The accusative could be -am. Which is taken from Latin's second declension in the singular accusative. Or if this doesn't work you could use -es(from the 5th dec.). The latter could also be the same for the adjective. ex. (arbitrary examples) piedes cones.- spicy green pepper (cones= spicy). This form fits the plural as well :) -esk


Is there a reason you chose ǐ/ǔ for the semi-vowels? I know that some of the influence on your conlang is from Esperanto, but this kind of use of diacritics is just atrocious(IMO) when between vowels and even initially. Do y and w not make suitable companions? (this is just one of the many things I absolutely hate about eo- unnecessary use of diacritics) Sure it's not my conlang, but I needed to ask.

-am is the first declension in the singular accusative. Yes, I like it.
I prefer to put the plural suffix before the accusative suffix ;) Also the adjective that refers to the noun in accusative takes the accusative form.

I used it to maintain a regular (ĭ and ŭ seem to š or ž as diacritics) and more simple reading: dŭapa or dwapa?

Some proverbs:
Maždolhambak rijon - Waterfalls are raining, it rains hard and long.
Ogsŭ hondak algunbeli pisikverson - Even dogs sometimes mewl, everobody makes mistakes.

I see, that makes sense. I must admit that dǔapa looks better than dwapa.

I've seen that also -am couldn't be a good way to resolve the accusative problem (avana → avanaam) If do I put um?

Why would it be a problem?

You could shorten aa to a to become avanam.

With the phonology of Eo, it is definitely possible to write it using no diacritic marks or added letters, just with the normal Roman alphabet (for example - c > ts; ĉ > tc; ĝ > dj; ĥ > x; j > y; ĵ > j; ŝ > c, ŭ > w). With jakip's phonology, you could easily do something similar (but if you like ŭ and ĭ so much, go ahead and keep them; they do make alright sense).

In regard to the accusative problem, why not make it just -m, with the accusative plural -kam or something? That would make it a bit more convenient.

By -am, I meant that this is the ending as a whole :wink:

So the word avana in the accusative becomes avanam. Essentially it is exactly what Kshaard suggests.

And in regards to eo's diacritics, Kshaard sums it up(my variants differ from those stated, but…)

Yes, I see. Then, -am.
-m → noun and adjective
-am → plural

How can I make the passive form?

I mean: do I use an unique suffixe or do I use a compose verb? What could it be the easiest way?

You can easily manage without a passive.

You could use 'something' or a dummy subject, so for "The light was turned on", you could have
"Someone/something turned on the light."
Or, you could just miss off the subject entirely:
"Turned on the light."

If you have a way of deriving adjectives from verbs, that's the easiest way - use adjectives. Like in English, past participles can be used as adjectives sometimes (the flower was watered > the watered flower) but you can use it the other way around and use adjectives instead of past participles. It's what I usually do, use the same forms for both adjectives and when forming passives.

That's the way I've searched until now :waytogo: Resolved passive problem.

Hey there! I'm back again :lol: I've just thought that it was the time to restore my old auxiliary language Kĭelvarta. I'll need your help as always.

I mean, if there are suffixes/prefixes I can add, please tell me.

My aim is to make up a language almost completely with suffixes and prefixes. For instance: maždol-hamb-a-k (lit.: waters that fall - waterfalls), co-muliged-ašv-antl-a (lit.: no opportunities of climbing a tree).
