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

While Yoruba doesn't have a single direct equivalent for 'not' used as a boolean operator, 'máa' (rendered as 'مَا') is often used to express negation or prohibition. This requires native speaker confirmation to ensure it's appropriate in a programming context, hence the 'flag' verdict. It's a better starting point than 'ki'.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy The current translation 'ki' is ambiguous. It can mean 'that' or be part of other grammatical structures. It doesn't clearly convey negation.
