Cur_固嚛訥 | So the insects referred to turn forests eco-systems into paradises. | 20:29:10 |
VIVIT | Does it mean he was searching for insects that make their natural habitat in a paradisical forest? | 20:29:41 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | * So the insects referred to turn forest eco-systems into paradises. | 20:29:20 |
VIVIT | * Does it mean they were searching for insects that make their natural habitat in a paradisical forest? | 20:29:51 |
VIVIT | Wait. | 20:30:25 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | Not by default, though if no other meaning could apply by context then sure. | 20:30:31 |
VIVIT |
So the insects referred to turn forest eco-systems into paradises.
| 20:30:41 |
VIVIT | I can't parse that sentence. | 20:30:50 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | Ob can only mean a logical filter, if a purpose-oriented meaning cannot apply. | 20:31:02 |
VIVIT | "The insects referred to turn forest eco-systems into paradises" | 20:31:24 |
VIVIT | Is there a word missing here? | 20:31:30 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | turn -> transform | 20:31:43 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | or perhaps terraform | 20:31:57 |
VIVIT | Okay. | 20:32:04 |
VIVIT | Referred -> ??? | 20:32:12 |
VIVIT | Are the insects speaking and making reference to something? | 20:32:33 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | referred to in the example sentence about the explorers. | 20:32:51 |
VIVIT | Oh, oh. | 20:33:17 |
VIVIT | So you meant "the aforementioned insects turn forest eco-systems into paradises". | 20:34:22 |
VIVIT | Okay. I was completely misparsing that sentence. | 20:34:35 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | I like that correction ☺️ | 20:34:55 |
VIVIT | I thought "to turn" was an infinitive. | 20:35:01 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | lol not a problem in esperanto | 20:35:18 |
VIVIT | Garden path sentence. "Violinist involved in plane crash blossoms." | 20:35:37 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | May I paste the your other questions here now? | 20:36:13 |
VIVIT | Not quite yet. | 20:36:28 |
VIVIT | "The explorers searched for insects ob a forest paradise." -> "The explorers searched for insects that forests paradise are of"? | 20:38:01 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | To clarify "evolving" or "making" I mean to index a vague sense of "that which in the mind justifies monopoly". | 20:38:16 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | In reply to @vivit-r:ma.neko.bar "The explorers searched for insects ob a forest paradise." -> "The explorers searched for insects that forests paradise are of"? YES | 20:39:16 |
VIVIT | Wait, what? Is that reference to some philosophy? | 20:39:16 |
