I see. But you're saying below a certain level of fluency it's worth considering not calling them speakers, right? How is that different than saying below a certain level of fluency it's worth considering not calling them fluent speakers?

Wait pan isn't cognate with the romance words for bread?? plot twist of the century

feeling a bit confused reading this, I would have summarized your position expressed previously as "fluency is an arbitrary metric so we shouldn't care about how the term is used at all" whereas this sounds like "fluency is important and we should try to avoid misusing the term"

Interesting that DeepSeek understood "la" so well. Maybe because it has so much Chinese data from across the great firewall? I don't know Chinese, but it seems like it has a common "topic-comment" sentence structure analogous to "la", and it doesn't even require a grammatical particle inbetween.

one time I put chocolate milk syrup in cream of wheat and it was fire, this sounds much more sophisticated though

Sure but if there's more words to pick from you get to utilize subtle associations implicitly. You could call a tightly occupied room a can of sardines, a barren and imposing room a jail cell, etc.

epiku, kokosila, oko. kijetesantakalu is cute and silly but it bothers me a bit because it blurs the lines of a joke. like, imagine if Pingo was used frequently, kind of as a joke, but to the point where you also practically never saw tomo/ilo tawa (or similar)

oh yeah then fair! It's definitely more fun to use a variety of words when possible

if I say "kon nasa li moli ala e jan", how would you agree? to me "lon" here means "yes, your words describe something real". I'm not sure there's always another word that unambiguously expresses agreement to certain complex propositions
