Today's is a simple word:
tavëlár /taˈβə.laːɾ/ slang < tavo run + lár speech, utterance, word
The verb tavo run is used in various derivations to mean "fast, quick." Here I'm not referring to speed of enunciation, but lifetime. The -ë- ligature is normal for verb-initial compounds.
Kattëkës kë mítarpe, tavëlár si míti hómë re.
boss DAT speak.COND.CVB.IPFV, slang ACC speak.IMP PROH PTCL
If you're talking to the boss, don't use slang.
Note that Kílta prefers the verb míto speak to anything meaning "use" here, even if that means the verb is repeated. The particle re is here to soften the imperative a bit.
