Help your conlang fluency (2)

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

La ti nimyeke.
1SG 3SG.F love-PV
I loved/had loved/had loved her.

Paletian does screwy stuff with aspects, so that in this case this is unambiguously past and perfective, but if we switch to negative we have to use the irrealis "aspect" and the verb could litterally be in any time and aspect and we would really want some adverbs:

La ki ti nimyoze.
1SG NEG 3SG.F love-IRR
I did not love/had not loved/have not loved/will not love/do not love/etc. her.

La ki ti nimyoze bu.
1SG NEG 3SG.F love-IRR yet
I did not love/have not loved/had not loved her (yet).

Except of course if context showed this was the past, in which case the "yet" would actually mean "yet". Probably. Context-dependence is weird.

That comparison might make sense to us humans, but the Klimsani believe hatred is never necessary.

No, you're gay!

(Klimsani don't really have any shorthand insult for "gay", because they don't care.)
