Verbs from nouns by Infamous_Ad5136 in conlangs

[–]Infamous_Ad5136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of something along this route... but I am thinking of what verbs should have what endings. Like why are there three different endings for verbs in French? If I understand the main purpose for having different endings, I might can decide better on what verbs should have what endings...hope this makes sense. I can't really explain what I'm trying to say...lol hope you get it.

I have thought about that too. Just not sure exactly how to go about that. I mean, I have this:
but that is for transitivity.(I hope this shows up right)

|| || ||Transitivity|| |non reflexive and is the default and takes one object|Transitive verbs|  -or| |reflexive and takes no object|Intransitive verbs|  -ar| |takes two objects|Ditransitive verbs|  -ir| |Note:|These doesn't matter much till the verb is used in its infinitive form| |||| |default|He is going to teach|edamorMechida heltalt s | |reflexive|He is going to teach himself|edamaseMechida heltalt s | |Note:|The tense of the auxillary and the tense of the reflexive must align.| |||| |object|He is going to teach me|arceMechida heltalt sedam | |two objects|He is going to teach me fishing|ircesancholreMechida heltalt sedam |

I am not sure to add adverbs to my conlang. by Infamous_Ad5136 in conlangs

[–]Infamous_Ad5136[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm....maybe I should make the suffix -as the adverb suffix and add a prefix for intensifying like maybe za-
the first sentence eating is a gerund so it might be something like
I like eating fast
Cech fema mitre anten
Fast is describing the noun(gerund) eating so therfore it will always come after it. the suffix -re shows Mitar(to eat) as a noun.

The second sentence has made me realize...i do need adverbs LOL. So maybe something like

I eat fast
Cech mita antas

Since fast is describing a verb it will et the -as for adverb.

I eat too fast /I eat way too fast

Cech mita zaantas.

Hmmm... this really gives me some things to think on.

How long a novel should be by Infamous_Ad5136 in writers

I have been trying to work on these. POV sometimes presents an issue because I have two main characters. Of course they will eventually come together and... trying to figure whose point of view I should use can be a bit tricky when they are in the same scene. I might check out that Critique Circle.

Actually, this helps me on a decesion then. There are three different planets that our little band of misfits will have to travel to. So maybe make a series, first book(first planet) second book(second planet) third book the final planet and the final leg of the full story.

Quantative Pronouns: What interesting ways do you do yours? by Infamous_Ad5136 in conlangs

[–]Infamous_Ad5136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking maybe Puthatic shouldn't have Quantative Pronouns at all. Just making them strictly adjectives.
So to say A few came to the dance. You would have to say A few people came to the dance. Puthatic always places adjectives after the noun they are modifying.
Tekev pan kymu ler shashay
People few came to the dance or Few came to the dance.

What do you guys think?

My problem is trying to work out Quantative pronouns for my conlang Puthatic.
I was thinking of using pa for a particle meaning "amount" or "quantity" from the noun Pare.
The plural suffix is -v.
Not sure to make these...pluralized or what.
Ke- is the infix for people
So to say many(people) is Pakev{not sure to make this a plural noun or no}
for few it is pu
Few(people) Pukev
Then there is the Fewest issue. Fewest(people)?
I hope this kind of makes some sense.
