Simple 10/10 (hoping the grammar is not a nightmare)

5/10

This is supposed to be an IAL, so grammar should be as simple as possible.

You have:

• English verb structure (auxiliary verbs, as well as continuous aspect)

• Definite article

• Copula

@JiaGbon1234 Uhm, are those features unnecessary? (By the way every sentence has a SVO order so “Can I have a toy?” could be “I can have toy?” or smth.) If I didnt have those then the language would look… REALLY weird.

@CyanSurfer

By english verb structure I mean the continuous aspect. You're telling me that "I eat" is "Gi nom" but "I am eating" is "Gi da nom"? A lot of languages don't distinguish between these two.

Guess what language doesn't have articles? Mandarin Chinese. Also, basically all the slavic languages besides a few exceptions.

If you want it to be easy for everyone to learn, you really shouldn't have articles. I mean, what even is the point of articles anyway? If instead of saying "I see a man in the café", I say "I see man in café" you can still understand me right?

@JiaGbon1234

I agree, the grammar is a bit too Anglocentric

Also... what even.. is the point of a copula... like why is there a copula in an IAL?
