Katian/Vocabulary

Overview in this page you will find some explainations about the origin of a part of the katian vocabluary =Derivated from the combination of words= some of the katian words are made of other two words. for example: the katian word for dictionary is "kotofąhon" but its etimological origin is the combination of "kotofą" (word) and "hon" (book).
 * another example: the katian word for whiteboard is "baśanabla" but its etimological origin is the combination of the words "baśa" (white) and "nabla" (board).
 * another example: the katian word for watercolours is "nełipenti" but its etimological origin is the combination of the words "nełi" (water) and "penti" (paint).

=places derivated from verbs= to understand this method of derivation, we have to know some basic words which combined with verbs can make place words: With these words we can make two or three new words using a verb. for example: we will take the verb "midami" (to watch, look, see) and if we take out the "mi" at the end of the verb and replace it with one of the previously mentioned words. we will get three new words: as another example, we will take the verb "dabemi" (to eat). using the previously mentioned derivation method, we get three new words: as another example, we will take the verb "kaumi" (to buy). using the previously mentioned derivation method, we get three new words:
 * ima: room
 * ide: house
 * garden: park
 * mida+---
 * midaima: a cinema
 * midaide: a museum
 * midagarden: a landscape
 * dabeima: dining room
 * dabeide: restaurant
 * dabegarden: outdoors food
 * kauima: an aisle of a shop
 * kauide: a shop
 * kaugarden: outdoors shop

=place words derivated from adjectives= to understand this method of derivation, we have to know some basic words which combined with adjectives can make place words: With these words we can make two, three or four new words using an adjective. for example: we will take the adjective "ihąźi" (funny) and if we take out the "źi" at the end of the verb and replace it with one of the previously mentioned words. we will get four new words: as another example, we will take the adjective "ramaźi" (big). using the previously mentioned derivation method, we get four new words: as another example, we will take the adjective "lamaźi" (little). using the previously mentioned derivation method, we get four new words:
 * ima: room
 * ide: house
 * garden: park
 * zoni: zone
 * ihąima: arcade
 * ihąide: amusement park
 * ihągarden: a fun park
 * ihązoni: play courts (teniz ihązoni: tennis field)

 * ramaide: a skyscraper
 * ramagarden: a plain
 * ramazoni: a building lot
 * lamaima: an apartament
 * lamaide: a hut
 * lamagarden: the garden of a house
 * lamazoni: a neighbourhood

=personal words derived from verbs= to understand this method of derivation, we have to know a basic word which combined with verbs can make personal words:
 * paśu: person (for making new woerds, we just use the sylable "pa" but we need to know why)

The job of this word is commonly to form the job, the role, and other kinds of people.
 * WARNING: these words can also be describing animals, plants, minerals or machines. but they all use this method to describe its role.
 * WARNING 2: when the described is not a person, its is used as an adjective noun before the described object. when it is a person, zou just use the personal word.
 * here we have a few examples to get different things. a job, a role, and another one. they all come from verbs and are pretty easy to learn:
 * EXAMPLE 1: banhemi = to rule
 * banhepa: ruler
 * EXAMPLE 2: yogami = to play
 * yogapa: player
 * EXAMPLE 3: babemi = to drink
 * babepa: drinker

=personal words derived from nouns=
 * This method is similar to the previous one but the only difference is that they come from other noun words like tralo (lectucce) or magompy (carrot). to get a lot of new words for people.
 * This method is also used to get the nationalities from the countries. By the way, the countries in katian were derived from the way they are said in their language. un less they can be translated here we have 10 countries:

from these ten countries we can do the nationalities for those counties but I will just use three of them in two examples: =USEFULL PHRASES=
