So so far: mwa: lil dude ngu: close wa: far bodo: big (or maybe just not especially short or tall) tonel (?): short kawa: tall giwe: where ngutingu: very close (perhaps a compound of ngu + -tingu, where -tingu is a suffix meaning "very") gugu: (not a clue) we: (also not a clue) The language appears to be head-initial, and interrogatives come at the beginning of questions. That said, the one video that throws a wrench into things is "mwa we ngu." The cursor movements imply that "we" means ground and that "ngu" is represented by the lines around mwa. But with my understanding of the language at this moment I'm not sure of the meaning of that sentence or its construction. Or maybe I'm just immensely overthinking this whole series of shitposts. I dunno.
ngutingu might also be ngu+ti+ngu. Potentially adjective+ti+adjective strengthens it or ti means something like relative or a possessive. So "close relative to close", "close's close"
i think 'we' might be earth or ground, because in earlier parts he says 'we' both as he draws a little hill under the mwa and as he draws a sort of horizon
mwa bodo = O mwa tune(l) = _ mwa gawa = | {linguist's note: head-initial is strongly suspected} giwe m(w)a gawa? m(w)a gawa we! {linguist's note: behind the tree. the /w/ in /mwa/ seems weakened or even dropped?} giwe mwa tune(l)? mwa tune(l) ngu! {linguist's note: under the rock} giwe mwa bobo? mwa bobo ngu timu {linguist's note: /timu/ may be an augmentative}
Oooh more comprehensible input
Is it comprehensible?

i think we is a locational preposition
I guess I *am* pretty tall IRL...

I don’t know what any of this is and I’m scared. Also liked and favourited.
I think given this channel’s history, we’re being taught a constructed language from the ground up.
a language in which silly voice is mandatory :D
I hope to see what happens when the language is more developed. Keep it up!
