Usage Examples

"I intend to habitually record my utterances during my walks."

Notes


Issues

The sense of "habit" is commonly ignored in usage in favor of a more general word indicating that the event is common/normal/ordinary. Otherwise it would make little sense to use it for events that don't involve an agent. The difference between {ta'e}'s usage and the intended meaning of {na'o} is almost undistinguishable as things stand. Current usage has {ta'e} as {fi'o jai ze'a fadni} and {na'o} is almost never used.

cmavo: ta'enai (TAhE*)

Proposed Definition

Non-habitually. Subjective time tense. Indicates that the event occurs non-habitually over a certain interval. When taggin a sumti, the sumti specifies the interval.

.i mi ta'e nai na'e morji fi le selsne be mi gi'a na senva

General Section Issues

The question has been brought up, "What do these mean as tcita?". Our best guess so far has been the time during which the interval takes place. {.i broda ta'e lo brode} is {.i ta'e broda ca lo brode} (best I can explain). Note, this has actually NOT been covered in CLL. It does not state in Chapter 10, nor anywhere else in the book that I've found, that TAhE can actually be used as a tcita (it can, says machine grammar) or what it means semantically. - lindar
