Nice to see you here, Itlani Jim! You don't look like this Jim by any chance:

do you?

I've always loved the way you could say anything you wanted to in Itlani. Clearly translating all your posts has given you a lot of practice.

Also, you seem to already have an account here with this name:

:ita: Emilian - Dialàt Vgnulěṡ (specific dialect of an Italian local language)
Jim l'ěra a drě a scultêr la mûṡica coun i ôc' ėsrê.
/dʒim 'leːrɐ (ɐ) dreː ɐ skʊl'tεːr lɐ 'muːzikɐ kɒ̃ʊ̃ j‿ɔːtʃ e'srεː/
Glossing this one is kinda hard, but I can say that "l'ěra a drě a" is a progressive construction, literally meaning "he was behind of" and probably with the same origin of French "être en train de". What follows:
DET.FS music with DET.MP eye closed
Although plural exists in Emilian, it's not marked on most masculine nouns. Notice that I put a tittle over the first <e> in <ėsrê> because that <e> is there for euphonic reasons.

Heh, I love the way someone who sees this without having studied griuskant and doesn't see the gloss would inevitably think muisk was the griuskant word for music.

Image Silvish:

[ˈdʒim ɔk.kuˈta.va de.myˈzi.ka luˈʒyː fɛˈma]
Jim listen-IPF.3S PART music DEF-M.C.PL eye.PL close-PSTP.M.C

Jim was listening to music with his eyes closed.

In Silvish, "with his eyes closed" is translated by lou jjû fermà, which is basically the noun phrase "his eyes closed" tacked onto the end of the sentence with no special marking. Nice and simple.

Just noticed this. Isn't tojite rather than shimete the usual verb when talking about eyes?

"seed of man" is a translation sound to sense of "Jim"...
