I had an idea, take it if you like it, if not whatever. but mabie we should have a thread were people could come with problems they(the users) have with the language. for instance if there haveing trouble translating something, if there haveing trouble understanding certan rules of the language, they could come here insted of haveing to post a new topic all the time.. just a thought..

I'm haveing trouble with this little thing.. if I wanted to say "back when the world was young" would it be this?
"Tsl fr l rr dts rdm."
I can't find a word for was, so I used the past tence.. anyone?
:blink:

p.s if you need help, ask me I'll give it a shot.

rr t = was (past 'is')

Also, remember that dd, rr, mm, ff, etc. are used in different ways.. not just for past, present, future. When used with verbs (and some nouns), they denote tense or time.
-----
lrm = fall (verb)
rr lrm = fell
-----
dms = day (noun)
fst = month (noun)
tsf = year (noun)

rr dms = yesterday
mm dms = tomorrow
rr fst = last month
mm tsf = next year
-----

But when it comes before an adjective, it denotes a degree of the adjective.

dlm = fast (adjective)


tt dlm = fastest
ll dlm = more faster
ss dlm = faster
ff dlm = speed*
mm dlm = less fast (slower)
rr dlm = lesser fast (more slower)
dd dlm = least fast (slowest)**


*ff is the middle of the scale and is used for the name (noun) of the scale. e.g:
ff dlm = speed (fastness)
ff mfr = size (largeness)
ff slf = distance
ff frs = brightness
ff rlm = strength

** note that (least fast) is the same as saying (slowest). So it doesn't matter whether you use dd dlm or tt mld
