John and I go quickly to the old house

Postby Levike » 2014-10-22, 12:49

Ditronian:

Janurg jar ime bemvomut vogoms ima ustró sfinks.

John and I go quickly in house old.

Janurg - John ( -urg is the masculine noun ending )
Jar - and
Ime - I ( in nominative )
Bemvomut - go ( -omut is first person plural conjugation )
Vogoms - quickly ( - oms is the first person adverb declination )
Ima - in/into
Ustró - house ( o is the neutre noun ending )
Sfinks - old ( s is the adjective ending )

Translate the same sentence, colour it and also please do explain the grammar used.
The etymology of your words is also welcomed.

An i Dyon vrođ ota to šuiyoka ešti.
1.SG and "john" old-ATT house to quick-ADV go.PRS

vro = old (takes +đ when placed before the noun)
šuiyo = fast/quick (takes +ka to become an adverb).

There are no other inflections, Nithalos doesn't inflect a lot ;) The sentence uses SOV word order.

Jon wa me sokdu it a puran dom.

John and I quick go to old house.

The sentence uses SVO word order. Ardlang has almost no inflection, so sokdu can mean both "quick" and "quickly".

Etymology
wa: Mixed, from Arabic و (wa), Korean 와 (wa) and Vietnamese .
me: From PIE *(e)me-, ultimately from Nostratic mi.
sokdu: From Korean 속도 (sokdo), ultimately from Chinese 速度 (sùdù)
it: From PIE h₁ey-.
a: From Latin ad.
puran: From Sanskrit पुराण (purāṇá).
dom: From PIE *dṓm.

Dormouse, there's one little problem: I have no idea what those abbreviations mean.

Could you please detail it a bit. :wink:

It's very standard Leipzig Glossing Rules. The only abbreviation not listed on that page is DSJ, which I use for "disjunctive". hashi used Leipzig as well, if you were wondering.

I would add every one of them in the same way. For example, "big old red messy house" would be "morsheunezahazrachal". It's not compulsory, you can also write the adjectives separately. When you have to decline the noun, however, you can do it so you don't have to decline the adjectives too.

Laefêvëši:

The two of us with John go to* the old house.

Alternatively, with the pronoun expressed:
Ó li Ǯôn ánne hĕisaj háirríkky.
1SG and John go-2DU.PRS quickly old=house-TERM
I and John go to* the old house.

*The case used is terminative, meaning they reach the house but do not enter it.

Some updates.

Janur meg íme bemvomút vogoms ustró tes gizós.

John and I go quickly house to old.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Itrout:

Why is the word for "fast" so long, what endings did you add to it?

Did you get inspiration from real languages? Like how did you come up with "gaut".

And why did you write "old" and "house" together?

How many conlangs do you have? What happened to Dialecto?

@levike:

Fast is only rapitach, but when your using it as an adverb, you have to add ent to it. I actually messed up and shouldn't of added ert, because that is the comparative positive.. Oops :oops: So it should only be rapitachent
Did you get inspiration from real languages? Like how did you come up with "gaut".
Not really. Some basic demonstrative pronouns are inspired by Germanic languages, but I mostly just did what you did with Ditronó and made the words from stuff that it reminded me of.
And why did you write "old" and "house" together?
Adjectives can either be added onto the noun or left between the article and the noun. It all depends on whether the speaker and the audience can understand it.

Spitind:
Iou y1 Jonas movit rapided2 itic ancent3 cata.
John and I go quickly to the old house.

1: used instead of "i" before words that start with "i" or "j".
2: desinence -ed for adverbs.
3: adjectives always before nouns.

My conlang (as a Romance Language) takes its main words from Latin and all Neo-Latin languages:
Iou = Io (Italian) / yo (Spanish) / eu (Romanian)
y/i = y (Spanish) / și (Romanian)
movit = muovere (Italian) / mover (Spanish) / [move (English)]
rapid = rapido (Italian) / rápido (Spanish)
ancent = antico (Italian) / antiguo (Spanish) / [ancient (English)]
cata = casa (Italian/Spanish) / casă (Romanian)

"ic" and "it": I can't remember where they come from.
