Talk:Middle Pelhaforan

"Verbs in Pelhaforan are not conjugated for person, tense, or voice...Standalone verbs often serve as complete sentences, as Pelhaforan is pro-drop."

How is this possible? A standalone verb would convey almost no information right? If bah where a verb and meant to run it could mean I run, you run, he ran, we will run, etc.

Yeah, what Kauf said. I'll change the wording to make this more clear. Sunazhum (talk) 23:30, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Well, look at Japanese. The information would be contextual. 大丈夫 (daijoubu) can mean: I'm good, He's good, Everything's ok, He's healthy, We're safe, Are you ok!?!, etc based purely on the context. Though, then words would have to have much more connotational meaning to them o3o unlike French or English where we have a clear grammar and very specific words for almost anything.

Almost all Japanese questions end in either ne or ka. Citing daijōbu as an example isn't really good as it's not even a verb it's actually "okay", "alright" (nominal adjective or adverb, make your pick); you can use "okay" in English in a lotta contexts without resorting to pseudoscientific "clear grammars" or "specific words", but "are you okay" is most specifically "大丈夫ですか" (daijōbu desu ka). So yeah, looking at Japanese. Its grammar is fairly damn clear, mind you, but is based on a topic-comment system. 08:59, August 31, 2015 (UTC) ~) The Elector, Darkness Immaculate
