Valkimonesh

Overview

=Setting= Valkimonesh is a language intended to aim for more natural and complex linguistics, than the obvious rigid and nonrealistic structure of common conlangs. With a harsh sound full of K's and V's, this language provides a Germanic and Russian feel to it. Although aiming to be more natural, many rules and conjugations are simple to understand, and follow a somewhat orderly structure a lot like the German language. (More to come!)

=Basic Grammar=

Verb Conjugation (Regular Verbs)
Regular verb conjugation happens to verbs that end with a vowel stem.

(working with the common verb "ahme" or "to go") Analysis: a - first vowel, hm - body of verb, e - stem of verb.

I - Vok (simply adds "k" to the end of the verb)
 * ahmek

You - Sel (simply adds "l" to the end of the verb)
 * ahmel

He - Mir (changes the first vowel to an "e" and changes the stem to "or")
 * ehmor

She - Fon (changes the first vowel to an "e" and changes the stem to "on")
 * ehmon

It - Bek (changes the first vowel to an "e" and changes the stem to "ok")
 * ehmok

We - Huk (changes the first vowel to a "u" and changes the stem to "k")
 * uhmk

They - Tir (changes the first vowel to a "u" and changes the stem to "i")
 * uhmi

Other regular verbs include "kele" - to write, "suve" - to swim, "krole" - to make, "ahmverne" - to ride (a bike), etc.

 

Verb Conjugation (Irregular)
Irregular verb conjugation happens to verbs that don't end with a vowel stem.

(working with the common verb "uhm" or "to be") Analysis: u - first vowel, hm - body of verb.

I - Vok (nothing is conjugated)
 * uhm

You - Sel (simply adds "t" to the end of the verb)
 * uhmt

He - Mir (changes the first vowel to an "e" and adds "e" to the end)
 * ehme

She - Fon (changes the first vowel to an "e")
 * ehm

It - Bek (changes the first vowel to an "e" and changes the body to "t")
 * et

We - Huk (nothing is conjugated)

Sentence Structure
In simple terms...

I. Who ever is commiting the verb (or other verb, like in example text #1)
 * II. What is being affected by the verb
 * III. The verb itself

''ex. I. Vok II. ron speki Moinf III. rikek ro' Rikte''

''trans. I. "I" II. "the little boy" III. "give a gift"''

"I give the little boy a gift"

I. and III. switch when asking a question:

''ex. I. Vok II. bruhmek sel III. frakt''
 * meaning... "I can help you."

''ex. III. Frakt II. bruhmek sel I. vok''
 * meaning... "Can I help you?"

Possession
When a thing (noun) belongs to some one, we must look back at the pronouns vok, sel, mir, fon, bek, huk, and tir.

Simply add "me" to pronouns to show possession.

ex. "vokme Vernahm" or "my bike"

''ex. "Vok mirme Kelst phekek." or "I want his car." (...literally, "I his car want.")''

Plurality
When a thing (noun) becomes plural, simply add "e" to the end of the noun to show plurality. (if the noun does not end in a vowel, than it's just a word that is both singular and plural... much like the word "moose" is both singular and plural.)

''ex. "Vok hol Kelste samek." or "I buy many cars." (...literally, "I much cars buy.")''

''ex. "Mirme Kemeholt Vernahme kemok." or "His store sells bikes." (...literally, "His store bikes sells.")''
