Sryanonese: A brand new language

sryanbruen · 15-11-2015 5:54pm

Saying your birthday in Sryanonese is fairly easy as you translate the phrase nearly literally! So for example,

My birthday is on the eleventh day of November (it actually is :pac:)

Uail biebes dest ton norf s'hipon bes ia novimbrée
(My) (birthday) (is) (the) (on) (eleven) (day) (of) (November)

I find myself so intrigued by this thread and indeed this language, will definitely keep my eye on it.

Niemoj · 15-11-2015 6:34pm

Jaysus where're my manners eh?

Thank you very much

Speaking of manners

.

Thank you - Iodú phai
Thank you very much - Iodú phai mi-li (always remember that "very" ("li") comes after the word you want to say in English that emphasises)
Excuse me - Excuizaime (pronounced ex-gwiz-ah-meh), no need to put in "Uai" in this phrase (which is me or I)
Please - Pliedír
Mind your manners - Vallum gut / phaint mineire (your choice for the "your" part but preferably "gut" by the sound of it)
You're welcome - Phai dien riem
May I - Maine uai (no difference from the month, May which is also MAINE)
Pardon me - Pardaime (again no need to put in the 'Uai')
I'm sorry - Uai dest soir
I am very sorry - Uai dest soir-li
No problem / bother - Baes príebla / bríebla (might be confusing at times)

As can be seen from the past few vocabulary, most of the time in Sryanonese, things can be taken literally as in translated the exact same way as they would in English. Notable differences, however that you've seen:

*Very comes after the word you emphasise in Sryanonese
*When doing prepositions such as "out of the", "in the", "on the" etc, "the" always comes first in Sryanonese. For example,
In the = Ton plakill = literally translating as "The in"
*When talking about the time such as "Half past" or "Quarter past" - "Past" comes first in Sryanonese. For example,
Half past = Luím hial = literally translating as "Past half"
*When translating the names of the tenses such as Past Tense or Present Tense - "Tense" always comes first in Sryanonese. For example,
Past tense = Nontíot luím = literally translating as "Tense past"
Present tense = Nontíot luíp = literally translating as "Tense present"
Future tense = Nontíot luíc = literally translating as "Tense future"

It is in the past tense = Rei dest ton plakill nontíot luím

Aiduin is an irregular verb and in English, it translates as the verb "To have". Hint: For the past and present tense, nearly every pronoun's ending is the same as "Éloin" (To be).

For example,

Éloin - Uai dest
Aiduin - Uai aidest

Éloin - Rei deos
Aiduin - Rei aideos

*The only difference (apart from some of the pronouns' endings, lei and luie in the past tense in particular) is that "ai" is put in front of the ending.

Nontíot Luím - Past Tense

Uai aideos
Phai aideos
Rei aideos
Trei aideos
Lei aideosríl
Luie aideosríoun
Reie aideos
Treie aideos

Nontíot Luíp - Present Tense

Uai aidest
Phai aidien
Rei aidest
Trei aidest

You have already learnt 7 of the 23 irregular verbs in Sryanonese! P.T. = Present tense

Tias - To turn
Éloin - To be
Nimbí - To take (P.T. only)
Siopp - To play (P.T. only)
Míon - To like (P.T. only)
Toogias - To do
Aiduin - To have

In the next two weeks, I am planning on giving the other tenses of the verbs I marked that I only gave the present tense for and another 4-6 irregular verbs which will bring you up to 11-13 irregular verbs out of the 23. Jesus, didn't realize I was that far ahead in giving these conjugations and lessons.

Here is the present tense of nimbí:

Uai nimba - I take
Phai nimbia - You take
Rei nimba
Trei nimba
Lei nion
Luie niev
Reie poiane
Treie poiane

Examples of sentences involving Nimbí:

Phai nimbia norf ton cedi - You take on the clock
Lei nion líon fibrat cedi astaín - We take a long time coming (literally "we take a long clock coming")

Correction of myself: "ton norf" - the other way round

Answering to a question such as "Si-ire í phai?" - How are you? is very easy in Sryanonese. You simply say "I feel _____" or "I am _____". BOOM, there's your sentence.

Uai dest granpo - I am grand
Uai dest feelín granpo - I am feeling okay (grand)

sryanbruen · 18-11-2015 9:57pm

Is Sryanonese getting any easier and straightforward or is it still complicated to y'all?

Nate--IRL-- · 18-11-2015 10:08pm

It all sails over my head, but I've found it interesting nonetheless. Always had an aversion for learning other languages since (because of) school. I never really paid attention to how language is constructed. Seeing one created from scratch kinda makes the construction easier to comprehend.

sryanbruen · 19-11-2015 6:34pm

Thank you very much - Iodú phai mi-li
I am very sorry - Uai dest soir-li (I am sorry would be "Uai dest soir")
A good start is half the battle - Dest stearíon goode líon ton hial liev
A good start is half the work - Dest stearíon goode líon ton hial jobíon
You're welcome - Phai dien riem
Mind your manners - Vallum gut / phaint mineire (again you choose the "your" part, gut OR phaint)
A language lives if it's spoken - Iesttol lean líon riaon rei dest feilchuim
No problem / bother at all - Baes príebla / bríebla eu iad

That's all the phrases I have come up with so far

Vocabulary

Liev - battle
Jobíon - work / to work
Soir - sorry
Goode - good
Riem - welcome
Vallum - mind
Iesttol - lives (present tense of iestíon - to live)
Lean - language
Riaon - if
Feilchuim - spoken
Iad - all

*One thing to say before I go onto the topic is notice that lí = verb and li = very? When speaking, how can we separate each from nearly the same sound, well,

Li is pronounced like - lEE (2 e's)
Lí is pronounced like - lEEE (3 e's)

^ Always remember this and try not to get confused

Notice also how lí is built into the following:

Regglíe - Regular verbs
Irreglíe - Irregular verbs
Abnormlíe - Abnormal verbs

Anyway, people may find it confusing when to use an inflected form of the verb or the infinitive in Sryanonese.

*Well, when saying "It's" - You say Rei dest - which is literally "he is".

*When saying words such as "gives" without a pronoun or object or name, you say the inflected form of the verb like it were a Rei or Trei (he or she).

*When saying words such as "work" or "start", you use the infinitive form of the verb, you do not use it like in English when you say for example, "I work" (no s) or "We work". You use the INFINITIVE!!!

Hopefully, this clears confusion?

sryanbruen · 20-11-2015 7:54pm

Adjectives are among the hardest Sryanonese words to learn as they rarely share a similarity with their English counterpart.

Rann - Friendly
Puliti - Boring
Pounta - Nice
Donesu - Fat
Whoreh - Tall
Azange - Short
Pavara - Huge
Bater - Small
Spulfa - Deep
Fibrat - Long
Gatous - Big
Wencas - Thick
Syneis - Wide
Eostor - Thin
Citari - Narrow
Ithern - Smooth
Myxiss - Bitter
Pownew - Fresh
Toterv - Salty
Cohipa - Sour
Ladeou - Spicy
Lychar - Sweet
Kegour - Bad
Slueba - Clean
Syrocie - Dark
Liotate - Difficult
Opuraet - Dirty

Palcokavic - Light
Goode - Good
Fyreh - Local
Agomi - New
Towee - Noisy
Oreou - Old
Ligma - Powerful
Vexto - Quiet
Dinal - Slow

In most of my example sentences from now on, I am gonna be using more adjectives to help learn them as fast as possible!

sryanbruen · 20-11-2015 7:58pm

The Superlative Adjective in English is when you say for example, best, greatest or most amazing etc.

To say the NIEMBERT TON GULIOLOGRA in Sryanonese, you simply have to learn off vocabulary to do with the adjective - normally is a simpler version of the word.

For example,

Hard = Sealt
Hardest = Sael

Soft = Eupocl
Softest = Eup

I will give a list of Niembert Ton Guliolograe someday!

sryanbruen · 20-11-2015 8:08pm

Here is a sample conversation in Sryanonese:

Uai: Sevit!
Phai: Sevit!
Uai: Si-ire í phai?
Phai: Uai dest granpo!
Uai: Si-even nu ti reen?
Phai: Litz reen nu Ross.
Uai: Si-rie í phai to?
Phai: Uai iesttol plakill Eieren.
Uai: Si-pol rie phai diontar?
Phai: Si-neve phai poutan?
Uai: Granpo, morat vallum.

A strange conversation in my opinion

. Here is the English translation

Me: Hi!
You: Hi!
Me: How are you?
You: I am grand.
Me: What is your name?
You: My name is Ross.
Me: Where are you from?
You: I live in Ireland.
Me: When were you born?
You: Why you ask?
Me: Okay (grand), never mind.

sryanbruen · 20-11-2015 8:18pm

*Notice:

How "Si-rie" = Where

whilst

"Rie" on its own = Were

This only goes for questions because if you want to say like "You were", you say the past tense of Éloin - To be = Phai deos.

sryanbruen · 21-11-2015 12:31am

Man - mirtek
Woman - virtek

Dad - dád
Daddy - dádí

Auntie - áintir
Uncle - unclir

Godmother - treieirintgíl
Stepfather - reieirintstíl

sryanbruen · 21-11-2015 10:22pm

Rei and trei can get confusing as they are used in quite a few words in Sryanonese. This post is to put them all together and you can notice differences.

Rei - He
Trei - She
Reie - They (masculine)
Treie - They (feminine)
Reirine - His
Treirine - Hers
Reieimé (scoíal) - All boys (school)
Treieimé (scoíal) - All girls (school)
Reirint - Brother
Treirint - Sister
Reieirint - Father
Treieirint - Mother
Reieirintgíl - Godfather
Reieirintstíl - Stepfather
Treieirintgíl - Godmother
Treieirintstíl - Stepmother
Reirintstíl - Stepbrother
Treirintstíl - Stepsister
Courei - Cousin (male)
Coutrei - Cousin (female)

sryanbruen · 22-11-2015 8:00pm

There are a few more to come but these are the ones I have right now. Remember how to form the tenses of each? Look back in this forum if you don't.

Drín - To drink
Fuaríon - To cool
Cheartis - To make
Allegíon - To get (clue: Allegro = loud and you could think of it also, to get louder)
Brísón - To bring
Sienon - To seem
Deiron - To say
Hoaditíon - To hold

RedemptionZ · 22-11-2015 8:12pm

You say you want people to speak the language, yet you go out of your way to make it hard? I think what you're doing is cool but having all these irregularities seems counter intuitive.

sryanbruen · 22-11-2015 8:37pm

I did this for the LOL's but they give you some good vocabulary anyways

:pac::P

Nacht der Untoten (Night of the Dead) - Socizersing ton ia dierl
Buried - Béarí (past tense of Béaríon)
Der Riese (The Giant) - Ton gant
Origins - Fiblouge
Green Run - Glúim rúinín
Town - Tiomier
Farm - Fiomier
Bus depot - Depismarth (a mix of dep (depot) and bismarth (bus)
Diner - Duximi
Mob of the dead - Mella ton ia dierl
Nuketown zombies - Tiomier ník zoimbae
Die rise - Dierlínt risíon
Kino der Toten (Cinema of the Dead) - Cineimá ton ia dierl
Alcatraz Island - Isla Altraz
Five - S'nacy (like the number)
Dead Ops Arcade - Dierl ionópese arcáid
Shi No Numa (swamp of death) - Swí ia dierl
Verrückt (crazy) - Cott
Moon - Vilmodin
Borough - Bíllmotin
Turned - tura (past tense of "Tias")
Call of the dead - Revertíon ton ia dierl
Shadows of evil - Inquise ia eunrí

*Note: Even if the words are made up, they are translated differently, some words are exceptions such as "map" as seen in the title (with the e = maps)
*Note: Dierl is note the past tense for dierlínt - to die. When talking about "dead" without a pronoun, you use "dierl" instead of "dierlíntu" which'd you use with all other verbs - as in the pattern of endings. Dierlínt isn't an irregular verb however, it's regular! Dierl literally means "death" btw.

sryanbruen · 22-11-2015 8:46pm
