Some fun interrogatives and the like [Negric]
HEY I know it's been a few days since I posted anything, but life got ahead of me and I totally forgot and/or didn't feel like posting things.
So today for you I have how to make some thrilling interrogative sentences.
A basic question in Negric would be formed by switching the verb and the object in a sentence, and adding the interrogative, if necessary. The declarative SVO becomes an interrogative SOV. For example...
Wo ac máro so Dante - My name is Dante.
Ne ac máro Dante so? - Is your name Dante?
The particle "ac" denotes ownership of the following word to the previous word (quite similarly to the Japanese particle の). Wo ac máro signifies that wo (me) owns the máro (name). It can be literally translated as the genitive 's. Dante ac soréc means "Dante's apple".
Here, by the way, are the personal pronouns in Negric:
mor, mic, mak (gender neutral, she, and him)
To make any of these plural, simply add -ba to the end. -ba is a plural marker that attaches to the end of words. In Negric, there is no real plural form of a noun, unless you need to be very specific, in which case, -ba is added to the noun in question.
NOW... On to the interrogatives!
ettáris - how many / how much
And some example sentences with breakdowns:
Xathá si ne angé? - From where do you come? (where from you come)
(si means "from" and goes after the interrogative when asking a "from where" question. Likewise, any other question involving "where" and a preposition such as "to where" "in where" "at where", etc, require the speaker to flip them around, and thus, xathá si)
Xi ne so? - Who are you? (lit. who you are)
Xa ne ac máro so? - What is your name? (what you's name is)
Xathá ne ac maróthas so? - Where is your home? (where you's home is)
Éthe ne angé? - Why do you come? (why you come)
Xa ne kierá? - What do you want? (what you want)
Éthe ne anis so? - Why are you here? (why you here is)
Xa era indáro ac máro so? - What is the name of this village? (what this village's name is)
Nerh seknáret ne athít? - Do you have any business? (any business you have)
Élan ikárte so? - What is the time? (when hour is) (When is the hour?)
