Letter Conjugation
1 min read · 242 words
Let's take two verbs from the dictionary. Ols and Oses. In english, you can say the same sentence but in three tenses:
I drink water. (Present Tense)
I drank water. (Past Tense)
I havn't drank the water yet. (Perfect Present Tense)
But, in rouvlarian we do things a bit differently, Example:
Mi oses le wasera. (I drink the water)
Mi oseis le wasero. (I drank the water)
Mi osais le wasere. (I havn't drank the water)
These three sentences have different meanings and different prefixes added to the verb while the Verb Conjugation in the Object has changed. Notice how the last letter (Conjugation Letter) had changed depending on the verb? Imagine the verb as a mother and the following object is the child, the child will always listen and follow the mothers rule just like this verb.
Another example:
Mi ols le melpela. (I eat the apple)
Mi olis le melpelo. (I ate the apple)
Mi olais le melpele. (I havn't ate the apple)
A normal word like Waser for water will always have a Letter Conjugation in the end while it still means "Water". Waser, wasera, wasero and wasere all mean the same thing, water. Just in different forms of Letter Conjugation.
Different Example:
Ere voi kaminar a parka? (Are you running at the park?)
Ere voi kaminair a parko? (You had already ran at the park?)
Ere voi kaminoir a parke? (You had not ran at the park yet?)
