A word a day week

domi

DO-mi · two spoken or sung notes · 1–3

  • you
  • yourself

Domi addresses you without forcing Solresol to ask whether that means one listener or a roomful.

Seven-note spelling

Say it, play it, flash it

  1. do1 · red
  2. mi3 · yellow
Treble-clef notation for do · mi domi
On a modern treble clef, using C4 through B4.

The binary sequence do–mi is the second-person pronoun, usable for singular or plural you and in reflexive constructions.

Gajewski’s grammar also shows a three-line staff and a special shorthand. Here, the notes appear on a modern treble clef. The C-major pitches are a playback choice; Solresol does not require absolute pitch.

Tiny sentence

Domi lasire domi.

you amuse you

“You amuse yourself.”

Adapted only by expanding the note names from Gajewski's reflexive-verb example; the repeated pronoun supplies the reflexive object.

Treble-clef notation for do · mi · la · si · re · do · mi domilasiredomi
