mto -> eng
Source: mto Destination: English ie. We're translating from Mixe into English.
pö’öj
mto) Ambitransitive verb stem pö’öj (p186 of 312)
eng) Transitive verb "plant" or intransitive/transitive verb "germinate"
The verb root is the same. pö’öj "plant" is always transitive, whereas pö’öj can be transitive or intransitive. When intransitive, you have:
- NP PERSON-pö’öj-APL.R-INV-(in)dependent.aspect NP
- The transitive form doesn't have APL.R or INV morphemes, and isn't followed by a noun phrase.
- NP PERSON-pö’öj-(IN)DEPENDENT.ASPECT
If there's a personal pronoun, pö’öj translates to "plant".
- Translates to "plant"<v><tv>
- ꞌëts känäriu mpuꞌup
- PRO1.SG chili_apple 1A.IND=plant-IND.ICPL.TR
- "I'm planting chili apple."
- Translates to "germinate"<v>
- Intransitive
- xi piꞌk känäriu pöꞌöp
- that DIM chili_apple 3S.IND=germinate-IND.ICPL.INTR
- "That little chili apple germinates."
- Transitive <tv>
- vaꞌap mteꞌe pö’öjïxjup, piꞌk känäriu
- ENF=ASRT 2PSR=father 3OP.IND=germinate-APL,R-INV-IND.ICPL.TR
- "Your father germinates the chili apple."
- Intransitive
pö’ö
Should this be handled in morphological disambiguation? Because we have two different tag sets in the source language?
mto) Verb stem pö’ö
eng) Verb "break" and noun "sand"
- Translates to "break"
- Translates to "sand"
- kumöön pöꞌö yäkpätsïmjä
- town sand 3S.DEP=PAS-EDGE-load-APL.R-ICPL.DEP
- "The sand is carried to the municipality."
This one's straightforward. If pö’ö is tagged as a noun, it translates to "sand".
va'an
mto) Verb stem va'an
eng) Verbs "speak" and "say"
- Translates to "speak"
- ꞌùmükeꞌe tùꞌk jë yaaꞌtyëjk vyaꞌany
- then=QUO=FOC one DET man 3A=say-D.ICPL
- "So then a man spoke."
- Translates to "say"
- ꞌax paaꞌtyük tseꞌe jè vintsën vyaajny: "ꞌaj ꞌax veꞌemts nꞌit dü moꞌyumda ꞌapëjkin juuꞌ maas müjit."
- now well=QUO ASRT DET owner 3A=say-D.CPL now yes=ASRT 1E=exist-D.ICPL 3E=give-1PL-PL container which more big-VAR
- “Now the boss said: 'Ah, I'd better given them containers which are bigger.'”
If inflected va'an isn't followed by any other words, it should translate to "speak". Otherwise, it should translate to "says".
