Adjective And Adverbs?

I was trying to write something to the effect of "I am tired."

There was no tired, so I found sleep, easy, but there is no "sleepy". Is there a way to convert a word into an adjective or adverb, or do we just need to wait for new words?

(Off-topic: This is such a great idea. This is my first time visiting your site, and won't be the last. I've been watch Bitey since he came to Newgrounds, and was literally excited when I saw little foot pop up.....I think I scared my friend. If you need any help, don't hesitate to send me a message.)

EDITL: It looks like I may have found what I needed.

If I wanted to say "I am sleepy", would I say "dr m tt mrt"?

I didn't notice the different grammar "words" my first time through the dictionary.

That's what i would have told you to write. The tt makes words go from verbs/nouns to adjectives. TT+Break = Broken, TT+ Fix = Fixed. So I believe you found your answer. Good job. :bitey:

no, tt + sleep would be "asleep".

remember that tt is the 'done' indicator.


tt sml = broken (the breaking is done)
tt fdt = eaten (the eating is done)
tt mrt = asleep (the sleeping is done)
tt tsr = dead (the dying is done)
tt rrm = done (the doing is done)

to answer your question, "sleepy" is simply expressed with the base word mrt, just as:

sdr = noise, noisy
frf = wind, windy
tss = blood, bloody
dsm = ease, easy

Being a limited language, most of what we say depends on context, so don't worry, dr m mrt isn't going to be interpreted as "I am sleep"... anyone who knows Sarus will know that you mean "I am sleepy".

Just like if you say "smd m frf", Sarus speakers don't think you're saying "night is wind". They know you mean "It's windy tonight".
