Asking the Meaning of a Word
When asking what a word means in different languages, there are various ways to phrase the question. In English, it is straightforward with 'What does X mean?' However, other languages like Chinese use phrases such as 'X yoshima yis' or 'X's meaning.' Interestingly, Spanish has 'que ré de ciure X' or 'what does X want to say.' These idiomatic ways of asking for word meanings offer opportunities for language creators to explore more creative and metaphorical expressions in their constructed languages.
