When language fails

At times I want to express an idea quickly - articulating it in the mind is usually possible, but lengthy

I have thought in the past “I wish there were a word in the english language that reconciled the concepts of if and until”. There’s shame in a word choice here

My next thought is - well, maybe another language has tackled this problem. Which language?

Here’s the moneymaker

Can a search engine be created for this? Does it exist already? I would like to know the answer to this question

This approach would hopefully allow me to have an answer before I look like an idiot when inventing a new word. Although, inventing the new word might be the faster path

Supposing fits.

You can run it through Wiktionary.com as well., does the multi language aspect for each synonym once you pick one.

I want a $25 Amazon gift card for this effort.

Suppose (if+when) had I not done this, where would you be?

I’m tense

Drink some tea then.

You still owe me a gift card.

Past, present or future?

Can one be considered as “incorrect” before one’s time has come?

I don’t think that he’s thinking in terms of synonyms or antonyms etc.
I may be wrong but if he’s looking to reconcile the concepts of IF and UNTIL, he may be looking for “synergy” in terms of those two words - not necessarily definitions.

What word{s] synergize[s] those two words?
That’s my brain teaser for the day.
Isn’t it remarkable the simple things which can whet one’s appetite for life?

Words, words words
like stunning beacons causing flow.
The world is all aglow

Nature highlights minds
extends itself and binds
the Speaker to the Signs.

:laughing: I just made that up. God how i love words.

God doesn’t love you.

Considering that I am agnostic, what can I say to that, Steve?
At times I feel that I am loved, just being in nature, I feel loved.
You love me, don’t you? :wink:
