Yaufulti lefiisuinai tuyeleyau, sufuzupisuinai lukukaifansuyaupai lenakisuinainugui tuyeleyaupa.
yaufulti many.count-long-word have-agr-agr, indef.count-build-word ipfv-giant-like-agr-agr=because=and many.count-end-word-bit have-agr-agr=because
Yaufulti has many long words, because it really likes compounds, and it has many inflections.

As a bonus, here's an experimental orthography of Yaufulti using Japanese kanji and hiragana:
やう話ちれ長詞持れやう、す建詞ろ巨好すやうぱいれ末詞少持れやうぱ

(incidentally, if I decide to continue using that, I do have one or two problems with hiragana – one is that I need a symbol for coda L, for which I'm happy to swap around ろ for lu and る for -l, and the other is that Yaufulti has the syllable ye, and I wouldn't know what to do with that in hiragana – any ideas? It didn't come up this time around because in both cases that either of these syllables was needed I used a kanji instead)

edit again: shit never mind i don't even have the syllable e in yaufulti because consonants are obligatory so i'll just use え for ye. problem solved.

edit no 3: changed 語 to 詞

The Unicode characters that I have assigned the characters in that last Himmaswa post are: 語此詞多多短

PALET族能正写屈由字多漢族（我必正定猜原之„PALETA“）
[paˈleto tʃiˈβe‿ɪ̯ʒateˈdo‿ɪ̯ sagaˈli ˈhano || la beˈme ti̯aˈno βaˈtoɪ̯.n‿e paleˈta]
Palethian can be written with Han Characters. (I need to figure out the etymology of "Palethia".)

-族 -o forms adjectives from countries, ethnic groups, etc.
能- tiv-, tiv-, tior- to be able [to]
-正 -e/o/i -IPV
写- iliat-, iliat-, iliatu- to write
-屈 -edo -PSV[.INF]
由 íe by, with
字 sagau character
-多 -(C)i -PL
漢 han Han

我 la 1S
必- bem-, bem-, biebu- should
定猜- tean-, tean-, teanu- to figure out, to realize (that) (this one's etymological!)
原 vatuin origin
之 e of, belonging to

Of course, if I treat these character assignments as inherited from Proto-Annumahan (as I should), they would actually be totally different. But that would mean so much thinking about etymology, plus developing an alternate system for loanwords like vatuin.

No the idea was to make equivalent to saying fag: ok for me and you but not for heteros. I just thought it was more interesting than the other compound which was fanten (like-man).
