[comments] Hello and welcome to pimsleurs guide to zygiligleth in this lesson we will go a little bit deeper into everyday life and how to conjugate

note: when conjugating it's always good to remember what ending you used!

lesson three everyday and conjugation


when conjugating a word like for kitten (kœnta) it's always good to leave the word out towards the end of the sentence as it would be obvious that you would be talking about the kitten

here is how you conjugate

this sentence is following the svo sentence pattern
leave off the a and put an o
wa kœnta-->o nane wa vatone

this o helps with describing what is being talked about in the sentence as zygiligleth is a contextual heavy language
here is the sentence fully conjugated

wa kœnto nane wa vanton
the kitten eats the food
as you can see the word for food also changed as well as it was the conjugation helper to help figure out what was being said

the word for ocelot (kœto) can also be used in this way as well as shown here
this sentence is also following the svo sentence pattern
drop the o and put an a
kœto-->a watane aton kota vasœta loto koten
ocelots are a cool type of cat
ocelots are a cool type of cat
as you can see it doesn't always follow the same use as before because a is identifying the species of cat

everyday use
using zygiligleth in everyday use is not that hard but there are some things to know

when you're talking to family you wouldn't use casual speech you would use familiar speech words that are meant to be used around family,you can use familiar speech with friends but casual would be more, acceptable in that situation here are some example sentences that follow the familiar speech pattern which is svo
drop the e and put an œ
kane-->œ so konetœ mata kara detane
mother i didn't like dinner
as you can see œ signifies that you liked something or not it also it helps the word did become pass tense because œ changes the sentence into a participle and makes did (konetœ) a formative word making it +PST

drop the one and add æ
sanotone-->æ so sæto wa lano
father i'm at the store
as you can see æ is identifying what location you are at

now let's say that you would want to order some food here are some examples to show how to order food

there are two ways of saying hello (halaka) or (ve ve) and when you are ordering food whether it be on the phone or not
you use (ve ve) when ordering food so here are some example sentences showing that in action
they are following the svo sentence pattern

ve ve vatane barotœ so fasena dasu
hello how may i help you

here is how you would reply to that
(hi) is pronounced (he) just like (si) in spanish
eto.... hi so dase kara(item)anton vatane deta dase ran zano
uhm yes i would like (your item) and how much is it
let's say that you ordered your item and you would like the price on that item

because of the ɽ̰sound the ra combined makes the (ra) sound in japanese
ran dase zano vatena ($2.99)

note in casual speech you always never conjugate

in the next lesson we will go over numbers and how they work

test time

@[Deactivated User] and @[Deactivated User] it is accusative

@[Deactivated User] for the second one the correct answer is kœta so I'm assuming it's accusative? I'm not completely sure to be honest.

You didn't say what conjugation you needed to type in.
