Previously KathTheDragon, if you remember me.

Mi memba im. Mi neba se im gon.
I remember them. I didn't know they were gone.

It seems nobody has time for anything anymore.

Mi af nof taym, oba mi mek mek oda mata.
I have enough time, but I'm forced to do other things.

Wanai bahe dyadzu zye nyo.
We need a machine that creates time.

I mwemwe dyanyo ye ba nda.
Maybe a very strong clock.

I bahe ya nggogyo ye bara.
It needs huge hands.

Do baba bandya nyoi mwe dyuzwi zywe.
Then more time will fit on them.

I mwemwe u ha wanai zyewi viba da.
Maybe if we make it too big.

U ha wanai ze vwendwe u do zye nggwebye ye lu buva, do wanai li bava nggwenyo.
If we're not careful and we make a black hole on Earth, then we'd lose time completely.

I bwobwo nga do, lo vwe zyu ndwinge dyamanikii zwe zyudyi en ____ nicht a ze kein/geen a ze nicht en.
It's strange to me to see a Germanic language using en ____ nicht and not kein/geen or nicht en.

Wurde ik "keen" benutted hebben, wurde si de mening anderd hebben.
If I had used "keen" the meaning would have changed.

"Is dat keen swarte hol" wurde "Is that no black hole?" meend hebben; ik hadde "Isn't that a black hole" meend.
"Is dat keen swarte hol" would have meant "Is that no black hole?"; I had meant "Isn't that a black hole".

Edit: Corrected hole to hol.

"Is dat keen swarte hole" would have meant "Is that no black hole?"; I had meant "Isn't that a black hole".

Yes, that would also be the difference between "Ist das kein Schwarzes Loch?" und "Ist das nicht ein Schwarzes Loch" in German.

Balyuful. Ina Olandes minu nahf no difa, an mi in sahtm mi cende di difa. "Is dat geen zwart gat?" an "Is dat niet een zwart gat?" sem fo mi.
Interesting. In Dutch there's no difference, and I'm not sure I understand it. "Is dat geen zwart gat?" and "Is dat niet een zwart gat?" are equal for me.

I watched Project Hail Mary with my family last night. it wasn't a bad movie, all complaints aside.

"Is that no black hole?"

Ma ngezwe Nggilisyii gwo nge zyiwa?
What English speaker would ever say that?

Kein/Geen-i ndo ye nggwa u zyi lo nge zei dyiqi nawoni.
Kein/Geen is the usual way to negate a noun.

Nicht ein/Niet een-i nendzwa ye myegi bagi bya.
Nicht ein/Niet een differs only in a slight nuance.

Degwai zu yanot a a isn't a a didn't ... a u haze do bya wi zwe Nggilisyi.
Both are equivalent to 'not a', 'isn't a', 'didn't ... a' etc. in English.

No [noun]- ba makiti wi ngezwe Nggilisyi u hai ze sabidyekiti.
'No [noun]' is very marked in English other than in the subject.

Nicht/niet-i ndyolo zenggwa ga ya dyiqi nawoni ye qindefiniti.
Nicht/niet almost never comes after an indefinite noun.

Nai ba le zyi.
I loved it.

Ndyolyai ho u go. Ndo ngegyoi gi vi, mye ngingii ba zyane.
The book is good too. The way it's written is a bit bad, but the story is beautiful.
