***Dragonish*** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pronouns: If you are or are referring to a dragon: I cha You (singular) tha he/she na we chora they thana you (plural) kha (n.b. the "ch" and "kh" sounds may look the same, but the "ch" is soft, as in Bach, not as in Chill, see? It's sorta like a growl almost.) If referring to a non-dragon: you tesh he/she nara they thesta it sel ~~~ Verbs: to eat fein (stress the "i") to be/exist ahna to travel/fly deiamar to fly to deinor (+ arn* destination) to speak entor to threaten darga to have/possess nahn to land undein to sleep demar to wake damor to be woken/disturbed en takha to fight khantakha to kill martur to find tendor to want/choose meskar to be friendly towards en barun to be hostile towards en tarok *see below ~~~ Useful stuff: yes dem no dana all kess none/nothing tur with kem without san knowlege kharfen home senkatsta sun khala moon kiratur for the purpose of manchana in direction of (to) arn ~~~ Colours: Colour Light Dark Gold far fir Silver san sin green dar dir red kar kir black pao pio blue tarn tir yellow nem nim brown esti isto copper mal mel ~~~ Questions: who chem what charn when cherna where charum why chara how chumir also, for a question, the word "skar" is put at the end of the sentence. ie: "Cherna skar?" = "when?" (n.b. for all of these, the "is" is implied, as in: "Who is that?" becomes "Who that?" when literally translated. It would be "Chem na skar?" in dragonish) ~~~ Tenses: future feor past desta ~~~ Sentence construction: Okay, this is the important part. To make a simple sentence, you need the verb, person/object and a description, in that order. For example, If I wanted to say "I find treasure", it's "tendor cha galdio" (verb "to find" + I + treasure) To say something like "He threatens me", it's reversed so it's "cha darga na" like (I'm threatened by him) same with "You woke him" "na en takha tha" Questions are as above, but I'll repeat: To ask something like "why are you hostile towards me?" it's "chara cha en tarok tha skar? Tenses go in front of the whole sentence, like "I killed it" is "desta sel martur cha" (like "in the past + it + was killed by + me") ~~~ Greetings: formal hello damor kemkhala informal hello ahna barun goodbye: 1st dragon deinor khala 2nd dragon on kiratur ~~~ Politeness: before name= dragon's colour and rank eg. Fallimar = far khala Falimar Keshalan ("Keshalan" (Kesh'laan) is Fallimar's second name, and Fallimar must be spelt "Falimar" because there are no double letters in dragonish)
