GRAMATIKU - I TIDI...QVOM?

Skolu d'Eulingu. It looks like that creating "times" (tenses) in Eulingu is one of the most difficult and time consuming tasks we have been confronted with. In order to keep it simple, recognizable and rememberable we came up with the following solution as a first draft.

We distinguish between past tense (pastu), present tense (presentu) and the future (futuru). 3 different tenses seem efficient enough to reflect reality and "everyday life", everything else should be considered "poetry" or "science" :-)

The "past tense" covers everything until the "present" which itself describes what is happening "now", while the "future tense" gives us an idea of something which "will" or "is going to" happen.

PRESENTU KON "EST" [e:st]

Estum - I am

Estut - You are (sgl.)

Esto - He is

Esta - She is

Estu - It/the/this is

Estumi - We are (=many "Is" are...)

Estuti - You are (pl., =many "YOUs" are...)

Esti - They/these are

Uni eksempli

Rikardo est presentir su pasportu at aerportu - Richard presents/is presenting his passport at the airport

Rikardo esto uno artisto - Richard is an (male) artist

Esta ordir un kafu kon latu - She orders/is ordering a coffee with milk

Estu un muchus belus manjaru - This is a very lovely meal

Estuti organizir un konferenzu in Paris - You organize/are organizing a conference in Paris

Esti salati grekis - These are Greek salads

PASTU KON "ET" [ae't]

Etum - I was

Etut - You were (sgl.)

Eto - He was

Etu - It/the/this was

Etumi - We were (=many "Is" are...)

Etuti - You were (pl., =many "YOUs" are...)

Eti - They/these were

Uni eksempli

Rikardo et presentir su pasportu at aerportu - Richard presented/was presenting his passport at the airport

Rikardo eto uno artisto - Richard was an artist

Eta ordir un kafu kon latu - She did order a coffee with milk

Etu un muchus belus manjaru - This was a very lovely meal

Etuti organizir un konferenzu in Paris - You did organize a conference in Paris

Eti salati grekis - These were Greek salads

FUTURU KON "VOL" [vo'l]

Volum - I will

Volut - You will (sgl.)

Volo - He will

Vola - She will

Volu - It/the/this will

Volumi - We will (...do not confuse with "voluminu" = volume)

Voluti - You will (pl.)

Voli - They/these will

Uni eksempli

Rikardo vol presentir su pasportu at aerportu - Richard will present his passport at the airport

Vola ordir un kafu kon latu - She will order a coffee with milk

Voluti organizir un konferenzu in Paris - You will organize a conference in Paris

Atenzonu

The "futuru" needs to be discussed further in one of the next posts...as there is possibly a conflict in the way we understand "to will" and "to want", i.e. "Rikardo volo uno artisto" does not really mean "Richard wants to be an artist"!

Possible solution:

Rikardo vol estir uno artisto - Richard will be/wants to be an artist

26 Septembru 2010 - Jur Europus d'Lingi

The European Day of Languages is 26 September, as proclaimed by the Council of Europe on 6 December 2001, at the end of the European Year of Languages (2001), which had been jointly organised by the Council of Europe and the European Union. Its aim is to encourage language learning across Europe.

The general objectives of the European Day of Languages are to:

-alert the public to the importance of language learning and diversify the range of languages learned in order to increase plurilingualism and intercultural understanding;

-promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe;

-encourage lifelong language learning in and out of school.

In keeping with these aims, people, young and old, are encouraged to take up a language, or take special pride in their existing language skills. Also, those responsible for providing access to language learning are encouraged to make it easier for people to learn a range of languages, and to support policy initiatives to promote languages. There is also emphasis on learning a language other than English.
