e ianekOn Wednesday, April 18, 2012 5:16:49 PM UTC+2, gleki wrote:I suggest optionally replacing existing gismu for tastes with more meaningful terms.? ka silna -saltytitla ka sakta - sweetslari ka slami - sourkurki ka cakla - bitterla'oi umami / ka rectu - umamise kurtsapi / ka mernta - minty/freshka tcati - dryka grasu - fattyka xalka - kokumi (alcohol included, so non-neutral)??? - numbness tasteka cpina - spicy
