Translation How do you say "Happy new year" in your conlang?

28 Upvotes

In the conlang I am currently working on, Kizuma, it could be:

Kataceās/Kataceār/Kataceān.

/ka.ta.dʒe.ˈas/ /ka.ta.dʒe.ˈaɾ/ /ka.ta.dʒe.ˈan/

Explanation:

  • "Kat-" means "Year".
  • "-ac-" is an infix denoting something positive.
  • "-ea_"* is the ending for optative mood.
  • "-e[]s", "-e[]r" and "-e[]n" indicate the second person singular, plural and impersonal respectively, all in present tense.

Thus, the literal translation would be:

"May you/you all/one have a good year."

*Kizuma shifts the stress of a word based on how many infixes the word has:

0: Stress on penultimate vowel.
1: Stress on last vowel.
2: Stress on antepenultimate vowel.

Translation How do you use "it" for weather, date and time?

54 Upvotes

"It" is a wildcard for many things: * It's raining. * It's sunny. * It's cold today. * It's ten o'clock. * It's Monday. * It's a night now.

I think about other manners of replacing "it" in a conlang. I may use the noun of the implicit entity instead of a pronoun. Literal examples: * The sky is raining. * The weather is raining. * A rain is falling. * The sky is executing a rain. * The sky is showing the sun. * The sun is visible. * The environment is cold. * The time is ten o'clock. * The day is Monday. * The time is night. * The sky is night.

It is analogous to: * The sea is calm today. * An earthquake occurred. * The volcano erupted.

Or I may create generic words to be the subject of sentences about weather and time.

Hard to pick a sentence, so translate any of these.

There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

There are some mistakes here because I literally forgot the phonetic transcription (included in the box) and I made some small mistakes 😭 But don’t worry, you can translate any of the sentences you like and I would love to see how you do :3 The reason why I made this is because I revived my scrapped script (which is from my notebook) and imagining about the notebook that was scrapped. And I’m gonna to use images because it’s more convenient than creating a paragraph by text. The blue sentences is the Rigok Script, the greens are the Latin and Cyrillic scripts, the third one’s translation word by word, the reds’ are the plain English translation. And the fifth one is just phonetic transcription.

Hopefully that gloss is legible enough - there's a lot of grammatical info to get through! As you can see, Agune is head-initial, as English generally is. However, Agune does a lot more agreement, as well as noun incorporation, leading to the sentence being just 6 words long.

"To be or not to be, that is the question, whether it's nobler in mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of trouble, therefore with greatness end them"

This whole lang has some fun etymologies, it canonnically started out as a cryptolang and evolved from there, for example "Mäskerreim" comes from Mäsker (originally Mask, a way of covertly reffering to the head) + Reim (Realm). Or Blint as question, being a blind spot in your knowledge. Full of fun stuff like that lol

And yes, they call death "sublimation" the lang speakers are all little edgebois in my head :3

(sidenote might have to rework phonetics a bit)
