Discord.(yeah, i know, i'm just defending myself in the future so no one yells at me) about isipin, using other words like "sona" don't work because sona means you know it as a fact, and you aren't unsure about it. "pilin" cannot work either because pilin is used for emotional situations, and not philosophical actions, such as imagining, remembering. "sona lili" translates to understanding a little bit and i think it doesn't show any skepticality as isipin does.
