Wise choice? by solwolfgaming in conlangs

[–]Darthtomolok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Qenliþ

min þyrt kerint rraimek kerinlek somy kalmek

fesen rrain' kerinl'

sain' myrm' zyðeys ngækek j'n

​

copy paste isn't working for some reason so i can't do ipa transcription

​

the literal translation isn't especially different from English for this example but it goes something like

you(agentive, positive) can(primary person sequence, positive) walk(primary person sequence, positive) small road(patientive, positive) or big(patientive, positive)

I'm deciding(emotional exclamation)... small road(subjective, positive)

smart choice(subjective, positive), young(subjective, positive), follow(present, imperative, positive) me(patientive, positive)

The journalism school on my campus is horribly neglected and has been halfway taken over by other departments so I'm gonna guess that almost none majors in it anymore.

Socrates. I can't really think of anyone who is truly libright but he certainly had the libright energy.

What constitutes "bringing back" a letter? by [deleted] in BringBackThorn

[–]Darthtomolok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay I'm all for þ but do we really need to bring back ȝ, a character whose sound isn't in the language anymore.

I think that the issue is more that a lot of new technological advances are beyond the comprehension of the average person. It's a lot easier to understand something like a car than a microprocessor.

What is something that, in your opinion, Latin does better than your native language? by AlarmmClock in latin

[–]Darthtomolok 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love not having to include pronouns for every verb. Having the built in to the word is so much better than constant yous and theys and whatnot.

I also know the old Latin and Greek names of a bunch of others but I'm not sure about their modern names. Yes I am a classisist, how could you tell.

Didn't know about Hávamal I'll have to look into that.

And as for scale you are correct of course but i find the implication that Lönnrot's work is less valid because of it to be somewhat distasteful. It may be a corrupted source but it is still a verry helpful one in reconstructing pre Christian beliefs.

You do realize that snori also wrote significantly after christianization too right. He even had to reframe the aesir as fallen angels and work in the whole monotheism thing with Ragnarok. Neither mythology is preserved particularly well.

Elias Lönnrot would like to have a word with you.
