The refgram tells you that {{Derani| |Luı nuo sá tıqra nîe náokua}} translates to <math>\exists x: \text{tıqra}_\text{w}(x).\ \exists e.\ \text{τ}(e)<\text{t}\land \text{nuo}_\text{w}(x)(e)\land \text{nıe}_\text{w}(e, \text{n}\mathrm{\acute{a}}\text{okua})</math>. The reality is that this isn't "just" logic notation: it's a very specific notation that has been purpose-built for describing natural language semantics, and this article will help you understand the core concepts behind it. | The refgram tells you that {{Derani| |Luı nuo sá tıqra nîe náokua}} translates to <math>\exists x: \text{tıqra}_\text{w}(x).\ \exists e.\ \text{τ}(e)<\text{t}\land \text{nuo}_\text{w}(x)(e)\land \text{nıe}_\text{w}(e, \text{n}\mathrm{\acute{a}}\text{okua})</math>.
