So... I think this calls for the ending of this thread, unless arpee can deliver something more tasty.

[arpee]

More on the language on tenses and stuff:

me pete te. - I see you
me no pete te. - I don't see you.
me pete te no. - do I see you?
me pa pete te. - I saw you.
me po pete te. - I will see you.
me sape la me pete te. - I know that I see you.
me - I
mote me - we/us

How would you say;

"You and I went into the house that can fly."?

[MrKrov]

Oh how dare you?! He hasn't made a word for go, house, or fly. Clearly we shouldn't be talking about these things! The nerve of some people.

[arpee]

How would you say;

"You and I went into the house that can fly."?

te kon me pa mope en peta loko la poten selo mope.

[Darkgamma]

How would you say;

"You and I went into the house that can fly."?

te kon me pa mope en peta loko la poten selo mope.

This looks like an oligoisolational conlang :P

[Xing]

Can you translate The North Wind and the Sun?

Make a recording for the thread?

[Valoski]

This sounds like something from Africa, not anything Romance. XD

[Chagla]

This looks like an oligoisolational conlang :P

What does oligoisolational mean?

Valosci, yeah it does seem multo Africano.

[Thakowsaizmu]

You know, I go to work for a week and I miss all this fun. Damn it.

[Darkgamma]

This looks like an oligoisolational conlang :P

What does oligoisolational mean?

Valosci, yeah it does seem multo Africano.

Oligoisolational means extremely isolational, isolational that works in small bites etc.

nope. not an actual term.

[Ollock]

Oligoisolational means extremely isolational, isolational that works in small bites etc.

nope. not an actual term.

Yeah, and I don't think it even touches the extreme.

[roninbodhisattva]

That's not what I was complaining about. Oglioisolational is just not a word.

[Ossicone]

Surprise! Darkgamma makes shit again.

[roninbodhisattva]

Surprise! Darkgamma makes shit again.

ouch.

[Ossicone]

Like normal my typing fails me. That should be:
Darkgamma makes shit up* again.

hahahahah

So...arpee has actually responded to several translation requests, and even given some scratchings of the language's grammar. That is, at least, a small step up.

teka ta paso ne nome losa teka na la poke le ta teka.
say be street of word use say for this reason it is say
A language is a form of communication which uses words, thus this is a language.

I'm guessing based on the extremely brief grammar points posted here, but if the language is head-final (by the "adjectives come before nouns" rule), then the structure here could be:

Teka ta paso. Language is a method.

Teka ta paso ne teka. Language is a method of language.
(Presumably "Language is a method of communication," but here we see the ever-present problem with minimal lexicons.)

Teka ta paso ne nome losa teka. Language is a method of word-using language.
"Language is a method of communication which uses words."


It's...glitchy. The minimal lexicon makes it kinda tautological, but there is structure here. And "na la poke le ta teka" is perfectly feasible.


So...question, arpee. You've said that your past projects were intended to be actually useful for real communication. Is that still the case for Teka?

[Darkgamma]

Like normal my typing fails me. That should be:
Darkgamma makes shit up* again.

No, this one I stole from a minimalist conlang like Toki Pona. It was actually mentioned a couple of times. No I'm not making shit up

I believe it was originally used by the author of Tuki Puna.

EDIT: Yes it is a real conlang look it up.
P.S. Not sure if it's its actual name.
