#TheDragonblood: Nemorian linking verbs include esti (to be) and vuieti (to become), giving islí and vuyiti in Common Draconoidic, respectively.

#Conlangity 14. Many Kraslan verbs end with -a, particularly -ta and -la. However, those are definitely not the only endings, and we’ve seen a prominent one that breaks away from this pattern: vy (“to be”).

As we’ve talked about before, the suffix -teó [t̪ø] is attached to 🧵

The Verbs!
Welcome to another morning of my trying to come up with something internally consistent.
The good thing is, I have a few in their infinitives

Onward!

Really attempting to murder me with this prompt, I swear. 😅

Another list of things I don't have, so this will be made up from whole cloth right here, just for you. 🩷💜🖤💙🩵💚

(Seriously, thank you for doing this. I'm bad at this.)

Doing my post tonight bc I don't when I'll have time tomorrow!

Verbs in Na'aqal are fun because I'd say about 80% of verbs are also nouns, & vice versa.

So for example, if you wanted to say someone nervously avoided something, maybe you might say "She moused out of that party" 😂

#Conlangity 14

VEEERRRRBS!

Today is one of THE most important topics. Nouns & verbs are the 2 essential ingredients in any language! We have covered nouns, so it's time for verbs.

Give us some examples of verbs in your conlang. Can any nouns also be verbs? Do you have linking & auxiliary verbs?🧵

#TheDragonblood: Nemorian 'here', 'there' and 'where' are kor, tor and por, giving Common Draconoidic łúr, lúr and pur, respectively. Gotta distinguish those L sounds!

Gonna keep short & basic as I can today.

Hin - near, or here
Vu - far (also the same word as long, but form will change depending on the sentence. Not have that figured out yet.)
Viva – in (though depending on the kind of in you might use hin)
Rora - up, or above
Lutha - below

#Conlangity 13

Alright, in Na'aqal we have 3 basic location words:

Suut: "this, here" (close to the speaker)
Hoth: "that, there" (away but still nearby)
Huuda: "that, over there" (far away)

Another of my favorites is "Aanji" (between), which has a few variations, such as "Aanjinet"...

I missed #Conlangity Day 12 and it's quite simple

Adjectives en on -is but can get the same suffix after that as the noun, and are usually used after the noun:

malil mokalis (beautiful apple)
himuki mokalisuki chamemo (I love the beautiful person)
nawa ribilis esmo (I am a free sentient being)

#conlangity 11

Oooo i'm falling behind now I tell you what.

It took some time to get enough of these other pronouns together to build them in Nivani. Here's a few. Lots to work on still.

Euhare euhanjo him her
Eahare eahanjo he she
Aliusotsu another
Plurotto more
Plurotoku most
Satibun enough

#Conlangity 13. When asking for directions in Kraslan, you say, “Ʋomoróga __ apa yaha”, which literally translates to “The path __ to what” (no, Kraslan doesn’t have “?”, but we’ll talk more about this on a later day).

A little vocabulary concerning direction/proximity 🧵

Continuing on the trend of creating these as i go, they may be subject to change.
I don’t have many as I was trying to come up with some this morning

It is usually 'here' and 'there' when indicating things in most of the country. Right and left are commonly used directions, though people use cardinal directions fairly often when giving directions, particularly in some regions.
Place names are more complicated because they

For directions, I'm going to have to make stuff up right here on the spot, because #Conlangity is teaching me to make a language and I've never done this before, so, y'know. Wu'ev.

Place-names:
Me:A'Ku-ra'ti » The Canyons of the Dead. May not be a direct transliteration for obvious reasons, but just an alternate name.
Kal:a'mit'ri-Ra'ji » Calamity Rift. Likelier to be a far more literal transliteration? 🧵

#Conlangity 13

Vocab Day again!

Today's theme is "locations." How do people describe where things are in your conlang? In English we say "here" & "there," but does your conlang have other positions (e.g. "WAY over there"?)

What about place names - "land, town, hill," etc. How are things labeled?

#Conlangity 12

#TheDragonblood: Adjectives are inflected for case, number and gender and precede the noun they modify.

The suffix -isłā́ corresponds to English -ish, converting nouns into adjectives describing resemblance to it.
