Problem Ideas (for me)

[Francisc Czobor]

But the last two expression proposed by you are actually used in Chinook Wawa!
  "mamook nanitsh" = "to show" appears in Gibbs' and Shaw's and other dictionaries;
  "tiki wawa" was used for "it means" on this list, for instance by Dave Robertson.
  But I didn't see the expression "nanitch-spose" for "to try" yet.

  I'm probably a bit slower than most but I've been grappling with how to 
express a couple of ideas. Recently learning the ingenious use of Kakupus 
has inspired me to put them to the list. Maybe some people have solutions 
none of these feel quite right to me:

Test / Try / Prove : I've tried "nanitch-spose" (see if)
Show : I've tried "mumook-nanitch" (make see)
Mean as is Ca veux dire : I've tried "tiki-wawa" (want to say)

I've never found support for any of my attempts in dictionaries or texts. 
I'm sure there must be some great ways of saying these things.
