Lili

Lili is a dialect continuum of infinite engineered languages that aim to let the speaker decide how ambiguous or unambiguous to be. They offer many resources to ambiguate or disambiguate a word or a sentence. We'll be analyzing one particular dialect of Lili.

Consonants
This dialect of Lili has 16 consonants:

b: /b

c: /ʃ

d: /d

f: /f

g: /ɡ

j: /ʒ

k: /k

l: /l

m: /m

n: /n

p: /p

r: /r

s: /s

t: /t

v: /v

z: /z

Vowels
This dialect of Lili has 5 vowels:

a: /a

e: /ɛ

i: /i

o: /ɔ

u: /u

Hyphenated words
Words like "z-ca" usually mean a thing or its opposite, depending on the vowel you put instead of the hyphen. "z-ca" means "sad-happy", and is inflected like this:

zuoca: very sad (-3)

zuec: sad (-2)

zuaca: a bit sad (-1)

zuca: neutral (0)

zoca: a bit happy (+1)

zeca: happy (+2)

zaca: very happy (+3)

Also:

zoeca: saddest (<<)

zoaca: happiest (>>)

zeuca: sadder (<)

zeoca: happier (>)

The vowels are the same for every hyphenated word, with very few exceptions, which are noted.

Syntax
This dialect of Lili has a SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) word order for non-switch sentences. Ignoring "p" and "t", the elements that occupy the odd positions of a sentence are called "operands", while the elements that occupy the even positions of a sentence are called "operators". There must always be an odd number of elements (ignoring "p" and "t") in the sentence, so that a sentence always starts and ends with an operand, alternating between operands and operators. Every word is separated by an "i" or an "l", everything is lowercase and there is no punctuation. Spaces are completely arbitrary. See the following transitive sentence:

cifbadulj: I see you

c: I (operand)

fbadu: to see (operator)

j: you (operand)

This is the most basic type of sentence. Be careful, though, "cifbadu" is not a grammatically valid sentence, because it's an even number of elements. If you want to connect a subject to a verb without an object, you have to use the operator "d" between the subject and the verb. The sentence will become:

cidifbadu: I see

Please note that "I see" is meant to be taken literally, not in the sense of "I understand".

Parentheses
Consider the following sentence:

cifbaolpi cideljece: I feed my dog

c: I

fbao: to feed

p: (open parenthesis)

c: I

de: possessive

jece: dog

The same sentence without the parenthesis would have meant "the dog of the fact I feed myself", which makes no sense. That's because "deljece" ('s dog) would have referred to the whole sentence instead of just "I". A parenthesis is closed with "t", but that cannot appear at the end of a speech.

Switch
Adding an e- before any operator will switch A and B. For example:

cifbadulj: I see you

jiefbadulc: I see you

The meaning is exactly the same. Switch sentence have an OVS word order.

Verbal tenses
"z" is the operator that introduces time, while "p-f" is the operand that means "past-future". For example:

cidinak: I eat/drink (no tense)

cidinaki zipuaf: I just ate/drank (immediate past)

cidinaki zipuf: I'm eating (present)

cidinaki zipof: I'm about to eat (immediate future)

Singular and plural markers
Unmarked nouns in this dialect of Lili are neither singular nor plural. To mark them as singular or plural you need to add the operator "k" after the noun, and add sn to make them singular, pn to make them plural, or gn to make a generalization. This is optional.

rend: apple

rendikisn: an apple

rendikipn: some apples

rendikign: apples in general

The generalization marker is used in sentences like these:

aboti kigni diduesm: humans are stupid

abot: human

k: (connecting operator)

gn: generalization marker

d: (connecting operator)

d-sm: dumb-smart

Genders
After the operator "k", add the operand "na" for "female" or "vu" for "male".

ci dinak: I eat/drink

ciki naldinak: I (female) eat/drink

ciki vuldinak: I (male) eat/drink

Case prepositions
There are a lot of operators that function like prepositions that function like cases. For example, "cm" is the comitative operator, that means "in company of", "with". For example:

cidi pajb icmij: I walk with you

c: I (operand)

d: (connecting operator)

pajb: to walk (operand)

cm: (comitative operator)

j: you (operand)

As another example, "ns" is the instrumental operator, that means "by the means of".

cidina kinsizrau: I eat with a fork

c: I (operand)

d: (connecting operator)

nak: to eat/drink (in this case the context is clear) (operand)

ns: (instrumental operator)

zrau: fork (operand)

Evidentiality
After the operator "av", you can insert the source of a statement. For example:

krao: experienced event

kreu: hearsay

dop: inference (when you are sure something happened but didn't experience it yourself)

zuf: speculation (when you have no idea what you're talking about, similar to the word "might" or "I suppose that...")

Example sentence:

reldi cafalavi zuf: he/she might be sleeping

re: he/she/it (operand)

d: (connecting operator)

cafa: to sleep (operand)

av: (evidentiality operator)

zuf: speculation (operand)

You can use normal words after "av", too. Like "keck" (school). Adding "avikeck" to a sentence means you learned it at school.

Negative and interrogative sentences
After the operator "k", "u" turns a sentence into negative, while "ba" turns it into yes/no interrogative. Example:

ji naki rendi zipedalkiu: you didn't eat any apple(s) today

ji naki rendi zipedalkiba: did you eat any apple(s) today?

j: you

nak: to eat/drink

rend: apple

z: (introduces time)

peda: the past part of today

k: (connecting operator)

u: negative; ba: interrogative

It is possible to refer to only part of the sentence, to express some nuances. For example:

jikibal naki rendi zipeda: was it you who ate the apple(s) today?

ji nakipi rendikibalti zipeda: was it an apple the thing you ate today?

ji naki rendi zipi pedalkiba: was it today that you ate the apple(s)?

Types of yes/no questions
There are 9 types of yes/no question markers, according to what the speaker thinks and hopes the answer to be.

"ba": standard

"buo": the speaker thinks and hopes the answer to be "no"

"bue": the speaker thinks the answer will be "yes", but hopes the answer to be "no"

"bua": the speaker thinks the answer will be "no"

"bu": the speaker hopes the answer to be "no"

"bo": the speaker thinks the answer will be "yes"

"be": the speaker thinks the answer will be "no", but hopes the answer will be "yes"

"bau": the speaker hopes the answer to be "yes"

"bao": the speaker thinks and hopes the answer will be "yes"

Relative pronoun
"reu" is the relative pronoun operator, that means "that/who/which". For example:

aboti reulpi kacairi kruko: killer

---

abot: human (operand)

reu: relative pronoun (operator)

p: (open parenthesis)

kaca: to cause (operand)

r: (connective operator)

kruko: death (operand)

---

Yes, that's the way to say "killer" in this dialect of Lili, since there is no direct translation. There is no "-er" suffix like in English, so you need to say "a person who [does something]".

"Like"
There are four ways to say "like" to compare something to something else: use the operators "kak", "kek", "kok" or "kuk".

---

j: you

d: (connecting operator)

fauk: to smell (intransitive)

kak/kek/kok/kuk: like

kbac: goat

---

jidi fauki kak ikbac: you smell like a goat (you smell, and goats smell too)

jidi fauki kek ikbac: you smell like a goat (the smell is similar)

jidi fauki kok ikbac: you smell like a goat (the intensity is similar)

jidi fauki kuk ikbac: you smell like a goat (the smell and intensity are similar)

From an individual to a group
The operand "koze", after the operator "k", modifies a noun and turns, for example, "human" into "humankind".

abot: human

aboti kikoze: humankind

Everyday, a guy looks at me
catelki voklezipi abotikivui fbadalc: everyday, a guy looks at me

---

cate: day (period from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59) (operand)

k: (connecting operator)

vok: every (operand)

ez: (switched "z") (operator)

p: (open parenthesis)

abot: human (operand)

k: (connecting operator)

vu: male (operand)

fbada: to watch, look (at) (operator)

c: I (operand)

---

This sentence is ambiguous, because we don't know if it's always the same guy or if the guy can be different everytime. There is an optional way to disambiguate this sentence, putting "dob" after the operator "k" to indicate that the guy is always the same, and "tob" to indicate that it can change.

shatelki voklezipi abotikivul kidobi fbadalc: everyday, a guy looks at me (always the same guy)

shatelki voklezipi abotikivul kitobi fbadalc: everyday, a guy looks at me (not necessarily the same guy every time)

Expectations
"To expect" in English has two meanings: "to want", and "to think something will happen". They are translated as "casu" and "keco" respectively.

cicasul vtau: I expect (want) an answer cikecol vtau: I expect (think that will happen) an answer

---

c: I (operand)

casu/keco: (operators)

vtau: answer (operand)

Requests
After the operator "m", "rob" indicates that it's a request.

jlabo cici mirob: please hug me

j: you (operand)

aboc: hug (operator)

c: I (operand)

m: (operator)

rob: (request) (operand)

Emotions and tones of voice
After the operator "m", a word that indicates emotion or tone of voice, indicates that the sentence is said with that emotion or tone or voice.

cicasulpi clabo ciji timinuca: "I want to hug you" (said with a smile).

c: I (operand)

casu: to want, wish (operator)

p: (open parenthesis)

c: I (operand)

aboc: hug (operator)

j: you (operand)

t: (close parenthesis)

m: (introduces emotion or tone of voice) (operator)

nuca: smile (operand)

You can also use "m" as an operand, then use "r", and then the name of the motion, to use them as emoticons.

mirinuca: (smile emoticon)

Conditionals
"rac" means "therefore", and "erac" is the switch of "rac", it means "because".

jlabo cici racipi cidizaca: you hug me, therefore I'm very happy

cidizacal eracipi jlabocic: I'm very happy, because you hug me

"rof" means "if A, then B". Its switch "erof" is a bit difficult to translate in English, but it's something like:"it would be A, if B"

jlabo cici rofipi cidizaca: if you hug me, then I'm very happy

cidizacal erofipi jlabocic: I would be very happy if you hug me

"rer" can either mean "rac" or "rof"

jlabo cici reripi cidizaca

It's not specified whether the listener hugs the speaker.

Affirmative or negative
"au" after the operator "k" ambiguates the sentence, rendering it affirmative or negative.

relabo cici klau: he/she hugs me, OR he/she doesn't hug me.

---

re: he/she/it (operand)

aboc: to hug (operator)

c: I (operand)

k: (connecting operator)

au: (affirmative or negative marker) (operand)

Can be translated in English approximately as "He/she doesn't necessarily hug me", but without the awkwardness. Useful when you don't want to admit something.

Yes/no
a: yes

au: yes OR no (when you don't want to answer)

u: no

Weather
Usually, saying "rejd" (rain) or "kavo" (snow) is enough to say "it rains" or "it snows". If you want to specify it's unambiguously a verb, then say "weather event" + "d" + "suba", for example:

rejdidi suba: it rains

But it's unnecessary. "rejd" is enough, even though it can be either a noun or a verb if alone. If you want to specify "rain" as a noun, use the noun suffix "un" after the operator "k".

rejd: rain/it rains

rejdidi suba: it rains

rejdi klun: rain (noun)

Reflexives
"caj" is the reflexive pronoun, and can be used interchangeably with normal pronouns.

clabo cic = clabo cicaj = I hug myself

Sexual orientations and fetishes
There are two words to describe your sexual preferences: "zoge" and "fnau". "zoge" means you want to have sex with someone, while "fnau" is a fetish. "Towards" is "r". They can be either operands or operators.

zogeirigog: homosexuality zogeiricta: heterosexuality zogeirizev: bisexuality zogeiriguedo: pedophilia zogeirikruko: necrophilia zogeiripn: polygamy fnauirigava: foot fetish cizogelgog: I'm gay cizogeicta: I'm straight cifnaulgava: I have a foot fetish aboti zeulpi zogeirigog: gay person

The first time
"The first time she hugged me, I was very happy". Let's see how to translate this.

"Time" (in the sense of "occurrence") is "raop". "One" is "ras". To turn a cardinal number into an ordinal number, use "rod". "First" is "rasikirod". "The first time" is "raopikipi rasikirod(iti)". "She hugged me" is "relkinal abocic". To connect these two sentences, we must use the operator "dac". "raopikipi rasikiroditi dacipi relkinal abocic(iti)" means "the first time she hugged me". "I was very happy" is "cidizaca". To connect these two sentences, we must use the operator "ez", which is the switch of "z". The complete sentence will be:

raopikipi rasikiroditi dacipi relkinal aboci citi ezipi cidizaca

Expressing your opinion about an event
Use the operand "b-ga" (bad-good) and refer to the whole sentence. For example:

jidi zbefi kibuega: you're fat (I don't like it) jidi zbefi kibuga: you're fat (I have a neutral opinion about it) jidi zbefi kibega: you're fat (I like it)

Politeness
After the operator "m", the following operands express different levels of politeness.

zueje: vulgar

zuaje: informal

zuje: humble

zoje: polite

zeje: honorific

True and false insults
jigei pcuci mispu: you are an excrement

It's not true that the listener is an excrement, but the speaker says it as an insult. Every word becomes an insult with "spu", even words that mean "computer" or "strawberry". "spu" can be disambiguated in "spub", which is an insult said when the speaker is angry at the listener, and "spuc", which is a playful insult not meant to be taken seriously. "snu" is an insult used when the sentence is literally true. "stu" is the ambiguation of "spu" and "snu".

"spu": metaphorical insult

"spub": metaphorical angry insult

"spuc": metaphorical playful insult

"snu": literal insult

"snub": literal angry insult

"snuc": literal playful insult

"stu": metaphorical or literal insult

"stub": angry, metaphorical or literal insult

"stuc": playful, metaphorical or literal insult

"sne": used when the speaker is stating a fact that can be considered offensive, but the speaker is neither angry nor annoyed, and doesn't mean it as an insult.

Sarcasm and metaphors
After the operator "m", "sra" is the operand that indicates that something is sarcastic, while "nta" indicates that it's a metaphor. Sarcasm and metaphors can be combined with each other.

cicebeikruko: I'm dying (literally, i.e. the speaker is dying) cicebeikrukoi minta: I'm dying (metaphorically, i.e. the speaker is uncomfortable) cicebeikrukoi mipintalkiau: I'm dying (metaphorically or literally)

---

c: I (operand)

cebe: to become, transition (into) (operator)

kruko: death (operand)

My book
"de" is the possessive, but it's ambiguous.

cidelonda: my book

Did I buy it? Did I write it? It's unspecified.

cidebionda: my book (I bought it, but someone else wrote it) cidekionda: my book (the one I wrote)

Note that this distinction isn't valid for every word. In doubt, use "de".

Ambiguate the value of a degree word
There is no direct translation of the word "temperature". Instead, we must use k-ta ("cold-hot"), put a "u" instead of the hyphen ("kuta"), and use the operand "van" after that. "kutalkivan" means "unspecified value of cold-hot", and means "temperature". Something like "cidipi vurikivaniti riji" can mean "I love you", "I hate you", or anything in between. "kutalkivani kibega" means "a pleasant temperature".

A place where they sell food
"rasu" is "food". "sera" is "to sell". "serairi rasu" is "to sell food". "vems" is a place for activities. "vemsi kipi serairi rasu" is "a place where they sell food".

Meat
"cvuv" is the animal meat for human consumption. "[animal]" + "de" + "cvuv" means "the meat of [that animal] as food". For example, "akro" is chicken, but doesn't usually refer to its meat as food (unless it's obvious by the context). To refer to its meat as food, say "akroldei cvuv".

Days of the week
zava: Sunday

buoz: Monday

mazn: Tuesday

vefn: Wednesday

done: Thursday

apro: Friday

avep: Saturday

Permissions and prohibitions
orab: compulsory

crao: encouraged

sodo: permitted

zvaz: discouraged

gnau: prohibited

---

sodoiri smoki kiba: is smoking [here] permitted? cicraoikbaz: I encourage criticism

Habitual aspect
"baz" is the habitual aspect, and it goes after the operator "k", as usual.

cinakirendi kibaz: I habitually eat apples cifba dianami kibaz: I habitually watch cartoons cifba dipi anami kidobiti kibaz: There's a cartoon I habitually watch cifba dipi anami kidobiti kipi bazi zipuef: There's a cartoon I used to watch

When the listener makes the speaker feel an emotion
After the sentence, after the operator "m", insert [emotion + "erag" + "j"]. Don't forget to use the parenthesis correctly. For example "I love you, you're making me feel very happy":

civariji mipi zacale ragij

Seasons of the year
vesna: spring

retom: summer

osen: autumn

zmau: winter

The difference between "smelling" and "having a smell"
In English, there is no lexical difference between smelling something and having a smell, or any other of the 5 senses either. In Lili, there is this difference: ("cfad" means "soft")

fbab vs faub

cifba bicfad: I feel a soft thing (i.e. I'm touching something soft) cifau bicfad: I feel soft (i.e. if you touch me, you'll feel soft)

---

fbac vs fauk

cifba cibega: I'm smelling a good thing

cifau kibega: I smell good (i.e. a good smell emanates from me)

---

fbad vs faud:

cifba dibega: I'm looking at something good

cifau dibega: I look good

---

Also: fbaf vs fauf (hearing) fbag vs faug (taste)

Topic marker
"top" is the topic marker. It broadly means "as opposed to something/someone else". For example:

cinakipi rendikisniti zipuaf: I just ate an apple cikitopi nakipi rendikisniti zipuaf: it was me who just ate an apple cinakipi rendikisniki topiti zipuaf: it was an apple the thing I just ate

My hand
There are two meanings of "my hand", though one is extremely unlikely

cidelvado: my hand (the one of my body) cidezivado: my hand (the hand of someone else that I consider to be my property)

"cidezivado" can be used, in an unlikely hypothetical case, if I cut off someone's hand and consider it to be mine.

Vocative
Name of the thing you're calling + "v" + sentence

abotikinalvipi cilabanij: I love you, girl.

In a certain style
"kub" means style. "pef" "means "future". "kubikipef" means "futuristic style".

About questions again
"bab" is an interrogative marker that means the question is affirmative for the speaker. "bac" means the question is negative for the speaker

jidizecal kibab: are you happy, too? (I am) jidizecal kibac: are you happy? (I'm not)

It's cold, according to whom?
"saz", "sez" and "soz" mean"to have an opinion (that)", but they're different. For example, consider the three following sentences:

axobiki robikiul eragi kueta: don't go outside, it's cold (ambiguous) axobiki robikiul eragipi cisazikueta: don't go outside, it's cold (see below) axobiki robikiul eragipi cisezikueta: don't go outside, it's cold (see below)

The second sentence is strange, because why would a speaker discourage someone else from going outside based on his/her own perception of cold? It's clear that the speaker is projecting his/her own perception of cold onto another person, that's why the word "sez" needs to be used. "saz" means you don't care about people agreeing with you, while "sez" means you want people to agree with you. In the case of "don't go outside, it's cold", the speaker is not merely stating his/her own opinion about the temperature, he/she wants the listener to agree as well. "soz" can either mean "saz" or "sez".

Difficult and easy
"Difficult" and "easy" have two meanings each. "z-de" means "difficult-easy" in the sense that something is difficult or easy to do, while "s-zu" means "difficult-easy" in the sense that something is unlikely or likely to happen. For example:

aboti reulpi xekalki zede: a person who gets angry easily (see below) aboti reulpi xekalki sezu: a person who gets angry easily (see below)

The first sentence means that the person described finds getting angry to be an easy achievement.

The second sentence means that the person described often gets angry for little to no reason.

Usually, in English, "a person who gets angry easily" is meant as in the second sentence, and the meaning of the first sentence would be considered a unusual interpretation.

To be used at the following conditions
"uzdu" is an operator that means "to be used at the following conditions". For example, "avub" means "vehicle", and "avubluzdulpi samirigeog" means "terrestrial vehicle" (e.g. a car, bus, truck, bike, train etc.).

"avub" = "vehicle"

"uzdu" = "to be used at the following conditions"

"p" = (open parenthesis)

"sam = "on"

"r" = (operator)

"geog" = "land"

Substitute "geog" (land) with "capen" (body of water), and you'll get "avubluzdulpi samiricapen", which can mean any vehicle that travels on water (boats, ships, etc.). Substitute "sam" (on) with "s" (in) and you'll get "avubluzdulpi siricapen", which means "submarine".
