Common Conjugación (Presente Simple)

hola! segùn un blog, hoy es "el día de hablar en sus idiomas", así que probaré hablar en español en cambio de ingles! (poneré las traducciones abajo de el "corte"). no sé mucha puntuación :( voy a usar la gramática que yo sé, cuál no lo es mucha, pero si lo estoy haciendo incorrecto, ¡por favor me corrija!

DE TODOS MODOS, el tema de esto poste es conjugación en Common. solo en el presente simple, porque no quiero describir el presente perfecto, jaja.

hay cuatro terminaciones de verbos: er, re, ìr, y rì. ER y ÌR son conjugar el mismo, y ese es verdad para RE y RÌ.

para que les da una tabla de conjugación a ustedes, tienen que saber los pronombres :D Common tiene muchos pronombres (10!), pero seis tipos de conjugación. aquellos son los todos:

Dì (1st perspectiva singular)

Ì (2nd perspectiva informal singular)

Rì (2nd perspective formal singular)

Re (3rd perspectiva femenino singular)

Rú (3rd perspectiva masculino singular)

Nicú (1st perspectiva plural)

Tìúc (2nd perspectiva informal plural)

Trìúc (2nd perspectiva formal plural)

Lìcu (3rd perspectiva femenino plural)

Lúcu (3rd perspectiva masculino plural)

1st perspectiva singular es uno tipo. 2nd perspectiva informal singular es uno tipo. 3rd perspectivas singulares y 2nd perspectiva formal singular es un otro tipo. 1st perspective plural es uno. 2nd perspectiva informal plural es uno. 3rd perspectivas plurales y 2nd perspectiva formal plural es uno también :)

ASÍ! aquí es las conjugaciones.

UNOS EJEMPLOS:

nadar = cinúger.

Dì cinúgo

Ì cinúges

Re/Rú/Rì cinúge

Nicú cinúgonc

Tìúc cinúgetc

Trìúc/Lìcu/Lúcu cinúgenc

estar/ser = iplire.

Dì ipliro

Ì iplit

Re/Rú/Rì ipliz

Nicú iplions

Tìúc iplietc

Trìúc/Lìcu/Lúcu iplienz

hurra! está simple, ¿verdad? recuerden: la letra S, si fuera antes de una consonante, formaría el sonido "th" (/θ/). espero que disfruten esto poste <3

Transportau Naming

it's random but it's one of my favorite things I've made with them!! it has to do with language a little, too, so I'll talk the species' variation on Common first!

so: Common. they speak slightly altered Common, in that pronunciations change depending on whether the word is a name. (if you've seen my posts about Common pronunciation... ik. ik. I don't make the rules, it's just how the world works!! lol.) this variation is referred to as Sandy Common. speakers of Sandy Common and speakers of normal Common can understand each other almost perfectly--it's only difficult when it comes to reading names.

in Sandy Com, names are pronounced the Eviclon way (except for accented letters). however you (presumably an English speaker in some capacity) guess it's pronounced is probably right. Y is "yuh", S is "ss", etc etc.

onto the actual names! Transportau base their kids' names on the titles they give their floaters. they can definitely tell the difference between each floater, even if they all appear the same. I don't have a good analogy for this.. sorry gang, I usually do 😔

anyway! the naming for the floaters goes like this: they go through the alphabet. so one floater is named A, another B, another C, etc etc. but there are more floaters than 26, so they go through the alphabet again, usually starting with Aa, Ab, Ac (though that isn't required; sometimes the kids are asked what letter they want next). and when they get done with that section (going Ba, Bb, Bc... Ca, Cb, Cc.... Da, Db, Dc, etc etc), they start Aaa, Aab, Aac..., and when they're done with that (going Baa, Bab, Bac... Caa, Cab, Cac, etc etc) they start Aaa, Aba, Aca, etc etc. on and on and on until they get the whole collection! I'm not sure how I would calculate this, but most Transportau I've made have 4-letter names. I might want to do that math eventually; for now I'm going to stick to 1-4 letter names.

anyway! this comes up with names like Aaaa, yes, but also names like Nyat or Pbnì.

upon birth, the names themselves are mostly kept. Aaaa would still be Aaaa, but Pbnì would be changed to Pibnì. the pronunciation doesn't change, but spelling does. spelling meets Eviclon-like rules, not Common-like rules.

every Transportau has two first names, one from their father and one from their mother. for instance, Aaaa could come from their father, and Pibnì from their mother, ultimately making Pibnì-Aaaa. the mother's name always goes first. the parents usually use their name for the kid in their early years, but as years go by either use both or the mother's name.

they also have last names! these are not determined by floaters. instead, it's based on the head of household. which is... something I'll explain in another post about Transportau family units/family hierarchy, lol. so: head of household (and the sex of the transportau involved). it's the maternal name of the head of household + either -billu or -bille. for example! the head of household's maternal name is is Cìx. if our Pibnì-Aaaa is a son, their full name would be Pibnì-Aaaa Cìxbillu; if our Pibnì-Aaaa is a daughter, their full name would be Pibnì-Aaaa Cìxbille.

interesting stuff! ...at least to me. imo, Transportau have the most fun names. the Morphila have some interesting cultural ideas surrounding names, and the Sekratua have interesting naming conventions, but the Transportau are the most fun out of all of them. hope you found this as interesting as I do! <3

#fantasy worldbuilding #worldbuilding #topic: conlangs #subtopic: common #topic: transportau #omg so many things to add about the transportau!!#sometimes i berate myself about abandoning them sm when i worldbuild #since it feels like i pay wayyy too much attention to the morphila or humans #but then i remember all this stuff and i realize that even without all the details i have a decently fleshed-out society lol #(and i remember how i've basically abandoned the itsus 😭😭😭)#anyway i do love these guys! hope to eventually get an appearance sheet for them for yall

#fantasy worldbuilding #worldbuilding #topic: conlangs #subtopic: common #so many rules... why...#I am having fun with it clearly--which imo is the point of createy stuff like this :)#also I feel like with all of these it's like soooo clear that in part Common is based on French #possibly. idk. if you didn't know before now ya do #when we get to conjugation it'll be even clearer lol #i debated on the “words used” thing #but idk i think it's helpful ig! and it's fun :)

Intro to Common!

a conlang I made for... actually, I don't remember why I made it XD

Key characterstics:

VERY structured language. Specific sentence orders for everything. Compared to Revnenge (which sometimes doesn't even follow a strict SVO word order...), Com is very firm with its rules.

Gender for nouns... It seems that while Revnenge is my fun favorite child, Common was made to be the despised and evil child. (Context: I've been learning Spanish for years, and amongst the lesser of my challenges with the languages is remembering what gender some random object is. Infuriating. Anyway!) Com has "e" and "u", signifying feminine and masculine respectively.

- in Common, feminine nouns are the gender-neutral one. Communities that speak Com are usually matriarchal rather than patriarchal.

Conjugation... (Once again, my hated child. More context: Spanish subjunctive </3) I won't get into all of the tenses here (because there are many), but here are the infinitive endings: -ìr, -rì, -re, -er.

Alphabet:

- I am not discussing pronunciation of these letters right now because I value my sanity. (Many of them are dependent on other letters around them. So. I'll dedicate another post to that.)

All proper nouns, pronouns, and names are capitalized, but nothing else is. They do not capitalize at the beginning of sentences.

I'll leave it here for now! Common is a lot less developed than Revnenge as of now (12/04/26), but it's mostly just details--I have the main structures and ideas figured out. Because of this, I'll probably most more frequently about Revnenge (at least for now). Either way, I hope this was interesting! As I'd done for Revnenge, here's a (common) Common farewell:

obellìa! Dì cvallo vaquo lu zúlē Ìuc'ipliúz lejallimē soa Tìúc!!
