Common Kai first
Advanced work may compare technical, poetic, symbolic, and sacred choices. Start with exact Common Kai: the claim, condition, cause, request, or definition must be recoverable before register analysis.
- Write the literal Common Kai sentence first.
- Label technical, poetic, or sacred pressure separately.
- Do not make legal, medical, safety, or practical instructions poetic.
spaced review
grammar return practice
Start here before the new lesson work. These earlier patterns are deliberately returning in a later lesson.
Advanced Unit 02: Modality, Ability, Permission, Obligation, and Possibility
Use the pattern in a short dialogue, paragraph, translation, or project answer without looking back.
- advanced modality
- choosing plain Common Kai over compressed English modal verbs
- conditional and counterfactual modality
- embedded modality with va
- English can may must should might disambiguation
- explicit permission requests with ma vari
- modal questions
- modal scope
- negated modality
- prohibition with ma sha
- separating desire, need, ability, permission, obligation, advice, and possibility
Advanced Unit 04: Argument, Opinion, Evidence, Uncertainty, and Disagreement
Use the pattern in the review, assessment, project, or capstone evidence for this course.
- agreement and disagreement with sainel and sha e sainel
- argument as claim reason support and response
- avoiding escalation from disagreement to falsehood
- careful use of evidence through seeing hearing text and examples
- conclusion with liri
- contrast with ri
- falsehood with shanel
- opinion framing with mi li lune va
- polite challenge with mi el sile ti
- reason with na
- repair requests with ma rallune and mi el nive yelo
- reported claims with va
- true statement with nelo
- uncertainty with anvai and an-vai
Advanced Unit 05: Translation Workshop from English into Common Kai
Mix this pattern with the current lesson's main form so retrieval happens in a new context.
- be as e or relation
- Common Kai layer before inner reading
- complexity reduction
- compound choice versus borrowing
- English that as va or sio
- have as te na or en
- idiom handling
- meaning before English grammar
- modal disambiguation
- question transformation
- register-safe translation
- relative clauses with va
- revision checklist
- safety medical and legal directness
- tense as aspect and time words
- translation workflow
Advanced Unit 06: Technical Speech, Loanwords, Definitions, and Register Control
Use the pattern in the review, assessment, project, or capstone evidence for this course.
- Common Kai versus Technical Kai versus Poetic Kai versus Sacred Kai
- exact symbols in technical text
- loanword sound adaptation
- native compound versus loan decisions
- register correction
- rejecting seed words in learner lessons
- revising unclear technical definitions
- safety medical legal and software directness
- scientific law versus human law
- status labels
