''lu'o so'i djacu'' or ''piso'i loi djacu'', they both have the same sense. --[[User:xorxes|xorxes]]
{BOX}
I may be missing something here, but neither of these seem right. If each amount of water is small then ''lu'o so'i djacu'' does not necessarily give you a lot of water: many waters do not necessarily amount to much water. And to me, ''pi so'i loi djacu'' implies a large proportion of the mass of all water, whereas "much water" means "a quantity that is large relative to the quantity that is normal". --[[User:And Rosta|And Rosta]]
 
I think they both mean "many amounts together". I don't think ''piso'i loi djacu'' is necessarily a large proportion of the mass of all water, because unlike ''so'a'' and ''so'e'', ''so'i'' doesn't refer to the total. Do many people make a lot of people? Only in that sense can we say that many waters make a lot of water. In any case it is subjective. Too much water would be ''pidu'e loi djacu'' or ''lu'o du'e djacu'', too many quantities of water together. All that ''djacu'' talks about is quantities of water, there is no way to describe those quantities with quantifiers, the only way of describing them is by modifying ''djacu'' with other brivla, as in ''lo djacu poi barda''. --[[User:xorxes|xorxes]]
 
#I agree that ''lu'o so'i'' means "many amounts together".
===  Proposed Definition of ''si'u'' ===
#''so'e'' doesn't mean "a large proportion of"; it means "most", which, to oversimplify, means "more than half of". At any rate, we do want to distinguish between "a large amount of" and "a large proportion of", and I still feel that ''pi so'i'' is a better candidate for the latter.
 
**I guess it makes sense to separate the two meanings.
;'''si'u''' (BAI):  Aided by.  Tags a sumti as fitting the 1st place of sidju. Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra, un-numbered place with the meaning of the 1st place of sidju and then fills it with the tagged sumti.  In other words, the event described by the bridi is aided or assisted in some way by the referent of the tagged sumti.  See also: se si'u, te si'u, sidju
#Many people do make a lot of people, because the unit for measuring quantity of people is the single person. But since the quantity that constitutes pa djacu is undefined, the single amount of water cannot be the unit for measuring quantity of water, so many amounts of water do not necessarily make a lot of water.
 
**Not in an absolute sense, but in the context of those quantities, I think they do.
** Keywords: aided by, assisted by.
**Okay, yes. In a context when we are measuring quantity be amounts of water, then yes, many amounts do equal much water. But basically I stand by what I said before.
 
#I think ''pidu'e loi djacu'' means "too large a proportion of". I agree about the meaning of ''lu'o du'e djacu''.
===  Examples of ''si'u'' Usage ===
**Ok.
 
#You may be right that "a lot of water, much water" cannot adequately be rendered using quantifiers, but if this is the case it is important to know, because it is being suggested that ''PA [[jbocre: va'e|va'e]]'' and ''JAhA xi PA'' could be used to render "very" (etc. -- see [[jbocre: JAhA + CAI|JAhA + CAI]]), in which case the PA should be a word meaning "much". If there is no quantifier meaning "much", then none of those solutions are going to work.

**If ''pirova'e'' means "totally", why can't the other fractions mean "very much", "a little", etc? --[[User:xorxes|xorxes]]
 
**Because: (i) "totally" '''is''' a proportion: ''pi ro'' = "the whole of", ''pi so'i'' = "a large proportion of". (ii) Applied to the scale of truth, I'd see ''pi PA'' as expressing points on the doubly-bounded scale of Sort-of between True and False. So ''pi so'i va'e'' would mean something like "pretty truish, sort-of but close to being outright true".
