Although he is a blue chicken

Post by Lambuzhao »

This one just dropped in our laps!
Thnx Imralu!!



Swahili

Ingawa yeye ni kuku ya buluu asiye mzuri nataka kumla kwa sababu tembo yumo kanisani. Tembo wanapokuwamo kanisani mimi nina njaa.
Although he is a blue chicken that is not good, I want to eat him because the elephant is in the church. When elephants are in the church(es), I am hungry.

You forgot the original original language.

Well, to be fair to Lambuzhao, I only did the Indonesian for the more simple version, before I wrote the full text that this thread came from, because I don't know how to do all these conjunctions in Indonesian, but now you've done it. :-)

I'm going to gloss the Swahili now.

"Although he's a blue chicken which is not good,"

"When elephants are in (the/a) church(es), I am hungry."



FV = final vowel in Bantu-verbs, can be replaced by affixes with meaning but has no meaning on its own.
EXT = extention, an extra syllable present with short verb stems such as -l- in certain circumstances so as to stop certain other affixes from having to take the stress.
N + number = noun class, animates almost always take N1 and N2 concord markers, no matter what noun class they belong to. Classes 16/17/18 indicate various types of location.
Glossing Abbreviations: COMP = comparative, C = complementiser, ACS / ICS = accessible / inaccessible, GDV = gerundive, SPEC / NSPC = specific / non-specific, AG = agent, E = entity (person, animal, thing)

Now I'm probably butchering it and hope someone can correct anything but here's my attempt at it in Japanese:
