Hy, my name is Martin and I�m from Argentina.
I�ve been studying the language and I promise that my next message will be
completely in verdurian.
Mark, I got a couple of questions about the language and perhaps you may be
able to answer them...
Tell me if the following sentences are correct please...
<p>I want him to open the door: Ilun vulirao uvir so dheri. (would it be
correct to use the causative here?)
<p>I�m responsible for the house: Ai cures�m pro so�n dom�n. (basically I don�t
know whether to use �eta� or �pro�, or maybe another preposition is
needed...)
<p>Please, answer me soon and congratulations for your site...
<p>Esme fruece,
<br>Martin
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>Hmm, good questions. :) I don't think I've considered using the dative
that way with <b>vulir</B>, but it's consistent with the use of
<b>shesan</b> 'cause'. Would you say 'Le quiero abrir la puerta' in
Spanish?
<p>In any case, I'd probably write <b>Vulu dy uve so dher</B>.
<p>I think the other sentence is fine, but it sounds rather literally
translated from English! Better might be <b>Tu sen hozësne so
dom</b>, lit. 'People entrusted me with the house', or <b>Tenao curesát u domán</b> 'I have responsibility for the house'.
<p>Glad you like the site, and I hope you're surviving the crises in Argentina OK!
