Kawaiso^ ni = pitifully, shamefully.
Shiawase so^ na = happily, seemingly happy
Seems to have this form adjective + So^ na
Isogashiiso^ na furi o shite
忙しいそうな振りをして...– faking like he is busy
Kawai可愛いis the d.n. for cute. Intesified with the so marker and it becomes a different word.

A different kind of question mark, TO^ in Hakataben
The following pertains to the Japanese as spoken in the Hakata dialect of Fukuoka, Japan.
TO^ or tou is used as the ? or question mark sometimes in Japanese. Observe the way TO^ is used in the following sentences,
"DOKO NI IKIYORU TO^?" どこに往きよるとう - "Where are you going?(Where do you think you're going?)
also heard "DOKO NI IKIYO^ TO^" どこに往きようとう - same meaning, but in this example the verb iku is in Base II then adds + yoru to^
Doko kara kiyo^ to^?
どこから来ようとう - "Where does he come from?" or "Where do you come from?".
another variety of this construction that will mask the true traditional Japanese language, but there is a way to make these type of constructions polite. I've heard it covered up this way -
DOKO KARA KIYO^ TO^ DESU KA?
どこから来ようとうですか? - Where do you come from.
This way of phrasing the question, " Where do you come from?", appears and sounds polite so that it passes for polite Japanese. This is definitely not a good way to speak polite Japanese. The best way to speak it politely is to use honorific forms of the verb. Yes I know it is cumbersome to not only remember the rules for honorific verb forms but it is quite something also to pronounce them well. Especially for verbs with au ending such as arawareru. That there will be a tongue tie if ever there was one, for a gaijin that is.
Conclusion: Add DESU KA to anything makes to make your Japanese language more polite. Or at least it will sound that way.
This is not a short "TO". This is a TO with a "^" attached so it is long "o". Granted this is probably not at all a polite way to speak in Japanese, but is very congenial speech.

To pretend to verb in Japanese
Verb (p.f.) + to shimasho^ - to feign as if you would
Meaning –

VerbTE + Mo is discussed in another lesson and it constructs, - Even though I verb - (TE)て”, in this example the verb is suru in base TE (て)or shite (して) and then the mo (も) particle is added meaning although, or even though.
3. Mizu ga chikyu^ kara nakunatta to shimasho^ -
水が地球から亡くなったとしましょう

At the end of the construction, we have to shimasho^ (としましょう) - which implies that we will be doing this together, “Shall we do this thing of pretending together? Where do this thing is any verb in base TE It could mean something like, “Let’s just say we did, since did is the past tense of the verb to do.” etc.
Anata dake shika chikyu^ ni inakatta to shimasho^ -
貴方だけしか 地球に いなかったとしましょう
Let’s say you were the last person on earth or
Let’s just say you were the only person on the face of the Earth… etc.

hodgepodge Japanese
Japanese Plug and Play Ghetto Grammar (JPPGG)
PLAIN FORM + KAMOSHIRENAI - to probably verb
In Japanese, to say that something will most likely happen in the future or to say that something has probably already occurred, we use the word ~kamoshirenai. Both Japanese nouns and Japanese verbs in plain form (i.e. Base III) can be used to which we can attach one of three variable endings which vary in politeness.
When used after nouns, or verbs in plain form, KAMOSHIREMASEN means: maybe noun, maybe verb, might have been noun, might have verb'ed, or probably noun, or probably verb etc. Although by definition, KAMO, by itself, is the word for duck, the origin or roots of the word KAMOSHIREMASEN come mainly from the verb to know, or, SHIRU. In this case, SHIRENAI means unable to know. The KA and the MO pose even more uncertainty when put together because KA is the question mark (?) particle, and MO is the also particle.
KAMO without SHIRENAI or SHIREMASEN is less polite but still understood. To use KAMO by itself is permissible when speaking with close friends or acquaintances. However, since saying just KAMO is less polite, beginners should avoid saying it. Its best to always use the most polite form KAMOSHIREMASEN, but it's ok to say KAMOSHIRENAI when you are in company of close friends etc.
If you were to listen to 10 minutes of any random Japanese conversation, you would most likely or probably (pun intended) hear the word KAMOSHIRENAI within that time. KAMOSHIRENAI is always used in Japanese conversation. Verbs in base III are equivalent to what is known as plain form, of the verb, sometimes designated in JPPGG© Ghetto Grammar as P.F.
P.F. Verb+ KAMOSHIRENAI - most common, but less polite
P.F. Verb+ KAMOSHIREMASEN - more polite
P.F. Verb+ KAMO - least polite and funny to the ear
1. TORARETA KAMOSHIREMASEN
It might have been stolen
2. SOTSUGYO SHISO?
SURU KAMOSHIRENAI
Are you going to graduate?
It's possible! (Maybe!)
3. ARE WA KAMO KAMO
It's a duck, probably.-or-
It's most likely a duck.-or-
It's probably a duck.-etc.
4. OISHII KAMO NE!
Its probably tastes pretty good! (Doesn't it?)
(Tasty duck hunh)
As always, Ganbatte Ne!
Do your Best!
Makurasuki Sensei.
