I mean, I don’t know for sure that it was supposed to be Latin, but those are Latin words. They’re words that exist in Latin, but together they’re… I don’t know. They just don’t really mean anything?

The best guess I can give at the moment is that it means, or is supposed to mean, “something different” or “something unlike”, although she may have said quidam or quia–

Hod op. I did some further research. Quiam appears to be a contraction of qui (”wherefore”) and iam (”now”) and means “wherefore” or “because”. Non is a negative. Quale is the neuter singular of qualis, which is an adjective (usually interrogative) meaning “what (kind)”, although here it’s used substantively (note: it may also be related to the philosophical kind of quale/ia.

I have no idea what it was supposed to mean but that’s what each of those words mean. Maybe it was supposed to mean “because, not why”?

It’s hard to explain, but when I read it, it feels like it makes sense (it’s got a phonaesthetic quality to it), and I can kind of feel what it’s supposed to mean, but when I analyze it and pick it apart and stuff, the translation goes kablooie. It “feels” like it’s supposed to be something more like “because the quality* of life we have now is not awesome”?

Maybe someone else is more familiar with Latin and can figure this one out? Maybe it’s some weird old Latin figure of speech?
