Lithiumians are lazy, yes, but it's not only laziness that spurs abbreviations and acronyms, but also naming. Of course, laziness is primary.

In this lesson, we'll give you a few common abbreviations and acronyms in Litish, and then the Quizlet.

Organisations and Acronyms

These are mainly English-derived, as majority of the Lithiumians coming from Earth spoke English.

KLAGM/ Kingdom Lithium Annual General Meeting

Klagm (now a word)/ "/ Kleh-guhm

Do Klagm/ to hold/ attend a KLAGM/ kleh-guhm

Keelifi-tuas do klagm?/ Can you attend a KLAGM?

FFFF/ The Feeble Four and the Fat Fifth (ruling party of Lithium)

KLDC/ Kingdom Lithium's Decisive Committee (the ruling party of Lithium inclusive of those neither feeble nor fat)

S.P.I.C.E./ Secret & Private Investigation of Crime & Espionage (this acronym ALWAYS has the dividing dots)

LAG/ Lithium Acapella Group

SPIES/ Secret Party Inclusive of Enigmatic Students

KELP/ Kingdomwide Evil Laugh Person (a weird competition)

abbrv.

Here, we have words equivalent to the English I'm, you're, he's, et cetera, et cetera.

I'm/ Ego'st (Ego vest), J'et (Je vest), J'est (Je vest), L'est (Lënnen vest)/ Ee-gawhst, zheht, zhehst, lehst (Je vest is more informal, Ego vest in the middle)

You're/ Tu'st, T'est/ tuhst, tehst (Tu'st is more informal)

It's/ Ital'est, It'et, It'est, I'est, Ital'et (Italy vest)/ Iht-ahl'ehst, it'eht (It'est, I'est more formal)

We're/ Oos't (Oosab erst)/ oohst

Bye/ Avt. (Avvedarkt) (texting)/ ahvt

*Please note that in general once you shorten something to an abbreviation in Litish it becomes informal even if it's an abbreviation of a formal term.

Hormingoomi/ Hmm. (an interjection used when in a state of confuddlement or confusion or when in deep thought; thinking)

Seriously?/ Stm?, strm?, strmt? (Strictement?)/ Stuhm, struhmt

... (ellipsis)/ Dtds. (dotteds)/ duhtuhds

Really?/ Jtr? or Jtrns? (Jetterons)/ zhuh-tuhr, zhuh-tuhrns

Mr, Ms, Mr, Mrs, Mr, Mdm, Mr, Miss/ Mr, Ms, Mr, Mss, Dm, Dm, Mf, Mf (Misteir, Meis, Mistoir, Misus, Domet, Damet, Morf, Meef)/ same pronunciation.

Darling/ Hw. (Haeaw)/ whw

We may or may not have a follow up lesson to this, but the ones here are official. You can always make up your own unofficial abbreviations, not universally understood, but for your self-notes or whatever, and that works too. However, here we teach just the official Litish, and if something's unofficial but universally understood, it's generally added too. Here's the Quizlet.

We hope you've had a great time with us the past twelve lessons, and we hope you'll join us again soon @Lessons 13-24. Exciting new teaser: we might additionally add Kahoot soon too, so watch out for it. Adieute, et bovio!
