Kara James, concerning gender markers I like your idea of using "man" and "fem". But I'd suggest that they not only serve as markers but actually mean "man" and "woman". Although your idea of "fem om" is interesting, and sort of like "ishah" in Hebrew, or "woman" (wif-man) in Eng. The word "Om" isn't to me "human" but rather "man", I'd then suggest that you use something like "uman" for "human" or person... thus fem uman man uman w/regards, Jay B. --- In eurocreole@y..., "James Chandler" <idojc@h...> wrote: > I have already made use of the sex markers 'man' and 'fem'.

For the general negative particle 'non' is definitely the best form, being just the right weight. J has shown in his studies of negation in Eng and other languages that an nV form is too light and tends to be supplemented by a postnominal element (eg. Fr. 'pas', orig. 'step'). Despite Fr., I would like a shorter form for the negative response, where perhaps 'non' is a little too heavy. But perhaps we should use 'non' even here. The only disadvantage is that responses like: Non, mi non ja pa vida le sound a bit repetitive. This indicates that a variant form 'no' would be useful (I dont think we need be so spartan as to exclude a limited number of variants, eg. 'on' as pronoun form of 'om').

Although your idea >of "fem om" is interesting, and >sort of like "ishah" in Hebrew, >or "woman" (wif-man) in Eng. I like the idea of having short forms for 'man' and 'woman', but when I think about I dont see why 'fem' should mean 'female human' any more than 'female pig' or 'female deer'. I cant justify it logically. So it looks like 'fem om' and 'man om' are the best we can do. >The word "Om" isn't to me >"human" but rather "man", >I'd then suggest that you use >something like "uman" for >"human" or person... thus >fem uman >man uman No, 'om' is definitely the right form for 'human being', equivalent to Mand. 'ren' or Glosa 'pe'. Fr. 'homme' is not just masculine, eg. Musee de l'homme. In any case, we need 'uman' for the adj 'humane' > 'uman so' 'humanity' (not 'mankind', for which we need 'om' + an equivalent of the Ido suffix -aro).

Kjell: > > Kwa tem lingua fi korupta, om perda fida so a ki le eskuta kel e to >dukta a > > violente so. > >Un coraji proba! Danka so, Kjell. But let me first repeat the corrected version: Tem lingua fi korupta, om perda fida so a to ki le eskuta kel e to dukta a violente so. >Proquo no _e to dukta a violentum._ (?) >Le violence es per consequent un abstractum. I prefer to start from an adj (in Eurocreole stative verb) 'violente', and derive the sb with the regular nominalizing particle 'so' (which is at the same time the equivalent of Ido -eso, -ago and -o). Let me explain a little about the structure of Eurocreole. First, notice that in vocab terms it is clearly derived from Ido and Novial, but in some ways leans towards the ultra-modernism of Occ ('eskuta' Fr. ecouter, Sp. escuchar). Second, the default vowel endings are -a for verbs and -e for nouns and adjs. It is useful in general to have these endings to facilitate recall of the forms. However, verbs dont have to end in -a, and adjs and nouns dont have to end in -e if the international forms do not ('lingua'), and forms that end in a simple nasal to not need a vowel ending, which is provided mainly for ease of pronunciation. Eurocreole has a range of particles, of which 'tem' (time) is one. Question words are bimorphemic, as in creoles: kwa tem = what time = when kwa lo = what place = where etc. The passive particle is 'fi' from Late Novial. Plural marking is optional (pluralizer: 'ban', postposed). Adjs are stative verbs, which means that the same nominalizing particle 'so' is used with both (fida so, violente so). Relatives are formed using the open-bracket 'ki', which signals the start of the relative clause (programmers might liken it to a 'subroutine' statement), and the invariable relative particle 'kel'. Order in relatives is the normal sentence order, with 'kel' appearing where the relativized phrase normally would: le eskuta to to ki [le eskuta kel] 'ki' may also be used as a close-bracket ('End Sub statement'), but will rarely be needed. This bracketing method is used in Mod. Persian ('ke') and some creoles such as Hawaiian CE ('ia').

Jay: >maybe "fida" is better as >"fide" as in Interlingua, since >that's the Latin root and it >also happens to end in "e". In general I dont want to have to follow the ins and outs of the romanic infinitives -er, -ar, -ir etc. Sometimes there will be a vowel ending which lends internationality to the word, eg. lingua - even Eng speakers have Linguaphone, lingua franca, interlingua veni - many Eng speakers know the Latin phrase 'veni vidi vici' The only Eng word which seems directly related to fid- is 'fiduciary', which I didnt even know until just now. So I dont think there is really any great internationality to the -e ending on this verb. Lets continue this thread on eurocreole.

Subject: Two more suffixes

Two suffixes which are very handy in Ido are the diminutive -et and augmentative -eg. For -et we can use a preposed particle 'ti'. This form is found in Fr. creoles eg. Morisyen (< Fr. 'petit'). It can be thought of as a short form of 'mikro': ti bele - pretty (or 'joli') ti pluva - spit with rain, drizzle ti rivere - stream For -eg we will need to construct something more or less artificially. Ideally this will be a simple CV monosyllable. For the consonant, 'g' suggests itself as the first letter of 'grande'. The close vowel 'i' is psychologically linked to smallness, so to contrast with this we need an open vowel, for which 'a' seems the obvious choice. We thus arrive at 'ga', which can be thought of as a short form of 'grande': ga pluva so - downpour ga kasa - mansion Kordiale, James Chandler http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eurocreole/post?postID=iFgeUfAshkJuLBiE347M-bJZoG8XokyGXiix0qasSkk4HL3qg-bsKub1tXdzRlIF0p3aUa74B3s http://www.geocities.com/idojc - IALs index http://www.geocities.com/idojc/yindex.html - Ido index http://groups.yahoo.com/group/idolisto - Idolisto home "Mi veni de lande ki kel non ja eksista." - J.

Another pair of extremely useful suffixes in Ido is: -inda - worth doing -enda - must be done For the latter we can simply combine two particles: mus fi konsidera kos - things that must be considered For the former, we might as well just use the verb 'merita': merita fi eskuta musike - music worth listening to Kordiale, James Chandler http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eurocreole/post?postID=1ZJRPCi_z1qGlK-baIGPkuP7IZlp5q19jTjcGOzQsbmAdwOrjiZABjRm92iq7NHodPiJ7M0rRJk9mgs http://www.geocities.com/idojc - IALs index http://www.geocities.com/idojc/yindex.html - Ido index http://groups.yahoo.com/group/idolisto - Idolisto home "Mi veni de lande ki kel non ja eksista." - J.

Subject: Var/Yok/Cok

endipatterson

Two very useful words in Turkish are "Var" and "Yok". These words don't really translate well into English, but a near approximation would be "(There/It) exists" and "(There/It) does not exist" These words can be used in two ways: 1. In questions 2. In answers 1. If I went into a shop and wanted to know if they had coffee, I could ask, "Kava var mu?" Literally: "Coffee exists [+quesion marker]?" If I could see everything and could not see any coffee, I could ask, "Kava yok mu?" Literally: "Coffee doesn't exist [+question marker]? 2. In either case, the shopkeeper could answer "Var" Literally: It exists or "Yok" Literally: It does not exist. These words then take on a function in answers similar to "Yes" and "No". They do not replace "Yes" and "No" they are a useful subtelty. The Turkish for "Yes" and "No" are "Evet" and "Hayir" In English of course we can answer a question with "Maybe" as far as I know there is no analagous word meaning "Existance is uncertain" but I think such a word together with "Var" and "Yok" would be useful in a Eurocreole. "Cok" (actually in Turkish there is a cidilla under the "C" and it is pronounced /chock/ as in "Chocks away!") is another useful word which is used to refer to anything vaguely big so is ideal for an isolating language. It can be variously translated in English as "big","very","too", etc. It is the reason why Turks often say, "This is very problem". I think it is useful to differentiate "too" implying excess which Turkish does not, however. Andrew Patterson

Andy, Thanks for your message - the first one on this list for a quite a while! The background to the messages you quote below is the following: The initial plan was to allow simple genitives formed by preposing the pronoun to the sb, eg. mi auto - my car as found in many creoles. This would be an alternative to the regular method with 'de': li auto de mi BUT notice that the def. art. is implicit in the first form. So it would be inconsistent to allow this method and have no def. art. This is a parameter to be set in the design of the language. Due to problems with the simple genitive method, we eventually decided to do without articles, as does Chinese, for example. That means we have just: auto de mi and no fine distinction between this and: li auto de mi I think this results in a real simplification and nothing is really lost by not having articles.

If I understand you right, I think the issue here is that "Mi" in "Mi auto" is a possessive pronoun, but it can also be classified as a determiner. Determiners are words which make reference to the noun more specific. The articles are also determiners, and I don't think reference to the noun is made any more specific by the inclusion of the definite article here. In English "my" and the other possessive adjectives can be used in this way anyway. Colloqually of course it is common in British English to talk about "Me car" meaning "My car" and in Carribean English it is pretty well standard. You still need to distinguish between "my car" and "a car of mine" of course. By the way, have you thought about incorporating any of my ideas about Definite v Indefinite from the Auxlang list?
