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 01: Complex Clauses, Relative Clauses, and Embedded `va`
Use the pattern in a short dialogue, paragraph, translation, or project answer without looking back.
- avoiding over-nesting
- complex clause order
- direct versus indirect speech choices
- embedded statements with va after miri lune sailune and other cognition or speech predicates
- relative clauses with va after the head noun
- repeated heads and names for clarity
- reported content questions with question words inside the embedded clause
- reported yes-no questions with ya inside the embedded clause
Advanced Unit 04: Argument, Opinion, Evidence, Uncertainty, and Disagreement
Mix this pattern with the current lesson's main form so retrieval happens in a new context.
- 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 06: Technical Speech, Loanwords, Definitions, and Register Control
Before new material, explain the older pattern aloud and write one fresh Kai sentence with it.
- 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
- technical entry fields
- technical register
- term definition templates
