    • nāmakaṇḍa
      • intro #edited
        • prefixes and particles are included in this chapter
        • shows how nouns are formed by combining noun stems with case suffixes e.g.: purisa (liṅga [noun stem]) + paṭhamā vibhatti ⇒ puriso
        • liṅga / nāma / pakati rūpa / pāṭipadika↔noun stem: basic form of a noun before case suffixes are added
          • the noun stem is called pāṭipadika because→it is visible in every form of the word
          • why are they called nāma?
            • because they bend toward a meaning or bend (bring) meaning to itself
              • atthābhimukhaṁ namanato: the noun inclines towards the meaning; by hearing the word spoken, citta inclines towards the meaning of that word (about the listener)
              • attani catthassa nāmanato nāmaṁ: they cause the meaning to incline towards itself (about the speaker) intending to convey a certain meaning, one inclines to its word
          • √nam→to bend

        • vibhatti
          • what are vibhatti?→the 14 suffixes (si, yo, aṁ, yo...) added to pakatirūpas to form words
          • why are they called vibhatti?→vibhajantīti vibhattiyo ‒ because they divide or distinguish the noun stems
            • how do they divide / distinguish?
              • case: multiple forms are created out of the noun stem (puriso, purisā...)
              • numbers: convey singular or plural meanings
              • meaning: enable the noun to function in various syntactic roles, like subject (kattu), object (kamma), etc
              • (don't they also convey gender?) #q🙋🏼‍♂

  • regarding translation:
    • 1. Word-by-Word Translation:
      • I include a word-by-word translation in my notes to make everything clear for you, but I do not expect you to follow this format in your own work.
    • 2. Your Translations vs. My Notes:
      • I am happy with the way you are translating now. Differences between your translations and my notes do not mean your work is wrong or weak. My notes are based on years of practice with Pali texts, so use them as a guide to improve your understanding and skills.
    • 3. Approach to Translation:
      • In response to Venerable Ariyañāṇa's question today: Last year, I asked you to translate freely to help you gradually familiarize yourself with the language. Free translation works for stories, but it does not always work well for the deeper explanations of the Buddha's words found in the commentaries.
      • Now, we should aim for literal translation as much as possible. Since Pali and English are very different languages, literal translation may not always be possible. In such cases:
      • Use alternative expressions in English without distorting the meaning.
      • If the literal translation seems awkward in English, provide a free translation in brackets for clarity.
      • The goal is to make the translation as literal as possible while ensuring it remains meaningful.
      • As you continue to learn grammar and gain familiarity with Pāl̥i, you will discover more ways to translate freely without distorting the intended meaning.
