Forum:Concept Preference

Just curious what concepts you are avoiding or drawing toward in your language?

I avoid religious concepts (slight spiritual/magic but nothing overly religious like "blasphemy") while go on more about origin and purpose The Emperor Zelos 19:20, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

 * I mean along the lines of what kind of concepts in your conlang is not liked that much, as there arent words for it, while other concepts got a very word richness? The Emperor Zelos 19:47, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorta like how eskimo languages have hundreds of words for ice? idk, at least not to that extent. Quai'op doesn't have many loanwords so at that point the language is lacking. No one says, for example, "hamburger" in Quai'op. If you do, it would go as "ham pur qexr," "han pau paux" or just hamburger, but really it's just slang, not in the Quai'op dictionary. People would just switch languages to the official language of the country when necessary to use a loandowrd, or just say the word as they would in that language. However bear in mind many loanwords from the Spanish era or earlier are present in Quai'op. For example, church is "qhye'," even though "ín cre sra" is common slang in the Philippines. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 20:04, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thats a myth but the idea is correct. and alright :P though loanwords are refitted to the new languages in their structure The Emperor Zelos 20:24, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Some languages pick up more loanwords and influence than others. Quai'op did not pick up too many. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 20:19, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * All languages loan but to higher or lesser degree, and alright, any important concepts? The Emperor Zelos 20:24, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
