Em laver-mu - I wash myself

A matinu estum laver-mu, mu korpu, mu kapu i mu kapelu kon shampu i gelu d'laveru

In the morning I wash myself, my body, my head and my hair with shampoo and shower gel

Am Morgen wasche ich mich, meinen Koerper, meinen Kopf und mein Haar mit Shampoo and Duschgel

Por la mañana me lavo el cuerpo, la cabeza y el cabello con champú y gel

Simplicity within Eulingu

Simplicity is one of the main ingredients of Eulingu to avoid confusion and misspelling. In this example "a message" is reflected as "un mesaju" losing its second "s" and turning its "g" into "j" representing the sound [zh] or [dzh] => [un me'sa'zhu]

Not to be confused with "masaju" [ma'sa'zhu] which we definitely need after all the hard work :-)

What a baggage :-)

This is my personal understanding of "identification" and a way to bring etymology, sound and spelling together. I have chosen the word "baggage" which in "Skriblingu" (or "Skribilingu" - the written language) is reflected as "bagagu" and in "Parlingu" (or "Parlilingu" - the spoken language) as "bagaju" - focusing on the sound [ba'ga'zhu]. For the time being I guess both variations are acceptable and we will see which one will prevail in the future.

While checking in at Hamburg airport on Wednesday I thought about another alternative: "bagu" and "bagi" :-)

Flexibility within Eulingu

Eulingu has three guidelines:

1. Simplicity

2. Indentification

3. Flexibility

This image gives us an idea how to reflect the 3. guideline in Eulingu. We have a strong grammar which allows the use of some minor alterations (e.g. "em" instead of "estum") and an inventory which reflects the diversity of European languages (which of course is subject to Eulingu's grammar, e.g. "un tagu" i/o "un jur" for "a day").

Tri parti d'Eulingu - The three parts of Eulingu

In a way Eulingu can be split into 3 parts:

Skolilingu: Strictly ruled by our brain (School language)

Tagilingu: Ruled by our "gut feeling" adding herbs & spices to our language meal (Day2Day Language)

Slangu: Wherever our feet carry us (Slang)

Un eksemplu:

Skolilingu: Estum bever un tasu d'kafu i manger un panu kon buru - I drink a cup of coffee and eat a bread with butter.

Tagilingu: Em bever un tas d'kafu i manger un pan kon bur.

Slangu: M bev tas kaf i mang burpan.

"Y" to "I"

Going forward we have changed "y" (and) to "i", "o" (or) remains the same, so:

-If you wanted to combine two words or sentences in Eulingu with the word "and", you can do so by using "i" [i:]: Marta i Marko bever kafu i (esti) leser un magazinu - Marta and Marco drink coffee and (they) read a magazine

-If you leave the option of "and/or" you simply use "i/o": Estut skriber un letru i/o un kartu? - Do you write a letter and/or a (post) card? Estut telefoner kon Marta i/o skriber un letru? - Do you phone Marta and/or (do you) write a letter?

-If you needed a clear answer go for "o": Estut guster kafu o biru? - Do you like coffee or beer?

Let us know what you think! :-)
