Did a Sindarin translation for fun:

Sindarin

Why didn't they fly on eagles' wings to Mordor?

Selon lui, toutes les options alimentaires sont importées d’autres pays, sauf peut-être les frites et les gaufres. According to them, all the food offerings are imports from other countries, except perhaps the fries and waffles. Suponho que até as batatas fritas podem ser consideradas importações. ...

Doug drops from the rafter and walks up to the pig. "Hello, ma'am. My name is Shimmering Water," he looks behind at Blessed Guts who has also approached, "and my fellow yinrih here is Blessed Guts." The two simultaneously rear up and thump themselves on the belly. "Light sh...

Oh my Stars! It's a character from animal crossing 5000! Arrown cries in nostalgia I used to play that game when I was 80! "Ani-who now?" The pig turns her head to the faceless man, and startles onto her back, eyes wide and mouth agape. "Wait, what the hell are you?? And you have the...

A small square hatch, about the size of a pet door, opens in the far wall with a sound like stone grating against stone. A few seconds later, a small humanoid pig (imagine an Animal Crossing-style pig ) comes tumbling out in a blur, landing in a heap, stunned. The hatch closes the way it opened, le...

I'm not sure how helpful I can be, but I am reminded of JBR's Pleistocenese conlang where in some grammatical areas he actually made it more complicated, since as he argued, early human language may have been less streamlined and harder to learn than we'd expect. As an early human language, it may h...

Il a aussi conclus qu'il n'existe pas de cuisine belge, ce qui me confond un peu. They also reached the conclusion that there is no such thing as Belgian cuisine, which confuses me a bit. ¿Como ocurre eso? Los belgas son bien conocidos por su gofres y su chocolate y su... ¿guisos de pescado? *mira ...

Voy a ir a casa después de estar en la ciudad para el fin de semana. Me alegra de que me las arreglé para encontrar algo de comer esta mañana~ 这个周末在城市以后，我正要回家。高兴早上设法找到了点吃的～ Zhè ge zhōumò zài chéngshì yǐhòu, wǒ zhèngyào huí jiā.

Ṣarixnɔ Lqɔ`abeð B'Arɔmayyɔ, Arɔ Eni Lškaḥeh. I have to make use of it often, so I can't forget it ¿A menudo usas el arameo? Estoy muy celosa~ 你常用阿拉姆语吗？我非常嫉妒你呀～ Nǐ cháng yòng ālāmǔyǔ ma?

No tengo muchos problemas con estudiar en casa (? ¿existe una palabra para 'homeschooling'? ) I don't have a lot of problems with being homeschooled «Educado/a en casa» parece ser la frase habitual. “在家自学”好像是常用语。 "Zài jiā zìxué" hǎoxiáng shì chángyòng yǔ. "Educated at home" seem...

La escuela ha comenzar, así que estoy en una clase de español otra vez. School has begun, so I'm in a Spanish class again. Olvidé mucho... I've forgotten a lot...

Chagen appears more often on the CBB Discord if you're still interested in getting in contact. I don't think they have many conlang projects they're still working on other than Pazmat though.

Are you conlangs have /ɣ/ as a rhotic sound? Many natlang have, but only a few conlangs do it. What is a "rhotic" anyway? In my idiolect of German, I have the following changes: r > ɣ in onsets, and r > a̯ in codas (and I am planning to have this change in a conlang, too). But is /ɣ/ a &q...

Astrology (i.e. sun signs) did no better than chance. Pff, I never like when academics limit astrology to just being about sun/star signs (but to be fair, that's what a lot of pop astrology is too). I didn't think there was much to astrology, and to be honest I felt my sun sign had nothing to do wi...

I was thinking a lot of languages have really interesting idioms and phrases used to encourage and lift up people, and decided I should make a thread for it and figure out some for Yorkish. I'll make three categories (of course, with overlap) and give some English examples as inspiration: Congratula...

"Inu ni nee, alright," Demi says, poking her tongue out in turn. "Do you know what time they open? Ooh, how do you say that in Amarin, and 'What time is it?'"

Demi blushes, "Oh, right! 'Mapasa'." She opens her book again to look back through her notes for a few seconds before she remembers herself. "Pleased to meet you all," she says and looks to Uminata, "Uhh, did I hear something about food earlier? How do you say 'I'm hungry', ...

"Hi! Sorry I'm late!" Demi rushes in with an Amarin handbook and pen held tightly in her hand. From the flapping pages briefly visible, you can see they are covered in notes. "Sorry!" she says with a sheepish grin, "I was busy admiring the city. Paśkekamini inu tu inutamaa, ...
