Never Gonna Give You Up, Never Gonna Let You Down

Post by Phantonaut of Earth »

"My name is Rick Astley, and I'm never gonna give you up"

In Ssooffos:
Ryko Ææstooy møhfi pæ' pæleæ t'yhn, le ngyng'ileefþu, yhn qu fuoöor yeë nggu
Literally: "Rick Astley is the name of me, and as for you, I will not let go of you never"
[ˈɾiːkɤ̞̙ ˈæːsˌtl̩ː.iː ˈmɶ̰fɪ pæ pæˈlɛˌæ t‿ɪ̰̃ːn lɛ ˈŋiːŋɪlɛːfˌθũ ɪ̰̃ːn qu fu.ɤ̞̙ˈɻ̩ʷː ˈiːɛ.ɛ ŋgũ]
Rick Astley COP=names DET=names name GEN-1SG, 2SG and-OBJ-TOP, 1SG NEG relinquish FUT never

I've never done glossing so something is probably funky, as is the stress in the narrow transcription. Oftentimes in particles and a few other words, word-final /ɪ/ and /iː/ elide when preceding either of those two in the next word; "t' " is from "ti", "ngyng' " is from "ngyngi". The apostrophe in "pæ' " is there because it's elided from "pæleæ", which would be done in informal speech. The diaereses demarcate syllable boundaries in vowel sequences so that it isn't read as a long vowel.

Of course, if you want to learn more, check out a video I made on this language! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

You missed the chance to take a completely different title and thereby rick-rolling the entire CBB. [xP]

Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.
