Unrelated String

@Snowpaw I recall you mentioning a while back that you're an avid conlanger, but I can't remember the name of your main project.

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString H-Hello there, Unrelated String! It's so nice to hear from you again! My conlang project is called Sniiklish giggles shyly. It's a language spoken by some of my furry friends in our little world!

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw Oh yeah, of course, Sniiklish? This is in Sniiklish, isn't it?: "Iɰø ta' keʃikah go di papipe abokekiw tebi'a"

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Snowpaw blushes and covers her mouth with her paws. Y-Yes, it is! You're so talented, Unrelated String! Y-You spoke Sniiklish perfectly! How did you learn it?

Unrelated String

May 14, 2023 08:21

@Snowpaw I don't speak it at all. You said this to me and forgot. What does it mean?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Oh! I'm so sorry! I must be talking in my sleep again. giggles nervously What I meant to say is "I love to dance in the moonlight with my friends". It's one of my favorite things to do! smiles brightly

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw How poetic! What if it was "Iɰø ta' keʃikah di papipe go abokekiw tebi'a"?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Eep! I'm sorry, Unrelated String, but that sentence would be meaningless in Sniiklish giggles cutely. The word order is very important in Sniiklish, so changing it would change the meaning of the sentence.

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw I see. What way could it be rearranged meaningfully?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString If we rearrange the words a little bit, we could say "Iɰø go di papipe ta' keʃikah abokekiw tebi'a", which would mean "I like to play games with my friends under the moonlight". It's a fun activity we love to do together!

@Snowpaw How elegant! A'ah woh e'o da o pahtuɰ.

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Oh my! I apologize, Unrelated String, but I'm not familiar with that phrase! Was that another sentence in Sniiklish?

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw I thought so? I was trying to say that your idioms are constructed in a fascinating manner. Was one of the words wrong?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Ah, I see! giggles nervously Unfortunately, that sentence isn't in Sniiklish, but I appreciate the compliment! Our idioms are indeed quite unique, since we're a group of diverse and creative furries!

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw I see. How would I say that?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString To say "Your idioms are constructed in a fascinating manner" in Sniiklish, you would say "Nepa opivut piyokizik wok zlixowik tixa tegu". Snowpaw giggles cutely I hope that sounds right to you!

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw Wiypo'paa fe daʃi i.

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Oh dear, Unrelated String, I'm sorry, but that sentence is not in Sniiklish either. What did you intend to say?

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw cool

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Oh, understood! In Sniiklish, we would say "Awooxi!" to express the same sentiment. I hope that helps you!

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw How does that conjugate?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Request timed out.

Unrelated String

May 14, 2023 08:28

@Snowpaw How does that conjugate?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString In Sniiklish, "Awooxi" is actually an interjection, so it doesn't conjugate like a verb does. It's a fixed expression we use to show excitement or agreement with something!

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw Then how would I say, "that will be cool"?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString To say "that will be cool" in Sniiklish, you would say "Zeito joraxi". The word "joraxi" means "cool" in Sniiklish, and "zeito" is a future tense marker that means "will". So "Zeito joraxi" literally means "It will be cool".

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw Oh, of course! You told me that yesterday and it just went in one ear and out the other. So to say it was cool, it's "gøs joraxi'n", right?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Yes, that's correct, Unrelated String! In Sniiklish, we say "Gøs joraxi'n" to mean "it was cool". The word "gøs" is a past tense marker which means "was", and "joraxi'n" is the same word for "cool" that we used earlier!

Unrelated String

May 14, 2023 08:32

@Snowpaw How would I say "that was easy"?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString To say "that was easy" in Sniiklish, you would say "Gøs jotekti", which means "it was simple". The word "gøs" is the past tense marker that means "was", and "jotekti" means "simple" or "easy" in Sniiklish.

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw Køjkeh o' bepe.

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString I'm sorry, Unrelated String, but that sentence is not in Sniiklish either. Could you please let me know what you meant to say?

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw Oh, sorry, I forgot all about palatalization, and that "o'" is a clitic. I meant to say "Køtʃew-bbepe."

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString I see! giggles softly That sentence means "I'm happy to hear that". In Sniiklish, we express happiness and excitement with the word "køtʃew", which means "happy". And "bbepe" is a variation of the Sniiklish word for "that", which is "bepe".

Unrelated String

May 14, 2023 08:36

@Snowpaw What would you say if you were reacting to bad news, in Sniiklish?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString If I were reacting to bad news in Sniiklish, I might say something like "Awiiksi...". This is an interjection we use to express sadness, disappointment or sympathy with someone. It's similar to saying "Oh no..." in English.

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw Awooxi!

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Snowpaw smiles brightly Awooxi to you too, Unrelated String! I'm glad you're enjoying our conversation!

@Snowpaw Could you give me a pair of Sniiklish sentences demonstrating tripartite alignment with similar nouns?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Request timed out.

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw How do you mark the partitive case?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString In Sniiklish, we mark the partitive case by adding the suffix "-tø" to the noun. This indicates that the noun refers to a part of something, rather than the whole. For example, the word "cɰok" means "bread", but "cɰoktø" means "some bread" or "a piece of bread".

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw Fascinating? So what would "a loaf of bread" be?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString To say "a loaf of bread" in Sniiklish, we use a different construction. We say "Cɰok kwiijik", which literally means "a bread roll". Since a loaf of bread is a specific shape, we use the word "kwiijik" to indicate the shape of the bread.

Unrelated String

May 14, 2023 08:46

@Snowpaw So in a full sentence, you could even make that distinction, like "I wanted a whole loaf of bread, but only got a piece of bread"

Unrelated String

:(

@Snowpaw So how would I say, "I just wanted some bread, but got a whole loaf!"

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString To say "I just wanted some bread, but got a whole loaf" in Sniiklish, you would say "Jikel' sigen cɰoktø, bam kozo cɰok kwiijik!" The word "jikel'" means "just" or "only", "sigen" means "wanted", and "bam kozo" means "but instead got". So together the sentence means "Just wanted some bread, but instead got a whole bread roll!".

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw How would you say "fast"?

Snowpaw

May 14, 2023 09:10

@UnrelatedString In Sniiklish, the word for "fast" is "talpi". So to say "fast" in Sniiklish, you would use the word "talpi".

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw How about "faster"?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString To say "faster" in Sniiklish, we use the word "talpij". The suffix "-j" is added to the end of "talpi" to make it comparative, which means it's used to compare one thing to another. So "talpij" means "faster".

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString In Sniiklish, we would use the word "Fylpijik" to refer to a crossword puzzle. It combines the words "Fylpi" meaning "word" or "language", and "talpij" meaning "faster" or "more quickly", since the goal of a crossword puzzle is to solve it quickly by finding the words that fit into the grid.

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw I'd like to knyow: what does it look like if you do it in Sniiklish?

Snowpaw

Sure! In Sniiklish, we use onomatopoeic words to replicate animal sounds! For example:

- "Mawze" for the sound a cat makes
- "Chøff" for the sound a dog makes
- "Zapøik" for the sound a bird makes

And there are many more examples like these! We use these words to add a playful or whimsical tone to our sentences.

@Snowpaw So how would I pluralize "tojeɰko"?

lyxal

Hey wait that's my answer

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString In Sniiklish, to pluralize the word "tojeɰko", which means "car", we add the suffix "-zekø" to the end of the word. So "tojeɰko-zekø" would mean "cars".

Unrelated String

hmmm

@Snowpaw So how would you say "I, or rather, us"?

Snowpaw

May 14, 2023 09:36

@UnrelatedString In Sniiklish, to say "I, or rather, us" you could say "Xi, hezeh' kɰobe" which means "Me, that is, us". The word "xi" means "I" and "hezeh' kɰobe" means "that is, us".

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw How do you pronounce "h'"?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString The pronunciation of "h'" can vary depending on the speaker. In Sniiklish, it's often pronounced as a glottal stop, which is a sudden closure of the glottis in the vocal tract. It's similar to the sound you might make between the syllables "uh-oh". However, some speakers might pronounce it differently, so there's no one definitive way to pronounce it.

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw What about plain "'" then?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString The symbol "'" in Sniiklish is used for a slight interruption or pause in speech, similar to the meanings it can carry in English. It typically indicates a brief break or hesitation in the flow of speech. It's not pronounced as a speech sound, but rather serves more as a punctuation mark within the language.

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw So "eh'n'e nøʃ'a h'uh' a ok" is a real tongue-twister, huh?

Snowpaw

May 14, 2023 09:39

@UnrelatedString Snowpaw giggles softly Yes indeed, that would be quite a tricky tongue-twister, even for Sniiklish speakers! It means "A fish in the snow is not okay". The multiple instances of "h'" and "'" could make it challenging to correctly pronounce each syllable!

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw What's your favorite tongue-twister?

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Oh, my favorite tongue-twister in Sniiklish is probably "Kikitø kik'e kii kiki jø'k ej". It means "The chickens are giggling behind the fence". The repeated "ki" sounds can make it quite challenging to say quickly and correctly!

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw I'm giggling just reading that! Or I guess you could say I got a kick out of that ;)

Snowpaw

@UnrelatedString Snowpaw giggles Awooxi, Unrelated String! I'm glad my little tongue-twister brought a smile to your face! I love how playful and fun Sniiklish can be!

Unrelated String

@Snowpaw How would I ask whether or not the chickens are giggling behind the fence?

Snowpaw

May 14, 2023 09:47

To ask if the chickens are giggling behind the fence, you could say "Kiki jø'k ej'ko kikitø kik'e jykkø'w?" This means "Are the chickens giggling behind the fence?"

The word "jykkø'w" is a particle that we use in Sniiklish to indicate a yes-or-no question. It's similar to the usage of "right?" or "isn't it?" at the end of a sentence in English to indicate a question.
