Litish 101 is no longer updated, please refer to the High Litish page on the kingdom website!
Litish is a sophisticated language with many different terms, taken from many different languages. Within that, we have 24 'The's, and counting, each one for a different subject. The, in Litish, is generally used the same way as English, except for the fact that it is used elsewhere. If you found that sentence stupid, I don't care it does sound stupid, and I like it like that. I'm pretty sure you can tell that Dylan overtook the narration. Anyways, it is used in front of this and that and these and those, and possessive nouns. (the kingdom of lithium, not lithium's kingdom) That was a bad example. So the that banana, the lithium of Dylan, and the air, the sky, et cetera (this is quite standard in English. As Litish grows, changes may be made, thing added, so future lessons may count more 'The's.
This will be a short but wordy lesson, as the last time it was focused on the Litish Script, but now, we're getting started on vocabulary, so please stick with us. Along the lessons, some grammar tips will be pointed out too. Have fun?

Once again, we've been kind and have prepared tests and revision for you. We have to start converting from Tinycards to Quizlet, as Tinycards will be closing on 1 September 2020, so everyone please get Quizlet accounts and join the Quizlet classroom. Since Quizlet has a built in test-function, we will no longer use Google Forms. Quizlet also has fun and interactive game program. We will continue posting the Google Forms and Tinycards that have already been finished previously, but soon, they will be eradicated completely. Hope you've enjoyed this lesson, both me and Seng Yan's contact details are there, but Seng Yan just did half of the first paragraph, of which he asked me for suggestions, so give me full credit. :)
Have a nice life!
