That's not what was meant.

Quiet, again.

Thanks, Fris. This helps me a lot. I appreciate it.

Right now I really hate life.

I'd like to discuss evidentiality and its different forms. Kala's system seems misaligned and bulky.

I've looked at various natlangs for inspiration, but I tend to get lost in the minutiae. How does your conlang handle evidentiality (if it does at all)?

In that case we will simply eat a schnitzel and stroll through the city.

Certainly.

And then we would go for some fish and chips with a nice beer.
