History: selbri for causality
View page
Source of version: 1
(current)
*'''krinu''' indicates causality by reason/justification/explanation. *'''nibli''' indicates causality by logical implication. *'''mukti''' indicates causality by motivation/incentive. *'''rinka''' indicates causality by physical cause. *'''se jalge''' indicates causality of nonspecific type. ** Remember that many translations of the English ((if)) actually correspond to these relationships. ** However, you have to use the causal gismu as the main selbri and not use the tags ''ki'u'', ''mu'i'', etc., since then you would end up claiming one of arguments, when all you want to claim is the causal relationship. *** I think da'i would enable it though. ** If you use these as selbri, you can even use them to express counterfactual causality (as opposed to ((mu'ei)) which indicates correlation).
