Hey! First of all thank you for your replies! [:D] So...in answer to Micamo's questions: - I think that the one you call "verb incorporation" (the "be.red-flower" part, right?) I treat as a relative construction. Noun incorporation involves consonant metathesis in the noun root s...

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I first thought I would like to start a new conlang beside Lözusöteli. Now the time has come and I would like to share these first ideas about this language whose name I haven't decided yet... Phonological inventory: vowels: i = , ä = [ɛ], e = [e], a = [a], u ...

Lözusöteli

Zariśa
zar-i-śa
[see.pres.-1sg.pres.-you.ACC]

or

Zari śad (same meaning but with the non-enclitic pronoun with a contrastive nuance "I see you, not someone else")

Ainu

Enukar
e-nukar
[1sg.subj.2sg.obj.-see]

In China, pork is preferred over beef for economic and aesthetic reasons; the pig is easy to feed and is not used for labour. The colours of the meat and the fat of pork are regarded as more appetizing, while the taste and smell are described as sweeter and cleaner. It is also considered easier to d...

(I'll be using Lözusötelian names instead of the English ones: Þadeli and Rän - masculine names and Gilde and Enæbe - feminine nemes). In the case of proper names the distinction in just in the tone of the utterance: contrastive accent falls on the word put into focus but no syntactic or morphologic...

I was impressed too! You can speak your language very fast!

In my conlang Lözusöteli the names of the countries are derived directly from the actual name of the country in the language spoken in it. This is then modified to meet the phonetic rules of Lözusöteli and properly given an ending to be declined as a regular Lözusötelian noun. If the name of the cou...

I'm so sorry for not being sufficiently clear. It's some kind of sentimental connection that needs not to have anything to do with sharing a real relationship. Sometimes it is a feeling that overcomes also our likings, for instance I can have this connection also with a person that I can't stand. Fo...

I don't know if this topic has been already proposed, but I was wondering if there are words in your conlang(s) that you wouldn't know how to translate with a single word in English or in your mother language. One example from Lözusöteli is the word "ræb" ['raif] (from the same stem, the v...

I have finally systematize the prefixes that express evidentiality on verbs of my conlang Lözusöteli: bak - : witnessed tap - : sensory (visual) gut - : sensory (sound, taste, smell, touch) tal - : hearsay (reliable source) hak - : hearsay (non-reliable source) rom - : inferential (general knowledge...

Just wait until tomorrow.....

I decided to upload a short story I have translated into Ainu some time ago... I hope this will raise someone's interest, I'm always happy to receive feedbacks! I know you're probably not interested in the language but feel free to ask me about your random curiosities, I'll be glad to answer you! [:...
