This conlang looks cool. I'm interested to see more. Strange orthography though.

...is everyone gonna ignore how Chagen just told us all a very personal problem of his.

...a bizarre and tortured set of "rules" which quite often make zero sense and were made up years ago by a bunch of old white men with an intense hard-on for Latin. This is literally exactly how I personify this kind of bollocks. It's hard being a linguist. You're one of an extremely smal...

Read some of this, and it's settled. Italiano shall be my third language in Uni.

Don't call someone "dumb" simply because they lack certain knowledge. The point of coming here isn't to be called "dumb", but expand your knowledge through scrutiny. Equally; Please listen to our advice. We really do know what we're talking about here.

It's a case (no pun) of terminology. No one will understand if you don't use semantics they're familiar with.

How did they come to get their alphabet from the Greeks? How "advanced" were they? Infrastructure?

Your understanding of Patient and "tertiary" (never heard that before) is wrong. The phrase "to the shore" is a prepositional phrase marking destination . I have no idea what "tertiary" is, but in your example it's the object/patient. At least, though, making the accusa...

Every language I've seen except English merges the habitual and progressive at least some of the time, if not always. In my conlang this is indeed the case, and perfective and "imminent" as I call it (just about to, almost like an anti-perfect). I'm thinking of using the perfect to indicat...

I said it the way you found strange. It's by the logic of there as such being two separate words.

Germanic languages (especially those from Norse), Finnish, Latin, Italiano, and Quenya. There are other, very minor influences, as well, but those are the main ones.

I think we may have a new type on our hands.

Perfectionist: Keeps trying new things in order to make the perfect language. Like a scrapper, but each "new language" is just another attempt at the same thing. Each sketch is almost identical to the previous.

Had quite a stimulating discussion about the logical nature of double negatives. Your opinions? Is concord lacking in logic, or is it simply a different way? We came to the conclusion that polarity IS better, allowing greater ease of expression. I'm unsure, however, whether he agrees with me about t...

Seems the only person who's understood me so far is MrKrov.

I both like the sound and etymology behind that. I'm interested in your Conlang now.

Ich sehe nie fern. Immer Youtube für mich.
I never watch TV. Always Youtube for me.

Scrapper turned loyalist. The whole time I was trying to create the perfect language (of coursel, perfect in my opinion).
