Bjornsdottirs . @bjornsdottirs,

there's an english construction that expresses a negative with intent to change - «to have yet [+to infinitive]»

is there a name for this?

pro tip for any clonkers and general language learners: just start swearing on day 1

it's surprisingly much, the grammatical constructions you need while calling something a piece of shit

do you think it's possible to make a language people (who speak languages closely related) are likely to understand, but because of the circumstances of their encountering it, they become baffled, and to the limit to which they are able to explore, they're left with more questions than answers (why is the documentation from the perspective of a fictional trilingual native speaker who peppers their writing with english and esperanto)

In la lingua anònima (e uno poko de lo anglese), ma probabilemente ingrammatikale.

affiche s. m. - kosa, traditionalemente fakta de papèrio, ke propaga una idèa, ke kualk'uno/a/u ha mettuto/a/u (o ke kualk'uno/a/u metterà) in uno muro.

Videi moltos affiches in meos viaĝes traverso meo pajso, o simplemente andante a lo trevalljo. In la maĵoritate de veches, se trakta de kualk'uno ke vòle véndere me, e los altros videntes, kualke kosa.

And then there's the ones from the government.

Traverso los annos, videi affiches kreatos de uno «Komitato sopre la Admeljoratione de la Letteratie^ e de la Lingua Nationale»

^ In plus veklas versiones de lo nome de lo Komitato, se usau lo vokabulo anglese (de oríĝines romanikas!) «Literacy». Non konosko perke. Se trakta de la kapatsitate, la habilitate lektare e skribere.

how does the French neopronoun «iel» decline for case and with what gender does it agree (given that the neutral syncretized with the masculine a long time ago)

Lingva fekafiŝo, esperanto kaj angla Toggle visibility

I wonder how esperanto would sound if verbs were conjugated kvazaŭ estus ili verboj el la 4a konjugado de neolatino (je -ire) and person marking by pronouns could be dropped but the language was otherwise identical

saluton! kiel statès? (kiel vi statas?)
stato bonege, kaj vi? (mi statas bonege, kaj vi?)
bone, sed laço iomete. kien planès irir hodiaŭ? (bone, sed mi lacas iomete. kien vi planas iri hodiaŭ?)
iramos al la kafo-vendejo! (ni iru al la kafo-vendejo!)
ho, pluva! (ho, pluvas!)

the main problem I see with this is that -e can also be the 3rd person indicative, not just the adverb, and the 1st indicative ends in -o like the nominative - although ç for verbs ending in c would prevent confusion in writing (while still offering no respite for in speech)

also even the concept is cursed
