Paiwan Every Day 52: supil // masupil

This is why I like language class: I get to read authors expressing views in their own languages.

Today we read a sociologist 清水幾太郎 (しみず いくたろう , 1907-1988) talking about "boredom". He said often people who get bored are considered inferior (かとう下等 ), and people who persevere are considered superior (じょうとう上等).  Nevertheless, he thinks feeling fed up is actually the sign of spiritual growth rather than acting childish. 面白いじゃない。

masupil aken a singlit tjanusun. 

In English: 
I am tired of missing you.

Glossary:

1. ma-supil: to be tired of doing. The root is supil 'bored, not pretty, looking old'. 
2. aken: I, 1st person singular nominative (NOM)
3. a: ligature (LIG)
4. singlit: to miss
5. tjanusun: to or towards you, oblique (OBL) case. The root is sun 'you'.
