[Ossicone]

Txím xinkúmatxana Inyáuk

Fím kúmatxiana ínyaukahi núhaariha!

núhaar = present/soon

[Trailsend]

No way! Seriously? XD I was just guessing! Score!

Zarninahansarnairuk?

[Taernsietr]

I apologize for the english post, but are you guys getting all of this only from the pdf doc? I found everything REALLY cool, but I'm having a hard time here s:

[Trailsend]

Actually, I have purposefully not looked at the pdf doc or lessons at all. At the start I knew nothing of Inyauk (except bits and pieces from Ossicone's various threads, but I'm trying not to rely on those at all) except what I asked in my first post. I'm just riddling this out through the conversation.

Give it a try! See if you can guess what things mean, then use it to see if it works.

[Ossicone]

@Sárak: Good guess.

@Taernsietr: No, it's not at all from the pdf. But most of everything here should be covered in it. It just a fun lang learning game. If you're having real difficulty, I can pm you an explanation. Or check the section on the 'adjectizer.'

Átx. Nínairuk.
/'ninaiɾuk/




Nínaairuk.
/'ninaːʔiɾuk/

[Taernsietr]

I'll reread everything tomorrow. Right now all I can read is nínairuk and mapples. Wait, what?

[Ossicone]

lol. I recommend sticking with the lessons in the beginning. They give you a good foundation to start with.

Zarninahansarnairuk?

Átx! Nahaánsarnairuk.

[Astraios]

Txím xináyarikiam. Txím rakápatana lanátaputxat. ><

[Trailsend]

Hmm...I wonder...

Zarnínairuknaáak?

[Ossicone]

Txím xináyarikiam. Txím rakápatana lanátaputxat. ><

Ir fír nífinaaáyarikat ínyaukahi ah txínaáan. Zibírsiana?

What are you trying to say in the second sentence? And where did you get ápat from?

Zarnínairuknaáak?

Átx. Nínairuknaáak.
/'ninairuknaʔaːk/

[Salmoneus]

If you're going to induct the vocabulary one word at a time, it may take you some days to learn the entire language.

[Trailsend]

Well yes, but that's not really a problem. Once I internalize the grammar, I can acquire new vocab as it's needed. For concrete nouns it just takes a quick zarní, concrete adjectives are similarly simple, and for more abstract things, with enough concrete vocab I can set up conversations such that Ossicone will give me the words I want in a way I'll understand. I don't need to learn the lexicon all at once, I just need to know enough so that when I need a new word, I'm able to get it.

Back to business...

----------

Ooooh, that's nifty!

Okay, time for something new.

---------

I set the áaknairuk in front of you, and the áaknaihda in front of me. ((<---probably breaking some rules there, but hey! It's Engyauk ))



Nínaáak... I pat myself on the chest.




Naháak... I hold my palm out towards you.


I pat myself on the chest, then hold my hand out towards you. Zarní?

[Ossicone]

*points to sárak*

Fír iáaknairukat.
/fiɾ i'ʔaʔaknaiɾukat/


*points to self*

Txír iáaknaihdaat.
/ʧiɾ i'ʔaʔaknaixdaːt/

[Trailsend]

Delicious! Is that a circumfix? Or maybe two separate morphemes? So many questions! (Don't actually answer those, it would spoil my fun )

-----

Txír iáaknairukat, fír iáaknaihdaat. Zarpáxiin?

[Astraios]

And where did you get ápat from?

Yúpuhan:

2.1.6.3.3 Origin: ... Ex: Ním ápatalak irántxabuhan

Looking again, I guess that's a typo and I should have said Txím rakápana lanátaputxat.

Ir fír nífinaaáyarikat ínyaukahi ah txínaáan. Zibírsiana?

Ir txír nífinaaáyarikat ínyaukahi ah zirfínaáan? Ir txík áyarikana ah txínaáan! Zarní "zibírsiana"? "Nífin"?

[Ossicone]

Bwhahahaha! >:D

-----

Fínapaxiin!

*points to both of us*

Txínir áanikat.

[Trailsend]

Whooa! Can it be? Perhaps, áa<ni>k-at? Delicious indeed!

Note: Something appears to be backwards, so it's possible I misunderstood. I placed the áaknairuk in front of you, and the áaknaihda in front of me. Should I switch them?

Also, I have a list of words going: Átx, nunúnapaxiin, fínapaxiin...

-----

A, a! I point at fír iáaknaihdaat and make a snatching motion toward myself. Fír iáaknaihdaat! Txír! Txír!

[Ossicone]

And where did you get ápat from?

Yúpuhan:

2.1.6.3.3 Origin: ... Ex: Ním ápatalak irántxabuhan

Looking again, I guess that's a typo and I should have said Txím rakápana lanátaputxat.

>_> Bad editing. ápat was the old version. áp is the new one. I'm still not sure what you mean though. Unless of course you mean 'I need to be going/walking this hour.' but -utxat/-ana implies this something you are doing for the whole hour which seemed kinda weird.

Ir txír nífinaaáyarikat ínyaukahi ah zirfínaáan?

Átx.

Ir txík áyarikana ah txínaáan!

Zarní "zibírsiana"? "Nífin"?

zi- is a question marker for verbs
bírsi - to say
nífin - desire

[Ossicone]

Whooa! Can it be? Perhaps, áa<ni>k-at? Delicious indeed!

There's all sorts of fun things.

Note: Something appears to be backwards, so it's possible I misunderstood. I placed the áaknairuk in front of you, and the áaknaihda in front of me. Should I switch them?

Yes... Forgive me. I just woke up.

Let's continue with this:
Txír iáaknaihdaat.


Fír iáakairukat.


---

I point at fír iáaknaihdaat and make a snatching motion toward myself.

Fír iáaknaihdaat!

Yan. Txír iáaknaihdaiya. Fír iáaknaihdaat.

[Trailsend]

Fascinating! Okay, this needs more riddling.

To be clear, the áaknaihda is still on your side of the table?

Zariáaknaihda?

[Astraios]

Aa, rúnyaana! Txím ir rakápalana [úranaaáyarikikat?] now ah xinbírsialana.

Do you have an Inyauk name? Can I have one?


EDIT: Also: Txím rakápam núhaarutxat. Would that be better than Txím rakápana lanátaputxat?

[Ossicone]

To be clear, the áaknaihda is still on your side of the table?

Uh... no. I thought you took it. Maybe I should go back to sleep?

Zariáaknaihda?

Átx.

[Ossicone]

Aa, rúnyaana! Txím ir rakápalak [úranaaáyarikikat?] now ah xinbírsialak.
school = hírina
now = yák
so it'll be (yákiha)

Do you have an Inyauk name? Can I have one?

Yes I do. And yes, you can. But I'm going to make another thread for this.
