Do you speak English?

Bedal a écrit:

Ice-Kagen too, I think.

I really love Japanese, but since I've only studied it for a year, I'm still a beginner and I'm not very comfortable with the language. I can't make beautiful sentences and understand everything you say on the thread. But some day, when my Japanese improves, I'm going to join that thread. It's only a matter of time.

I think I am still a beginner... so I think you are welcome in this thread. (Chaest is running ahead though)

wow ! wonderful !

And yes, i would like you to correct me if necessary !

Do you have seen it ? What are you thinking about ?

I have not read any thread about conlangs for months, to be honest. I'm deeply focused on my own conlang at the moment !
I'm going to read it and then i'll answer you

Sorry Bedal, but I think just you and Chaest are the japanese speakers of this forum. ^^

No, there is a lot of japanese speakers here on this forum. Some of them have just study this langage but are not fluent.

I'll never be on the japanese thread 'cause this is not a language I want to learn. ( at least right now ! )

No need to be sorry for that !

Sorry, I had a glance at the thread and there are many things I cannot understand

Citation :

I hope you don't mind if I correct you, but we should say "there are" a lot

No way. My English is the lamest.

It is a point in English grammar that I never understood. Should the verb "to be" be conjugated with "a lot" or with "speakers"?

It should be plural, unless the noun is uncountable. Still people usually tend to use both is and are in colloquial language, regardless of number.

There is a lot of sugar. / There are a lot of people. (There's a lot of people, is acceptable too in everyday language.)

phew ! I'm reassured !

The rule is, the verb agrees with the name following "a lot of", according to Bescherelle's grammar-book.

And I wanted to know whether/if my style is correct and not too ugly...

I did it : http://easyconlangs.forumactif.com/
But as expected, I'm alone there.

Est-ce que vous connaissez un forum qui soit accueillant pour les débutants, et qui possède des sections dans de nombreuses langues construites et langues naturelles pour s'entraîner ?
Deepl: Do you know of a forum that is welcoming for beginners, and has sections in many built languages and natural languages to practice?
GoogleT: Do you know of a forum that is welcoming for beginners, and has sections in many built languages and natural languages for training?
Reverso: Do you know a forum which is welcoming for the beginners, and which possesses sections in numerous constructed languages(tongues) and natural languages(tongues) to train?

I should have precize-it: i'm looking for an english-based forum, because it's more universal. Esperanto-based forum could do the job too.

Perhap's you could have Toki pona, too, isn't it ?

Ah oui tiens.
Il faut que j'ajoute le Toki Pona.
Et le Pandunia, l'Atlas, l'Elko... et beaucoup d'autres. Y'a de la place :-)

Only auxlangs and conlangs from the most known shows, books and films have a future.

All the others don't, that's why mine died. I understand better Silvano after all, it is a useless waste of time since nobody will care about one's projects.

Elko and Pandunia, you have it in your list.

@Elara : don't forget the pleasure of the creation, please.

That pleasure vanished from me. It faded away. And so will I.

I just suscribed to this forum. I wait the activation of my account by an admin.

So you can sing and dance till the end of the night, there was a sing on the radio about the same theme "faded".
Languages are the scolours of the world and they colour our lifes.

You're a poet, Velonzio.

I'm a color blind but I see through rose-coloured glasses, and nothing seems grey to me !

Enough with this false euphoria.

The only problem is that i don't know how to do that :-(

Citation :

Actually, the plural of "life" is "lives" . But what you said is so beautiful and I totally agree

I know it can be quite frustrating to know that your language is not likely to have a great future. Sometimes, I feel exactly the same, but although your language is probably not going to be known worldwide, there are many people who find it interesting, at least on this forum. I'll miss your language and I'm sure I'm not the only one to think like this...

If I continue...
You choose with conlangs your own colours, it's the choice of freedom.
You choose to fabricate your own tool.
To my point of view, this choice shows freedom and cleverness. As in the mostly asian thinkings way, the most important is not the aim, but the still done way. Take your time, stop a moment and looks like to the still done way behind you.
