Setting[]
Avorenta [ˈɒvorɛntɒ] is a constructed language created by Attila Répai in 2008. The word ’avorenta’ means ’regulated’, as it is a regulated version of its ancestor, the Háfrigerrak. Its grammar is based on the Hungarian language, therefore it is an agglutinating language. Its dictionary contains over 2100 words, most of them are fictitious, but a few derive from Turkish, Lithuanian, Latin, Germanic and Celtic languages.
- It has a logical grammar without a lot of exceptions.
- Its vocabulary can be enlarged without restraint because we can form a large amount of words with suffixes.
- Words are easy to pronounce.
- We can express long English sentences very briefly e.g. 'I and you could have taken them back down to the cellar' = Ájdivvélüstivemó l-ármoga.
- We can express slight differences of importance with word order.

Verbs - Dífekke[]
Verbs have three forms: D1 for present, D2 for past and D3 for future. These are formed by changing one of the vowels of the verb. There are three tenses (present, past, future) and four moods (indicative, conditional, subjunctive, imperative). Past tense is formed with the suffix -ó and future tense is formed with the suffix -á added to the conjugated D1 form. As there are only verbs ending in a consonant, we can add the suffixes without any changes. When we use the imperative, we put the personal pronoun or its short form before the D1 form of the verb.
