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.

Today's very hot again, 28 degrees or something. I'd never have thought I'd like some rain. Now I have to water the garden every day.

Yes, it's really summer, because 21 June has passed. But that's not important, since it's already quite the summer weather!

*1) What you said would mean "I don't speak Tautisca frequently" - most probably true, but I assume you wanted to say "I don't speak much Tautisca", which would be unidiomatic- you have to say "I'don't know much Tautisca".
Individual forms: the Pres, 1Sg. of flóditen is flódí (in IE Terms, it's a present in -ye-); the Adverb of polus "much, many" is polu, but it means "frequently, often".
Lambuzhao wrote:Tu genor mai's raudun*2).
My clan is Copper.
*2) It's possible that I translated "copper" this way at some point, but I've discarded that now; there are two synonyms, cuprun and ér, which you can use.

No problem! I'm actually happy that you're interested in Tautisca! I'm aiming for a North-Western European feel, from the period before the languages of that region underwent their apocopes and syncopes, so if it reminds you of Italic, that means I'm going in the right direction.
I haven't thought of a word for "thank you" in Tautisca yet. Maybe I go with some cognate of PIE *gwerH-, but I haven't decided yet. The equivalent of your form would be a case form of one of the expected verbal nouns, either *borti- or *bartu-.

Is there a brotherhood of a holy apple? I know only one apple in the bible, the one in paradise, but it's not holy.

(Brotherhoods are religious in nature, a kind of mixture between chivalrous order and monastic life, but not celibate. They're normally named after saints (e.g. frátrí Santar Yówannír, Santar Petrar, etc.))

Yesterday I ran 45 minutes. I never ran more than 23 minutes, so I'm happy. Unfortunately my left knee hurts, it gets injured every time I run. I should have a doctor check it.
