Limited vocab
1 min read · 108 words
Due to Chloquiana's goal of simplicity, many words that exist in English simply do not exist in Chloquiana, or are simplified.
For example, in English you can say "I am hungry" "I'm hungry" "I'm starving" "I want food." You'd have to learn multiple different words: Food, starving, hungry...
Wouldn't it be easier to just express all of those with the same three or four words?
In Chloquiana, if you want to say you're hungry, you can say "Ai nabgo" "Ai go nab" "Ai nabago" "Ai go naba" "Ai ba nab" "Ai nabba" etc etc. Same sort of words, different order. This prevents having too much vocabulary to memorize.
