Lesson Two

Welcome to Lesson Two. Here I have some random, non-specific vocabulary - don't worry, I'll organize some more specific basic vocabulary in lesson three. =P But first, some random vocabulary and VERB CONJUGATION! Hurray!

Remember, to form a precise idea, you can combine any of these words in whatever order best suits your concept. If you notice any of this vocabulary can be split into separate words, PLEASE TELL ME! It's very important to Ictil . . .

Here is some vocabulary first with some information on each word:

Neh ----- Sounds similar to "meh" except with an N sound instead of M. This word can be used with any tone to express frustration.

Strong ----- sao ----- Obvious pronunciation. This word has basic tone use and can be negated to form "weak."

Fast ----- x'il ----- zeel ----- Basic tone use and can be negated to form "slow."

Rich ----- guhrú ----- koo-hROO ----- G is pronounced like a combination of K and G. Basic tone use and can be negated to form "poor." Eguhrúka is the word for "middle class."

Tall ----- hej ----- hehzh ----- Basic tone use and can be negated to form "short."

Big ----- tja ----- chah ----- "tj" has a sound between a hard "ch" and soft "sh" sound. Basic tone use and can be negated to form "small."

Taste ----- om ----- It came be either a noun or a verb. Basic verb tone use and cannot be negated - except when used as a verb.

Kind ----- fai ----- Basic tone use and can be negated to form "mean."

Annoying ----- tysk ----- Can be used as both a verb and an adjective. Basic tone use.

Empty ----- nan ----- Basic tone use.

Amazing ----- fua ----- Basic tone use.

Fun ----- dym ----- dighm ----- Basic tone use and can be negated to form the word "boring."

Windy ----- ichi'imi ----- ee-CHEE-ee-mee ----- Basic tone use.

Warm ----- zi ----- Basic tone use. Can be negated to form "cold."

Lazy ----- lam ----- Basic tone use.

Smart ----- dit ----- Basic tone use. Can be negated to form "stupid."

Crazy ----- xixi ----- Basic tone use.

Sunny ----- ilosi ----- Basic tone use.

Busy(occupied) ----- sen ----- No particular tone use.

Busy(in a rush) ----- d'hal ----- Basic tone use. Can be negated to form "bored."

Girl ----- kiz ----- Tones determine the age. Regular tones for little girls, older girls, and teenagers. Extra stress for women. More stress for old women.

Boy ----- lyo ----- Tones determine the age. Regular tones for little boys, older boys, and teenagers. Extra stress for men. More stress for old men.

House ----- vaas ----- No particular tone use.

Book ----- numa ----- No particular tone use.

New ----- ura ----- Basic tone use. Can be negated to form "old."

Cat ----- zis ----- No particular tone use.

Dog ----- ufe ----- YOO-fay ----- No particular tone use.

Always ----- yne ----- IGH-nay ----- No particular tone use. Can be negated to form "never."

Person ----- gen ----- No particular tone use.

Clothes ----- cot ----- No particular tone use.

Candy ------ jwi ----- No particular tone use.

You'll notice in this list that some words cannot be negated. This is because what most people would consider the opposite of these words actually deserves its own word! Before I go into verb conjugation, I'd like to point out two words.

Pure ----- re ----- ray ----- No particular tone use. This does not mean pure as in pure gold or to purify water. This word is pure on a God-like level. Regen - is the word for "saint." Reme - pronounced REH-may - is the word for "angel." This is one of the two negation exceptions. The name for God is Mereme - the reason it has a negation attached is to symbolize how God purifies your soul. Thus, the negation becomes a GOOD thing.

Evil ----- ska ----- No particular tone use. This word means PURE EVIL! Absolute pure evil. Like baby-eating and kitties-in-a-bag-for-target-practice evil. O.o Like Satan evil. The word for someone who is possessed by Satan is skagen. Skame - SKAH-may - is the word for "demon." The name for Satan is Meskame - the second negation exception. Instead of meaning not evil, Satan makes it even MORE evil!

Alrighty, now that some vocabulary has been taken care of, let's go into verbs. This is extremely easy. We will be working mainly with the verbs "to be" and "to have" today. =P

Verbs:
To be ----- te ----- tay
To have ----- ol ----- ohl

Pronouns:
You ----- J- or U-
I ----- F- or O-
We ----- Fo- or Of-
He ----- L- or Y-
They(m) ----- Ly- or Yl-
She ----- K- or I-
They(f) ----- Ki- or Ik-
It ----- Ka- or Ak-

For pronouns, you simply add the pronoun to the beginning of the verb depending on if it begins with a vowel sound or consonant sound. If a word starts with an H, the negation or pronoun must be a consonant. All verbs can be negated. The negation goes BEFORE the pronoun.

Tenses:
Past ----- Se (or es)
Present ----- Si (or is)
Future ----- So (or os)

For tenses, you simply add the tense to the ending of the verb depending on if it begins with a vowel sound or consonant sound. If a word ends in an H, the stress or pronoun must be a consonant.

The tenses are not only added to the end of verbs, but also are words by themselves. Past and Future use tones just like most other words.

Present tense is only used when talking about something rather than to someone or about yourself.

You probably noticed that the pronoun "you" doesn't have a plural form - this is because to make it into a plural, you drop the pronoun altogether.

To put emphasis on a command, you can use future tense, as if to tell someone that they WILL do something. To put even more emphasis on a command with more than one verb, you can make the first verb future tense, and the second present tense - as if to tell someone that they WILL do something NOW. =P If the command only has one verb in it, you can place the future tense in the beginning of the word, the present tense at the end of the verb, and exclude the pronoun.

You really only need to conjugate the first verb in the sentence, unless you want to put extra stress on what you're talking about or the tense.

Te - completely conjugated
You were ----- Use ----- YOO-say
You were(pl) ----- Tese ----- TEH-say
I was ----- Ose ----- OH-say
We were ----- Fose ----- FOH-say
He was ----- Yse ----- IGH-say
They were(m) ----- Lyse ----- LIGH-say
She was ----- Ise ----- EE-say
They were(f) ----- Kise ----- KEE-say
It was ----- Kase ----- KAH-say

You are ----- Ute ----- yoo-TAY
I am ----- Ote ----- oh-TAY
We are ----- Fote ----- foh-TAY
He is ----- Ysi ----- igh-SEE
They are(m) ----- Lysi ----- ligh-SEE
She is ----- Isi ----- ee-SEE
They are(f) ----- Kisi ----- kee-SEE
It is ----- Kasi ----- kah-SEE

You will be ----- Uso ----- YOO-soh
You will be(pl) ----- Teso ----- TEH-soh
I will be ----- Oso ----- OH-soh
We will be ----- Foso ----- FOH-soh
He will be ----- Yso ----- IGH-soh
They will be(m) ----- Lyso ----- LIGH-soh
She will be ----- Iso ----- EE-soh
They will be(f) ----- Kiso ----- KEE-soh
It will be ----- Kaso ----- KAH-soh

Te is the verb "to be." But it is also the verb "to exist." This is because they're basically the same. You can place "to exist" pretty much anywhere "to be" is. Like "I am an American" can become "I exist as an American." =P Past and future tense of te only have the pronoun and conjugation.

Now, I know that writing the repetitive pronunciation of each word was sloppy and probably not necessary, but I felt I should repeat it each time to get it through your head. =P Oh won't repeat it in the ol conjugations.

Ol - completely conjugated
You had ----- Joles
I had ----- Foles
We had ----- Ofoles
He had ----- Loles
They had(m) ----- Yloles
She had ----- Koles
They had(f) ----- Ikoles
It had ----- Akoles

You have ----- Jol
I have ----- Fol
We have ----- Ofol
He has ----- Lolis
They have(m) ----- Ylolis
She has ----- Kolis
They have(f) ----- Ikolis
It has ----- Akolis

You will have ----- Jolos
I will have ----- Folos
We will have ----- Ofolos
He will have ----- Lolos
They will have(m) ----- Ylolos
She will have ----- Kolos
They will have(f) ----- Ikolos
It will have ----- Akolos

Now that we have that covered, here are a few verbs for you to practice conjugating:

to play - x'hy
to laugh - z'hal
to walk - c'no
to run - c'nox'il^ (walk + very fast)
to jog - c'nox'il- (walk + fast-ish)

That concludes the verb lesson. See how easy it is? If there's any way I can make the lesson easier to understand, please say something.

I hope you enjoy this language - we are working very hard on it.

Special thanks to Kayleigh for the lovely random vocabulary words! ^^
