Is that good enough?

It is.

Thanks

Hi again.

One more thing: can anybody please elaborate on how I should use LaTex as a tool or a typeset (?) of glossing.

Thank you.

Hi all.

Thank you for your advice. I'll try to improve my glossing skills.
I have made a sentence (also with glossing) in my signature:

tatan-ik bemasatska-s dedzen-ilik.
wind-VBZ 2DU-INCL be-FUT
Let us go forth.

So I could say: 一些馬吃了一些草 . A few horses ate some grass. You could. Don't expect a Pulitzer for it, but it's okay. [:)] Well, as a native speaker, this sentence seems a bit unnatural to me. Hence, no Pulitzer. XXXVII was/is trying to form sentences with the characters he is learning (a list of which...

Is "點" a measure word for grass? And how is 有 being used in that sentence? Can you give me a gloss or word by word translation there? The more literal the translation, the better! 1. About 點 Well, 點 cannot be said as a specialized measure word for grass, but instead for general things in ...

I just wanted to point out to XXXVII that using 女人 can be considered quite offensive. You may catch young girls mock-insulting each other with phrases like 你这个女人! but do note that you will not get away with the same, presuming you are male. Strangely, 女的 as in 来了一个女的 is often used as an informal wo...

So I could say: 一些馬吃了一些草 . A few horses ate some grass. You could. Don't expect a Pulitzer for it, but it's okay. [:)] Well, as a native speaker, this sentence seems a bit unnatural to me. First, you can use 有instead of一. Both have the same meaning. As for 吃了一些草, generally we don't say like that, b...

Hi everyone. Does anybody else use this only etymology dictionary? http://www.etymonline.com/ I think it is sometimes quite useful and can actually help in word-building. For example, the word 'good' is originated from PIE root *ghedh- "to unite, be associated, suitable". That's a kind of ...

I am building up my lexicon as well as developing the prefix system.

suicide: emf-oq_mfq_ ['melek-rebenekab] Formed by prefix emf-, derived from emfq_ 'man', denoting 'self-'; (FYI e is the symbol for earth, mfq is the second derivative of 'earth' in noun form) oq_mfq_, from oq_ and mfq_. oq_ stands for zero, for which the character o is the last non-element characte...
