Ibiklu laap ukya Solan! I'm excited to speak with you all!

"Hay, Sol!" says Suhakkan. 17) "Ham kahi Trailsendan, Visionsan, Mariasan, Dantésan? Ukya khayffin?"

Hmmm, this is interesting; did you watch Biblaridion's Alien Biospheres Episode 15? (It just came out, and it discusses sapience.)

I stop by the fern and kneel down, closing my fist around the stems where they meet the soil, like I'm about to yank it out of the ground. Suhakkan, hamklu slaaha uftanmi? 15) "Ibiklu slaaha uftanma?" he says. "Hawþ." This second utterance is accompanied by a jerk of the head up...

"You said ṭikixlọst was fixing a net. Is that word somehow connected to the word for just 'net' ─ tlhilhsnọq ?" I ask. "And am I getting the ị́nixstẹ right?" I toss my head. That was perfect! That was really perfect, dang!! Yessssssssss [:D] It should be. If you said tlhilhsnọq ...

taa muryo?

14) "Taa uftan," he says. (The plant, by the way, is a fern.)

"You said ṭikixlọst was fixing a net. Is that word somehow connected to the word for just 'net' ─ tlhilhsnọq ?" I ask. "And am I getting the ị́nixstẹ right?" I predict that in not too long Arayaz is going to catch on to what that k/j alternation is about and it's gonna be great I...

"Kahiþra," says Suhakkan. "Ibiklu khayh ukya," he says, gesturing for you to follow him as he walks down what seems to be a well-trodden path. Using otaklu worked!! https://reactiongifs.com/r/2011/09/mind_blown.gif Incredibly, I feel better about that "You all call me"...

Ay! As navieras i bi — pointing to your bow — as navieras i ni — pointing to theirs. I point at Trailsend's bow. " As navieras i i? " I ask. Bi is canasirnehay i may: as navieras i . Okay, so we have pronouns ni for 1, bi for 2, and i for 3 ─ but the possessive particle i gets absorbed in...

Ok... I read the threads... First of all awesome idea, second of all may I join? This seems more like a storytelling adventure thread than an organized game but I figured I'd ask. I'm sure anyone can jump in at any time, the way it's going! Every thread seems to be working its own way, too. Heh, th...

6) ejan jen moghan.

"Okay," I say. "And" ─ I drop the rock ─ "what did I just do?"

"Here, may I ask how you'd say 'what's this?' in Hiding Waters?" I ask, somewhat embarrassed that I'd forgotten to establish that tool.

"Hmm." I put the rock on the ground, then pick it back up and hold it firmly in my hand. "What would you call what I'm doing to it now?"

(Sorry friends, I need to use you for an experiment XD ) I nod. "Ibi, Dantés, Marias...otaklu slaaha ipshimi." "Kahiþra," says Suhakkan. 13) "Ibiklu khayh ukya," he says, gesturing for you to follow him as he walks down what seems to be a well-trodden path. This seems ...

I'm having such a blast XD It would definitely be more efficient/faster if we just handed each other blocks of carefully-chosen sentences to translate, but telling the story and moving one piece at a time and unravelling the riddle of being understood while using as little English as possible is ju...

(I would cleanly join the narrative but Danté can't be late to everything so i'm gonna ask we Just Act Like He Was Here The Whole Time And Was Just Listening Creepily From A Distance™.) "Ah, Ibiklu laap ukya Dantésan. Kahiþra." I arrive to the village a short while after the other travele...

"I think I understand," I say. "So if, like, something about it is changing, or if it's just ... a stronger action, you might change the x to s there?"

Bi Araias niestel? Ni — they gesture at their face — Etiam niestel. Ok, so bi is some sort of second person pronoun and ni is first person? And niestel has something to do with names, it seems. " Ni Araias niestel ," I say. I gesture at Trailsend, saying, " mmm Trailsend niestel. &qu...

Hi there everyone!! I'm UnbiasedBrigade (Kai is one of my nicknames, in case you want to know). I speak English and Hindi fluently, and know bits of Greek (both modern and Doric), French, Esperanto, Bhojpuri, and a few others that I know a few small bits of, but not enough to be notable. I have had...

I toss my head again. Close! You would say 12c) qilhujuxq̇ẹ̀ . The qilh in qilhuxq̇ẹ̀ is always qilh . As for qilhijixq̇ẹ̀ and qilhijisq̇ẹ̀ ... I shift uncomfortably again. They mean the same thing, I think. I guess...if you say qilhijixq̇ẹ̀ , it's just happening. But if you say qilhijisq̇ẹ̀ , it's...
