I'm not so sure not fìtxan means exactly.

Is it nìtxan or txan with focusing on "this" - a thing descripting?



What about the "such" here,

    His friends with laugh at him for bonding with such a fool.

is it fìtxan exactly, or with a bit difference and requires a new word? (like "truly" vs. "really")

It is for adjectives (see the Sar, Fìtxan canon example).

Your best bet is probably to use the prenoun fne- "type (of), sort (of)" with .  So, fìfneskxawng "this sort of moron."

Also, we have the adjective nafì'u, or does that not apply here?

I think nafì'u can't be used with persons.

Use 'u for people have a sense of insulting, and I think "such" is not na anything, nor simply "sort of"..
