Modal Verbs Are Not Generally Allowed Inside Si-Verbs
Posted by taxtalis on 3/12/2026
upon discovering my use of said construct based on the shown example taken from https://naviteri.org/2014/11/twenty-before-the-holidays/
tsyili took the liberty to simply ask Pawl about it and while we haven't gotten much data on this yet, tsyili states Pawl confirmed that
the placement of modals inside si-verbs is not generally applicable, like I had hoped.
As I have been spreading my fondness of this construct
and I know multiple people that have heard me and possibly seen my new-formed habit to place modals inside si-verbs,
I felt compelled to post this here to rectify this now falsified information.
