Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

'Tiko' means 'to be' or 'to exist'. In the context of 'let x = y', it can be interpreted as 'x is y' or 'x becomes y'. This is a more direct and common way to express assignment in Fijian, and aligns better with the imperative nature of 'let'. It's also a single syllable, making it concise.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy While 'volia' (take/allow/bind) isn't *incorrect*, it feels a bit weak for the imperative 'let' in programming. It doesn't strongly convey assignment.
