Hi, Kevin. Some thoughts on your thoughts... > > The adjectives bon (good) and mal (bad) may come > > just before the noun. > > me no gustar esta "no-regula" regula. me gustar regula tota, esemplo > 'bon' e 'mal' locar tota-ora pos la "noun". > That kind of regularity sounds good -- but mal and bon are so frequently used in speech that forcing them to go after the noun would cause one to use more ambiguous constructions involving commas and ands when more than one adjective is used. The exception is convenient. > > Adjectives are normally preceded by modifying adverbs, > > e.g. la dona vera bela, the very pretty woman. > > esta regula parer strana a me. me crear ce me plu gustar: > > la dona. > ce dona? > la dona bela. > ce dona bela? > la dona bela vera. > I was only following the universal practice in the romance (and germanic) languages here. > > The verb, when preceded by an auxiliary, is in the > > infinitive form. > > posable tus vider ce me usar tota-ora la "infinitive". > That is something you do find in some creoles. Again, you don't see it in any of the romance languages. > > Io inclui "io" per ce la parlante deve colier diferente > > ordina de parolas sin confusa. Esa ne es nesesitada, ma > > esa pare plu bela a me! > > me credar: entra la "creole", posable nos permiter multe parolas per > 'io/me'. ma entra la "pidgin", la simple eser plu importante ce la bela. > You could be right. I thought about that issue a lot. In the Milan dialect of Italian, they do actually use "me" as the subject form of the first person -- although it is actually a contraction of "io me," sort of like in English one might say "I myself..." I do think, though, that the recognition value of io (and tu and el) are considerable. For all our talk of pidgins and creoles, I don't think we are talking about people who are altogether unfamiliar with European languages! > > > Io permetava ce sustantivos finir con un consonante per > > ce la regulas de sonas de LFN permeta parolas e silabas > > finir con -m, -n, -l, -r, -s, -f, e -x. > > ma -r e -s causar no-comprende, per ce un parola con -r eser posable la > "verb" e posable la "noun". > It is possible, as we have talked about outside this group, to at least eliminate all non-verbs ending in -ar, -er, and -ir! Likewise, it may also be desirable to eliminate all non-abstract-nouns ending in -ia (for example, by simply changing such verbs to -ea).
