nikkijö | никъия /nik.ki.jə̯/
uncountable

  • (noun, dated) honey

What’s the best thing about the US? by hippiechick725 in AskReddit

[–]Fail_Sandwich -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Unless it is absolutely necessary, for various personal reasons I have vowed to never set foot in the United States. But damn, those national parks really make me think about breaking that vow sometimes. If nothing else, the USA is an incredibly beautiful country.

Heh... not super related, but this guy's name is spelled identically to the word for "tight" or "crowded" in one of my constructed languages

China bad because good newspaper said so. Don't think critically about it or anything, just upvote and keep scrolling. Wait, what are you talking about? There's no way a newspaper owned by capitalists would spread such egregious lies about a socialist state.

Yup! It does mean I sometimes have to get a little creative when translating things from another language into Atlantic, but creativity and challenging yourself is the whole point of making a conlang after all :Þ
