When people argue I don't think they tend towards complicated verb constructions. Keeping it simple and direct gets your point across better.
Taking the first example with "etwas leid sein", what prevents somebody from getting the point out directly and fast: Ich bin es leid! Dein Lügen, dein Betrug, wann willst du es aufhören!? or: Hör es auf! My idea of a universal conlang is: no declensions or conjugations (use pronouns) syntax defines meaning no plurals except pronouns no duals no articles, gender no tenses, just adverbs 2 aspect markers to indicate continuation, completion/change monosyllabic roots based on nostratic, compoundable limited phonological inventory allowing (C)(C)V(C) 1 person has voted this message useful |
