Things I've said at work today (to myself):

Raga naga idi codo
Yaga codo
Na idi codo
Naga smi, gwumpy

As a bonus, I will add $1 to my donation to dialecticdreamer for each guess I get as to the meaning of the sentences, up to $3 per person. Yes, dialecticdreamer, you can guess too! For each sentence guessed correctly, I will add an additional $1, with all 4 guessed correctly yielding $5.

Guess away friends!

My initial donation will be around $20, and I will wait for guesses until about noon Staurday, Eastern Standard Time.

Best guesses.

Assuming all of them are declarative sentences.... Let me if any of them are even close?

Raga naga idi codo - Really not that cold.

Yaga codo - It got cold (maybe?)

Na idi codo - not that cold

Naga smi, gwumpy - Not now, I'm not in the mood for that. (I know, that's a lot for one word, but that's what it looks like to me.)

They are all declarative sentences. Just curious, did you read my earlier most with the vocab list? If not that is very impressive because you are pretty close. Though there was a new word here, because I didn't have it before. I especially like your last translation. It's not the literally meaning, and not what I was aiming for, but it was pretty close to how I was feeling at the time. I might use that in the future.

I can PM you the answers, if you like, otherwise, they will be posted on Saturday :)

I did indeed read the earlier post. Languages, in all their slipperiness and imprecision and both verbal and non-verbal aspects, fascinate me.

Please PM answers - I don't want to wait until Saturday! (Patience? What's that?)

Gentle feathery hugs, if desired.

I find languages fascinating too, though I wish I had more time to study them. My fascination tends to be with languages other than English though.

Hugs are always welcome :) *Gives gentle fuzzy hug back*

The PM will be on its way shortly. I totally understand not wanting to wait; I have very little patience myself.
