"My hovercraft is full of eels", alternatively, "My hovercraft is pregnant with an eel".

(gròf m̥oŋʲ = be.full with = full of, also used as an euphemism for pregnancy. The only real way to get around this woul be to replace m̥oŋʲ ‘with’ with læn̥ ‘from’, but that would lead to one's hovercraft having been impregnated by an eel.)

I just gotta say I laughed very hard at this. XD

(I'm still working out my genitive case/possessive particles, as well as my subclauses, so for now I decided a compound "car of floating of me" would have to suffice, aha. )

O Kanã

This gives another nice opportunity to show off some of clause-initial particles O Kanã is so blessed with. (Note that since the speaker in the original sketch is a male the masculine suffix is present on the verb).

This is a neutral delivery, as in the original sketch.

MIR CAUS-full-MASC-PL-3.ERG N-PROX swamp-above-1.ERG PL fish-snake

This is the mirative form, denoting a surprised reaction.

And this is the form using the discourse particle wacã, which is quite difficult to translate, but generally carries a sense of forcefulness or absolute confidence on the part of the speaker (so perhaps like "for sure"), or perhaps correcting an false assertion.

Validationality. (Right?)
See Tom Paine's "Describing Morphosyntax" e.g.
(I think that's the right reference; and I think I spelled the author's name right; but possibly not.)

BTW I like your conlangs’ features!

Since there is no single word for "eel" I thought that my previous version using the equivalent to "snake-fish-full" didn't sound good, so I decided to use a passive form instead.

The Rireinutire word for 'hovercraft', irusomomikaru, is, thanks to the marvel of convergent evolution, composed in a manner identical to the corresponding German word, 'Luftkissenfahrzeug', ie. air-cushion-go-thing.
