Since there may be people less imaginative than I, or there may be times when people's imagination fails, I have put together a list of the translations of English words not listed in the vocabulary in addition to those that are. This list is not meant to be a sole guide to Ta Ti vocabulary; once you find the words you need here, look them up in the official vocabulary list. You may wish to check the grammar summary as well to ensure proper speech. Especially note that a final "ha" is usually omitted.
