Languary Day Tomorrow: A start on conjugation

[aldersprig]

Okay!

Now I have to Drop the Drop!

Which means I had to figure out that "present continuous" tense existed.

I have nuba, which is the root for drop.

Without figuring out all of the conjugations at the moment, -othe is the ending for:

Continuous present tense, third person singular.

But the whispers are plural!

Okay, then -othed.

the -a on nuba goes away, and you get Nubothed \ˈnəb ō ˌthed\

We're going VOS so:

nubothed ssussusser

Whispers Drop

Edit: I said VOS, I thought VOS, and then I wrote it SV. Sign. Fixed.

"present continuous" is like "dropping", isn't it? ...what's the difference between present continuous and present progressive..... *goes to look it up*

[inventrix]

Yay, phew, surface research indicates I was right. <.< They're both "the thing is dropping".

[aldersprig]

I didn't know about either of them so that's something else they have in common!

[inventrix]

*coughlaugh* I'd never heard "present continuous" but that's because I learned about the tense in Spanish classes.

...You know, I think I have gained ALL of my grammar knowledge from studying a secondary language.

That's where I got most of mine. The parts I didn't get from you, Clare, Becka, & Thnidu.

I definitely gained a big chunk of my grammar knowledge from studying a secondary language. But I also took a linguistics class in college :D

I took Latin, which is almost like a linguistics class. xD
