I have a question about writing in journals.
I would like to learn more Spanish words. Rojo means red.
Should there be something before the meaning of rojo is given? I've thought of using e.g., but it seem as though that would be better used in a situation like this:
I would like to learn more Spanish words, e.g., rojo, azul, negro.
After thinking it over, I now feel that viz. would be the best fit, but I'm still unsure.
This is a statement of my desire to learn x. This sentence is the record of my learning of a component of x.
What can I write before the second sentence to make it clear what is happening there? Would a colon here undesirably conflate the idea of an incomplete record with the idea a complete one?
