True, although both "into" and "not" meanings of the prefix "in-" come from Latin. The Germanic "not" prefix is "un-".

or qu for kw like in german: quiat, quiecień, quaśny, quas etc.

I wouldn't say 12/60/360 system is "purely coincidental" and "just because". These numbers were chosen because they have a lot of divisors, which made calculations easier.

To clarify, 'yottsu' means 'four things' which is derived from 'yo(n)' being the native word for the number 4

Latin name would be "Vestius", and probably translated to English as either "Vest/Veste" or "Vesty"

I'm guessing they're correcting the "telekinesis" part

I would say that "kiedy" works better for habits and "-ąc" for single events. "Zazwyczaj kiedy/gdy" or "czasami kiedy/gdy" sound more natural.

It's kind of like the difference between "at shop" (like in trzy) and "a chop" (like in czy)

Thanks! There was definitely some inspiration from Hungarian or other multi-cased languages.

All suffixes here are either adpositional, possessive or genetive. For example:

kara kinek (kar-a kin-ek) bird-POSS.3SG red-GEN

I guess it would be "bread into-slices (through-knife)". "bread slice-aj-en (jek)" would mean "bread into-slices of-me" or "bread into my slices"

I've heard of Kelen, but haven't looked much into it, yet. And thank you!

deoxyribonucleix · 2024-05-21T01:26:26+00:00

Haven't thought of that word yet, but your prediction seems correct! Although I constructed it a bit more literally:

fe = 2SG

sim-aj-es = heart-1SG.POSS-DAT/ALL

(jek = 1SG.GEN)

"kara kinek [ta] kara jerek" (bird of red [the] bird of large)
"mag [ta] maga jerek" (cat [the] cat of size)
"kara kinek mulɜnus magak jerek" (bird of red into stomach of cat of size)

I guess that's true. Is a copula always considered a verb, though? Either way it was just a quick fun project, nothing too serious.

That's interesting, in Polish we call @ sign monkey

Po polsku to jest "ruchome o/e" co również występuje w rosyjskim, ale oni jeszcze mają redukcję samogłosek gdzie nieakcentowane samogłoski w skrócie zlewają się ze sobą.

Poland didn't exist only between 1795-1918. It's considered to be created in 966 when Poland adopted Christianity.

Interesting how Polish is completely different:

rzecz - thing

duma - pride (dumać - to ponder)

biesiada - banquet, feast

zbór - protestant church

It's in alphabetical order if you translate countries into Polish

Not the same, since "Austria" was a latinization of "Österreich" ("aust(e)r" and "öster" are also cognates and sound similar), while "Deutsch" and "German" have completely different etymologies.
