Conlang fluency thread

[quinterbeck]

Nona yeallane oryad
It seems pretty plausible to me

[KathTheDragon]

Because -u is a suffix attached to the clitic, not the other way around.

Mi redi de ya olda taym, oba mi in af no mata fi tok bo it. Mi a longga tahn "Obit Ya" cata 4, oba im co wikit wan, an im pas nof taym pas mi di sapos.
I was here all the time, but I haven't got anything to talk about. I'm still translating "The Hobbit" chapter 4, but it turned out to be a dreadful one, and it [the chapter] takes a lot more time than I had expected.

We’re all here to argue, that’s what this board is for!

(Grammar notes: in addition to being a locative, sil ‘stand’ also has a thematic meaning: sil fas tsek ‘here stand that = here is about that’.)

Congratulations! (Sadly, no way to say this yet in any of my conlangs…)

It doesn't bother me that Bradrn asked me questions, because sometimes other people can spot things I didn't.

Slow but meticulous.

I had to do a bit of a restart on the grammar, but nothing too dramatic, just finessing the syntax section(s). However, I have made good progress on lexical issues and I have made huge strides in my revision and update to the Omyatloko writing system. I don't have any timeline for these things, but I'm hoping to get the grammar up before 2021.
