Description:

Verb:

Triju is a semitransitive verb which uses the auxiliary 'nox' and means to see. It's absolutive argument is the seer, and its dative indirect object is the thing seen. The subject's intention to see is irrelevant from the perspective of this verb, whether the subject intended to see or not, they cannot help but see, it is a thing that happens to them. This is in contrast with the verb 'zeul', to look at or examine, which is a transitive verb and is focused on the intention of the agent rather than the result of the action. Triju is focused on the result.

Triju can also be a verb meaning to imagine, envision or dream in the waking sense.To disambiguate this sense, the derived form utríju can be used. Triju's sense as a noxaj verb, following the same pattern as verbs of wanting or feeling, facilitates this sense.

The sense of 'imagine' can also be invoked with the added phrase 'fit na jen', 'inside the head', hence the expression 'noxa triju zra haj fit na jen?' literally 'seen true or in the head', which better translate to 'did you really see it out just imagine it?'

Noun:

Triju can be used as a noun, in which case it means 'sight' or 'vision' in the sense of an instance of seeing, a scene observed, or the general faculty or sense of vision. It can also be used as a word for a waking dream, imagining or vision, and this sense can again be disambiguated with the modifier expression 'fit na jen' if desired.

The general sense of 'imagination' can be evoked with 'utríjusyn'.

The derived form 'etríjusyn' means 'vigilance'. The bare form 'etríju' is less used and has a sense like 'vigil' or 'guard duty'.

The derived form 'ikytríuska' is a moderately impolite but commonly used way to say blind person. The very polite way is to say 'ikytíjus atuin'.

Modifier:

The modifier form 'trijus' means 'visible'. The form 'utríjus', on the other hand, means 'imaginary'. The derived form 'etríjus' means 'vigilant'.

The modifier form 'ikytíjus' is the polite way to say 'blind'.
