Individuality

Post by Micamo »

(Translation source.)

English:

My words are easy to understand
And my actions are easy to perform
Yet none other can understand or perform them.

My words have meaning; my actions have reason;
Yet these cannot be known and I cannot be known.

Agyonnar:

Nare Dzo ma yadhar de dzino zen
A yabel bomir de dzino zen
Dai vamo yadhar o bimo zo lur.

Nare dzo ma dheloz mathe; Yabel maronde mathe;
Dai veri bardha non a Dzo bardha non.
My pronouns are <xe> [ziː] / <xym> [zɪm] / <xys> [zɪz]

:pol: Moje słowa są łatwe do rozumienia
A moje czyny są łatwe do popełnienia
Chociaż nikt inny nie potrafi ich zrozumieć ani popełnić

Moje słowa mają znaczenie; moje czyny mają powody
Chociaż nie można ich ani mnie poznać.

:nor: Ordene mine er lett å forstå
Og gjerningene mine er lett å gjøre
Men ingen annen kan forstå eller gjøre dem

Ordene mine har betydning; gjerningene mine har grunn
Men disse ikke kan kjennes og jeg ikke kan kjennes.

(I'm not fluent in Polish or Norwegian, so mistakes are likely and corrections are welcome. :-D

It is correct, but I would change the last line to "Chociaż nie można poznać ani ich, ani mnie". It just sounds better.

My words are easy to understand

And my.masc intention.nom(obj)-PL.neut easy.adv perform.inf-COP be-PL3.neut(obj)
And my actions are easy to perform

Yet not-one.nom(hmn)-SG.neut they.acc(obj)-PL.neut can understand.perf.inf and if perform.perf.pst-SG3.neut(hmn)
Yet none other can understand or perform them.

My.masc word.nom(obj)-PL.masc mean-they.masc(obj); my.masc intention.nom(obj)-PL.neut clear-PL3.neut(obj)
My words have meaning; my actions have reason;

Yet these cannot be known and I cannot be known.


COP = connecting copula, similar to
 ~て verb form in Japanese.
obj = object, thing.
hmn = human, person.
 
SG = singular form
SG1 = I
SG3 = he/she/it

PL = plural form
PL3 = they
