Sinpa

Synapsis
Simpa was an Auxlang-Englang Cross language with inspiration of $$K\bar{e}len $$"Verbs" and Toki Pona. Now im reforming it to be a natural englang

Consonants
j: [j, ʝ, ʒ]

r: [ɾ, ɺ, ɻ, ⱱ, ɹ̆, r̆, ʁ̆, ʀ̆]

n: normally alveolar, but any nasal besides [ɲ] can be used.

Phonotactics
(C)V(n)

3 consonants (p, n, r) have all vowels

4 Consonants (t, k, s, j) aren't able to combine with "i" ("ti" and "ki" become "pi", "ji" and "si" become "ri")

1 Consonant (w) isn't able to combine with "u" ("wu" becomes "u")

The "n" is optional for all the combination

Pronouns
Also, "nanpi" can be used to make plural, however it has the meaning of "many..."

Verbs
All verbs derive from nouns, putting a Tense Adverb Example: noko ajen won kenta (I see you), noko ajen jan kenta (I'll see you), noko ajen ren kenta (I saw you)

Imperfect Aspect
For the imperfect aspect: If the verb is only one word long, then it uses the same verb twice, reduplicating it.

But if it's two or more words long, "nuru" (again) is putted beetwen the verb root and the tense adverb.

For example: noko ajen ajen won (I'm watching), ajen aparun nuru won (I'm telling a story).

Converbs
To make new aspects, a one-word verb is used as an auxiliar verb, the main verb is putted in the participle form, using "san".

F.E.: ipen nitinsi won ipen san rukan onwaka (A fish needs to swim in water)

Compounds
Nouns and verbs can be compounded, the compounds are always in pairs such that ABCD is (A*B)*(C*D), ABC is (A*B)*C

FE: ajen eran (eye epoch) -> ajen eran "history, time machine..."

FE: ajen aparun (eye dialog) -> to tell a story/text

If C and D are modifiers of AB, C and D are separated by "on" (A B C on D), if its necesary to put a "*" anywhere, "un" is used

For style reasons, a hyphen can be used as "un", althought is still seaded as "un" when necesary

Descriptors
All descriptors come from nouns, putting "on", beetween the root and the "complementeer", F.E.: jero on entera (land of color yellow), kena on kopen (new goverment)

Sentence Structure
Simpa has a really strict SVO word order and a set of some rules


 * 1) Simple subjects are 1 word long and there are fine, but if the subject isnt complex, a is used to separate the Subject from the Verb.
 * 2) If the sentence is negative, non is placed before the verb. noko ajen won kenta (I see you) -> noko non ajen won kenta (I not see you, I can't see you).
 * 3) Interrogative sentences are exactly like afirmative or negative sentences, but after the sentence, "ata" is used. kenta ajen won noko ata? (You see me?/ Can you see me?).
 * 4) Answers use also ata for afirmative answer and non ata for negative ones, "(non) ata rowo" can be used for: I (don't) know.

Gramatical Particles
ata: interrogative particle, answer particle

in: and, conjuntion

jan: future time, later

non: negation particle

on: modifier particle

ren: past time, ago

san: participle

un: compound partticle

won: present time, now

Integers
"insenta" adds 50 and "enta" adds 100, The structure "N enta" adds N*100, 1000: teka enta, "nenka" makes the number negative, so nenka penta is (-5).

Racionals
There are two structrures to create racional numbers:

Fractionals / Mixted numbers
Using the word "pate", it creates the reciprocal of the number, F.E.: 1/2 is tuwon pate.

If you put an integer next to this construction, the reciprocal is multiplied by that integer, F.E.: 3/4 is (1/4)*3, so it's "teran pate suro"

To put mixed numbers, put the integer, and "in", that means and, to link both together. F.E.: 3 1/8 is 3+(1/8), so it's "suro in penta suro pate", and 2 4/5 is 2+(1/5)*4, so it's "tuwon in penta pate penta"

Coma / Decimals
Using the word "kopo", we separate the integer part from the decimal part, F.E.: 1.5 is "iwan kopo penta"

"kopo" alone can stand for zero. F.E.: 0.5 can be nante kopo penta, but normally is "kopo penta", like .5 (point five)

For small decimal parts, treating them as numbers is fine, but for larger ones, it sometimes divided into 2-digit parts that are said consecutively. F.E.: 3.141592 often is spitted like "teka teran, teka penta, insenta teka tera tuwon", which trabslates to "fourteen, fifteen, ninety-two"

For repeating units "nuru" its puted after the repeating part, F.E.: so 1/3=0.3..., "kopo suro nuru", like point three repeating, and 1/6=0.1-6..., so "kopo iwan, penta iwan nuru", lik point one, six repeating.

Hours
The day begins at 6h, and it's composed in 12 double hours, divided in 2, 6 double hours, "suno" and "runa" or S and R.

To divide it into normal hours, use ipesi for initial hours and utara for finaler hours. So 21h is iwan runa utara and 14h is teran soro ipesi

Days, Months & Years
Basic Structure:

[0-28/29/30/31] entei, [1-12] raninson, [Number] anjo.

The order is Day/Month/Year

If the year number is negative, it's treated as Before Christ's year.

For example: 30/7/2021 8:57:

"suro teka entei, penta tuwon raninson, tuwon teka enta tuwon teka iwan anjo, iwan soro utara nenka suro ninuto" shortened sometimes to: "suro teka, penta tuwon, tuwon teka iwan, iwan soro utara"

Minutes & Seconds
Minutes are expresed using ninuto after a number.

For example: "noko ninuto ren tuwon teka ninuto", I've been waiting for 20 minutes (If the waiting has alredy stopped).

"noko ninuto won tuwon teka ninuto", I'm (still) waiting for 20 minutes (If the waiting hasn't stopped still).

"noko ninuto jan tuwon teka ninuto", I will (have to) wait for 20 minutes (If the waiting is now starting).

To express seconds, "sekuto" is used, F.E.: "enta tuwon-teka rowo san tuwon ninuto"

Kinship / Family system
To say other family members, just compound them in the order of moves that you need to make in the family tree

Both is used as a plural for both and as a gender neutral word. Also you can use the neutral words while creating the

Also there is a distintion beetween blood and mary relationships (nopina/nopino/nonpon vs erono/erona/eron)

If there is a word N times, replaces those words with the number + the word. Paternal grandfather: tuwon-panra

To make family words for the husband/wife family, "nopina/nopino" is used firstly and the rest are created as if "nopina/nopino" was "noko". mother-in-law: "nopina-nanra" / "nopino-nanra" / "nonpon-nanra" (LIT: wife's mother, husband's mother, married's mother).

cousins: parenton-eron-iron.
